Most people will never build generational wealth. Not because they lack intelligence, opportunity, or resources. But because they're playing the wrong game entirely.
They play finite games—games with clear endings, winners, and losers. Get the promotion. Hit the number. Beat the market this quarter. When the game ends, they start another finite game, forever chasing temporary victories.
"The goal isn't to win this quarter. It's to still be in the game in 20 years. In 50 years. In 100 years."
The infinite game is different. There's no winning—only continuing to play. The objective isn't to beat anyone; it's to perpetuate the game itself. To build something that outlasts you.
The Three Shifts
Moving from finite to infinite thinking requires three fundamental shifts:
- Survival before profit. You can't compound if you're out of the game. Capital preservation isn't cowardice—it's wisdom.
- Process over outcomes. You can't control results. You can control your decisions. Build systems that work regardless of luck.
- Generations over quarters. What will your great-grandchildren inherit? Not just money—values, knowledge, opportunities.
This is why we built Casa Ascendente. Not as another crypto newsletter or investment club, but as a house. A legacy vehicle. Something designed to compound across generations...
