If you immerse yourself in the crypto industry for 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. Nowadays, 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 achieve self-growth.
This is the 'super individual': a person can cycle coherently between content, transactions, and entrepreneurship, and can even use AI as their cognitive assistant. They are both producers and investors, and can even be constructors of narratives.
In the traditional world, this is a relatively low probability event.
But in 2025, where AI and cryptocurrency technologies converge, this is gradually becoming a reality.
AI + Crypto: Individuals finally possess 'system power'.
Looking back at history, every technological evolution changes the way individuals and organizations interact. The combination of AI and cryptocurrency technology is one of the rare moments that allows 'ordinary people' to achieve systematic enhancement.
AI liberates cognition and creation, such as writing articles, generating code, and analyzing the market. It allows you to no longer rely on internal knowledge collaboration within companies, but instead always have a think tank of thousands.
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 form a positive feedback loop: AI improves efficiency, and Crypto amplifies results.
Imagine a person learning crypto knowledge, writing, and coding with AI assistance, while also having their own on-chain wallet and conducting investment transactions. At this point, they no longer need to rely on any organization to maintain their own creativity; this is the prototype of a super individual.
Three realistic paths: KOL, project teams, crypto enthusiasts.
Becoming a super individual does not have a fixed template, but three typical paths can be summarized from current practices.

First, the first path is KOLs, that is, content creators.
Many people underestimate the friendliness of Web3 towards creators. Top influencers can leverage their own influence to pry into project resources, capital quotas, and even their own platforms.
Especially after the 'KOL cycle' has become the norm, projects will actively allocate part of their quotas to top KOLs. The reason is that for project teams, KOLs are trusted centers that can directly reach target users and shape emotions. For content creators, the KOL cycle is a way to participate early in the primary market and a channel for redeeming influence.
The support of AI is turning the continuous production of high-quality content from 'hard work' into 'systematic'. The underlying ability of a KOL is evolving from simple industry insights to mastering AI for in-depth research, rapid writing, and even multi-format distribution—a 'cognitive enhancement' workflow.
However, the growth path of KOLs is not easy; the more they express, the greater the responsibility they bear. Any judgment error may simultaneously damage their own earnings and reputation. This is also why truly sustainable KOLs share three common traits: continuous and stable content production ability, sensitivity to industry cycles, and a clear understanding of their own credit boundaries.
In Web3, attention is a factor of production, and it is in such an environment that KOLs have the underlying conditions to become 'super individuals', occupying an irreplaceable position in the market structure through cognition and expression.
Second, the second path is project teams, that is, Web3 entrepreneurs.
If content creators leverage cognition to pry into resources, then the core of entrepreneurs is problem-solving. With the assistance of AI, this construction is becoming unprecedentedly efficient: work that previously required coordination among multiple roles like design, development, and operations can now be led and completed by an individual who is adept at using AI.
In reality, successful entrepreneurs are often 'multi-talented,' but more accurately, they are efficient 'AI collaborators': they must understand product logic and capital flow, as well as be able to handle community consensus; they can use AI to assist in market analysis and content production, and also drive development tools through prompts to independently complete early MVP implementations from prototype design, smart contracts to front-end deployment.
Compared to traditional entrepreneurship, the uncertainty in Web3 is higher, but the freedom is also greater. The proliferation of AI further lowers the startup threshold and cooperation costs, making one-person companies not only possible but also a preferred path for many super individuals to achieve rapid initial accumulation.
Third, the third path is traders, crypto enthusiasts.
Trading is the method closest to the pulse of the market. Excellent traders in the past relied on experience, market feel, and manual review, while today's iterative direction is to convert strategic thoughts into executable code. Even if they do not understand coding, traders can describe their trading logic (e.g., 'When a certain indicator crosses upward and a large whale enters, notify me') to AI using natural language and have AI generate executable monitoring scripts or trading tools.
This greatly liberates repetitive operations and focuses on strategic evolution. On this basis, traders can more efficiently output opinions, manage communities, or provide data services, thereby building a composite advantage that goes beyond mere buying and selling.
Regardless of which path you take, practical experience is key; any empty talk is less effective than grounded operation. Super individuals need 'a self-driven system'. KOLs need to continue creating, entrepreneurs need to keep developing, traders need to keep trading, and each step must be tested and evolved through practice.
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.

Content productivity: Producing quality content is the basic means to amplify personal influence. It is not just a traffic tool but also a form of influence currency. Content that can leave lasting assets often clearly expresses viewpoints, whether short posts, long articles, or tutorials, and can become amplifiers of cognition.
On-chain perception: Whale movements, DEX depth, address portraits, and protocol income changes are all preemptive signals before market sentiment has fermented. Even if you don’t need to become a data analyst, you should at least be able to proficiently use Dune, DefiLlama, and Etherscan to establish your own on-chain dashboard and form information advantages.
AI collaboration: In today's world where AI has become infrastructure, the boundaries of a person are already determined by tools. Effectively using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Cursor, and integrating them into processes like content creation, project analysis, and product prototyping is the only way to accomplish tasks that previously required team collaboration at a minimal cost.
Independent judgment: The truly difficult part is not obtaining information, but making judgments. The more signals are rampant in Web3, the more independent judgment becomes the dividing line for super individuals. It is 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 manifests in many small details: Do you regularly organize your opinions? Do you have a dollar-cost averaging principle? Can you decisively cut losses when you realize you're wrong? Can you remain rational amidst FOMO? In other words, it requires the ability to continuously review and constantly correct, rather than jumping in just because someone says 'this is the next big thing'.
Therefore, the true super individual is not the one with the most tools but the one who first integrates tools into a system. They will organize Telegram announcements daily using AI, write automated scripts with Cursor to track airdrop opportunities, and build dashboards on Dune to track project heat. It may seem like one person, but in reality, an invisible full-stack team stands behind them.
How to acquire core capabilities? Taking Vibe Coding as an example.
For the vast majority of ordinary people, having development capabilities sounds like a distant skill. However, in the AI era, writing code is no longer the only path to creation.
Vibe Coding provides another path; you only 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 nearly every step. So how to 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 stages:
First, register accounts for tools: GitHub, Vercel, Google account, then install the Antigravity software.
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 project files, write front-end code, and set up a rough page. However, sometimes you also need to help it debug, such as figuring out what's wrong with the page, adding new features, changing logic, etc.
Once the application development is nearly done, 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. Deploying online only requires visiting the Vercel website, importing the GitHub project just created, and then having AI prompt you to fill in necessary environment variables before clicking Deploy.
Vibe Coding is actually teaching those with no coding foundation to use AI tools to complete the construction of a minimum viable product. In the past, creating a digital product meant a lot of learning, trial and error, assembling teams, and outsourcing. Now, one person and one computer can get it done. And this ability to go from 'demand to implementation' is the moat for future super individuals.
KOL perspectives.
Teacher Pan Zhixiong has published multiple articles and tutorials on Vibe Coding, considering 'self-drive' as a prerequisite for becoming a super individual. He emphasizes that Vibe Coding is not just the patent of experts, nor is it the self-indulgence of novices, but a path suitable for everyone who is unwilling to settle and insists on self-drive.
In Xiao Maoge's view, a 'super individual' refers to ordinary people who reconstruct sovereignty in the era of AI + Crypto. The core is mastering AI's productivity and the financial sovereignty that wallets bring. He proposed five stages based on experiences from the crypto circle, including awakening, balance, autonomy, compounding, and infinite games. Wealth is merely a byproduct; the real product is 'self-evolution.'
Teddy believes that AI + Crypto is realizing true grounding; everyone can be a KOL, and everyone can develop. Previously, only professional investment research KOLs could write such content, but now even newcomers can use AI to write a serious investment research article; previously, only programmers could create products, but now with Vibe Coding, even novices can launch an official website.
Feng Mi believes that super individuals are those who control the rhythm of their own lives. True freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but rather not doing anything you don’t want to do. He transitioned from a professional manager to Web3 content creation, choosing a 'extremely simple and boring' lifestyle, accumulating freedom through creation and compounding, thus becoming a super individual. He emphasizes: 'Repeat simple things, persist in repeating things.'
Star presented a very clear leverage comparison: 'The leverage of entering a big company is AI, while the leverage of becoming a super individual is Crypto.' He emphasized that Crypto allows individuals to conduct global transactions priced in US dollars, achieving geographical arbitrage; at the same time, through staking USDC and farming, one can easily obtain considerable returns, lowering the FIRE threshold.
Wang Xiaolou believes that the real challenge is becoming a 'super individual' in the 'AI + Crypto' era. He shared his content creation process: inputting content through public accounts, Twitter, and community, then processing it with Youmind and NotebookLM, and finally outputting it as articles, posts, and videos, forming a closed-loop self-driven workflow.
Although these KOLs have different starting points, the consensus is very clear: super individuals are not extraordinarily gifted people, but ordinary people who can continuously create, actively use tools, and drive themselves in uncertainty for long-term compounding.
Conclusion.
In this market, most people succumb to anxiety.
In a bull market, fear of missing out; in a bear market, fear of losses. When the market is good, they hesitate to increase their positions; when the market is bad, they hesitate to exit.
Between rises and falls, the mindset is always being pulled. The root of anxiety lies in the fact that you are merely a 'value holder' rather than a 'value creator'.
The way to break through is to become value itself. To become a super individual, make good use of AI, and create value. Your sense of security will ultimately come from the value you can create, not from the floating numbers in your account.
After all, whether you like it or not, AI reshapes productivity and Web3 reconstructs production relationships, which is an irreversible trend. Embracing change is the only solution.
