To truly make big money, you need assets that can generate continuous cash flow. This is the ultimate secret weapon of capitalists.

Many people believe a lie: as long as you work hard enough, you can earn a lot of money. The reality is often harsh—you've already set a ceiling on your income with your chosen earning model.

**The path of the office worker** is essentially selling time. No matter how hard you work, there are only 24 hours in a day, and your salary cap is determined by the nature of your job. Even with a substantial monthly salary, most of the value you generate flows to your boss.

**Entrepreneurs take a different route**. Building a team, leveraging others' time and abilities to make money—this can indeed raise your income ceiling. But there's still a bottleneck.

**The true players are capitalists**. They invest capital and continuously earn profits through asset allocation. Some are even smarter, adopting a light-asset operation model, generating excess returns through investment portfolios.

Now, capital is no longer scarce; business opportunities are everywhere. The key is to learn how to make money work for you, rather than always working for money.

Well said, but the problem is that most people don't even have their first startup capital.

You're right, cash flow is king. But then again, how many ordinary people can really build sustainable cash flow? --- It's the same old argument, but I think you need capital to play the capital game. Without a few million, it's really hard to do... --- Working a job indeed has a low ceiling, but if you ask me, many entrepreneurs haven't made money and are even more exhausted. Light assets sound easy but are hard to implement in practice. --- Isn't this just about investing? The problem is, where do ordinary people get the money to invest and earn cash flow? Do they all have to rely on leverage borrowing? --- I agree with the path of asset allocation, but this theory might still be a bit distant for ordinary people. You need to have capital first.

Laughing to death, this is why I talk cross-talk in the crypto circle every day—no assets in hand, can only generate cash flow with my words --- Secret weapon of capitalists? Bro, my secret weapon is sitting in the Telegram group telling jokes every day, waiting for project teams to blow up --- Ha, is capital no longer scarce now? Then why am I still selling time? Do I have a problem with my approach? --- Everyone wants to be a capitalist in a bull market, and in a bear market, everyone reboots—this is the true picture of the crypto circle --- Let money work for you, sounds good, but the premise is that you have money, bro. I only have dreams here --- So is the key to asset allocation? I only allocate various air coins, does that count as assets?

That's true, but the reality is that most people can't even take the first step... Capital definitely has a threshold.

That's correct, but the real challenge is how to start from zero and accumulate that initial capital. Many people get stuck here. Saving money from a monthly salary to invest takes such a long cycle that it can be a bit hopeless... The issue isn't with awareness, but with execution and timing.

To be honest, cash flow is king, and passive income is the key to freedom. Instead of working 996, it's better to let your assets help you print money.

Sounds good, but in reality, most people can't even take the first step correctly. Honestly, passive income sounds great. But to build it? You need capital, brother. The dream of earning passively is indeed just a dream. Capital is truly the game rule. But this theory is still too idealistic for us retail investors. Talking about cash flow, assets, and light assets every day—at the end of the day, you still need money. Where does the capital come from if you have no money? That's why ordinary people can never catch up—the rules are designed this way.
