What kind of dirty work is more valuable? Any job that expands your network of connections to the outside world, or adds to your particular skill set, even if it's tiring and risky, will increase your value. And those isolated closed, low technical content, high repetitive work, should try to avoid.
If you are older than 50 years old, this amount of money should be able to easily cover the next 20 to 30 years of living expenses. For younger people, the amount of money will be relatively small. But be sure to calmly self-examine, write a written plan, draw a red line for yourself, and strictly isolate this part of the sacred and inviolable funds.
In terms of output cost and efficiency, writing (including writing code) is a great way to increase productivity. For example, if you used to write something, only 100 people read it, now you can have 1 million people read it, and the efficiency has increased by 10,000 times. But how do you get more people to see it? One trick is not to discuss superficial phenomena (such as price fluctuations), but to dig deeper into the underlying mechanisms. The appearance becomes obsolete after a few days, but if the underlying mechanism is really understood, it will repeat itself countless times.
I currently think the three most valuable ways to get dopamine are: exercise, meditation, and reading.
There were once institutional funds that were almost liquidated in the fall of March 2020, but continued to gamble, and later made more money, so they adhered to this radical strategy, so that in the fall of June 2022, there was no doubt that they were completely cleared.
Some valuable lessons need to be experienced over a considerable time span before they suddenly dawned on you. Many traps appear to be very lively for a short time, with various small profits, and then sudden death due to uncontrollable risks, but the losers either disappear or are too shy to summarize and spread the lessons of their failure (or because many interested parties are still around and do not want to broadcast them publicly), so the things are covered up
It doesn't matter how amazing the returns are, how small the risks are. Then out of responsibility for themselves, they should not invest their wealth
Inexperienced people keep asking experienced people to explain why, just as a person desperately wants a chatgpt to explain how it thinks to solve a problem. You can break the casserole all you want, but you can't sum it up in a sentence or two.
