Brothers, I need to clarify something important. Investing and making money is not a matter of luck or superstition; it’s simply a matter of understanding economic cycles.



Listen, wealth in life really depends on cycles. And in 2026, we are exactly at this critical moment when an old cycle ends and a new one begins. Those who miss the cryptocurrency market now will probably regret it for a long time.

Here’s the thing the wealthy know well: success doesn’t mainly depend on effort, but on cycles. Look at China over the past 20 years. The Shanxi coal mine bosses, with no formal education, find a mine and end up millionaires. The real estate owners in Pékin ou Shanghai, often with just primary school, earn more in a month than construction workers do in a lifetime. The difference? They rode the right economic cycle.

So let’s talk about cycles. First, there’s the short Kitchin cycle, about 40 months. This is the inventory cycle, where supply and demand create regular fluctuations. When demand explodes but supply takes time to catch up, prices rise. Then supply catches up, inventories build up, and prices fall. Buy at the bottom, sell at the top—it’s that simple.

Next is the medium Juglar cycle, around 9-10 years. This is the equipment investment cycle. Companies buy new machinery, and after a few years, these assets wear out and need to be replaced. This creates waves of expansion and contraction. There’s also the Kuznets real estate cycle, about 20 years, linked to people’s behavior: buy a house at 20, improve it at 40, and then the next generation needs housing.

But the most important for us is the Kondratiev cycle, the long cycle. About 50 years. And this is where massive wealth creation really takes place.

Look at history. The first Kondratiev cycle (1780-1840): Industrial Revolution, steam engine, the Rothschild family emerges. The second (1840-1910): Railroads, engines, steel, Rockefeller gets rich. The third (1910-1970): Electricity, automobile, Ford creates a legend. The fourth (1970-2020): Internet, electronics, technologies, Bill Gates and tech entrepreneurs explode in wealth.

And now? The fifth Kondratiev cycle begins between 2020-2030, driven by AI, new energies, and life sciences. This cycle could surpass all previous ones and create unprecedented wealth.

A famous Chinese researcher, Zhou Jintao, had predicted all of this. He said: wealth depends on economic cycles. He was right about the subprime crisis, the real estate turning point, everything. His theory: 2016-2026 was the depression phase of the Kondratiev cycle. And now that we’re in 2026, we’re entering the recovery phase. An unprecedented bull market could really be right at our doorstep.

So here’s the message: understand cycles, respect risks, stay flexible. That’s how you become the winner of your destiny. We’re at a historic turning point. The next three years will be decisive for those who truly understand where we are within this Kondratiev cycle.
