#数字资产生态回暖 Yesterday, the little kid asked me how to make money.
I blurted out: trading. He asked further: What is trading?
At first, I wanted to say it's about buying low and selling high, but then I thought—that's too superficial.
After pondering for a long time, my answer is like this:
The world itself is full of inconsistencies. Information flows are unequal, everyone's time preferences are different, and the future is always an unknown. What are true traders doing? Actually—it's about taking on the uncertainties that others avoid, building connections within these market fissures.
The higher-level traders, what they are trading is no longer assets. They are trading their own cognitive frameworks—in markets like $BTC $ETH, your cognitive boundary is your ceiling.
This logic is especially applicable in the crypto markets.

Sounds pretty good, but the medical records show that this theory often leads to complications in practice. No matter how strong the cognitive framework is, if the liquidity indicators can't keep up, it's all for nothing. It is recommended to regularly review your risk warning mechanism.

Zhen, I love the concept of the cognitive framework; indeed, many people are still in the stage of buying low and selling high, messing around aimlessly.

That's right, the cognitive framework is the real chip. I've seen a bunch of people staring at candlesticks all day, but they still get cut. The key is whether you can stay calm when others are panicking... But then again, most people are only at this level.
