Let's be real about what 2026 is gonna look like for most of us.
First, we're grinding harder for income. Whether it's side hustles, career moves, or crypto positions that finally pay off—the money conversation is hitting different. People aren't settling anymore.
Second, self-investment is no longer optional. Courses, skills, fitness, mental health—we're dropping more serious cash into ourselves because we know that's the real wealth multiplier.
Third, asset accumulation is the new normal. Real estate, crypto holdings, stocks, alternative investments—the goal isn't just having money, it's converting it into assets that work 24/7. Building wealth while you sleep isn't just a meme anymore.
And here's the part that hits hardest: it's not just about personal wins. Setting up your family for the next decade? That's the real flex. Whether it's insurance, education funds, or passing down financial knowledge—generational thinking is becoming mainstream.

Asset tokenization is the way to go; the dream of passive income is finally becoming a reality.

Listen, I agree with the idea of asset accumulation, but to be honest, most people are still worried about their monthly living expenses. Where would they get the extra money for self-investment... Only those who can outpace inflation deserve to talk about these things.

ngl, this article is really true. By 2026, it's either compete or be eliminated. I'm currently juggling three things: working overtime, creating content for social media, and accumulating coins, just waiting for the market to take off.

Sounds good, but is it incentive-compatible? I agree with self-investment, but the narrative of assets growing 24/7... Many people in history have lost everything because of this belief. The key still depends on the mechanism design itself; don't just talk about beautiful visions.
