Why do many people experience overnight wealth only to gradually decline afterward?



It's not that their luck has run out—it's that they can no longer see themselves clearly.

When money comes too fast, it doesn't bring confidence as much as it brings illusions: "I'm the chosen one." "I'm the type of person who deserves to be rich." "I earned this money because I have sharp vision and real talent."

When things are going well, people attribute all success to themselves; when things go poorly, they blame the market, whales, or fate.

But the truth is, most of the time, that money wasn't "earned"—it was "caught." You just happened to be in the right place at the right time when luck struck you.

But once people start getting carried away, they believe everything they do is correct.

Win a few contract trades in a row, and suddenly they're willing to go all-in; a shitcoin pumps a few times, and they think it's backed by conviction; make money by borrowing, and they forget that interest is burning every single day.

So the saying goes: "Money earned through luck will ultimately be lost through lack of skill. Your actual ability will return you to where you truly belong."
