Wealth Is What You Own — Not What You Carry
Money is not wealth.
Let's repeat that: Money is not wealth.
True wealth is the ability to produce, control, or access resources.
Owning land is wealth.Having skills that are in demand is wealth.Controlling a business that generates cash flow is wealth.Creating something valuable that people want is wealth.
Money is simply a representation of wealth.
It's like a scoreboard in a basketball game. The scoreboard shows the points, but it isn't the actual game.
Imagine a basketball team that only cares about changing the numbers on the scoreboard instead of actually playing the game.
That's what most people do with money.
They chase it without understanding that it's not the end goal — it's just a tool.
The rich don't chase money. They chase assets.
They focus on owning the game, not just scoring points.
How Chasing Money Keeps You Poor
This is the dirty secret of the system:
If they can keep you chasing money, they can keep you working forever.
Most people are taught to:
Work for money.Save money.Hope it grows over time.
But inflation eats away at savings.
Banks loan out your deposits and make massive profits — giving you tiny interest scraps.
Governments print more money, devaluing what you hold.
It's a rigged game.
If you trade your time for money, you are on a treadmill.
Run faster, work harder — you still stay in the same place.
Wealthy people don't run on the treadmill.
They own the treadmill — and charge you to use it.
They understand that real wealth is:
Ownership of assets that grow.Ownership of systems that produce income.Ownership of intellectual property, ideas, and brands.
If you own the system, you don't have to chase the tokens.
