When talking about "poverty," many people immediately think of hard work, diligence, and acceptance. But if you've truly experienced life at the bottom, you'll understand—poor people are never lacking in effort; what they lack is something else.



**The era has always been offering opportunities**

Business, investment, career change, new tracks... opportunities are always there. The cryptocurrency market is no exception. The real question isn't whether there are opportunities, but—when they come, can you hold on until they bear fruit?

**Waiting is the enemy of the poor**

It's not that they don't want to wait; it's that reality doesn't give them the conditions to wait. Bills pile up, emotions drain, returns are invisible... What to do in the end? Rushing to turn things around overnight, rushing to prove oneself, rushing to jump into anything that looks like an opportunity. The more anxious, the worse the performance.

**Patience itself is wealth**

The ones who truly change their fate are not necessarily the smartest. It's those who can hold their ground and not act recklessly. When the market is unclear, wait; when opportunities are uncertain, wait; when your mindset is unstable, wait. This isn't lying flat; it's living in uncertainty without making fatal mistakes.

**The only fairness in the crypto world for ordinary people**

It doesn't look at your background, education, or connections. It only looks at one thing—you can survive long enough. You don't have to get in on every wave; you just need to: lose less money, not get eliminated, and keep going.

**True turnaround begins with giving up**

Turning points are rarely about instant wealth. Often, it's when you realize one day that you've stopped chasing blindly, stopped emotional trading... and only then does the possibility appear.

If you can't wait, it's really over. I've seen too many people trembling with anxiety over bills... The crypto world is actually just testing whether you can survive longer than others.

That's right, poverty isn't really about a lack of effort, but a lack of bullets. Patience, to put it simply, is having the capital to endure; people at the bottom can't hold on. The crypto world seems fair, but in reality, it's still about who can survive long enough... That's just how it is. Chasing and operating recklessly, nine out of ten times you'll fail, and that's true. Holding on is the way to survive, but the prerequisite is that you have something to eat.

That's right, but I realize that most people still lack mental preparation; only a very few can truly hold on.

That comment is a bit harsh; to put it simply, it's about living longer and not rushing to play with fire.

According to research, this article touches on a core paradox in behavioral economics—the decision-making imbalance under capital constraints. It is worth noting that the "urgency" of the poor is not a psychological defect but a data-driven rational behavior. When the cash flow cycle is shorter than the investment return cycle, the time discount rate rises sharply, making seemingly irrational decisions actually forced. The crypto world indeed demonstrates a certain fairness, but the premise is that your survival options are long enough—which is precisely what the lower classes lack the most.

There's nothing wrong with what you said, but the truth is — most people won't make it to that day at all.

It's all about timing; when you can't wait, every opportunity becomes a trap. --- Really, the hardest part in the crypto world is surviving long enough, much more difficult than making money. --- So ultimately, you still need capital to support you. Without reserves, how can you wait? --- Stopping the reckless chasing is easy to say, but who can resist when the bills are pressing? --- The reason you can't hold on is never because you're not smart, but because you have no money. --- I feel like all these points are correct, but the reality is that there are no conditions to wait. --- For the common people at the bottom, not being eliminated already counts as a turnaround. --- When an opportunity comes, you also need to be able to endure losses; that's the highest threshold.

I've been through it all; the most likely time to get into a Ponzi scheme is when you're in a hurry. --- Waiting is too painful; I was dead in 2018 because of that. --- Holding steady and not moving sounds good, but the problem is that the bills won't wait for you. --- The so-called fairness in the crypto world is nonsense; information gaps still crush beginners. --- Stop chasing blindly? First, you need to survive until that day. --- Another motivational quote, but the reality is that most people can't endure until they see the results. --- Reducing losses is the most practical approach; it's more reliable than any get-rich-quick schemes. --- Living through a bear market long enough can indeed make money, but the premise is that you still have money in your pocket.
