From net asset fluctuations of two digits daily to being hung up on over 80 calls in a single day—these years of experience have taught me one truth.

Don’t think about finding shortcuts. The real life accelerator is choosing the hardest path to walk. No exceptions.

Persisting with the hard way may seem like the dumbest choice. But in reality? It’s the only true fast track.

If I hadn't been greedy for speed back then, things would be better now. My net assets are stable, but it's a bit boring. Making 80 calls a day is really exhausting. If I had known, I wouldn't have taken the hard way. It's easy to say, but who doesn't want to take shortcuts... I just can't keep going.

From the data performance, this "hard way" argument has an incentive incompatibility problem, specifically—survivor bias is a confirmed fact. It is worth noting that a two-digit fluctuation in net assets essentially reflects high risk tolerance, but this does not equal the optimal path. Similar logical flaws have also been seen in governance proposals. According to the economic model in the white paper, this kind of argument lacks game equilibrium analysis.

Over 80 calls a day, this guy really pushed himself to the limit. The hard way definitely has no shortcuts, but sometimes you also have to ask if it's worth it.

Sounds like survival of the fittest, huh? Making over 80 calls a day must be pretty hardcore.

80 calls a day? Bro, this isn't the hard way, this is the torturous way.

Haha, over 80 calls a day—doesn't that also represent another form of financial freedom? Being needed is being recognized. Three years ago, I used to stare at K-line charts until my eyes blurred. Now I understand that the hard way really has no shortcuts—this is not just motivational talk. Honestly, being called so many times shows that your value is being recognized. The days of losses have actually become the best period of self-cultivation.

Hung up over 80 times... Bro, that sounds pretty rough. Hard way sounds right, but not everyone can withstand that process. When your net worth fluctuates by double digits, do you still keep going? Honestly.

Getting called over 80 times in a day... Man, how much pressure can you handle? That's really not something an average person can bear.

More than 80 calls a day? Haha, sounds like you're being chased for debt... but then again, there's really no shortcut. The hard way is easy to say, but sticking with it really makes you want to vomit blood. However, it's also how you survive, right? I was very touched by the period when net assets fluctuated in the double digits... Looking back now, that was actually tuition fees.
