These days, life is really tough for many middle-class families. People who once worried about which luxury car to buy are now concerned about mortgage defaults. This stark contrast reflects a harsh reality: the proportion of middle-class assets has been continuously shrinking, dropping from over 25% more than ten years ago to around 13.7% now, essentially halved. The seemingly glamorous "middle-class identity" is actually just a piece of paper. When the overall environment fluctuates, it immediately reverts to its true form.

Why should we pay attention to crypto assets? Simply put, the core pain point for the middle class is—having houses, cars, and savings on paper, but lacking any productive assets. Essentially, they are "high-level workers" within the capital system. When the economy tightens, layoffs and salary cuts follow one after another. What about their assets? Either real estate, which has terrible liquidity; or funds and stocks, which are tightly controlled by others. Want to quickly liquidate to hedge risks? No way.

To truly avoid falling back into poverty, two things must be done. First, break the single income structure. Use fragmented time to learn the basic logic of the crypto field—what is the core value of decentralization and blockchain. Don’t be misled by the phrase "all crypto is scams"; genuine crypto assets are supported by technology, not pyramid schemes. Second, diversify assets. The saying "don’t put all eggs in one basket" is correct, but don’t put eggs in too many baskets either. A reasonable approach is to allocate 20%-25% of total assets into crypto assets with growth potential, which can hedge risks without causing too much pressure. Only then can you truly protect yourself during market fluctuations.
