Recently, I attended an offline sharing session by a prominent industry leader, and I have to say it was truly eye-opening.

What impressed me most was her English expression—when I heard her speak last year, there were still some minor fluency issues, but this year she could switch seamlessly between Chinese and English, and she had excellent control over the pace of the entire event. Honestly, the speed of her progress was quite surprising.

What's even more interesting is her way of speaking. You can clearly sense that she has read quite a lot of history books, because she is always able to connect grand narratives like the waves of the internet and the progress of human civilization with the current development of Web3. This kind of thinking framework that spans across time is truly rare.

In the end, reading history is really one of the fastest paths to growth. Being able to extract insights from historical patterns to make judgments about the present—that's true wisdom.

That's impressive—going from stumbling over English to seamless switching in just a year, that's some crazy progress. This method of studying history is indeed powerful, but it depends on the person. For most people, reading it is a waste. Applying a historical framework to Web3 does sound high-level, but how long this narrative will hold is uncertain. Such people are truly rare, but it also shows what real self-discipline means. Seamless switching between Chinese and English is definitely as hard as it gets. Imagine how much effort that takes.

Massive respect, the progress in English is just unbelievable—going from barely getting by to seamless switching in just a year. Makes me reflect on what I’ve been doing. The part about studying history really hits home for me. Feels like a lot of people just talk theory, and very few can actually apply historical frameworks to real-world situations. People like that are definitely rare. Most are still just chasing the latest trends. The key thing is the steady pace when speaking—not like some big shots who just keep throwing out concepts, which gets exhausting to listen to. Reminds me of a talk I watched recently, where they used ancient examples to explain Web3. That’s when I thought, this is real intellectual depth. More than the English progress, what surprises me is her ability to connect all these ideas. That’s not something you can do just by rote memorization. But there’s still a question—studying history is one thing, but can it actually be transformed into good judgment? That’s a real hurdle.

His English expression is really impressive—going from stammering to seamless switching in just one year, that’s crazy progress. I’ve heard this historical perspective argument many times, but there aren’t many people who can actually use it to guide Web3 decisions. Thinking across time dimensions sounds advanced, but I still haven’t figured out how to apply it to investment decisions.
