2025 will be a watershed year for me
A year of gradual self-acceptance
A year of awakening
Sometimes I wonder, what keeps me坚持 in this industry? I’ve never quite figured it out, until a couple of days ago when I saw something very worth pondering. Sharing it here with everyone:
Society repeatedly tells you:
Not trading stocks / B = Stable
No speculation = Rational
No messing around = Safe
So you stand aside peacefully, thinking you’ve left the gambling table
But in fact, you were born into this Ponzi scheme
Holding cash, which is packaged as conservative
But in financial terms, this is called
Heavy short position on long-term growth
You are passively betting on technological stagnation, population decline, and decreasing fertility rates, with severe aging
Deflation is coming
Otherwise, why would your purchasing power shrink year after year?
This is a one-directional, stop-loss impossible short position
You buy a house
This is packaged by society as “necessity” and “settling down”
Translated into asset allocation:
High leverage, all-in, single-region city stocks
Locked in for thirty years, with zero liquidity
And praying that population, fiscal policy, industry, and politics all stay stable
You take the civil service exam
Your family tells you “stability” and “iron rice bowl”
But what you’re actually doing is:
Long-term bullish on national credit and systemic continuity
All your human capital
Is bound into a super long-term, non-transferable bond
What you endure isn’t volatility, but the delayed manifestation of systemic risk
All these bets can be collectively called: no speculation
Only in the stock market and crypto space
Risk is allowed to fluctuate in real-time, settle instantly, and be openly displayed
So it’s labeled as:
Dangerous, irrational, high risk, not to be touched
Candlestick charts become scapegoats
And those larger positions:
Thirty-year mortgage curves,
Lifetime cash flow from careers,
Locked-in human capital
Are seen as certain because there’s no market chart
The brilliance of this narrative lies in:
Making you believe you haven’t bet at all
When everyone is passively holding positions, the only one being criticized
Is the person who knows they’re gambling
From the very beginning of entering the space, I thought nothing was more hip-hop than decentralization, so I went all in; now I realize more deeply that we should carve out our own path, even if it means bearing future uncertainties
As the saying goes, “Spring breeze and proud horse,” but a horse isn’t fat without night grass. It’s precisely because we have nothing that we must go all out, isn’t it?
In the new year, I wish everyone smooth sailing, good luck, and abundant wealth
