The only way to accumulate wealth is through trading things. Right now I trade my time and knowledge in my trade for wages. It's slow but steady and I'm paid well. Eventually, when I am paid even higher wages and I have greater disposable income, I will practice trading in a market economy by trading stocks, bonds, EFTs and cryptocurrency. It's a difficult, tedious thing to do and it carries great risk. But life is full of risks.
