🛸Value creates money, but when systems—massive nodes—hoard liquidity in echo chambers, they disconnect from the majority who sustain them. Owning 100% of everything while starving customers is unsustainable. To save the system, money must flow into new nodes and branches, growing economic dendrites to restore balance.

It seems that for me, if I choose to be a survivalist individualist person, genuinely based on hardships and effort in trading, then I follow the Chinese way. If I want to be a narcissist who doesn't feel how those poor people feel in the streets every day, making fun of others and using freedom of speech as justification at the expense of respect for others, then U.S. ideologies are better for me. It seems that the Chinese way represents real trading for me; it is based on efforts and hardships, not on control, vendor lock-in, narcissistic reputability, and brands.
