Why the crypto market is the best arena for developing personal skills

1/ Many people define "super individuals" as solo teams, AI-generated content creators, or self-employed upgrade versions. But if you truly survive the entire crypto cycle, you'll realize that it's not just a type of job identity, but a complete personal system—including thinking skills, stress resistance, and self-iteration capabilities.

2/ Navigating the crypto world allows for rapid decision-making experience. Extreme market volatility, intense information bombardment, and constant cognitive overturning—all these shape your reaction and judgment skills. Over a full cycle, your understanding of risk, opportunity, and human nature will undergo a qualitative leap.

Enduring a bull and bear cycle truly changes a person, not just the account balance, but also waking up the mind --- The repetitive face-slapping process in the crypto world is actually the fastest forward button for growth --- That's right, it's more effective than reading a hundred books --- Wait, doesn't this logic work the other way around? Most people lose everything in crypto --- I just want to ask, can this system be cashed out? Haha --- I respect the ability to endure the cycle; not everyone can handle the psychological shock of a plunge --- It sounds quite reasonable, but it also feels like survivor bias speaking --- That's why people in the crypto world and outside the circle have completely different ways of thinking --- As for the cognitive overhaul part, really, every market reversal forces you to upgrade your brain

Getting through a full cycle really makes a difference, and that kind of mental transformation is hard to put into words. The crypto world is an accelerator; either you wake up or you get pushed out. Talking about super individuals, it's just a truth learned through being beaten by the market over and over again. After one cycle, the understanding of human nature... well, you could say it's a bloody lesson. True ability isn't about how much you earn, but the details of how you survive. This kind of experience can't be learned in an MBA; you have to get beaten here.

Really, those who survive in the crypto world have all become experts; mental resilience isn't something you can just boast about. After a bear market, your skin gets thicker. What's there to talk about job status? Just surviving is winning. After one cycle, it feels like I've lived ten years. This kind of tempering is truly valuable. The biggest gain in the crypto world is learning to cut losses; it's more effective than any course. Looking at people in other industries making decisions now, they seem too conservative and can't keep up with this pace. People who have lost a lot of money are truly different from those who haven't experienced it; this is an unavoidable lesson.

After a cycle in the crypto market, it really can shape a person differently. Those who have endured multiple liquidation events are no longer afraid of any storms. Honestly, it's more intense than any MBA course.

Only after enduring a full cycle do you understand what true cultivation is; everything else is nonsense. --- The crypto world is the cruelest psychological test, not a tool for making money. --- To put it nicely, it's actually losses that turn people into super individuals, haha. --- Stress resistance is indeed built through experience; a 50% account drawdown is more effective than any course. --- This theory sounds comfortable, but what I really want to ask is whether you are still in the crypto world now. --- One cycle has taught me: never trust your own judgment. --- Instead of talking about capability systems, it's better to say that the crypto world is a sieve; those who survive are naturally "super." --- So essentially, it's just survivor bias; most people are just background noise. --- Cognitive reversals ten or eight times, and my principal has almost been overturned too.

Enduring a full cycle can truly transform a person, I totally agree with that. But to be honest, most people give up before even enduring. The crypto world is just a testing ground; it's either death or survival, that's all. You're right, resilience is the core. Making money is secondary. At first, I thought the crypto world was just gambling, but I later realized that the valuable lessons learned during the losing process are much more important. The term "super individual" has been overused in the past two years, but your perspective is good; it's indeed more of a system than an identity.
