There is a very practical principle: within the boundaries of the rules, you should do your best to win. This is actually a common secret among many successful people — not crossing the bottom line, but also not giving up any reasonable opportunity. Whether trading, investing, or doing anything else, the same applies: understand the rules, respect the rules, and then maximize everything you can do within the framework of the rules. This way of thinking is worth learning.

Yeah, that's right. Winning within the rules is the way to go. But to be honest, very few people truly understand the rules. I'm just worried that some people say they respect the rules but then turn around and cause trouble. How do you view those who push the boundaries? This theory sounds nice, but the key is how to define "rules" and "bottom line." Sometimes, rules are defined by those in power, you know? Especially in the crypto world, where rules are changing every day, it can be dizzying to keep up.

The self-portrait of the winner in the rules' involution, nothing wrong with what was said

Within the rule framework, doing everything to the extreme is correct— but the key is that many people simply don't truly understand the rules. Just like audit vulnerabilities, it's not that the code intentionally breaks the bottom line, but rather that a lack of deep understanding of details like permission control and integer overflow results in these being exploited as entry points. Therefore, the real winners are not just those who know the rules, but those who master them thoroughly.

The king of rule over-competition, this is the winning mindset. --- Exactly, you just need to know which pitfalls to avoid. --- Dancing in the gray area is the real skill, isn't it? --- This set of logic is most popular in the crypto circle; compliant arbitrage never goes out of style. --- People who understand the rules have already made money; anyway, I am still studying. --- As long as it's not illegal or against regulations, go all out. I like it straightforward and simple. --- The key is to clearly understand the boundaries of the rules; many people fail at this step. --- Investing is the same; only by fully understanding the game rules can you survive.

The most intense internal competition in the rules can actually lead to the biggest victory

Rules are meant to be used, not to be avoided. Within the framework, competing for top scores—that's the self-cultivation of top players. No matter how eloquently it's said, it all comes down to who actually does it. Once the bottom line is clear, there's nothing to be afraid of; go all out when it's time. People who understand the rules make money; those who pretend to be noble just chat. Web3 is essentially this logic—exploiting compliance loopholes is still possible. Not breaking the bottom line but squeezing out the exploitation space—that sounds simple, but doing it is an art. The secret to success is being one step ahead in exploiting rule loopholes. Pushing the rules framework to the extreme—I agree with that.
