Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsAuthor: Viee, Amelia – Core Contributors of Biteye
If you've spent enough time in the crypto industry, you'll notice a fundamental shift: individuals are replacing institutions as the core drivers of value creation.
Once upon a time, giants and institutions dictated resource allocation. Today, a Twitter account, a strategy system, and a group of followers who trust you can enable someone to break free from platform dependency and grow independently.
This is the "super individual": one person who can sustain a self-reinforcing cycle across content, trading, and entrepreneurship—potentially using AI as a cognitive co-processor. They are simultaneously creators, investors, and even architects of narratives.
In the traditional world, this was highly improbable.
But in 2025, at the intersection of AI and cryptographic technology, it's gradually becoming reality.
01 AI + Crypto: For the First Time, Individuals Gain "Systemic Power"
Looking back, every technological leap has reshaped the balance between individuals and organizations. The convergence of AI and crypto is among the rare moments that systematically empower ordinary people.
AI liberates cognition and creativity—writing articles, generating code, analyzing markets—freeing you from reliance on internal corporate knowledge systems and giving you instant access to an intellectual force equivalent to thousands.
Crypto liberates assets and identity—on-chain wallets, cross-chain transfers, permissionless transactions—making financial sovereignty more accessible.
More importantly, these two forces create a positive feedback loop: AI increases efficiency; crypto amplifies results.
Imagine someone using AI to learn crypto knowledge, write, and code, while also managing their own wallet and investment activities. Such a person no longer needs to rely on any organization to sustain their creative output—this is the prototype of a super individual.
02 Three Realistic Paths: KOLs, Founders, Traders
Becoming a super individual doesn't follow a fixed blueprint, but current practices reveal three typical paths.
1. The first path: KOLs (content creators)
Many underestimate how Web3 empowers creators. Top influencers can leverage their reach to unlock project allocations, capital, and even build their own platforms.
Especially now that "KOL rounds" have become standard practice, projects proactively allocate portions of tokens to leading KOLs. For projects, KOLs serve as trusted hubs capable of directly reaching target users and shaping sentiment. For content creators, KOL rounds represent early access to primary markets—an avenue for monetizing influence.
With AI support, consistently producing high-quality content is shifting from grueling effort to systematic workflow. A KOL’s core competency is evolving beyond mere industry insight into an enhanced cognitive workflow powered by AI—enabling deep research, rapid writing, and multi-format distribution.
However, the KOL path isn’t easy. The more you express, the greater the responsibility. Any misjudgment risks damaging both reputation and income. That’s why truly sustainable KOLs share three traits: consistent content output, sensitivity to market cycles, and clear awareness of personal credibility boundaries.
In Web3, attention is a productive asset. It's precisely in this environment that KOLs gain the foundational conditions to become "super individuals"—securing irreplaceable positions in the market through cognition and expression.
2. The second path: Founders (Web3 entrepreneurs)
If content creators mobilize resources through insight, entrepreneurs create value by solving problems. With AI assistance, this process has become unprecedentedly efficient: tasks that once required coordination among designers, developers, and operators can now be led by a single AI-savvy individual.
In reality, successful founders are often "jacks-of-all-trades," but more accurately, they're effective "AI collaborators." They understand product logic and funding rhythms, manage community consensus, use AI for market analysis and content generation, and employ prompts to drive development tools—single-handedly completing early MVPs from prototype design and smart contracts to front-end deployment.
Compared to traditional startups, Web3 ventures face higher uncertainty but offer greater freedom. As AI becomes widespread, startup barriers and collaboration costs drop further, making solo companies not only feasible but also a preferred route for many super individuals seeking rapid initial accumulation.
3. The third path: Traders ("coin speculators")
Trading is the most direct way to feel market pulses. Historically, top traders relied on experience, intuition, and manual reviews. Today’s evolution lies in translating trading strategies into executable code. Even without coding skills, traders can use Vibe Coding to describe their logic in natural language (e.g., “notify me when indicator shows golden cross and whales deposit funds”) and let AI generate monitoring scripts or trading tools.
This dramatically reduces repetitive work, allowing focus on strategy refinement. Based on this foundation, traders can efficiently share insights, manage communities, or provide data services—building compound advantages beyond simple buying and selling.
Regardless of the path, real-world execution is key. Empty talk pales next to hands-on action. Super individuals need "a self-driven system": KOLs must keep creating, founders must keep building, traders must keep trading—each step validated and evolved through practice.
03 Core Competencies of Web3 Super Individuals
Becoming a super individual requires multidimensional capabilities, with content productivity, on-chain perception, AI collaboration, and independent judgment being most critical.
1. Content Productivity: Producing quality content is fundamental to amplifying personal influence. It's not just a traffic tool—it's a currency of influence. Truly lasting content clearly expresses perspectives, whether short posts, long-form essays, or tutorials, acting as cognitive amplifiers.
2. On-Chain Perception: Whale movements, DEX depth, address profiling, protocol revenue changes—these are early signals before market sentiment fully forms. Even if you’re not a data analyst, you should master tools like Dune, DefiLlama, and Etherscan to build your own on-chain dashboard and gain informational edge.
3. AI Collaboration: In an era where AI is infrastructure, one's limits are defined by tools. Skillfully integrating AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor into workflows for content creation, project analysis, and product prototyping enables solo performers to achieve what previously required teams—at minimal cost.
4. Independent Judgment: The hardest part isn’t acquiring information—it’s making decisions. In the signal-saturated world of Web3, independent judgment separates true super individuals. Develop a coherent value framework: What do you believe in? How do you make decisions? How do you evaluate projects? Handle losses?
In practice, this judgment manifests in small details: Do you regularly organize your views? Have a dollar-cost averaging principle? Cut losses decisively when wrong? Stay rational amid FOMO? In short, continuous review and correction—not blindly jumping in because someone says “this is the top gem.”
Thus, real super individuals aren’t those with the most tools, but those who earliest integrate them into a cohesive system. They use AI daily to parse Telegram announcements, write automation scripts in Cursor to track airdrop opportunities, build dashboards in Dune to monitor project热度. Seemingly alone, yet backed by an invisible full-stack team.
04 How to Acquire Core Skills? A Case Study Using Vibe Coding
For most people, coding seems like a distant skill. But in the AI era, writing code is no longer the only path to creation.
Vibe Coding offers an alternative—you only need to "speak human language," letting AI execute the build. This approach has extremely low entry barriers, with AI support at nearly every step. Here’s how to build and launch an app entirely using Gemini 3 Pro + Antigravity within two hours. The rough process includes several stages:
1. First, register necessary accounts: GitHub, Vercel, Google, then install the Antigravity software.
2. Begin the actual Vibe Coding phase. Simply tell the AI: “I want to build a TG feed curation app.” The AI will automatically generate project files, write front-end code, and set up a basic interface. Sometimes you’ll need to assist debugging—fixing layout issues, adding features, adjusting logic, etc.
3. Once development is mostly complete, upload the code by instructing: “Help me push current code to GitHub and create a new repository.” The AI handles backend operations. To deploy, go to Vercel, import the GitHub project, follow AI prompts to fill environment variables, then click Deploy.
Vibe Coding teaches zero-code beginners to use AI tools to build minimum viable products. In the past, creating digital products meant extensive learning, trial-and-error, team assembly, outsourcing. Now, one person with one laptop can do it all. This ability—from idea to execution—is the future moat of super individuals.
05 KOL Perspectives
Zhixiong Pan @nake13 published multiple articles and tutorials on Vibe Coding, viewing "self-motivation" as the prerequisite for becoming a super individual. He emphasizes that Vibe Coding isn't reserved for experts nor mere hype for beginners—it's a path suited for anyone dissatisfied with the status quo and committed to self-driven growth.
According to Xiao Maoge @porounclemao, a "super individual" is an ordinary person reclaiming sovereignty in the AI + Crypto era. The essence lies in mastering AI-powered productivity and financial sovereignty via wallets. He outlines five stages derived from crypto experience: awakening, balance, autonomy, compounding, infinite game. Wealth is merely a byproduct; true outcome is "self-evolution."
Teddy @DeFiTeddy2020 believes AI+Crypto is becoming truly accessible—everyone can be a KOL, everyone can develop. Content once exclusive to professional analysts can now be written decently by newcomers using AI; products once limited to programmers can now see novices launching official websites via Vibe Coding.
Fengmi @KuiGas sees super individuals as those controlling their life tempo. True freedom isn't doing whatever you want, but having the right to refuse what you don't want. Transitioning from corporate executive to Web3 content creator, he chose an "extremely simple and dull" lifestyle, accumulating freedom through creation and compounding—becoming a super individual. He stresses: "Do simple things repeatedly; persistently do repetitive things."
Star @starzq presents a clear leverage comparison: "The leverage of joining big tech is AI; the leverage of being a super individual is Crypto." He highlights that Crypto allows individuals to engage in global transactions priced in USD, enabling geographic arbitrage. Additionally, holding stablecoins and yield farming offer attractive returns, lowering the FIRE threshold.
@wang_xiaolou argues that the real challenge lies in becoming an "AI+Crypto" super individual. He shares his content workflow: gathering input from WeChat, Twitter, and communities, processing it via Youmind and NotebookLM, then outputting articles, tweets, and videos—a closed-loop, self-driven system.
Though these KOLs start from different angles, their consensus is clear: super individuals aren’t uniquely gifted—they’re ordinary people who continuously create, actively adopt tools, and remain self-driven and compounding over time despite uncertainty.
06 Conclusion
In this market, most people lose to anxiety.
Bull markets bring fear of missing out; bear markets bring fear of loss. When prices rise, they hesitate to add positions; when prices fall, they can't bring themselves to exit.
Their mindset constantly pulled by price swings. The root of anxiety? Being merely a "value holder," not a "value creator."
The solution lies in becoming value itself. Become a super individual, harness AI, and create value. Your sense of security should ultimately stem from what you can create—not the fluctuating numbers in your account.
Whether you like it or not, AI is reshaping productivity and Web3 is重构ing production relations—these trends are irreversible. Embracing change is the only way forward.
