Information explosion, algorithm recommendations, and the prevalence of following trends—In such an era, "cognition" has become the dividing line that determines who makes money and who loses it. Some people are busy every day but remain stagnant; others gain a breakthrough in wealth with a single insight. The truth behind this is actually quite sobering: the gap essentially lies in the understanding and application of "cognitive laws."

You may have heard this saying—wealth equals diligence multiplied by time. But history repeatedly proves it wrong: those who get rich quickly never rely on repeating the same thing over and over. What do they rely on? Cognition, rules, and the "leverage" built by ecosystems.

Think about how the Rothschild family became overnight millionaires at the Battle of Waterloo? How Rockefeller monopolized the entire oil industry? They weren’t necessarily working harder than others, but they were better at "leverage thinking."

**Information is always the most valuable resource.** Knowing the truth one second earlier than others gives you the pricing power—that's the core of information arbitrage. The Rothschild family's rise to wealth was entirely about playing this game: exploiting information time gaps, making strategic moves before the market can react.

In cryptocurrency markets, traditional financial markets, and even daily business decisions, this logic operates constantly. Whoever masters the cognitive advantage is positioned at the upstream of resource allocation. The question is—are you being allocated resources, or are you actively allocating them?
