Why do some people always manage to seize opportunities?

The person who used to have lunch with you three years ago and now drives a new car—what’s the difference?

It’s not that they are much smarter than you, nor is it all luck. The core lies in—they understand some things you haven’t understood. When the market presents new possibilities, their first reaction is to research; your first reaction might be suspicion. By the time you figure it out, the window has already closed.

This difference in thinking patterns is vividly reflected in the crypto market.

Recently, a former U.S. president made a high-profile entry into the crypto space, sparking huge controversy. Supporters see it as a historic convergence of traditional power structures and the decentralized world, while critics say it’s just another speculative game.

But think about it calmly: whether you like it or not, political attention is indeed changing the rules of this market.

Granting amnesty to the founder of a major exchange instantly gained goodwill across the industry. Hosting crypto whales at banquets directly ignited market sentiment. Behind these actions is a profound understanding of the underlying financial logic of “consensus value”—in the crypto world, consensus equals value, and attention equals liquidity.

Many are asking: “Is it still possible to enter now?”

This question itself reveals a limited mindset. Trends are such that the best timing is either in the past or right now. What you invest in is not just capital but also your judgment of the future landscape. Using affordable funds to buy an opportunity for cognitive upgrade is a move that’s never a loss.

Of course, the market carries risks. But a greater risk might be standing on the sidelines, watching, and trading today’s stability for five years of regret.

Those who can transcend social classes are often not the most cautious, but those who are best at grasping cognitive gaps.
