I remember the richest teacher wrote a book, (treating time as a friend), later this sentence was borrowed by Teacher Luo, changing it to 'friend of time', and did a lot of programs, making a big profit. Hearing this sentence does not mean understanding it. Yesterday I saw someone discussing this topic again on X, and it was quite good. 'One of the most solid, indestructible, and unchangeable laws in this world is that time always moves forward, always flowing away.' 'Time is an invincible existence. When a person lives a little longer, we sometimes praise him: he seems to have conquered time. In fact, he hasn't; time will eventually take him away. When a person holds Bitcoin for a little longer, we praise him for choosing to be a friend of time. When a person keeps shouting for altcoins, then changes to another altcoin in a few days, I feel he chooses to be an enemy of time. Including Ethereum, whether it is a friend of time, I am not sure. A person borrowing and trading coins, using all kinds of online loans, faces a lot of repayment pressure each month. I think he chooses to be an enemy of time. A person playing contracts every day, staying up late to monitor the market, frequently trading. I think he chooses to be an enemy of time.' What is certainly foolish? Standing opposite to time. Because time will definitely move forward, and you will definitely lose. — Andy Lau
