Waking up in the morning and scrolling through my phone, I saw that everyone in my Moments and group chats was talking about certain “insiders.”

I’ve never understood this: already working at a leading platform with a decent salary, and your projects are thriving—why do some people still feel the urge to “make a quick buck on the side”? Even if such actions make onlookers feel like they’re just “taking everything they can before walking away.”

Thinking about it more deeply—when a stable career path and the chance to get rich overnight are both right in front of you, and it becomes a binary choice, looking back after a few years,

Isn't this human nature? When there's a chance, who doesn't want to take a gamble? --- Honestly, I can't understand it either, but this is the normal state of the industry. --- Stable salary vs. sudden wealth—no one has ever truly been able to answer this question correctly. --- Just grabbing a quick profit, as long as it's possible, there will always be someone willing to do it. --- The key is the probability. Successful stories spread, while failures are buried. --- Mindset is really incredible. Even after making money, people want to earn more—greed has no end. --- So now is the time for me to earn, no need to mess around. --- Why is it always like this? When you achieve a little success, you want to go all in, but the highest risk of failure actually comes from doing that.

To be honest, that's just human nature—once the scales tip, no one can really hold themselves back. It makes me a bit uneasy; it feels like there are more and more stories like this around me. Overnight riches vs. a stable job—I'd be torn too, if it were me. At the end of the day, it's just the price of greed. We all know it, but when a real opportunity comes, it's still easy to get carried away. Isn't it just about wanting more? After all, no one really bears the consequences.

To be honest, I've seen this kind of thing way too many times. Greed can really ruin a person.

Bro, I just don't get it. You have a stable job and still want to take a gamble—seriously? Once greed takes over, there's no stopping it. Don't blame me for being harsh. At the end of the day, it's just human nature. When you put stability and sudden wealth side by side, how many people can really resist? I'm so tired of these "insider" tricks, but the key thing is there are still people who fall for them. Who doesn't know how to take shortcuts? The real question is, can you handle the consequences? If you ask me, in the end, what you lose is your reputation and future. It's just not worth it.

To be honest, I've seen this kind of thing a lot. The key is your mindset. When you have both power and opportunity, it's really hard to resist. It's human nature—when stability and sudden wealth are put together, nine out of ten people will be tempted. But that said, what happened to these people afterward? Did anyone actually get away clean? It reminds me that a lot of big names fell this way too—highly glamorous in the beginning, socially dead in the end. Greed is like shorting; never bet against your own desires. The project is going well, the salary is good, and yet they still want to grab more... I really don't get when enough is enough.

Greed really is the original sin. Even after already winning, you insist on going all in, and in the end you might end up back to square one overnight.

To be honest, this kind of thing is nothing new; wherever there's money, there are people setting traps. When overnight riches and long-term security are both on the table, no one can guarantee they won't be tempted, so don't pretend to be above it all.
