I had a sudden trip to Shanghai today, so I updated the article in the morning.
Let’s talk about a topic that I have always wanted to talk about: faith and enlightenment.
Our industry is so strange that it doesn't even have a name:
Digital currency, virtual currency, blockchain, web3, cryptocurrency...
Sometimes I don’t even know which channel I’m on.
But fortunately, we have a common identity - people in the cryptocurrency circle.
In the past, I looked at this industry and compared it with the financial industry. But when I looked at it again this year, I felt that it was more than that. On the basis of financial attributes, it also had the elements of humanity and social experiments.
Everyone who enters this industry has their eyes on its future and wealth effect.
But probably most people cannot make money in an industry with a clear future. Why do you think that is?
From my own experience, I think there are only two points, namely faith and enlightenment.
Let’s talk about faith first.
The word faith is considered very noble by Jupiter. A person will only believe in and follow it if he or she highly identifies with and respects it spiritually.
But for most people, they are just speculators. They just think that there is money to be made in this industry and want to come in and make a quick buck. They have never really thought about the future of this industry, and they don’t even believe in this industry.
But because of the differences in ecological niches, those who choose to be sickles will cut those who choose to be leeks, or when faced with cyclical fluctuations, they will choose to cut themselves.
Only those who truly have faith can withstand the storms of the cycle.
They are not afraid of decline, they hold on firmly, and they increase their positions against the trend.
Whether it is the industry or the market, they will reward this group of steadfast diamond hands, but Orange prefers to call them believers.
You can ask yourself, do you have faith in this industry?
Are you here to speculate or to build?
How many years are you willing to stay in this industry? What are you willing to pay for this industry?
If you ask yourself to the end, you will find: speculation will die, but faith will live forever.
So the question is: How does faith arise?
This is really a good question. In fact, only a very small number of people will think about this question. From an observer's perspective, it is actually difficult to understand why those people have such a strong belief in these empty things?
This brings us to the second point: enlightenment.
Everything in this world has its gains and losses.
Whatever you gain, you will inevitably lose.
But, are you aware of this kind of exchange?
As for Ju Zuo’s own experience, he had been unsuccessful in his entrepreneurial endeavors for more than ten years, and he had tried and failed over and over again.
It wasn’t until 2018 when I started my own media that I received some positive feedback, but I didn’t make much money.
But this incident gave me great motivation. It was not until 2021 when I started doing online education that I made money in the bull market.
So when I read this sentence in "Speeding Life 2" this year, I burst into tears: I have tried many times, but opportunities only exist one or two times.
To me, this is the best opportunity I have ever encountered in my 30-plus years of life, and I must do my best to seize it.
So during those years, I worked really hard and didn't rest until two or three o'clock every day. My body was damaged during that time. During those two years, I really took medicine every day and was hospitalized frequently.
My family advised me to rest more and put the things at hand aside for a while, saying that I could earn money later.
I said no, I finally caught the opportunity, and you want me to let go?
I know my family cares about me and is worried about my physical condition, but I know very clearly that if I let go of this wave, I may never find such a good ecological niche in the future.
Even if it shortens my life by a few years, I must consolidate this wave.
I am willing to overdraw my life in exchange for a few more years of rapid development.
This is my willingness to give up, my awareness, I prefer to call it sacrifice.
Although I had to interrupt related business due to force majeure, my understanding of faith and enlightenment has also deepened.
So let me ask you the other way around, my friend.
What are you willing to give up in order to gain?
Do you have the awareness to give up in order to gain?
In fact, the best case is not me, but those coin hoarders, those old miners.
Their understanding of Bitcoin and even cryptocurrency is much higher than that of ordinary people. They can recognize the uniqueness of this thing and are willing to spend money and time on it, accompany these currencies to grow together, and even stick with them.
When they have such realization, the decline actually doesn’t mean much, because it is within the range of what they give up.
And every subsequent wave of rise and every breakthrough of new highs is a feedback to the power of his faith, which he deserves.
Some people say, I didn’t enter so early and don’t have much assets to invest, what should I do?
It's easy. You can join the game like me, use your body to become chess pieces, and vow to win.
But if you want everything, I'm afraid you will end up with nothing.
