The Enlightenment of CZ's New Book on Personal Wealth Accumulation one ️⃣ Create value rather than chasing money @CZ_Sinance believes that money is just a byproduct of value creation, and true wealth comes from how many problems you solve for others. If you can create 10 points of value and only take away 8 or even 5 points of return, actively leaving value space for partners and customers, the business can have unlimited possibilities for expansion, and the long-term accumulated wealth will far exceed imagination. After the announcement of September 4th, CZ used 40% of the company's reserves to protect users, and this commitment to user interests ultimately resulted in several times the growth of users and long-term profits. two ️⃣ Embrace liquidity and avoid hoarding physical goods CZ's view on wealth tends towards "light assets" and "high liquidity", as he believes that excessive physical assets can become a burden on life. He doesn't collect houses, luxury cars, artworks, or watches. This mentality of "just carrying a box and leaving" allows him to quickly adapt to the business environment of different countries and maintain flexibility in decision-making. In 2014, less than half a year after first learning about Bitcoin, he decisively sold his only property in Shanghai and fully invested in Bitcoin. three ️⃣ Taking personal ability as the ultimate risk control CZ's understanding of risk is different from that of ordinary people. He believes that the greatest adventure is not to participate in major opportunities in one's personal life. Ability is the greatest insurance: Many people think that holding a full position of Bitcoin carries high risks, but CZ believes that the real risk lies in the lack of personal ability. He believes that even if Bitcoin goes to zero, he can always find a job with an annual salary of one million with his technical and financial abilities trained on Wall Street. four ️⃣ Regard time as the scarcest asset In CZ's principle, time is more precious than money. As long as you start cherishing time, success and money will naturally follow. Establish a 'Don't Do List': Success depends on how well you do the few things you choose. By rejecting meaningless socializing, meetings, and idle chatter, focus your energy on core business. five ️⃣ Cognitive Upgrade: High Return Learning Investment The height of wealth often depends on the depth of cognition. CZ believes that books are the investment with the highest return on investment (ROI) for self-improvement. He tends to read about 80 books per year to establish a systematic worldview, rather than reading short, fragmented news stories. Don't be fooled by labels such as' company ',' position ', or' some currency ', see through the essence and first principles of things. Pay attention to disruptive new technologies and intervene early on. Although there are risks, early adopters typically receive exponential returns. Summary: As CZ stated in the book, "True wealth comes from the value you create for others. Did everyone learn anything?
