🧐 Smart people get rich through algorithms, reliable people navigate cycles through trust｜Trust is the underlying logic of all cooperation——

The book series "Xue Zhaofeng Economics" is excellent,

There is a segment that left a deep impression on me:

It is about "trust relationships."

Humans are social animals,

The achievements of going solo are always limited.

What truly creates immense value

Is never the exceptionally gifted individual,

But rather the groups that trust each other and collaborate.

Therefore, whether in traditional industries or Web3,

"Trust" is always the highest leverage productivity.

Especially in the highly volatile and rapidly changing industry of Web3,

Through one round of bull and bear markets after another,

We gradually understand a simple truth:

What can truly navigate cycles are people, communities, and trust.

1️⃣ The premise of community wealth is reliability

A few days ago,

Brother Jinma @jinma_li mentioned a viewpoint in his public account,

Which I strongly agree with:

We can become wealthy through our communities,

And we really need to become wealthy through our communities.

The core of "community wealth" is not just banding together for warmth,

But finding like-minded individuals, aligned values,

And companions who can support each other.

Gathering offline, co-building projects,

Sharing risks and outcomes together—

This is the "compound relationship" of long-termism.

Of course, the premise is: you must first know how to identify people.

Otherwise, the community will only become a pit.

How to identify people? Look at a person's "low points."

Xue Zhaofeng reminds us in the book:

When assessing a person, don’t look at how good they are,

But whether you can accept them at their worst.

Observe how they treat those they dislike, not those they like;

See how they evaluate their exes, former employers, and past partners;

Notice if they can maintain basic decency and kindness during emotional lows.

This is the true "base color" of character.

Another simple judgment criterion:

Look for whether they have long-term old friends.

Maintaining old friendships requires long-term sincerity and time investment,

This is a high-cost signal that cannot be faked.

In contrast, sending flowers, being attentive, and polite

Can be performed at a low cost.

2️⃣ The shortcut to wealth for ordinary people

For ordinary people seeking financial freedom,

The most crucial point is often not "how smart" they are,

But "how few mistakes" they make.

Avoiding pitfalls is more important than finding opportunities.

The biggest pit to avoid

Is identifying those who truly benefit you

And eliminating the bad ones;

People are always more important than things!

Avoid those who will worsen your emotions, judgment, and values,

And get closer to those who are sincere, stable, and reliable.

Trust is a scarce asset;

And judging who is worthy of trust

Is the most important investment ability for everyone.

3️⃣ Final words

Smart people rely on algorithms and information asymmetry;

But in the end, those who navigate cycles are always the "reliable" ones—

They remain steadfast when others are restless, and they still trust when others leave.

Times have changed, technology has evolved, but the logic of trust has never changed.

When you start to learn how to identify people, understand how to filter them, and cherish them,

You are already getting closer to the most stable wealth model.

It is not the curve of currency prices, but the curve of trust,

That determines how far you can go and how much you can accumulate.
