... is not a secret.
For a financially savvy person it is not a secret, but for many people who have a vague idea about finances, it is a secret.
Everything is relative, my other one.
Even bitcoin for many, decades later, remains a "secret" financial instrument. Practically inaccessible.
- Do your job. Innovate, produce, make money.
- Trade your fiat currency for the scarcest asset.
- Hold the scarcest asset.
No one who is sensible will store "wealth" in money, because it is not a tool for "preserving" wealth, but for exchanging "value".
A scarce asset (resource) can be anything. Be it a piece of land, one of Stradivarius' violins, a share (stock) of a technology (and other) company.
But within the framework of communication on this forum, of course, bitcoin is voiced.
That's it. It's all about delayed gratification. The hardest part is to actually hold it. Bitcoin has an addressable market cap hundreds of trillions of dollars worth more than it currently does. Don't be the guy who traded it with a 99% discount.
This is not difficult if you allocate "free" funds for exchange for a scarce asset, and not the last, or even worse, borrowed money. Well, and of course, moderate your "appetite" for spending on all sorts of useless nonsense.
It amazes me how difficult it is for some people to grasp that.
Here we have the influence of the "noise" of the consumer society, generated by companies to "pull" money out of people. A banal redistribution of resources. If many begin to increase their own wealth, then corporations will not receive this wealth.
That is, the propaganda of consumption is cultivated in society, which is difficult for people to get rid of. And without this, they can't move to the next level of "awareness" of how to get rich, which precedes the correct strategy for increasing wealth.
