"I just need to make 10 million dollars to escape the permanent underclass" It wouldn't work that way. There wouldn't be a random cutoff number where you "make it" or "don't make it" The additional money would just buy you a little more time before you become underclass, too In the 'underclass model', people assume - Those with more capital have access to AI that lets them compound their wealth faster than people with less money You wouldn't get access to the best of the best financial tooling at 10m, 50m or even 100m People with more capital would always be compounding their wealth faster than you. The difference between you and them would always be increasing And eventually the guy with 100m will be so far behind the people at the top that he's underclass, too If things move as fast as these 'underclass' believers think - that takes what, like 12 months? 18? If this whole underclass meme is the reason you're ruining your life to do e-commerce for 100 hours daily, you should consider that, and maybe start enjoying life again

@taifuunoyume I also don't think dealflow is the issue here either It would be ability to train better models, which does appear to be pretty directly related to capital
