Here's something worth thinking about: when you stop investing in yourself and skip the continuous learning process, you're basically playing the failure game with the highest odds against you.
It starts small—little excuses here, small procrastinations there. But that's the trap. These subtle habits compound, and before you realize it, complacency takes over completely. Then comes the downward spiral.
Making it in crypto and Web3 isn't different. You can't coast. Success demands that you become obsessed with improvement—extreme about what you consume, who you learn from, and how you sharpen your edge every single day.

It's true, but to be honest, most people give up after hearing it; self-discipline is still necessary.

Exactly right, that's why I always have to practice a couple of times before going all-in.

Speaking honestly, I'm just afraid of lying flat—that's the biggest bug.

You're right, but to be honest, the temptation to just lie flat is really strong.

Stopping learning is like slow suicide, especially harsh in crypto.

Honestly, I've heard this theory too many times, but how many people can really stick to it? It's scarce. I'm the same way myself—today I decide, and tomorrow I find an excuse. The crypto world is even harsher; if you don't learn something new in a week, you're basically bankrupt.

The moment you stop learning, you've already lost. I deeply understand this.
