#数字货币市场洞察 Some time ago, I had dinner with a senior who has achieved financial freedom.
He said something that left a deep impression on me: If you truly understood everything about someone, you wouldn't simply envy them anymore.
Most people's lives are actually quite similar—glamorous on the surface, but messy behind the scenes. Every way of living is exchanging something for something else.
You see him driving a million-dollar luxury car, posting profit screenshots on social media. But no one tells you: to catch that market trend, he stared at the charts until 3 or 4 a.m. for months on end, suffering multiple bouts of gastritis; his family complains that all he sees are candlestick charts, and he can't even hear his child calling him; every night in bed, he's worried about what will happen if his market judgment is wrong.
This senior is himself an example. He entered the market in his twenties and barely slept well for over a decade. His phone is on 24/7, always ready to respond to sudden market moves and handle all kinds of trouble.
His assets have grown, and he's financially free. But he knows very well: those things that make others envious were exchanged bit by bit for his health, family life, and personal time.
So what he really meant was—
You think you want "the results others have now," but in reality, you probably can't handle "the price they've paid to get there."
Don't just drool over the results—first ask yourself if you can withstand the process. Behind every seemingly enviable lifestyle, there's a whole set of hidden bills you can't see.
Social platforms and interviews always show the best side. No one talks about anxiety, insomnia, arguments, and breakdowns.

To be honest, the idea of financial freedom sounds appealing, but in reality, it's just trading your life for money.

That's so true. Anyone can appear financially free just by showing screenshots, but no one shows their sleepless nights or their losses.

To put it bluntly, it's trading your life for money. It may seem free, but in reality, you're being held hostage by watching the market.

Yeah, that's true. Just looking at the screenshots can be exciting, but if you actually ask them what time they go to bed in the middle of the night, it's not so appealing anymore.
