"Rare and precious goods hinder one’s travel."
(難得之貨, 令人行妨)
1. Nan-De-Zhi-Huo (難得之貨)
English: Rare and hard-to-get treasures (Digital Gold).
Context: This refers to assets like BTC, where extreme scarcity and "Digital Gold" narratives drive prices to billions, making them a "precious hoard" rather than a usable tool.
2. Ling-Ren-Xing-Fang
(令人行妨)
English: Cause people’s travel (circulation/transactions) to be hindered.
Context: When an asset becomes too "precious" or "heavy" (high fees), it stops moving. It blocks the "travel" of data and value across the network, paralyzing the very flow that a peer-to-peer electronic cash system was meant to enable.
