Cryptocurrency industry workers, let's talk about people around us who made money in the crypto space.

Boss A, during the bull market in 2017, a student who had just graduated a few years ago set a small goal. Then he invested his own money and led a team of 7 or 8 people to work on a project. These 7 or 8 people had all lost money during the 2017 bull market, just in varying amounts. Later, the project failed, the team disbanded, and for the boss, it was just that he didn't lose money.

Boss B, in 2020, benefited from the GameFi boom, with an investment of hundreds of thousands, made tens of millions in profit, and generously distributed 1 million each to the team members.

Colleague C, after two rounds of bull and bear markets, made enough to buy one apartment, cashed out to buy the apartment, and now plays around with the remaining money, boasting that who in the crypto space relies on a salary~

Colleague D, a technical expert, now works full-time on MEV arbitrage, not working in a traditional job, earning hundreds of ETH a year.

Colleague E, a technical specialist, earns 2 million a month from creating gold farming scripts, not sure what else he can do, now working overtime every day.

I won’t mention the hearsay; there are really many opportunities. A few years ago, mining, inflow and outflow of funds, just in the recent DeFi, NFTs, Dogecoin, and exploiting loopholes could yield hundreds of thousands, can you believe it? If you hit the jackpot once, you won’t have to worry about living.

In this circle, you’ll feel like there are too many things to do, too many opportunities, and money is everywhere; it just depends on whether you’re willing to pick it up.

However, there is too much survivor bias.

Almost all my colleagues, entrepreneurs, and users around me are losing money, failing; 99% of projects from big companies are also losing money, relying on a few core businesses for profit. The 2-8 rule means that if 1% can make money, that’s already pretty good.

But still, many people come; they can’t be stopped. It’s no longer called the crypto space; it’s called Web 3.0. Why? Because although the chances are slim, let’s say 0.1%, it’s still much higher than the 0.0001% of other markets and industries, right? After all, ordinary people don’t have many choices.
