Find Your Natural Path.

"If a person can gain insight into their innate intuition for certain patterns or skills, they can gain an unparalleled advantage over others when engaging in similar activities." — From Waller's "Cognitive Laws"
If you are in the cryptocurrency space, you are likely chasing some grand goals: financial freedom, meaning in life, or perhaps a lasting brand. But most people tacitly believe that the only way to achieve these goals is through trading.
What if this assumption is fundamentally flawed?
You Might Be Playing Someone Else's Game
The cryptocurrency world is noisy.
From Telegram channels to Twitter posts, to Discord groups, you are expected to absorb all information, act quickly, and then somehow achieve great success. But this multi-tasking does not bring clarity; it only leads to confusion. Information overload is often disguised as insight.
In a field lacking structure, pursuing multiple goals simultaneously may actually hinder your mastery of any one of them. Most people feel they must stare at the order book all day, but what if your true advantage lies elsewhere?
I Once Wanted to Be a Forward
When I first joined the school soccer team, I was determined to be a forward. I yearned to score goals and even daydreamed about it all day. But after three training sessions, the coach moved me to a defensive position. I was angry and went to question him about it. He calmly explained that I had a broad vision, quick reflexes, and could time my tackles well. I initially disliked this position, but after three matches, I gradually adapted and even began to enjoy it. Over time, I became an indispensable part of the team, and we worked together more cohesively, winning more matches.
It was then that I realized: sometimes your value is not where you expect it to be. But once you recognize it and fully commit, everything changes.
The Advantages You Overlook
Everyone wants to be the trader who turns $100 into $10 million. But perhaps you should stop and ask yourself, "What am I naturally good at?"
Maybe you are:
A communicator
An artist
A researcher
A developer
A UI/UX designer
A marketer
A cybersecurity analyst
A strategist
An entertainer
Or perhaps you possess innate soft skills:
Leadership
Organizational skills
Pattern recognition
Social affinity
Sharp intuition
These are not secondary skills; they are core competencies. Because in the decentralized, creative, and rapidly changing ecosystem of cryptocurrency, they can directly translate into influence.
Specifically:
Artists can design PFPs, NFTs, and banners;
Marketers can create attention and narratives;
Researchers can write tweets, discover trends, and break down complex problems;
Accountants can become wallet detectives and asset managers;
Developers can create tools, be hired, or independently develop projects;
UI/UX experts can design decentralized applications (dApps), dashboards, and user flows;
Entertainers can run live streams, expand influence, and lead culture.
In the cryptocurrency space, almost all real-world skills can find their place. The sooner you recognize your skills, the clearer your path forward will be.
Even Traders Need Specialization
We cannot overlook trading. But even in the trading field, successful individuals are not generalists; they are specialists. The path to finding your trading advantage typically looks like this:
You try all areas — from meme coins to perpetual contracts;
You keep failing;
You notice sporadic moments of clarity or success;
You double down in those areas that feel natural.
Then a niche begins to emerge:
Some trade daily popular meme coins;
Some track capital inflows;
Some keep a close eye on smart wallets (wallet addresses with excellent trading strategies);
Some only trade tech-related tokens;
Some build trading systems around hype cycles.
Each style requires experimentation, feedback, and pattern recognition. And your true advantage often reveals itself after you experience the worst consecutive losses. You just need to pay attention.
Refining and Compounding After Recognizing Advantages
Your advantages typically exist on three levels:
Trading level
Building level
Social level
Trading Level
You have a keen insight into narratives, can spot patterns early, excel at technical analysis, scouting, identifying capital inflows, or planning exit strategies. You understand entry, exit, and gradual reduction, acting swiftly. At this level, belief + skill = advantage.
Building Level
You are a developer, designer, or manager, understand on-chain mechanisms, can quickly build websites, tools, videos, or dashboards, possess organizational skills, and know how to lead teams and deliver results. At this level, structure + product = advantage.
Social Level
You are a communicator, express clearly and entertainingly, can attract an audience, simplify complex matters, build community, understand the attention economy, and know how to harness it. At this level, energy + information delivery = advantage.
The more layers you compound, the more irreplaceable you become.
Compound Skills, Not Jump Around Frequently, But Don't Stagnate
While many people have innate skills across these three levels, the most successful individuals stand out because they can learn new skills and add them to their existing skill set.
I am not saying you should frequently jump fields, but being complacent in your comfort zone will limit your full potential.
A person skilled in communication who learns trading can express their views to a broader audience (trading + social = influence);
A builder who understands the social aspect and spends time studying the art of marketing can effectively promote products and penetrate the market; exposure is key (building + social = widely used products/tokens);
A trader who understands the complexities of building knows what the market needs and can create exactly that (trading + building = better products).
Ultimately, those who master these three levels will become powerful and irreplaceable participants in the cryptocurrency market (trading + building + social = top level).
Those who excel in all three levels often reach the pinnacle of their cryptocurrency careers. They are not rare and are not hard to find; in fact, they are the most watched group of people.
They have large followings, establish alpha groups (private groups sharing insider information), launch trading products, and are active in every field. They still provide trading signals, express views clearly, and can do it all.
This process takes time and effort, but the opportunities it brings are limitless.
Where to Start?
Start with action.
Work for free. Exposure is more important than perfection. Join a team and speak up. Design banners, create videos, build simple websites. If you excel at trading or scouting, share your insights and findings without expecting anything in return. Skilled and generous individuals will always be noticed.
Publish more content. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Your views are just as important as anyone else's. If fear of public embarrassment holds you back, remember this: someone always needs to hear what you have to say.
Apply for Web3-related jobs. If you have professional skills, apply to join teams and protocol projects. You will be surprised to find that once you enter this field, even small teams will open many doors for you.
Provide value everywhere. Deliver effective information, share insights, impart knowledge, and help others selflessly. Value will eventually return.
Don’t scam or play tricks. This may seem profitable at first, but it will quickly destroy trust. You are not looking for a moment of fame; you want to last. Act like someone who will still be active in this field five years from now.
Conclusion
Find what you are naturally good at, refine it, and then layer new skills on top of it. Not to show off, but to expand your advantages. There is more than one way to win this game. You already have the "cheat code" within you; make good use of it.
