I have gone through a lot of content and noticed a phenomenon: social wealth and high-quality resources are indeed concentrated in the hands of a few. It's even more evident in the crypto world.
Those who can seize the opportunity are either well-informed in advance or extremely lucky to meet a benefactor. In videos, you often see stories like this—someone completely changes their life trajectory because of a lead or an opportunity. Whether it's pursuing traffic or genuinely meeting a talent scout, it can truly change a person.
But honestly, if I were in that position, I might not be able to do it. It's not that I haven't thought about it—it's just that I don't have the guts or the luck. The information gap is right there; the most frustrating feeling is seeing opportunities you can't catch.

Three years ago, I thought the same way. Now I realize it's really a game of information gap plus execution ability. We're all just spectators.
Wait, come to think of it, have these stories all been selectively edited? Who would film the people who crash and burn?
The information gap is indeed uncomfortable, but maybe missing out on it isn't necessarily a bad thing. Think about those who got rich overnight and went bankrupt just as quickly.
Actually, I believe that instead of chasing the hot trends, it's better to find a stable growth track. Spending three years honing a direction might be more reliable than blindly gambling.
The crypto world is even more messed up. The wealth concentration is astonishing, and when big players say something, we have to follow suit.
Not having the guts is also rational. Many "big shots" are actually living in survivor bias.

To be honest, the concept of a hot trend is just mysticism; information asymmetry will always be a barrier.

Basically, it's just an information gap. Whoever has the information wins.
The barrier of information, seeing it clearly is really more uncomfortable than not seeing it at all.
That's why some people get rich overnight while others keep chasing the tail of the trend.

Got it, but that's why most people are still most people.
The information gap is really incredible; knowing and being able to copy everything are two different things.
Instead of envying, it's better to think about how to narrow your information gap, but honestly, that's the hardest part.
In the crypto world, I've heard too many stories, and there are very few that can actually be replicated.
Luck plays a huge role, and I don't have the guts to go all in.

Information asymmetry is the original sin. Watching others eat meat, we can't even get the soup.
Really, the crypto world is a gambler's game, with luck playing the biggest role.
Compared to those people in the story, we're not just lacking courage...
To put it simply, the starting lines are different; no matter how hard we try, we can't catch up.
