I came across some interesting data: among the world's wealthiest people, 75% are entrepreneurs, 10% are stock traders, 5% are crypto investors, 7% are athletes, and 3% are artists. Employees? 0%.
It makes sense when you think about it. Historically, no one has become a billionaire just by working for others. True wealth accumulation essentially requires taking control. Whether you choose to start a business, dive into investment markets, or bet on the emerging Web3 space, the initiative must be in your hands. Passive income and company salaries, no matter how high, make it difficult to cross that threshold.
This isn't to belittle any profession; it's just the market data. Want to truly change your social class? You might need to consider switching tracks.
Web3's 5% of crypto investors should cherish this opportunity; this might be the last chance to overtake on the curve.
I have to be honest about Web3—early entry costs are low, much more friendly compared to traditional startups.
However, that 5% of crypto investors who can become billionaires are probably seasoned veterans who have survived several major cycles... luck also plays a significant role.
Starting a business is the real way to go; no one can afford the risks.
Life's key moves are just a few steps; choosing the wrong track is really a waste.

I believe 75% of entrepreneurs, but only 5% of crypto investors? Feels like the data needs updating
---
Basically, it's a matter of control; working hard still means creating value for others
---
Web3 is indeed an opportunity, but don’t be brainwashed; most people are still losing money
---
It's tough, I’m still working for others
---
75% of entrepreneurs... what does that mean, everyone? In one sentence, you are your best investment
---
But to be fair, not everyone is suited for entrepreneurship; the risks are indeed high
---
So my strategy is to work while also investing in seed rounds, pursuing both simultaneously
---
This data ignores inherited wealth; not all billionaires made their fortune themselves
---
Among that 5% in Web3, there are probably quite a few who got lucky and timed it right
---
The 0% employee part is too harsh, a truly painful fact
---
Looking at this data, I think of the saying: On the road to financial freedom, workers are always a step behind
---
0% this number is heartbreaking, but it’s true.
---
Web3 still has to be played by yourself, don’t wait.
---
In the 75% of startups, how many go bankrupt? The data isn’t complete.
---
Only 10% in stock trading, 5% in crypto. Looks like you still have to go all in.
---
The key is whether you dare to gamble. Most people don’t even have the courage to try.
---
Climbing the social ladder depends on changing tracks. No doubt about it.
---
The working system itself is the ceiling. Wake up, everyone.
---
I just remembered, there are indeed no pure workers on the list of the richest people. A bit ironic.
---
Missed this wave of Web3 opportunities, there really won’t be another. Hop on early.
No matter how hard employees work, they are still working for others; they need to take the plunge themselves.
Web3 is indeed a new track, with much lower barriers to entry compared to traditional startups.
