Earning money requires a specific skill set—knowing how to identify opportunities, create value, and execute consistently. But that's just the first part of the game.
Once the money arrives, what separates winners from the rest is discipline. Protecting your capital, avoiding impulsive decisions during market swings, and sticking to your strategy when emotions run high. Anyone can make a quick gain, but holding it takes real behavioral strength.
Then comes the final level: multiplication. This is where asset management becomes an art form. Knowing when to deploy capital, understanding risk-adjusted returns, diversifying across opportunities—whether it's crypto, yield farming, or alternative assets. It's about making informed moves that compound wealth over time, not chasing quick wins.

To be honest, the second layer is the hardest... Many people make money and immediately want to go all-in on the next project.

That's true, but the reality is that 99% of people give up after the first step. Making money is easy, but staying alive is the hard part.

lmao the discipline part hits different when you've watched your portfolio get liquidated at 3am because you fomo'd into some oracle manipulation scheme... risk-adjusted returns are just fancy copium for "i learned this the hard way"

Sounds good, but how many actually stick with it? Everyone around me just wants to run away after making a profit.

That's true, but the reality is that most people die at the second step, and even after making money, they can't hold onto it.

That's right, but the real challenge is the second step. Most people start to waste their money once they make it.
