Human instinct drives us to take immediate action when faced with problems, as if action can offset the anxiety of the unknown. However, the biggest trap lies in the fact that people's quick actions often do not match the resources they invest. Most people's actions are merely a form of pseudo-diligence to alleviate anxiety. When the speed of action exceeds the precision of thought, your capital consumption is no longer an investment but a gamble—you're using tactical diligence to cover up strategic laziness.

This is a problem everyone faces. Whether one can confront this issue and come up with effective solutions can truly widen the gap between individuals.

Remember, think before you act.

Step 1: Find Your Unique Advantage

0xlykt has written two articles describing how to "Finding Edge."

https://0xlykt.substack.com/p/finding-edge-part-2-table-selection

I recommend reading these two articles before continuing.

In simple terms, 0xlykt has built a capability framework that helps the general public seek opportunities in the current cryptocurrency market environment. The core idea is to encourage market participants to actively choose tables that suit them and have plenty of fish, rather than engaging in zero-sum games.

However, I believe these two articles are of reference value but describe a high threshold and a singular path that is overly idealistic and not suitable for everyone.

Personally, I think we can completely find a suitable and effective path through dialogue with AI on a practical level. As @Wuhuoqiu mentioned, "AI is not a 'cognitive leveler,' but a 'cognitive lever amplifier.'"

The specific form of prompts varies from person to person, but the core idea is to analyze and extend. Analyze your personality, cognition, and capability framework, and then extend to execution ideas and details in different scenarios.

Do not ask AI how to make money, whether to buy or sell, but rather share your thoughts and current situation with AI.

Discuss with AI:

Your childhood, personality, hobbies, and early life experiences;

Your investment experiences and summaries, and your judgments about the future;

The assets you are optimistic about, your positions and logic, as well as your holding periods;

Opportunities you missed and why.

One point to note here is that AI prefers to follow your lead, so you need to find points of confusion or doubt in AI's responses and continue the discussion with it. In other words, you need to remind AI not to be your echo chamber but to refute you with reason and evidence.

This dialogue is essentially a conversation between the external you and the internal you, with more confrontation. The conversation should flow upstream, not downstream.

Both advantages and potential advantages will be reflected in the dialogue. After all, the efficiency of using AI for elimination is much higher than thinking and practicing one by one. The next step will test your execution ability to make money using your advantages.

Step 2: Establish an Execution System Framework

Finding advantages is essentially about finding directions for making money. After finding the direction, it’s not all smooth sailing; you need to continue working hard to build a system framework for your future execution.

The core goal of building a system framework is to enable you to have agile response capabilities in a dynamically changing market—quickly reacting based on different market conditions and types of opportunities.

The essence of building a system framework is review and summary.

For example.

If you review the process of $AERO's price surge (opening, Coinbase spot listing, and surge timing, etc.), you won't miss the opportunity for $ZORA's rise. Both trades correspond to Coinbase's core needs; $AERO corresponds to the Cancun upgrade, and Coinbase needs to raise the price of $AERO to capture liquidity for Base. Similarly, $ZORA also corresponds to Coinbase's core needs, as Coinbase bets on Base App and Creator Coins in the future, with Zora being a core component of the new phase of Base. In my view, the opportunity attributes of $AERO and $ZORA are fundamentally the same.

Reviewing and summarizing is not limited to summarizing experiences for each trade but should extract the underlying logical commonalities from individual cases and transform them into a reusable decision-making model: signal identification → logic verification → execution entry.

Finally

After all this talk, in simple terms, what I want to say is to know yourself. Most of the pain in trading often comes from the mismatch between personality and positions. Abandon the fantasy of being omnipotent; human abilities have boundaries. You cannot have it all; find or cultivate your advantages and use your strengths and the capability framework built on those strengths to make money.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
