In the past two days, I learned two terms: "Black Growth Power" and "Youthful Spirit," which seemed quite abstract at first, but as I read on, I realized they were actually talking about ourselves. "Black Growth Power" is a psychological concept describing how a person who has experienced an extremely low phase - such as deep sadness, prolonged setbacks, or even incomprehensible grievances - gradually develops a stronger adaptability. It's not a sudden burst of resilience, but a quiet recovery, like taking root in darkness, becoming more stable, more capable of enduring complexity, and seeing the truth of things more clearly. I find this term quite close to reality. Because some people have indeed been pulled down by fate once, or even several times. But they didn't completely fall apart, instead continuing forward with the calmness of someone who has been submerged. @cz_binance is a particularly typical example: In 2024, he went to the United States alone, not knowing how long he would be sentenced, with Binance, such a large enterprise, weighing heavily on him and @heyibinance. Looking back now, I feel that was truly a dark moment. But what happened? He was only sentenced to four months, and after coming out, he was completely unaffected, pushing BNB Chain to the global top position within a few months, focusing on charity, education, and AI. That recovery speed and sense of direction is perhaps one reason why they can be at the top of the industry. This might be the so-called "Black Growth Power". Others might think you've sunk, but you're actually growing in a different way. I thought of another example with @thankUcrypto. He went from $10,000 to $50 million early on. Many only see the latter half of the growth, but I know he went through a lot in between. Borrowing, losses, lack of direction, but he didn't stop, continuously writing and adjusting his approach. He wasn't suddenly wealthy, but was finding opportunities while in the low points - a spirit many couldn't endure, staying indebted for three years without results. Another term is "Youthful Spirit". I initially thought it described young people's passion and fearlessness. Later, I understood it's a continuous mental state: willing to explore, not believing in fate, constantly trying to break boundaries. Brother Sun is such a person, from creating social platforms in college to founding TRON, becoming Trump's crypto advisor, listing on US stocks with Tron Micro Strategy, still striving in his 30s. You can't quite call him young, but his spirit refuses to lie down, stop, or accept mediocrity. "Youthful Spirit" isn't about being young, but always feeling you can take one more step. It's not about burning for others to see, but an inner fire that never extinguishes. In these past few years, I feel I'm a mix of these two forces. Three years ago, I just wanted to earn $300 a month. I didn't think much, just endured and worked. Now, though I haven't achieved anything remarkable, I know surviving, maintaining rhythm, and continuing to output is already quite difficult. This isn't motivation from high emotions, but a stubborn refusal to rot or retreat. So these two terms are meaningful to me. One is about not letting yourself decay in the worst environments; the other about maintaining the drive to move forward in the most mundane stages. Most of the time, growth doesn't happen in glorious moments, but slowly during those gray, heavy, exhausting times when no one is watching. I love a saying: "True strength isn't about how many times you win, but how you lived during those dark years." I feel "Black Growth Power" and "Youthful Spirit" perfectly answer this.

This is also why people who make money have more energy and motivation, which will make them more motivated, while people who experience setbacks need to rely on a strong core to drive themselves forward.

I won't brag about Nengheng. Nengheng has been active in our group since 2002. But at that time, Nengheng was a project owner, not an independent KOL. We, who do secondary real-time trading, don't really have much contact with the business in the circle. Now Nengheng has made his own way. He has experienced too many cold eyes, rejections, ridicules, and huge losses before, but these things are definitely nutrients for growth rather than poison for people like us. Most people who can accomplish things are very resilient, and only perseverance can turn a thousand trials into gold. Sprint in your own track.

Let's sprint together, Teacher Lao At the time, it should have been when FTX collapsed I was still confused back then Unable to find a direction forward, but I only knew that crypto was a blue ocean Three years of time have been letting us grow It was also a thorough baptism of growth

That means you don’t use Weibo. I started sharing on Weibo at the age of 22-24, and only started retweeting at the age of 25.

This group has been watching for 22 years
