How can an ordinary person make a lot of money? This question has been a top trending topic on Zhihu for years. I remember reading an answer from a guy who said he'd just bought a red Ferrari, parked it on the side of the road while waiting for his girlfriend to buy something, and typed out how he made 20 million yuan a year while his hands were on the steering wheel. He said he worked in finance, providing cross-border fund transfers... It was only after reading the comments that I learned about the gray market and the existence of stablecoins, and then I got hooked on cryptocurrency trading and gambling 😂 (This industry has a really bad reputation in China, please don't be offended).
What I want to say today is that every generation has the opportunity to defy fate. If ordinary people want to make big money, they can only be bold (those who know, know; if you're compliant, you're out of luck).
My parents' generation had an uncle who was very kind to me. Every time he came to our house, he would bring me all sorts of novel toys. Later, when I grew up, my dad told me that this uncle used to be a driver, but later, through connections with his superiors, he was transferred to an oil depot. Every time he drove a tanker truck to deliver supplies to gas stations, he would stop at a private gas station halfway there to refuel. He did this for several years, bought more than 20 shops on our busiest commercial street, sent his children to study in the UK, and later took his family to Europe and never returned. Murder and arson bring wealth, while building bridges and repairing roads leaves no trace. Perhaps this is the truth of ordinary people's lives, but it's too dark and has become an unspeakable topic. In the crypto, as long as you are ruthless enough, you can make a lot of money quickly. Unfortunately (and gratefully), you and I will never become that kind of person. I am fortunate to have met a group of like-minded friends in this melting pot and I am happy. The above story is purely fictional; any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental.
