The essence of society is to constantly exploit the poor at the bottom until they collapse!
This society makes things difficult for the poor—the poorer you are, the more the entire system steps on you, pushing you down to the bottom. The richer you are, the better your life gets. Everyone is pushing you up, carrying you on their shoulders.
When brothers realize the rule of "the strong stay strong" and understand that "changing your position within the system" is the only way to break through, consistently investing in gold and BTC becomes a key step in turning awakened awareness into real action.
This rule isn’t taught in school, nor do parents understand it. We can only figure it out ourselves, stumbling and learning the hard way.
So, what is this core rule?
Simply put, it’s “hierarchical stratification and exploitation at every level.”
Superiors exploit subordinates, the strong exploit the weak.
The reason society is structured as “layer upon layer, each exploiting the next” is because resources are inherently scarce—good school spots are limited, good industry positions are limited, profit margins are limited, and opportunities for advancement are limited.
With limited resources, those in power naturally use their resources, information, and connections to cement their positions.
The weak can only accept a worse fate under information asymmetry and lack of resources.
This isn’t a moral issue—it’s a structural problem.
That’s exactly why rich kids learn “plan ahead, reduce trial and error, improve the quality of choices.”
Ordinary kids, on the other hand, mostly learn to “be forced to make mistakes, forced to accept, forced to bear the costs.”
The difference between people doesn’t start with effort, but with “whether you can avoid detours.”
Over time, this creates a dynamic and stable system of “the strong stay strong, the weak stay weak.”
They are well-versed in using capital to create more capital, trading connections for more connections, and even making rules to protect their interests.
So, the lower you are on the social ladder, the more you feel the exploitation and pressure from society—it’s malice everywhere.
You think this is cruel?
Look at nature: lions tear apart antelopes—there’s no fairness, only rules. The strong making things hard for the weak is part of the world’s order. Human society is no different; it just replaces fangs with systems, relationships, and resources.
This rule is most directly reflected in the disparity between kids from poor and rich families right from the starting line:
This “original intention” directly determines the direction of a child’s future growth.
Rich kids, before they even turn 18, have already gained deep enlightenment about social rules, thanks to their parents’ material foundation and guidance.
Their parents know exactly which schools to send them to, what majors to choose, which industries to enter, and whom they need to meet.
So, they rarely detour.
In the golden twenty years of their lives, they sprint from the starting line, accumulating capital, connections, and knowledge.
Kids from poor families, on the other hand, have to figure everything out by themselves.
How to make money? How to navigate society? How to see the interests between people? They don’t know.
So, they have to rely on themselves. Their only way to grow is stumbling, trial, and error.
But the cost of trial and error is extremely high—it consumes the most precious things: time and youth.
A harsh reality is that the crucial period in life is actually very short, roughly from age 20 to 35—just fifteen years. These fifteen years are when your physical strength, energy, and learning ability are at their peak, the time to fight for “incremental gains.”
After 35, you depend more on the “stock” you accumulated in the first fifteen years—experience, assets, connections—to compete.
But kids from poor families generally realize all this too late. By the time they finally learn the ropes in their thirties or forties, after being tempered in society’s crucible, they look back and realize their golden years are gone.
An ordinary person without family support usually goes through a tough life path under this rule:
Childhood and school: facing triple deprivation—material, informational, and spiritual. Lacking material resources, information, and even spiritual support.
After years of hard study, finally making it to college, they have to endure the most intense sense of wealth disparity.
During their studies, they may have to hustle for part-time jobs. This constant contrast stings, reminding them of the world’s inequalities.
Rich kids spend their summers at camps in the US, studying abroad in Europe, while ordinary parents worry about scraping together next semester’s tuition.
Entering the workforce: You graduate with a diploma and passion, thinking you can finally make your mark and change your destiny.
But reality is, after sending out hundreds of resumes, you might only land a low-paying job.
You wake up early, squeeze into the subway, rent a tiny place, and trade the best years of your youth for barely enough to survive after deductions for insurance and rent.
Saving money? Pure fantasy. You feel your life wasting away with no value.
Even as you age, you still have to watch your boss’s moods. You realize what “the workplace” really means. That colleague who’s not so capable but good at flattery gets promoted.
You see the boss who bosses you around isn’t that skilled either, but still sits in that position.
You start to understand “exploitation”—much of your labor doesn’t become your income, but rather your boss’s performance and the company’s profits.
You feel oppressed and unfairly treated, but you don’t dare quit because you still need to pay rent and buy food next month.
In the end, you become just a cog in the system, selling your youth cheaply, enduring exploitation and injustice, yet not daring to leave for the sake of survival.
This job is far from the “career” you imagined—it’s trivial, repetitive, and feels meaningless.
Starting a family: Eventually, you reach the age of marriage. Parents’ calls change from “How’s work?” to “When are you getting married?”
Traditional pressure to “settle down,” plus the eyes of relatives and neighbors, feel like invisible whips driving you.
That’s why being poor is so sad. Why?
To get married, you need to spend all your savings, all the money you’ve earned over years. Then your parents’ savings are also spent. Then your grandparents’ savings go too.
Just to get married, three generations’ savings are spent, to buy a home, make a down payment, get a car, pay the mortgage, and even then you can’t afford gas. Three generations pay the price so you can get married.
At this point, you might collapse, break down in tears, pray for help, or complain bitterly about society.
What did young people do wrong? Why do they have to bear such a heavy burden?
You did nothing wrong.
You’ve just been living “trapped,” passively surviving.
For ordinary people, no matter the era, it feels like being alone within four walls—breaking free is nearly impossible.
Because the education and knowledge you’re given only teach you how to be a qualified cog in the machine.
You’re never taught how to seize opportunities, how to fight, how to climb up, how to become a person above others.
Those carefully molded on the assembly line in the greenhouse of college often find what they learned is out of touch with reality, falling into deep confusion.
Society shows its beauty and privileges to the rich and powerful, but bares its sharpest, cruelest fangs to the poor and those at the bottom.
Especially for young, inexperienced poor people, society’s harsh lessons never arrive late.
So, young people without background or family support are destined to be hit hard by society.
Because you can’t immediately see the rules, and if you can’t see the rules, you can’t find the right path to make money. Without money, you become anxious, empty, and trapped in a vicious cycle.
I deeply understand that sense of inner split many friends feel. Every moment when you long for something better and want to turn your life around, reality turns that hope into a bullet aimed at yourself.
So, after recognizing these cold, cruel rules, what should you do? Just give up and lie flat?
Of course not.
This system seems impenetrable, but it does have cracks. History shows that true game-changers are those who see through the rules earlier than others and dare to use them.
Emotions and complaints can’t change anything, because they can’t alter the reality determined by resources and structure.
The first step to breaking through is to channel all the energy from complaining into studying the rules.
A true breakthrough comes from a simple but harsh logic—
You can’t change the system, but you can change your position within it.
That’s why countless ordinary people break through against the odds.
The first step is cognitive awakening—fully understanding how society works and the logic of money.
The second step is making choices—choosing industries and career paths that are on the rise.
The third step is managing relationships—getting rid of a victim mindset, understanding that the essence of social interaction is value exchange.
They don’t suddenly “become strong.” Instead, they gradually reach a position where they can “see the rules and use them to their advantage.”
Your current suffering and struggle aren’t just for yourself. You’re accumulating capital for your entire family and the next generation.
You are the first in your family to break the cycle.
So, you must build a core confidence of “I am supreme”—not arrogance or pride, but an internal, absolute self-affirmation and belief.
It means that on the road to your goals, you must build unshakable core confidence. Your value, your goals, your path are defined and defended by you—not easily swayed by outside doubts or difficulties.
You must become the first lion of your family—sharpen your claws, take the lead, blaze new trails, and become the “lion king” of your clan.
We live in the world—since we’re here, we must walk the path of humans. You must make money, you must become someone above others.
Why become someone above others?
Because “becoming someone above others” isn’t just a slogan or motivational hype.
At its core, it’s about moving from passive to active within the rules of the game, from being exploited to being in control, from drifting along to having the power of choice.
When you stand firm, have resources, a voice, and the power of choice, you naturally rise to a higher level.
At that moment, you’ll understand:
“To become someone above others” is not to trample others, but to no longer be trampled by the world.
In the end, you’ll find that the essence of consistently investing in gold and BTC is the same as becoming someone above others—not to trample others, but to no longer be bound by the rules.
When you build your own assets through steady investment, have the confidence to not worry about rent, and the freedom to say no to meaningless overtime, you’ve already moved from “passively exploited” to “actively in control” within the system.
And that is the ultimate meaning of breaking through for ordinary people: not overthrowing the system, but using tools outside the rules to open a door for yourself and the next generation—a door that doesn’t require you to bleed and break to turn things around.

I trust you, 👻, you old rascal, you're really bad. How can I invest without any money? 😏
