Looking at a set of data might change your understanding of wealth.

Among the top 25 industries by global market capitalization, the technology sector leads by a wide margin with $44.134 trillion—this number alone says everything. The artificial intelligence market reaches $20.514 trillion, followed closely by financial services at $20.484 trillion, and payment systems at $18.321 trillion. Further down, software at $17.431 trillion, hardware at $16.980 trillion, the internet at $13.986 trillion, and semiconductors at $13.322 trillion.

In comparison, traditional industries include real estate at $7.982 trillion, retail at $7.621 trillion, and agriculture at only $4.976 trillion.

The underlying pattern behind these figures is brutal—your chosen industry fundamentally determines how much you can earn. Starting a business in fintech and payments naturally offers a market space several times larger than traditional manufacturing. The same effort yields vastly different returns across different sectors.

So why is cryptocurrency worth paying attention to? Precisely because it is becoming the core track in the restructuring of the global financial system. When traditional finance has a market cap of $20 trillion and payment systems are valued at $18 trillion, you'll find that digital assets are capturing the incremental growth in these areas.

It's not that crypto assets will replace everything, but they are standing on the fastest-growing track in this industry upgrade. The evolution of Bitcoin's value perception is the best proof of this track migration.
