The education we received from a young age taught us how to become excellent workers, how to move bricks skillfully, and how to have strong execution. But the truly valuable knowledge has never been systematically taught — and that is the perspective of capital.

Especially for investment traders, in this era, whoever masters the thinking of capital holds the key to unlocking wealth growth.

What is the perspective of capital? Simply put, capitalists don’t look at the product itself, but at the resources behind it. Can something appreciate in value? Can it flow? Can it be transformed? These are their dimensions of thought.

Most people are consumers, selling what they have and buying what they need. But those with a capital mindset see how much potential for appreciation lies behind it. A project, a currency, an asset — they are all just resource reorganization games. Understanding this principle allows your investment logic to upgrade from "intuition" to "law."

This statement hits the nail on the head, but to be honest, the gap between brick movers and capitalists is more than just mindset; they are fundamentally playing on two different levels. The people in the crypto circle are the best at bragging about capital thinking, but in the end, they still get cut, feeling like there's a bloody river between them and the rules. Some people have been taught to think like capitalists but end up losing even more; the key still comes down to execution and luck. Don't mythologize this stuff. Always talking about liquidity transformation and appreciation, but in practice, isn't it just guessing ups and downs? No matter how advanced this thinking is, it doesn't work. Resource reorganization sounds impressive, but most retail investors can't even understand basic asset allocation, so how can they talk about different thinking levels?

To be honest, I've heard this set of arguments too many times... but it really hits the mark. Most people are just living the consumer's dream. The crypto world is even more ruthless. It looks like playing with coins, but in reality, it's a psychological game of resource circulation. From a capital perspective, it's just viewing the world from a different dimension, upgrading from "how much is it worth" to "how much can I make." It sounds sophisticated, but in practice, it's about finding value-added points, assessing liquidity, calculating conversion rates... it's just these. --- The life of arbitrage is indeed boring, but shifting to a capital mindset isn't something you can do overnight. --- So the core is still having someone to teach you how to see the logic behind projects, rather than blindly following the trend and buying in. --- Exactly, most people are always consumers, while those with a mind are doing business... and the same applies to cryptocurrencies. --- Feeling like an upgrade to a rule-based approach sounds great, but the practical implementation isn't easy. --- That's why people in the crypto world feel anxious. Once you understand the resource game, you can't go back to simple buying and selling. --- Hmm, the mentality of working for someone else and the capital mindset are two parallel worlds.

Well said, but this set of theories is still too idealized for retail investors... Real capital thinking isn't so easy to learn. Capital thinking sounds impressive, but in reality, it's about who has better information, reacts faster, and holds more chips. Feeling like it's upgraded to a rule? Bro, there are countless losses in between.

Huh, you're right. Just doing arbitrage really has no prospects. Capital mindset really has to be learned from scratch; no one teaches it. When looking at cryptocurrencies, you should ask whether they can appreciate in value—that's the right approach.

A typical survivor bias: capital thinking is indeed valuable, but only if you have principal. --- Sounds good, but isn't it just a hype game? Whoever gets in first makes money, and those who come later are just bagholders. --- From a capital perspective, this is the most skilled in the crypto world, but they also cut the most chives. --- Come on, doesn't that mean we have to learn to cut others? Haha. --- Honestly, this way of thinking makes sense, but it lacks a key word—risk. Capitalists make money and also lose money, but no one talks about it. --- Resource reorganization game? Sounds a lot like a Ponzi scheme—it's all about who can run faster. --- I understand, but it's useless for retail investors to learn capital thinking. They have information gaps and larger funds; we just can't play on the same level. --- That's why project teams in the crypto space keep talking about this, brainwashing retail investors into thinking they're starting to think. --- That's right, but the problem is most people still rely on intuition after learning this set. The rules are only for the wealthy. --- Hmm... Feels like talking about a truth but packaged like a success story. Better to stay cautious.

You're right. We've been taught since childhood how to work 996, but no one teaches us how to make money work for us. This is the difference between capital thinking and working mentality—one focuses on value appreciation, the other on paychecks. In the crypto world, those who make money have mastered this logic. It feels like investing truly needs to be upgraded to systematic thinking.
