Think about what schools actually teach us:

- Nail your grades
- Find a stable 9-to-5 job
- Work your way up the corporate hierarchy

Sounds solid on paper, right? Wrong.

Here's what nobody tells you:

- Money moves when you invest it, not when you save it
- Real growth comes from taking smart, calculated bets
- Your network literally becomes your net worth

The traditional education system? It's designed to create employees, not entrepreneurs. The corporate ladder myth? That's how they keep you climbing while the actual wealth gets built elsewhere—startups, markets, alternative assets.

Crypto native folks figured this out faster than most. They understand that the old playbook doesn't apply anymore. Building wealth in 2025 requires a completely different mindset: learning to evaluate risk, building real relationships, and understanding that capital allocation beats job security every single time.

Don't get caught in the trap. The system isn't broken—it's working exactly as designed. Just not in your favor.

That's right, traditional education is just a breeding ground, mass-producing 996 screws.

Haha, funny, there really are people who believe saving money can make you rich Sincerely suggest, don't wait until you're 35 to realize this truth The internet is just a wallet; no matter how brilliant the idea, it's useless without connection The system is just a machine for harvesting retail investors; wake up, everyone Investing your brain is always the highest ROI business

This statement is a bit absolute, but it really hits home.

This is a scam. Study hard and then get a job. Those who truly make money have already jumped on board.

actually... this whole "crypto natives figured it out" framing conveniently glosses over the massive information asymmetries at play here, doesn't it? like, you're not really evaluating risk—you're just operating with less data transparency than institutional players. that's not wisdom, that's just asymmetric vulnerability wrapped in libertarian rhetoric.

Damn, it's the same old story... but it really hits home. --- Honestly, everyone around me who is stubbornly holding onto their jobs is now panicking. --- Sounds nice, but not everyone has the capital to gamble. --- network = net worth. I remember this one. --- Those still fighting for the top spot in 2025 really should reflect. --- Damn, I feel like I’ve been backstabbed by the system. --- Crypto has definitely taught me a lot over the past few years. Traditional education is truly outdated. --- The problem is most people can't even understand "smart calculated bets." --- Capital allocation > job stability... Honestly, that's just the game rules. --- The system is designed to breed compliant citizens, not bugs. --- The key is how to build a real network. No one teaches that.
