Don't Be the "High-Cognition Poor" in the Crypto World—Reflections from 🤔

If in the crypto circle you're highly educated, highly aware, diligent in following trends, yet still haven't made big money, really, go and take a good look at Guo Jingfei's "Old Uncle"

Old Uncle is a typical high-cognition poor person: a top student from a university of technology, obtained a lawyer's license, can sing, dance, write novels, collect stamps, run a clothing store, do foreign trade—each step precisely on a gold mine, but ultimately only inheriting the family business

❌ Avoid falling into the trap of being a "high-cognition poor"

1. Pretending to practice "unity of knowledge and action," but actually doing foolish things "without knowing"

Old Uncle's clothing store, stamp trading, and foreign trade are all trendy and profitable opportunities, with "news" absolutely ahead of the curve, and Old Uncle's action ability is also 100 points. The problem is, Old Uncle doesn't do proper research; he hears the news + feels it's right, and then invests real money. Relying on news and gut feeling to play in the crypto world is definitely not rare

2. Drop the sense of superiority from high cognition, and don't overly intervene in others' causality

Don't create a "Bodhisattva-style" persona for yourself; intervening in others' causes will inevitably lead to unwarranted effects. Don't judge/change/save others

3. Kill perfectionism, get your hands dirty, and take off the long gown

Old Uncle refuses to change his novels for traffic because that's not his profession. The reality is, to compete for traffic and resources, you must let go of your stance (referencing Hmm Huh) — completing is more important than perfection

4. Anti-fragile view of money

Investing 100,000 in small pinhole eyes, leveraging to trade stamps, shows Old Uncle has no risk management at all

The correct configuration is an anti-fragile system, reducing downside risk (clothing store), while amplifying upside potential (stamps). In investment terms, this is the "barbell strategy"—majority in risk assets + safe assets, reducing the pursuit of stability with "medium risk"
