Many people think that successful investors rely on some secret formula or Wall Street theories. Actually, that's not the case.
Charlie Munger's investment career tells us another truth: true competitiveness comes from continuously iterating one's way of thinking. A phrase he often repeats is—"Always look for better mental models." It sounds simple, but implementing it requires extreme greed.
What are multiple mental models? In plain terms, it means you need to master core logic from various fields such as physics, psychology, economics, history, and more, rather than just knowing one set. Someone who only understands finance might be at a loss when market fluctuations occur; but someone who also understands human nature, systems theory, and probability can see through many investment traps.
The same applies to crypto asset investing. Many chase hot trends or look at candlestick charts, only to end up losing everything. But those who make long-term profits often understand how to evaluate a project from multiple dimensions—technical architecture, economic incentives, community ecology, regulatory trends, and more. This is the power of multiple mental models in practical application.
Munger's core investment principle is simply this: use richer, more profound thinking frameworks to understand the world. The more perspectives, the fewer mistakes.

It's easy to say, but few people truly practice diverse thinking.
They constantly call for learning economics and psychology, but aren't they just being harvested by short-term fluctuations?
Munger's set of theories is indeed solid, but the environment in the crypto circle tests people's mentality even more.
Those who lose money chasing trends on the candlestick charts are actually lacking not thinking models, but self-discipline.

Munger's approach really hits home, but the reality is that most people still only look at candlestick charts and are too lazy to think so much.

Munger's approach sounds good, but how many people can truly persist in thinking multidimensionally? Most are still driven by emotions and short-term gains, and in the end, they end up losing out.

Seeing articles like this again at 3 a.m... They're not wrong, but how many can truly analyze DEX liquidity depth, slippage, and spreads simultaneously? Most still only look at candlesticks and go all in, which is why market efficiency never reaches the theoretical value.

That's correct, but to be honest, most of the people chasing the trend don't understand this.

Munger's theory sounds appealing, but the number of people who can truly implement it is probably few... Just watching the K-line while holding coins is exhausting enough, who still has the energy to learn physics, psychology, and economics?

Munger's theory sounds reasonable, but very few people are truly capable of thinking in multiple dimensions. In the crypto world, even more so, most people are still just watching the ups and downs.

Munger's theory doesn't sound very new; frankly, it's just about not being fooled by tricks.
The real issue is that knowing these things is worlds apart from actually doing them. Most people are still destined to be the ones harvesting the chives.

There's nothing wrong with that, but very few people can actually do it. Most are still just chasing K-line patterns to cut leeks.

Munger, I've already practiced this in the crypto circle. People chasing the hot trends are now reflecting.
