Everyone must pay attention now; the speed of wealth accumulation has become extremely terrifying.


The cruelest gap has never been between the rich and the poor, but the disparity in the speed of wealth accumulation.
The previous generation, working in timber, hardware, gas stations, factories, and trade, could reach a billion yuan, with many taking 20 or 30 years to slowly build it up.
In the internet era, it’s faster—one product, one traffic entry point, one platform dividend, could generate a billion in 10 years.
But in the AI and cryptocurrency generation, the rules have changed again.
No long-term accumulation, no need for deep physical cultivation—an early startup can reach a valuation of hundreds of billions or trillions in just two or three years.
Anthropic’s most direct example: in 2023, its valuation was over 12k USD, and now there are rumors of financing negotiations, with valuations approaching 900 billion USD, and the implied on-chain valuation soaring to 1.2 trillion USD;
OpenAI’s funding has increased, with a post-investment valuation of 852 billion USD, as giants scramble to enter.
Tech giants are spending money without hesitation: Google and Microsoft’s annual capital expenditure is 190 billion USD, Amazon’s is 200 billion, and Meta’s is 145 billion.
The domestic AI track is equally crazy: the same applies domestically. Zhipu’s current market value is about 52.8 billion USD, MiniMax about 32.1 billion USD;
DeepSeek’s first round of financing is rumored to be close to 45 billion USD; Kimi’s new round of financing is 2 billion USD, with a post-investment valuation surpassing 20 billion USD, and in less than half a year, financing has exceeded 3.9 billion USD.
The brutal truth is in front of us: wealth is rapidly concentrating into the tech track.
Many ordinary people are still head down, selling their time and cheap labor, clinging to the unchanged model of working for a fixed salary.
Don’t misunderstand—this isn’t about blindly starting a business, blindly trading cryptocurrencies, or blindly following AI stocks.
The core message is: don’t simply see yourself as a tool.
If you don’t know coding, use AI for automation and efficiency; if you don’t understand technology, leverage AI to optimize your work; if you lack capital, connect your cognition, information, and workflows to AI leverage.
Those who can’t understand the trend will ultimately be ruthlessly left behind by the times.
