Based on the analysis of the BaZi of CZ and Brother Sun, what actions do you need to take in order to get rich in the cryptocurrency circle?

Life is determined by fate, luck, and feng shui. The amount of wealth one can master in this life is actually predetermined. The world is a huge I Ching simulator, and the theory of Eastern metaphysics has been passed down for thousands of years and is still used by many experts today, which certainly has its reasons. Wall Street has spent a couple of hundred years summarizing the "Stock Market Barometer," while the I Ching theory, with nearly 3000 years of history, has become a classic, forming a barometer for life.
How can we make a vivid analogy between the I Ching and web3? The Four Pillars and Eight Characters are similar to the fundamentals of a project; a person's facial features, palm lines, and complexion are akin to secondary K-line patterns; the living environment, ancestral home feng shui, and magnetic fields are similar to the macro environment. A good fundamental, combined with a bullish market pattern and a favorable macro environment, results in the best risk-reward ratio. The author believes that the I Ching is a classic yet innovative investment philosophy and methodology.
This article analyzes from the perspective of destiny and does not interpret from other angles.
1. The Concept of Wealth Storage
First, let's talk about the concept of burial storage. Wealth storage, as the name suggests, is a source of continuous wealth flowing out from the storage. To rise from scratch to wealth levels of A8, A9, or even higher, most people have a built-in storage in their Eight Characters that serves as their useful god; wealth luck can provide opportunities for making money, while wealth storage allows you to traverse cycles.
Many practitioners in the crypto space have significant unrealized gains during bull markets but completely lose liquidity in bear markets, which is the result of lacking storage. Achieving significant wealth freedom requires continuously crossing cycles and making successive leaps in destiny. Practitioners who survive one or two rounds of bull and bear markets, as long as their storage is their useful god, are likely to have good capital reserves.
In the Eight Characters, the storage is represented by the Earthly Branches of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, which are four burial storages, all associated with Earth. Chen is the burial storage for Water and Wood, Xu is for Earth, Fire, and Metal, Chou is for Water and Metal, and Wei is for Wood and Fire.
If Water is the wealth star and is very strong, it sees Chen and Chou entering storage.
If Earth is the wealth star and is very strong, it sees Xu and Chen entering storage.
If Fire is the wealth star and is very strong, it sees Xu and Wei entering storage.
If Metal is the wealth star and is very strong, it sees Chou and Xu entering storage.
If Wood is the wealth star and is very strong, it sees Chen and Wei entering storage.
Typically, the position of storage is best in the Day Pillar or Hour Pillar. If there is no storage, having storage in the luck cycle or annual cycle can also complete the cycle reserve.

Due to the complexity and non-user-friendliness of the Four Pillars and Eight Characters, the above conclusions are simplified for the reader's quick understanding of their combinations and the concept of burial storage. The actual situation is much more complex than the above conclusions.
2. Analyzing Wealth Levels from Eight Character Combinations
The concepts of strong and weak bodies mainly depend on the Month Stem, which is likely to be strong if it is a Companion or Resource. It is also necessary to look at other types of combinations. The following diagram provides a score chart for the strength and weakness of an Eight Character combination, scoring based on actual conditions to distinguish between strong and weak bodies (excluding special patterns).
The strength and weakness of the body are calculated based on scores, with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches being: Companion, Robbery, Proper Resource, and Improper Resource. All can score, and a score of 44 or higher indicates a strong body; otherwise, it is weak. (Hidden stems are not calculated.)
The above table is for reference only; the actual situation is much more complex than the conclusions above. For levels above A11, we can look at two typical Web3 celebrity cases: CZ and Sun Ge.
CZ:
With a Geng Metal Day Master, a strong body and weak wealth, and no storage, why does he have the appearance of great wealth and nobility? If you study the Four Pillars and Eight Characters further, you will find that the official killing can be viewed as wealth, which is a higher level of wealth. The strong presence of Metal and Fire, with a pure pattern, represents a top-tier configuration. The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are all in three meetings and three combinations, which usually means energy is not easily wasted internally, allowing more energy to develop platforms and integrate resources.
Binance's real rise was after 2018, which coincided with CZ entering a Jia Chen luck cycle and a Wu Xu annual cycle; the Chen and Xu clash opened the Fire and Metal storage, while CZ's original configuration was full of Metal and Fire. The Companion and Official Killing opened the storage, symbolizing not only that his business was expanding but also that he could retain all the wealth, marking a very high-level key annual cycle. Since Earth represents Resource, opening the storage also means that CZ's mental state and pressure would be accompanied by emo.
In 2021, the Xin Chou year, the Si You Chou three combinations formed a Metal pattern, and the Companion storage was opened again. The Companion can symbolize "siblings," which for Web3 entrepreneurs means "ecosystem." BNB's peak was indeed in this year.
In 2024, the Jia Chen year, with Chen Chen self-punishing, the energy of the Resource is dozens of times that of the past, which may be the most emo year in the last decade, with the Jia Chen year coinciding with the luck cycle (repeating). The Resource is strong and drains the Official Killing, which represents wealth, platform, and career. Recent events have also confirmed this symbolism. As long as CZ can endure and cross the cycle, the subsequent trends should not be too bad.
Sun Ge:
With a Bing Fire Day Master, a weak body and a Companion (fake Companion pattern), he has his own wealth storage. In 2013, he entered the Bing Xu luck cycle, which allowed Sun Ge's pattern to become a true weak Companion, and from weak to strong can be viewed as strong. The pattern of exhausting the Official Killing is also a very top-level wealth-generating pattern.
Unlike CZ's approach to wealth, the pattern of exhausting the Official Killing usually gains massive wealth through "skills," tactics, and speculation. A heavy characteristic of the Official Killing pattern is "contrarian" and "aggressive"; if you say A, he does B; if you do B, he pulls C; viewing the Official Killing as wealth is also a sign of great wealth and nobility.
One characteristic of the pattern is extreme volatility; in good luck cycles, it can be ten times smooth sailing; in bad luck cycles, the adversity is ten times that of ordinary people. The difference between Sun Ge and CZ is that assuming a Companion pattern is viewed as a weak body, they may have high aspirations but low capabilities, chasing trends or becoming trends every day; CZ, with a strong body, focuses on managing his own territory. Different Eight Character patterns present completely opposite ways of handling affairs; character determines destiny, and Eight Characters determine character.
From 2013 to 2022, during the Bing Xu luck cycle, Xu represents Earth storage, and the Chou and Wei clash opens the wealth storage and Official Killing storage; Sun Ge's ten years were almost in a state of "cheat mode," from graduating from university, starting a business, entering the crypto space, to acquiring Huobi with a huge sum, which is a ceiling that ordinary people find hard to surpass in a lifetime. The characteristic of the pattern is that reaching a good luck cycle is equivalent to adding a hundredfold leverage.
Sun Ge has his own Chou Earth wealth storage; as long as the wealth star enters storage, the state will have some characteristics of "Pi Xiu," being able to earn and retain wealth is an important investment skill. CZ's configuration is full of Official Killing and Robbery, representing a situation of being both rich and noble; Sun Ge's Official Killing generates wealth, usually being rich but not noble; the different patterns of Eight Characters work towards wealth, but the characteristics presented are different.
From 2023 to 2032, during the Ding Hai luck cycle, the Official Killing storage cycle ends, with Water being Sun Ge's Official Killing. The Official Killing sees the Official Killing penetrating the stems, which can be termed "bear market fluctuations" for Sun Ge. Whether Sun Ge can maintain A11 depends on how he defends during this luck cycle; the headwinds in Web3 are not so easy to navigate. The Official Killing for a Companion pattern means internal consumption; although there is wealth, the Official Killing can also symbolize "debt." The business is expanding, but profits may be shrinking.
In 2024, the Jia Chen year, the luck cycle of Hai Zi Chou forms Water, and the annual cycle of Shen Zi Chen forms a combination of Water, which is destined to be an internal consumption battle between Official Killing and Official Resource; the recent incidents of lost coins at Huobi occurred only after the luck cycle changed in 2023. Perhaps in recent years, acquiring Huobi was the most glorious moment for Sun Ge. In a headwind situation, how to retain and pass on wealth is a necessary lesson for big players.
Sun Ge's later years in the Ji Chou luck cycle are quite good; Ji Chou is also a coinciding luck cycle for the original configuration, but for the Companion pattern, it is favorable and does not have too much negative impact. At least wealth can continue to achieve successive leaps during this cycle.
3. What Kind of Eight Characters are Suitable for Trading
Shen Yu has a widely circulated classic viewpoint: "The crypto space compensates for character and cognition"; I personally agree. Eight Characters determine character, and character determines destiny. What kind of Eight Characters are suitable for making money in web3? Below, I will summarize them one by one.
First, let's take a look at the representations of different Ten Gods in the Eight Characters:
The ten Ten Gods in the above Eight Characters form a personality profile, which can be nested into the personality formula based on one's own Eight Characters. The crypto space amplifies the good and evil of human nature; describing the world as an I Ching simulator is not an exaggeration.
Now let's look at Sun Ge's Eight Characters. Sun Ge is actually a "genius" trader. The Official Killing represents skills, the Improper Wealth represents imaginative wealth, and the Proper Official represents self-restraint. A good trader (investor) needs excellent investment skills (Official Killing) + imagination for the industry (Improper Wealth) + thinking and restraint regarding odds (Proper Official). His investment and trading abilities are absolutely top-notch; trading and investing are not fundamentally different; both are compensations for one's character, and the rest relies on luck.
Sun Ge's combination generates wealth from Official Killing, but this does not mean that only this type is suitable for trading. Trading is not everything in web3, but a person's life is essentially a series of trades. We are trading "resources" with our limited "life." Knowing oneself and the opponent, and finding one's own alpha is the correct approach.
4. What Kind of Eight Character Combinations are Related to Metaphysics
The above summary covers most of the wealth accumulation methods in the crypto space. Knowing what kind of character you have and what you are good at is essential.
5. What Kind of Eight Character Combinations are Related to Metaphysics
Typically, Eight Characters with strong Earth and Resource patterns have a deeper connection to metaphysics. Many Web3-type public chain projects have such combinations, such as Ethereum, Kas, etc.; Earth can give rise to all things, and strong Earth can support more ecosystems, ideologies, and everything that can be "programmed" in the new world. To some extent, isn't Ethereum also a "religious organization"?
Regarding how to use the Four Pillars and Eight Characters to analyze the "technical patterns" of Web3 projects, this article does not delve into it. In the future, I will have the opportunity to share a simple and practical article on using the I Ching as a metaphysical technical indicator to analyze the symbolism and trends of Web3 projects.
6. Conclusion
If there is no wealth storage, there is no need to worry; luck cycles can also compensate; even if there is no wealth storage in the luck cycle, feng shui can also solve the problems of storage and wealth. How to build one's own wealth storage in terms of feng shui energy is not within the scope of this article, but I will share simple and practical techniques for wealth storage in the future.
There is no perfect character, nor is there a perfect Eight Character. The crypto space is an accelerated version of the I Ching simulator. Finding a path that suits you and seeking your own alpha is essential. The success stories of big players can be listened to but not imitated; the path to their success was set by God for them, and they also crossed the river by feeling the stones. The time has come for a turn of fortune; now you also need to explore your own alpha.
