Actually, many wealthy people have come all the way down I once met a wealthy second-generation British person who described his life as follows: His family has only been collecting rent for generations, and he continues to buy houses with the rent. He can't do anything else. The only thing we can do is get married and have children, and pass on the matter of rent collection. It sounds simple, but it's extremely difficult to do—— Because when children grow up, they want to achieve their dreams, start a business, acquire companies, and change the world... but they don't want to rent. Rent collection is too low and boring, without any technical content. But our ancestors said: on days without rent, you can swim, play golf, walk your dog, travel around the world... what's delicious to eat, what's fun to play. But I just can't start a business or invest. Do you have to invest? There is only one principle: buy houses only in the center of the central area. The whole family was very frustrated about this: it turned out that doing nothing while alive was the most painful thing. In fact, the lives of many wealthy people are very dull and boring. They are always planning how to narrow the boundaries, down to doing only one thing all day long, all year round. And what about us? We are constantly expanding our boundaries, doing this today and that tomorrow, doing it all, the flower season and rainy season have passed. Some things are right from the beginning, and they won't go wrong in the future; Some things are fundamentally wrong and will not be right in the future. Good projects are also like this: Traditional Chinese medicine families have been engaged in traditional Chinese medicine for generations, accounting families have been engaged in accounting for generations, and officialdom families have been engaged in officialdom for generations A truly outstanding family, what did it do 1000 years ago and what will it do after 1000 years. What about ordinary families? Professions are always colorful and varied, and no one is willing to accept anyone. Always quiet and lethargic in high-end residential areas; Ordinary residential areas are always bustling and full of vitality. Things that seem to be full of vitality turn out to be fleeting, such as peonies, lotus flowers Only things that are peaceful and quiet can establish a long-lasting business, such as pine, cypress, holly For the vast majority of people, life: The more confused you are, the more choices you have, and the more choices you have, the greater the consumption. Why is no one willing to pay attention to trivial matters? For example, what survival skills can I master? What can I sell online? When you think about these things, your head explodes. It's better to study "big things" all day long, always thinking that you can handle them and make up for them. A friend sells steamed buns in Guomao and only studies how to make buns every day, rarely thinking about anything else. As a result, I bought two houses at Chongqing Raffles City. He said: To make money, only do things related to making money, only do things that you can understand. Don't worry about anything else. --- Speaking of trading, investing in BTC is actually the survival wisdom of rent collection in the digital age. There is no need for entrepreneurial risks, investment entanglements, or the grand narrative of changing the world. Just keep buying and holding regularly, a small matter that is "so low that it has no technical content", day after day like collecting rent or making buns. It does not have a variety of choices to consume, nor does it have the emotional internal friction of chasing gains and selling losses. The core principle is simple: identify the standard, narrow the action boundary, not be biased by short-term fluctuations, and not be tempted by making quick money. Just like the British aristocratic family guarding the central property, the traditional Chinese medicine aristocratic family guarding the ancestral skills, and the fixed investment BTC guarding the long-term certainty - there is no need to study the K-line every day, no need to follow the trend and listen to news, just invest idle money according to the rhythm, and then do what needs to be done, let time cash in compound interest. Seemingly passive and boring, it perfectly fits the underlying logic of "building a long-lasting business": the less you tinker with it, the more you focus on the right small thing, the more you can cross cycles and maintain stable returns in the midst of confused choices.
