Recently, I've been pondering a question—why are some people able to seize the opportunities of the era, while most cannot see them?

Every era has its own leverage. The previous generation turned their fortunes around with the internet, before that it was real estate. And now? It’s definitely AI and crypto.

Interestingly, many people are still viewing these new developments through outdated mental frameworks. They regret missing the internet era, feel remorse about missing real estate, and now watch helplessly as crypto and Web3 reshape the wealth landscape, still hesitating.

The reason crypto is called leverage is that it offers a completely new way to participate—no need for traditional financial thresholds, no need to wait for institutional approval. Individuals can become participants, builders, and even beneficiaries of the ecosystem.

This is not just about asset allocation; it’s about understanding and grasping the times. Seize it, and you accelerate wealth accumulation; miss it, and you can only watch from the sidelines. Now is the window of opportunity for this era.

That's right, but the problem is that most people are not even aware that they are hesitating; they still think they are contemplating. Speaking of which, many who seize opportunities also end up crashing; only those who survive this wave until the next cycle are truly winning. Wait, how long is the window period you're talking about? It always feels like every era is shouting that the window is closing. Actually, the most heartbreaking thing isn't missing out, but knowing it and still not taking action—that's true despair. In the eyes of the older generation, hesitation might be all that the newcomers have; not everyone can go all in. Crypto indeed breaks down barriers, but information asymmetry is the real leverage. Most people can't see it because they simply haven't been exposed to the right circles. Instead of lamenting, it's better to figure out whether you truly can't see or if you're just afraid to act.

Well... that's right. People who buy the dip at high levels can never see the trend clearly. The low levels are the real opportunity. I'm just a cautionary example.

Basically, it's about information asymmetry. Some people have already gone all in, while others are still hesitating over the K-line charts... We've heard this window period phrase many times, but it does carry some truth. The problem is that most people don't even understand what an opportunity is, and are still waiting for someone else's confirmation. Friends, I'm really not trying to scare you. If you keep hesitating, it will truly be too late. That wave of the internet has indeed helped some people get on board. Now it's Web3's turn. Are we going to wait for the next era to regret again? Honestly, people who don't understand crypto generally also don't understand AI; their thinking framework gets stuck. But to be fair, not everyone can make money in this wave. You still need a bit of insight.

The term "window period" has become tiresome, but how many people are actually taking action? Most are still just talking about FOMO with a scared heart. What they call leverage is really just a gambling mentality. I choose stable returns. Wait, are you implying that now is the time to go all in on crypto? That logic is flawed. During the internet boom, anyone could participate. Is the threshold for crypto really that low? Nonsense. People who missed the internet era are doing just fine now. Being cautious is also a way to survive. I believe in AI and crypto, but I would never bet my life savings. Too many have been burned before. The issue isn't whether you can see it or not; it's whether you're willing to gamble your hard-earned money.
