Looking at passion, but easily misunderstood

Many people focus only on the second half: wealth skyrocketing after age 60, seeming to live long enough for money to roll in. But the real point to consider is the first half.

From 13 to 30 years old, wealth grows from 5k to 1 million in 20 years. Today, this growth rate is not "legendary," even slow. From a crypto perspective, many have seen these numbers in just three years.

Here's the issue. Buffett's gap isn't about "earning quickly," but about always staying at the table.

From 35 to 44 years old, wealth fluctuates repeatedly, even showing clear setbacks. In the crypto world, he would have been mocked as "missed the era." But he defies human nature: no leverage, no chasing hot trends, no using a single win or loss to prove himself.

And you see the results. True breakout happens not in youth, but after others are eliminated by time.

The painful point of this chart is: it denies the narrative of "turning fate around overnight."

It's not about the impossibility of sudden wealth, but that in the long run, wealth is like a game with an extremely low exit rate.

Reflecting today’s market: the biggest risk isn't missing the trend, but being eliminated after one or two mistakes.

This isn't motivational talk, but calm, even brutal truth: what determines the upper limit of wealth isn't how much you earn in a year, but whether you can still sit at the table 20 or 30 years later.
