Ask yourself why you're in a hurry to make millions. In trading circles, especially on CT the sense of urgency is palpable. Everyone wants to make it overnight. There’s this frantic energy, an obsession with speed. Most don’t even question it. But they should. Because the worst enemy of wealth is the feeling of rush. Rushing destroys your edge. It clouds judgment. It forces trades that didn’t need to happen, risks that didn’t need to be taken. It’s the reason so many traders roundtrip life-changing gains back to zero, not because they lacked intelligence or information, but because they couldn’t sit still. But the real question isn’t what rushing does. The real question is: why are you rushing in the first place? Have you actually stopped to ask yourself that? What changes if you made the money tomorrow? What specific, tangible, life-altering event happens the moment the wire hits? For most people, the honest answer is: not much. You’d still be here. You’d still wake up the same person, with the same mental habits, logging into the same apps. If anything, you’d now feel pressure to grow or protect that wealth, without having built the temperament or structure to support it. Which means the rush isn’t rational. It’s emotional. It’s fueled by social comparison, ego, and the illusion that speed equals superiority. But in markets, speed often just means sloppiness. The irony is that once you realize there’s no real rush, you gain access to the most important asset a trader can have: patience. Patience is what lets you wait for high-conviction setups. It’s what keeps you out of the noise. It’s what gives you the discipline to stay flat when the market is baiting you into overtrading. It’s what lets you preserve energy and capital while others burn out. Still don’t believe the rush is an illusion? Just look at the accounts that have already made millions. They’re still here. Still showing up every day. Still posting, trading, watching. If there really was a finish line, wouldn’t they be gone? But they’re not, because once you make it, you realize nothing fundamentally changes. You don’t transcend the game. You just keep playing it, but with less desperation. That fact alone should tell you everything: the rush was never real. It was just a feeling you hadn’t interrogated yet. So the next time you feel the itch to act quickly, stop and ask: What am I really rushing toward? Because once you realize there's no finish line, you can finally afford to slow down. And that’s when you start making real money.
It feels like we're spending money on luxury, yet only purchasing what we need to get by. This isn't just about inflation anymore; it's about corporations doing it because they can.

Enchat is a tool for private communication with encryption. Its key features include no accounts, strong AES-256 encryption, and the creation of unique temporary keys for each session.

The tool offers secure file sharing up to 5 MB, anonymity via Tor and cross-platform compatibility. Encryption occurs on users' devices, ensuring the security of the content. Enchat is compatible with Python 3.6 and above and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, though it is recommended to use strong passphrases and set up your own servers for added security.
