Seeing a graphic that someone posted on X, and thinking it made a lot of sense…
But all this copywriting is just FOMO—telling you about the opportunity “you missed” that’s already passed, and the dividend of a past era...
= In the real world:
Every year/month/day, there are countless new “hot opportunities” and new “projects.”
Out of 100, or even 1,000 projects, maybe only one actually succeeds.
99% of entrepreneurs end up facing nothing but lost people and money, crushed by debt...
But project promoters will always use historical success stories to brainwash new little green sprouts with no skills.
The lines in this graphic are basically 9999% pure poisonous chicken soup, 24k gold plating.
And it’s no different from how I “already knew about BTC back then”—if only I had bought xxx yuan worth of BTC.
In the third year after BTC first came out, trash coins were everywhere. Anyone would tell you: BTC is already too expensive, it’s not worth that money—you should buy xxx coins. And the moment they ticked up a bit, you’d get rich...
Actually, all of this is survivorship bias. Back then, there were tons of ideas and projects that were unreliable; we only end up seeing the one that finally succeeded among the countless choices and thoughts at the time—and then we complain and regret that we didn’t do anything back then. But given what it was like back then, the chances are we would have chosen the wrong project anyway.
If time-travel can’t be done carrying your current understanding with you, then even traveling 100 times, the ending won’t change.
In this world, there’s no such thing as “should’ve known.” If there were, there wouldn’t be poor people.
Only weasels would stand at the cliff edge and tell the chicken: “If you don’t jump, how do you know you’re not an eagle?”
So, many things—just look at them and move on. Don’t take them seriously, and definitely don’t put them into practice.
If you don’t try to get yourself killed, you won’t die.
More terrifying than lying flat and giving up is making an all-in gamble—because before you do something reckless, people don’t know just how big a disaster they can cause. 😂
