👇 One of the phrases I hear most often in the crypto space:

"Can you really make money by sticking to your principles?"
Or
"Only people without a bottom line can get rich; if you have too many principles, you can't make money."
Basically, it's just that kind of nonsense.

Are the people who say this seriously okay?
Is there really no one in this world who can make money through "normal and reasonable" means?
I know the probability is relatively low, but just because it's low doesn't mean it's zero, right?

Take the crypto space as an example:
There are people who made money by buying ETH or BTC spot early on, people who made money trading in the secondary market, people who made money by developing amazing products that solve real problems (and their products don’t even need to issue tokens), and so on.

Although these examples make up a small percentage of the total number of people in crypto, you still can't count them all on dozens of hands, right? Not everyone has to make money by running Ponzi schemes, collaborating with project teams to scam people, or stealing wallets/phishing, okay?
