How to define financial freedom?
The essence of the freedom we want is not wealth; wealth is only a tool.
free
It is essentially time autonomy
The so-called personal financial freedom means that a person no longer has to sell his or her time to meet basic living needs. To achieve this state, you first need to have a clear definition of "freedom". Only when you have a clear picture of it can you gradually approach it. Ambiguous goals will only make you lose your way on the road of pursuit and make it difficult to make effective plans. If you have a clear picture now, you have actually taken the first step towards freedom. If you are already in this state, you can actually tell yourself that you no longer need to speculate in cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrency circle
Why don't we engage in traditional fields?
Why do we choose to immerse ourselves in the cryptocurrency circle?
Bitcoin is not only an innovation in financial technology, but also a catalyst for anarchy and freedom. Its birth symbolizes a struggle against corrupt governments and monopolistic financial institutions; it is a 'currency weapon' aimed at weakening the dominance of power structures. Why don't we engage in traditional fields? Why do we choose to immerse ourselves in the cryptocurrency circle? It's not because traditional fields cannot stand, but because the crypto world represents a bottom-up revolution to reconstruct the wealth distribution system. The essence of this movement is to challenge the existing social structure and promote the redistribution of wealth.
Is it possible to achieve financial freedom in the cryptocurrency circle?
The answer is, of course, affirmative.
Is everyone very eager for Tianzhi to talk about how to roll over positions, how to farm, how to stock coins, how to launch projects? Some even come to my comment section directly asking: Is it long or short? If I say the wrong thing, then you have no level.
I find it very amusing.
Only low-dimensional people continuously seek 'methodology,' hoping to imitate everything. Various videos and texts on methodology are everywhere. They all tell you; have you learned it? The market follows the same trend; some people profit while others lose. Have you replicated the profit methods?
Financial freedom is not merely a simple 'methodology,' but a profound understanding of market laws. Many people initially pursue various methods, believing that methods can directly lead to wealth, not realizing that truly effective methodologies are based on a comprehensive understanding of the market and a deep integration of strategies. Often, the difficulties we encounter are not due to the inherent complexity of the problems, but because our ways of thinking are flawed, and our cognition and perspectives are too narrow.
The way.
To someone holding a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
—— Charlie Munger
The way of heaven is ruthless, often favoring the good—heaven's way is the natural law; it does not change due to human likes or dislikes, nor does it show bias based on one's character. The true meaning of 'the good' refers to those who are adept at utilizing natural laws and are well-versed in social and interpersonal dynamics. Heaven will only favor those who can comply with and wisely utilize its laws. Therefore, what we should pursue is to understand and master these objective laws, guiding our actions with them rather than opposing natural laws based on personal desires. Just like the changing of seasons, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn is the constant rhythm of nature. If someone insists on going against heaven and violates these fundamental laws, they will ultimately find it difficult to escape failure.
Everyone's viewpoints, beliefs, and understanding of the world are partial. When dealing with emotional issues, trading decisions, or even interpersonal relationships, relying on personal experience often leads to bias. However, if we can abstract the underlying laws and flexibly apply them in future similar scenarios, we will be one step closer to success. Mastery of these laws is precisely the path to personal growth. If our decision-making is based solely on personal experience rather than deep insights into objective experience, we are still far from true success.
20% 80%
To everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
—— Bible, New Testament
To transcend classes and achieve financial freedom, one must understand the underlying 'rules of the game.' In any social structure, a few key factors often lead to the majority of the results, which is the so-called 'Pareto Principle.' The 20% of clients may bring 80% of a company's revenue, and 20% of the population holds 80% of the wealth. The Matthew Effect also reveals this: the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. Looking at history, in any country or era, resource distribution has always been extremely unbalanced.
Achieving financial freedom is not something everyone can attain. Only those who can become part of the 20% minority, possessing decision-making power, productive resources, and significant influence, have the possibility of not being affected by external fluctuations. Those with strong influence and economic status often have decisions that can sway market direction. Meanwhile, the fate of ordinary investors is often dictated by higher-level strategies. They may strive and resist, but under the suppression of capital tides, most ultimately remain 'passive.'
In reality, inequality has seeped into every field. The liquidity of wealth is becoming increasingly low, and the mobility of classes is gradually tending toward closure. In the future society, a situation of 'dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes' may even emerge. Children from wealthy families receive quality education and grasp social resources, while children from poor families indulge in consumption, unable to surpass their family's economic status. Wealth no longer flows as it did in the past but is locked in the hands of a few. This phenomenon exists everywhere, whether in China, Europe, or any other country.
On the road to achieving financial freedom, the most important thing is to clarify one's positioning. One must realize that in the cryptocurrency world, governed by the law of the jungle, those with the greatest 'harm capability' often hold ultimate power and occupy a proactive position in profit distribution. Everyone needs to find their foothold in this jungle. For grassroots individuals aiming for a turnaround, the key lies in utilizing the laws to act, understanding accumulation, and only through layers of honing, possessing the determination and willpower to surpass others, can they break through class limitations. While searching for methodologies, always remember not to abandon your true self, grow from suffering, and find your own light of freedom on the road ahead; you will surely become one of the few winners.
