Why do most people spend their entire lives unable to complete the primitive accumulation of wealth? The fastest way for young people in the future to complete primitive accumulation is through gold and BTC. During the Qing Dynasty, there was an official position called "Cha Er Liang" This is a yamen department in the Qing Dynasty, whose job is to calculate that an ordinary person needs about twenty taels of silver to eat and drink in a year And the yamen designed various taxes, so that the people could only earn eighteen taels of silver a year, always two taels short. The people dare not strike or have dreams. After working hard for several years, they only end up with the saying 'a few taels of broken silver, three meals with soup' So, is it the darkness of the Qing government? In fact, it's not the case. Looking around, all capital/rulers from ancient to modern times, both in China and abroad, are like this, and only in this way can they maintain their position as "superiors". The consensus of capital is that ordinary people must not be allowed to complete primitive accumulation. The reason why capital is capital is that it can continuously absorb the surplus value of ordinary people to strengthen itself, and ordinary people lose the opportunity to climb up because they are sucked by capital. Ordinary people cannot earn big money through labor because wealth is distributed by those in power. Labor is assigned by superiors as a price that is' sufficient, not starving '. So money is never enough to spend, so busy hands still have a few taels of broken silver. Because capital will spontaneously and naturally make workers always' almost ', like the carrot in front of a donkey, making people always need to struggle for life. Therefore, the accumulation of wealth is never calculated based on the quantity of labor. If you want to break away from an exploited lifestyle, you must first see enough life samples. That is what we call "broadening horizons and expanding cognition". Firstly, it is important to know which lifestyle options exist in the world that can sustain oneself. Only in this way can we have a reference, starting from the end and designing our own life stages in reverse order. Below, I will share a viewpoint that I have always agreed with: In my favorite books, "The City of Life" and "The Book of Navarre," there is a similar viewpoint - there are four types of people in this world: one ️⃣ The first type of person: a worker: someone who sells their labor and time. For example, most employees and white-collar workers. Due to the refinement of division of labor, only one very specific task needs to be done to obtain higher unit time rewards. But at the same time, because each time can only be sold once, it can only be rolled up in terms of time, physical strength, and mental ability, so the ceiling is low. The anxious' big factory people 'nowadays are like this. Whether it's senior white-collar workers or workers on the factory assembly line, they all operate the same mode within their own ecological niche, with labor being charged according to quantity and more work being rewarded. The greatest creation of the Industrial Revolution was not the discovery of electricity, but the invention of the complete "assembly line" mechanism, where each worker worked from morning till night, resulting in a significant increase in output, but could never learn complete production. After leaving the factory, relying on one's exquisite "single skill", such as screwing screws, brushing flour, pouring molds, cannot independently support a small business. Just like the joke I heard last time: A man married a wife who came out of the imperial kitchen, and later had a big banquet at home. He wanted to invite his wife to cook, but she said she couldn't. Didn't my wife work in the imperial kitchen before? My wife said: I used to work at the Imperial Kitchen Bun House. Ask my wife to make a bun, but she still can't do it. When asked why, my wife says she's from the baozi house filling group. So the person asked his wife to join him, but she still said she couldn't. When asked why, his wife said with a hint of embarrassment, "I am responsible for cutting scallions in the filling group of the baozi house So he asked his wife to cut a slice of scallion, and this time she showed off her skills. The scallion was cut in an authentic way, with even thickness and thickness at each root... Do you look like a white-collar worker working in a big company? two ️⃣ What about the second type of person: those who use "leverage" to sell their labor The so-called 'leverage' refers to a tool that allows' labor 'to be retained and replicated. For example, if an internet celebrity does a live stream and plays it 500w times, they will be sold 500w times per unit of time. For example, if a writer's book sells 200000 copies, their time is copied and sold 200000 copies And the labor he put in was only one creation of a work. This is what is called 'one capital, ten thousand profits'. Leverage may not always be effective, for example, some internet celebrities may have a large amount of traffic but remain unchanged, but only by using leverage can they break free from the rat race of "pay as you go" with labor and have the opportunity to leap forward. Think of everything you can think of, whether it's celebrities, anchors, or artists, they are all like this three ️⃣ The third type of person: people who spend money to buy others' time/human leverage The third type of person is to use appropriate management methods, by assigning tasks/division of labor, to exert minimal energy consumption through "mental labor", in order to motivate more laborers. There is also a saying that the third type of person is using "human leverage" to amplify their labor efficiency. From business owners and capitalists, senior professional managers, to small baozi shop owners who can hire two employees, all belong to this category. four ️⃣ The fourth type of person is always choosing the time to buy the best people This kind of person is always thinking and discerning, letting the best work for themselves, which is what we call investors like Buffett and Munger. They don't need pure 'pay as you go', they just need to make a few judgments, but these judgments require extremely careful thinking, and if they make mistakes, they may have to bear huge costs. Actually, it can't be said that capital has poor intentions The eternal principle of all investments in the world is "high risk, high return" Working carries the lowest risk, and it is natural to be exploited for profit Of course, although entrepreneurship can bring great wealth, there are also those who can go bankrupt. The last three types of people mentioned above will almost always deprive the first type of people of the surplus value in their labor. Therefore, ordinary people feel that it is almost impossible to complete primitive accumulation, always busy but only able to balance their income and expenses, with a few taels of silver in their hands all year round, let alone wealth. The greater opportunity cost is that for many years, all time has been occupied by labor, which will result in the loss of independent closed-loop business capabilities and the inability to break away from the first way of life, making it difficult to have a chance to make a leap. In addition, with the depreciation of fiat currency, the fastest way for young people to complete primitive accumulation in the future is through gold and BTC.
