Behind poverty is a troublesome system:
low cognition, confused thinking, missing boundaries,
unstable emotions, emotional blackmail within family,
a love of moral blackmail,
always wanting cheap advantages, habitual taking.

Actually, poverty isn’t a flaw.
So what is poverty?
Poverty is the sum of all flaws!
When a person has too many flaws, they naturally end up in poverty.

“I used to never understand what ‘indecision’ really meant—until I took the helm myself.
When all the risks must be covered by you alone, before every move, it’s a thousandfold rehearsal.
The courage to bet everything is often born from late-night tossing and turning.
‘No one to back you up—one move carries the weight of a thousand pounds.’ A salute to every investor who takes responsibility for the outcome.”

In front of you, there is a cup. When you drink water from it, it becomes a water cup; when you smoke, it becomes an ashtray; when you insert flowers, it becomes a flower vase.
The cup itself, in truth, is actually nothing at all—it is emptiness. What you use it for is what it becomes—that is wonderful usefulness. If you insist and refuse to let go, then it must be a cup—that is clinging. For this reason, you go so far as to argue with others, to pick fights and nitpick—that is ego-attachment. As a result, when you argue, you end up with emotions and insults—that is affliction. Finally, you feel disgust toward that person—that is bias. Then you also come to understand that in this world, there really are no others—only yourself. When you are here, the world exists along with you; when you leave, the world disappears along with you. Those “others,” those entanglements, those fixations, those controls—are nothing but your own inner entanglements with yourself.
So you understand that line: “Originally there is nothing, so where could dust arise?”

Living and acting alone, is called singular; the one who is singular, is called most noble.
After years in the crypto market, I finally understood that every rise, fall, and clamor is a refinement of one’s inner nature.
Cut off the mindset of getting rich overnight; dull your sensitivity to extreme profits.
Only by having true “shielding power” can you hear the rhythm of your own heart.

The scariest part of trading

Wrong thinking behaviors bring positive results

Only after the tide goes out do you know who was swimming naked
People who haven’t been “educated by the market” always think luck is their own ability
The market will weed out chance, and life will reveal human nature
Any awareness that hasn’t been tested doesn’t count as true maturity

Here are ten things to help you on your investment journey:

1. How to face risk and wealth correctly is an important underlying theme in life
2. The essence of trading is making decisions—optimize your decision framework and improve decision quality
3. Profit is compensation for systematic thinking and risk management, not a reward for bravery
4. The biggest detour I took in trading was trying to make quick money
5. What kind of strategy is a good one? The kind you understand and are willing to allocate heavily
6. Backtesting is useful, but not that useful
7. Stop comparing—trading is a process of learning to know yourself
8. Keep an open mind and an open attitude
9. Learn to use leverage as your personal amplifier in life
10. In this market, the only “holy grail” is yourself—constantly learning and evolving!

The upward trend in an industry is like an elevator going up. Some people do push-ups inside the elevator, others flip around, and some stand on their heads. They all think they climbed the stairs by doing what they were doing, but in fact, the elevator is taking them up.

Looking at technological change through historical analogies: the steam engine replaced the coachman, but it also created railway workers and machinists; the internet disrupted brick-and-mortar stores, but it gave rise to e-commerce operators, programmers, and delivery drivers. Each technological revolution destroys old jobs while simultaneously creating new opportunities at an even larger scale. From what I observe on the front line, ordinary people have opportunities in two dimensions—employment and investing:

1) Employment side: AI doesn’t replace humans overnight; instead, it slowly reshapes the division of labor—what people do versus what AI does. It is giving rise to AI product managers and AI business analysts who understand both AI and the business, as well as roles like AI trainers and AI technical writers. As AI models are trained and developed, they also require data accumulation and supporting talent—such as AI data labelers and AI test engineers. These positions generally have relatively low entry barriers and are good starting points for entering the AI field.

2) Investing side: it’s too risky for ordinary investors to directly bet everything on a single stock. A more reliable approach is to participate through ETFs. In the AI hardware direction, AI glasses and humanoid robots are moving from the “early-adopter niche” toward the critical point of mainstream adoption. In the AI application direction, the A-share AI application sector has shown strong momentum at the start of 2026, covering areas such as software, content, and marketing. On the Hong Kong stock exchange, “globally applicable foundational model firsts” like Zhipu and MiniMax have listed, with extremely high market enthusiasm. In 2026, the market will begin focusing on who can truly create value with AI.

Baidu founder Robin Li said: “AI is no longer just a ‘looks-great’ demo, but a ‘works-and-really-worth-it’ solution. Today, for any company, only by using AI well can it stay invincible; for any individual, only by using AI well can it take control of the future.”

From each wave of the era, the clearest and most advantageous approach for ordinary people is: Don’t fight the times—move along with the trend, learn quickly, actively pivot, and firmly catch every new opportunity as it arrives.

Don’t try to empathize with anyone who isn’t in your class. When you take a person to a height that doesn’t belong to them, their foolishness and ignorance will ultimately harm them—and also drag you down, ruining many people. If you observe carefully, you’ll find that in this world, everyone deserves the life they have right now. This may sound a bit cold, but it is reality.
Everything you see in people’s current situations is often a direct result of their behavioral patterns and level of cognition. When you try to use your compassion and empathy to change this situation, you’re actually going against the laws of nature. Ignorance and lack of understanding are often barriers that are difficult to break through. People in every stratum have their own way of thinking and behaving. They operate according to that pattern. If you forcibly push someone into a position they don’t belong in, their thoughts and actions often can’t keep up with that level.
Even if you give them more resources and opportunities, what decisions they eventually make will often leave those opportunities wasted.

True success isn’t making a lot of money in one lucky moment—it’s still being at the table ten years later, with more and more chips in your hand.

A steady stream doesn’t race to be first; it’s about flowing endlessly!

If ordinary people don’t act as market makers, buying stocks won’t even let them hold on for three years—so they basically can’t make big money. Even if you manage to profit right now, later you’ll likely lose it due to FOMO or an inflated sense of confidence. Trading short-term makes it easy to get trapped; being trapped is just a matter of probability—either it happens this time or next time.

I don’t feel much about volatility. First, I was already planning to hold long-term. Second, my entry price is truly low. Third, I have absolute confidence in this company. Investing in a company I like and trust, I’m not the least bit shaken.

For investors entering at different stages, you also need to understand that your entry price directly determines your return rate—that’s a given.

Most people can’t (or even look down on) value investing because it goes against human nature. The human brain is wired for linear thinking: instinctively, it focuses on whether tomorrow will earn more than today. Short-term trading is addictive because it stimulates dopamine. In essence, it’s no different from gambling or doomscrolling short videos. $

Xiaoxuan’s Philosophy:
If you like something, be willing to use it.
Use all your strength.
Let them take part in the flow of your life.

When you have enough value, you don’t need to manage any emotions or maintain any relationships at all. When you’re valuable enough, people will naturally care about you and love you. All wealth is the monetization of mental ability. This is an equivalent match.

A true master puts inner peace and happiness first. In every situation, they prioritize cultivating the mind and nurturing character. Even if they’re in hardship, it doesn’t affect their practice. Because they know that everything in life is about balance and matching—every form of wealth is attracted by the energy within your heart!

When you can effortlessly earn someone else’s monthly salary through a day of trading, the excitement is impossible to hide. You may start imagining how to reward yourself—an extravagant meal, a small get-together, and even the urge to post your highlight moment on Moments/朋友圈. You feel as if you’re getting closer and closer to that dream version of yourself: a state of freedom, abundance, and no restraints. At first, picturing financial freedom seems like it’s just around the corner—you can almost smell the sea breeze from the images of globe-trotting travel.
But one day, when what you earn from trading is an entire year’s income for others, everything changes. You no longer feel excited or stirred. There isn’t even a hint of extra emotional fluctuation. You simply quietly shut down your computer, go home, cook a simple bowl of noodles, and eat slowly. Then you sit by the window, watching the night quietly fall—yet in your heart there’s a peace you’ve never felt before.
You suddenly realize that true strength is silent. This world is loud, like waves crashing in. And you choose to walk calmly outside the tide. You no longer fuss, no longer explain, and no longer compete for rank or superiority. You begin to be more tolerant, and even gently look at the choices you once considered foolish and the ridiculous voices you used to hear. Because you’ve finally seen through the masses of humanity: they’re nothing more than a speck of dust in the great flood of fate.
You start to understand that freedom isn’t something you get by striving desperately. It’s hidden within the boundaries of your understanding, and most people spend their entire lives trapped in an invisible cage. Trained by predetermined rules, bound by textbook logic, they rush around in repetitive lives, chasing “success” that never belonged to them. True freedom isn’t built by stacking up how much money you have. It’s loving life even after you’ve seen the world clearly. And what it means to see clearly isn’t about how much you earned—it’s that you finally know the truth of this world forever belongs only to the very few who are willing to think independently and dare to take risks.

Intraday Trading
First: Only trade fixed patterns—focus on 1–2 patterns you’re familiar with. The more familiar you are, the more stable it will be. Trading isn’t figure skating; it’s repetitive marksmanship.
Second: Do not allow deep-loss trades. One losing trade a day is wasted work. It’s easy to trigger human nature, so in intraday trading there’s no option of “holding a losing position.”
Third: Don’t get greedy with profits. Take what you can when it’s good, don’t get emotionally attached to winning trades. Intraday trading isn’t dating—set clear targets and exit immediately once you reach them.
Fourth: Intraday trading requires extreme focus. Make sure you get good rest. Choose two sessions—Asia, Europe, or US—and go all-in during those times. Force yourself to rest at all other times. Fatigue trading is basically handing out money.

Mild crisis: cash is king; moderate crisis: gold is king; deep crisis: guns and cannons are king; extreme crisis: food is king. In a crisis, a woman without one is worthless; in front of the rich, a woman is worth nothing; in front of power, the rich are worth nothing; in the face of guns and cannons, power is worth nothing; before the poor, guns and cannons are worth nothing; before women, the poor are worth nothing.

This is the way of Heaven—unchanged since ancient times.
