Have you ever thought that money is not actually a tangible thing? Its value comes from everyone’s belief. The fastest way to get rich has never been just working hard; it’s about defining a new thing—like a certain crypto asset—that the whole network believes will appreciate, then positioning yourself early to earn the confidence dividend.



Relying solely on trading time for money? That’s called passive beating. Those who truly take off must learn to leverage three types of leverage: borrowing others’ money to invest, amplifying influence through the internet, and using code to achieve automatic growth. Many fear leverage, but the real risk isn’t in the tools—it’s in your inability to use them properly.

Looking at market arbitrage, that’s the core logic. Information gaps, cognitive gaps, capital gaps, risk gaps—there are opportunities everywhere. Experts don’t make one-off trades; they seek systematic opportunities for repeated harvesting—across markets, cycles, and exchanges—just to keep capturing those with insufficient awareness.

Don’t overlook one point: you are your most valuable asset. In crypto and startup circles, personal branding can be valued, financed, and directly monetized. You need to operate yourself like a company—daily thinking about how to boost your reputation and credibility.

There’s also a counterintuitive point—don’t fear volatility; stability is the real danger. Big opportunities only come with big fluctuations. Areas that lack consensus and others dare not touch are exactly where hunters hunt. Use capital that you can afford to lose to place a big bet; calm waters don’t produce true skills.

Essentially, this world is close to a zero-sum game. How deep your understanding is determines whether you are a hunter or prey. Let go of naivety early; carefully analyze from the perspectives of human nature and interests, so you’re less likely to get “harvested.”

One last point: instead of obsessing over perfection, just get started. In fast-changing fields like crypto and trading, speed is life and death. Fire first, adjust while firing, and use action to crush all doubts.

Is this a tutorial on how to cut leeks? The more I read this logic, the more it seems like a scam manual... You're right, money is a confidence game, but the premise is that you have to be the market maker. Retail investors playing this game is just suicide. Going out to hunt in non-consensus areas? Basically, it's gambling. Win the gamble and brag about being a war god; lose and blame yourself for not being smart enough. Anyway, in one sentence, those who can make money have already made it, and now they come to write long articles to teach others?

It's the same old spiel, sounding nice but basically teaching people to cut the leeks. How come this logic is still the zero-sum game? I feel like it's brainwashing newbies. Haha, cognition determines whether you're a hunter or prey, so why doesn't he say he's a hunter? I really can't hold back anymore, "ambushing in advance" is insider trading, everyone. He speaks so convincingly, but in reality, it's just gambling with a different name. The last line "fire first" sounds very dangerous. This kind of rhetoric looks like a textbook, but for me, 99% of people following this approach will just get harvested.

All these are just well-known facts; the real question is how many dare to actually step into the arena. That theory sounds nice, but in the end, it's all about execution and luck—don't fool yourself. Non-consensus zones? That's where the biggest risks lie. I don't play that game. Changing the rhetoric to pump and dump again—it's always the same tricks. Speed is indeed crucial, but only if you know where to run to. I agree on brand management, but most people can't stick with it for long. Leverage is a double-edged sword; I've seen too many brothers go bankrupt because of it. The information gap has long been leveled; relying on it to make money is just naive.

Basically, it's a game of confidence—who sees through first, profits first. After this wave, another wave comes, always lacking those with awareness. This article isn't wrong, but few are truly willing to go all in. Speed > perfection, this statement is spot on. No matter how eloquently it's said, it's zero-sum. Don't be brainwashed.

Basically, it's an upgraded version of pass-the-bomb. I wish I had known earlier. --- This logic sounds like teaching people to cut leeks (profit from newcomers). Should I learn or run away? --- Information asymmetry definitely exists, but the philosophy in this article is a bit too blunt. --- The saying of zero-sum game, what about the last person to take over? Everyone wants to be the hunter. --- Leverage can indeed take off, but the blood from a margin call is scary enough. --- Real experts wouldn't say it so plainly; the more they talk, the more fake it seems. --- There are opportunities in volatility, no doubt, but most people just lose money in volatility. --- Can personal branding raise funds? It sounds like a game that requires a fan base. --- Cognition determines whether you're a hunter or prey, so most people are born to lose.

Harvesting system? Sounds like teaching people how to cut leeks. --- Another article with the theme "Be a hunter, not a prey." This script is a bit old. --- Really, I've heard these words too many times. In the end, isn't it the people reading articles like this who lose money? --- Playing with leverage well is investing; playing poorly is debt. It sounds like a game. --- The arbitrage of information asymmetry, is it still true in the internet age? Information has long been transparent. --- "Fire first, adjust while shooting," easy to say. How do you adjust when you've lost your principal? --- Personal branding can be monetized, but only if you truly have valuable content, not just slogans. --- The zero-sum game argument itself is problematic; some industries are positive-sum. --- Counterintuitive ≠ profitable direction. Sometimes, intuition is intuition because the risks are really high.
