as they likely understand that they are deliberately accusing people for merit or other personal gain.

I agree with the view that we need to treat them with respect, and should not insult or use harsh language towards them. But I don't think it's necessary to pay them high salaries or become too close to them. We need to maintain a certain distance, because being too lenient or too friendly can easily lead to being looked down on instead. In the workplace, establishing clear boundaries between superiors and subordinates, as well as between employers and employees, to avoid unnecessary troubles.

We don't need to pay them high salaries, we just need to pay them a salary that is commensurate with their dedication and effort. There is no guarantee that paying high salaries will secure their loyalty. Sometimes, this can even lead to them becoming complacent or having an inflated sense of their own abilities.

I don't want to disappoint you, but here's another fact, Bitcoin reached $69k in 2021, and compared to the 2025 ATH of $126k. Bitcoin has only increased by about 82% over the past four years, and this is not an attractive return for a risky asset. This shows that Bitcoin is very volatile and our profits will depend on the entry price. Additionally, don't forget the four-year cycle of the market, and if history repeats itself, next year will be a bear market.

Therefore, we shouldn't be overconfident and assume that simply buying Bitcoin at the beginning of the year will double our profits by year’s end. Bitcoin tends to appreciate in the long term, but its short and medium term movements are unpredictable.

More specifically, Bitcoin only increased by about 82% during this cycle, and compared to previous cycles, this is one of the worst growth cycles. Similarly, historically, 2025 was projected to be a year of strong growth, similar to 2017 and 2021. However, ironically, it ended with a negative growth rate of 6.33%.
I also find it confusing that many people say 2025 will be a great year.
