Social structure is like a layered machine: cognitive blocks trap the guardians, capital thresholds prevent resource-limited individuals from advancing, and rule frameworks confine rigid thinkers.



Reality is harsh. Wealth is accelerating its concentration, while the lower classes fall into debt traps, and intergenerational competition barriers are growing thicker. But interestingly, Web3 is carving out several cracks in this wall.

First, let's talk about the role of education. It indeed acts like a safety net—ensuring basic survival, stable employment, and a decent life. Luo Xiang is right about that. But to break through the wealth ceiling? The role of education becomes limited. So what does it come down to? It’s about the market’s sense of smell in crypto, practical on-chain knowledge, and most importantly—the opportunity for low-cost trial and error.

The most magical part of the crypto world is this: background, education, and origins don’t matter; only your judgment and execution matter. A small amount of capital, entering the right track at the right time, can generate returns that are hard to achieve in traditional industries. This isn’t bragging; it’s an objectively existing arbitrage space in the market.

But here’s the problem—Is Web3 a new channel to break down social barriers, or just a new round of filtering? Participants can make money, but what about the fate of most people? That’s worth pondering.

What do you think? Do you believe Web3 can truly tear open the rigid class structure, or is it just moving the gambling table somewhere else? Share your thoughts in the comments.

A small bet can turn your fortunes around, which sounds much better than 996. But honestly, most people come in just as tools to give away money.

That’s quite a sobering statement... but I think the Web3 approach of "only looking at judgment" is still just a hype. In the end, it all comes down to information asymmetry—who can discover the next track faster?

Basically, it's still a matter of probability; those who make money are always a minority. Web3 indeed lowers the barriers, but it also increases the brutality of screening. Without an educational safety net, do you still dare to go all in? That's how most newcomers get weeded out.

It sounds good, but ultimately it still depends on luck and information asymmetry. Those who got in early around me have indeed made money, but most people are just cannon fodder getting cut. This thing isn't as democratic as you might imagine.

Ultimately, it's about information asymmetry and courage. It's not something unique to Web3. Early entrants make money, while later entrants mostly lose money. Isn't this just another form of cutting leeks?

Sounds good, but it's just another round of cutting leeks. Early entrants made a fortune, latercomers are the bagholders. How is this any different from pyramid schemes?
