If you immerse yourself in the crypto industry long enough, you will notice a fundamental trend change: individuals are replacing institutions and becoming the core link in value creation.
Once, giants and institutions decided the allocation of resources. Today, a Twitter account, a set of strategic systems, and a group of followers who trust you are enough for a person to break free from the platform's feeding and grow independently.
This is the 'super individual': a person can cycle seamlessly between content, trading, and entrepreneurship, even using AI as their cognitive auxiliary brain. They are both producers and investors, and can even be narrative builders.
In the traditional world, this is a low-probability event. But in the 2025 where AI and encryption technology intersect, this is gradually becoming a reality.
1. AI + Crypto: Individuals have for the first time gained 'system power.'
Looking back at history, every technological evolution changes how individuals and organizations interact. The combination of AI and encryption technology is one of the rare moments that allows 'ordinary people' to gain systemic improvement.
AI liberates cognition and creation, such as writing articles, generating code, and analyzing markets. It allows you to no longer rely on internal knowledge collaboration within a company but to have a thousand-person think tank at any time.
Crypto liberates assets and identities, such as on-chain wallets, cross-chain transfers, and permissionless transactions, making it easier to have financial sovereignty.
More importantly, these two create a positive feedback loop: AI increases efficiency, and Crypto amplifies results.
Imagine a person who can use AI to assist in learning about encryption knowledge, writing, and programming, while also having their own on-chain wallet and engaging in investment trading. At this point, they no longer need to rely on any organization to maintain their own creativity; this is the embryonic form of a super individual.
Second, three practical paths: KOLs, project parties, and traders.
Becoming a super individual has no fixed template, but three typical paths can be summarized from current practices.
1. The first path is KOLs, that is, content creators.
Many underestimate the friendliness of Web3 towards creators. Influential individuals can leverage their impact to pry open project resources and capital amounts, even their own platforms. Especially after the 'KOL round' becomes the norm, projects will actively allocate some funds to top KOLs. The reason is that for project teams, KOLs are trust centers that can directly reach target users and shape sentiment. For content creators, the KOL round is a way to participate early in the primary market, a channel for monetizing influence.
Moreover, the support of AI is transforming the continuous output of high-quality content from a 'hard labor' into a 'system.' The underlying capability of a KOL is evolving from simple industry insight to a 'cognitive enhancement' workflow that harnesses AI for in-depth research, rapid writing, and even multi-format distribution.
However, the growth path of KOLs is not easy; the more they express, the greater the responsibility they bear. Any judgment error can simultaneously damage their earnings and reputation. This is why truly sustainable KOLs have three common traits: continuous and stable content production capability, sensitivity to industry cycles, and a clear grasp of their own credit boundaries.
In Web3, attention is a factor of production, and it is under such an environment that KOLs possess the foundational conditions to become 'super individuals,' relying on cognition and expression to occupy an irreplaceable position in the market structure.
2. The second path is the project party, that is, Web3 entrepreneurs.
If content creators leverage cognition to pry open resources, then the core of entrepreneurs lies in solving problems. With the support of AI, this construction is becoming unprecedentedly efficient: work that previously required coordinating designers, developers, and operators can now be led and completed by an individual who makes good use of AI.
In reality, successful entrepreneurs are often 'multifaceted,' but more accurately, they are efficient 'AI collaborators': they must understand product logic and funding rhythms while being able to manage community consensus; they can use AI to assist in market analysis and content production, and also drive development tools through prompts, independently completing everything from prototype design and smart contracts to early MVP deployment.
Compared to traditional entrepreneurship, Web3 has higher uncertainty but also greater freedom. The proliferation of AI further lowers the startup threshold and collaborative costs, making one-person companies not only possible but also a preferred path for many super individuals to achieve rapid primitive accumulation.
3. The third path is traders, cryptocurrency speculators.
Trading is the closest way to tap into the pulse of the market. Excellent traders in the past relied on experience, intuition, and manual reviews, while today’s iteration is to convert strategy ideas into code implementation. Even if they do not understand code, traders can use Vibe Coding to describe their trading logic to AI in natural language (e.g., 'When a certain indicator crosses golden and a whale moves into the chain, alert me') and have AI generate executable monitoring scripts or trading tools.
This greatly liberates repetitive operations, allowing for a focus on strategy evolution. On this basis, traders can output viewpoints, manage communities, or provide data services more efficiently, thus building a compound advantage that transcends simple buying and selling.
Regardless of the path taken, practical experience is key; any empty talk is inferior to actionable steps. Super individuals need a 'self-driven system.' KOLs need to continuously create, entrepreneurs need to keep developing, traders need to trade consistently, with each step verified and evolved through practice.
Three, the core capabilities of Web3 super individuals.
Becoming a super individual requires support from multidimensional capabilities, among which content productivity, on-chain perception, AI collaboration, and independent judgment are the most critical.
1. Content productivity: Outputting high-quality content is the basic means to amplify personal influence. It is not just a traffic tool, but a form of currency for influence. Content that can truly leave a lasting asset often clearly expresses viewpoints, whether short tweets, long articles, or tutorials, all of which can become amplifiers of cognition.
2. On-chain perception: Whale dynamics, DEX depth, address profiling, and protocol revenue changes are all precursory signals before market sentiment ferments. Even if one does not need to become a data analyst, at least they should be proficient in using Dune, DefiLlama, and Etherscan to establish their own on-chain dashboard and create an information advantage.
3. AI collaboration: In today's world where AI has become infrastructure, an individual's boundaries have long been defined by tools. Making good use of AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, etc., and integrating them into content creation, project analysis, product prototyping, and other processes makes it possible to accomplish work that previously required team collaboration at a very low cost.
4. Independent judgment: The real difficulty lies not in obtaining information but in making judgments. The more signals flood in Web3, the more independent judgment becomes a dividing line for super individuals. It’s best to establish your own complete value judgment system: What do you believe in? How do you make decisions? How do you evaluate projects? How do you face losses?
In practice, this judgment is reflected in many small details: Do you regularly organize your views? Do you have regular investment principles? Can you decisively cut losses when you realize a mistake? Can you remain rational amid FOMO? In other words, you need to continuously review and correct, rather than just blindly follow someone saying, 'This is the top coin.'
Therefore, the true super individual is not the one with the most tools, but the one who integrates tools into a system the earliest. They will use AI every day to organize Telegram announcements, write automated scripts with Cursor to track airdrop opportunities, and build dashboards in Dune to track project popularity. It seems like one person, but behind them stands an invisible full-stack team.
Fourth, how to acquire core capabilities? Taking Vibe Coding as an example.
For the vast majority of ordinary people, having development skills sounds like a distant capability. But in the AI era, writing code is no longer the only way to create.
Vibe Coding provides another path; you just need to 'speak human language' and let AI execute the construction for you. This method not only has a very low threshold but also has AI assistance at almost every step. So how can you use Gemini 3 Pro + Antigravity to build an application from scratch to full network release in two hours? The entire process can be roughly divided into several phases.
1. First, register tool accounts: GitHub, Vercel, Google account, then install Antigravity software.
2. Next is the formal Vibe Coding process. You can directly tell AI, 'I want to create an application that organizes TG information flow,' and AI will automatically generate the project files, write front-end code, and set up a rough page. However, sometimes you will also need to help it debug, such as identifying where the page is incorrect, needing new features, or changing logic, etc.
3. When the application development is nearly complete, the next step is to upload the code. You can input the command, 'Help me upload the current code to GitHub and create a new repository,' and AI will complete the operation in the background. To deploy the application online, simply visit the Vercel website, import the GitHub project just created, and then AI will prompt you to fill in the necessary environment variables and click Deploy.
Vibe Coding actually teaches people with no coding background to use AI tools to complete the construction of the minimum viable product. In the past, creating a digital product meant a lot of learning, repeated trial and error, forming teams, and outsourcing. Now, with just one person and one computer, it can be done. This ability to go from 'demand to execution' is the future moat of super individuals.
Five, KOL viewpoints.
Zhixiong Pan @nake13 published several articles and tutorials on Vibe Coding, viewing 'self-drive' as a prerequisite for becoming a super individual. He emphasized that Vibe Coding is not just the domain of experts nor the self-indulgence of beginners, but a path suitable for everyone who is unwilling to settle and insists on self-drive.
In Xiao Maoge's @porounclemao view, 'super individuals' refer to ordinary people who reconstruct sovereignty in the AI + Crypto era. The core lies in mastering the productivity of AI and the financial sovereignty brought by wallets. He proposed five stages based on experiences in the cryptocurrency circle, including awakening, balance, autonomy, compounding, and infinite games. Wealth is merely a by-product; the real product is 'self-evolution.'
Teddy @DeFiTeddy2020 believes that AI + Crypto is realizing true landing, everyone can be KOL, everyone can develop. Content that only professional investment research KOLs could write before can now be legitimately written by newcomers with the help of AI; products that only programmers could create before can now be launched by novices with Vibe Coding.
Feng Mi @丰密 believes that super individuals are those who control the rhythm of their lives. True freedom is not about doing whatever you want but being able to avoid doing anything you don't want to do. He transitioned from a professional manager to Web3 content creation, choosing an 'extremely simple and monotonous' life rhythm, accumulating freedom through creation and compounding, becoming a super individual. He emphasizes, 'Repeat simple things and persist in doing repetitive things.'
Star @starzq proposed a very clear leverage comparison: 'The leverage for entering big companies is AI, while the leverage for becoming a super individual is Crypto.' He emphasized that Crypto allows individuals to conduct global transactions valued in dollars, achieving geographical arbitrage; at the same time, by staking U and farming, considerable yields can be easily obtained, lowering the FIRE threshold.
@wang_xiaolou believes that the real challenge is to become a 'super individual' in the 'AI + Crypto' era. He shared his content creation process: inputting content through WeChat public accounts, Twitter, and community, then processing it with Youmind and NotebookLM, and finally outputting it as articles, tweets, and videos, forming a closed-loop self-driven workflow.
Although these KOL perspectives start from different points, the consensus is very clear: super individuals are not those with extraordinary talent, but ordinary people who can continuously create, actively use tools, and self-drive in uncertainty for long-term compounding.
Six, conclusion.
In this market, most people are defeated by anxiety.
In a bull market, there is fear of missing out, while in a bear market, there is fear of losses. When the market is good, one dares not increase positions, and when the market is bad, one dares not exit. Between the ups and downs, the mindset is always pulled. The root of anxiety lies in being a 'value holder' rather than a 'value creator.'
The way to break through is to become value itself. Becoming a super individual means making good use of AI to create value. Your sense of security will ultimately come from the value you can create, rather than the fluctuating numbers in your account.
After all, whether you like it or not, the trend of AI reshaping productivity and Web3 reconstructing production relationships is an irreversible trend. Embracing change is the only solution.
