Day 17 · Kickstart Your "Knowledge Compound Interest": Make Cognition a Yield-Bearing Asset

Good morning, lifelong learners.
This is #币圈100天成长计划 Day 17/100.
📚 An counterintuitive truth:
Every penny you lose is essentially a tax paid for cognitive deficiencies.
And a more hidden loss is—most people's learning is a "one-time consumable":
Reading a research report, listening to a Space, analyzing a project, gaining scattered cognitive fragments, then forgetting, starting from zero next time.
You don’t accumulate, only repeat.
This is the most costly opportunity cost: you could have let your cognition grow exponentially like compound interest over time.
💎 Today’s Construction: Your “Knowledge Compound System”
Upgrade fragmented learning into an accumulative, callable, iterative cognitive asset:
Level 1: Cognitive Compression—From “Collection” to “Extraction”
▫️ Stop ineffective collection. After reading a deep content piece, force yourself to write within 100 words:
· Core idea (one sentence)
· Transferable analytical framework (e.g., “This is very similar to the valuation logic of XX project”)
· My doubts/extended thoughts
Level 2: Concept Cards—Build Your Thinking Toolbox
▫️ Use Notion or any note-taking tool to create a “permanent card” for each investment concept you truly understand:
· Concept name (e.g., “Cold Start,” “Flywheel Effect,” “Value Capture”)
· My plain-language understanding (rephrase in your own words)
· Crypto market application case (at least 1 positive + 1 negative)
· Related concepts (link to other cards)
▫️ Key: Not just copying definitions, but outputting your “translation.” This is the only way to internalize public knowledge into private cognition.
Level 3: Thematic Deep Dive—Replace “Information Flow” with a “Research Tree”
▫️ Select a track (e.g., Restaking, DePin, AI Agent), and conduct thematic deep dives weekly.
▫️ Build your “Research Tree”:
· Main trunk: Core logic of the track and value capture model
· Branches: Major project comparisons and niches
· Leaves: Fragmented information, data updates, community observations
▫️ Every Sunday evening, spend 30 minutes integrating the week’s leaves into the trunk and branches, allowing your knowledge system to grow organically.
✨ Cognitive Compound Interest Formula:
Your future decision quality = Σ (Cognitive output from each deep learning session × Reusability rate)
Starting today, let every learning session empower your next decision.
👇 Do you have your own knowledge management system? Or what is your ongoing struggle with “learning and forgetting”?
