Pattern recognition is the most underrated skill. If you can spot patterns early, before most people notice them, you have a massive advantage in life. That applies to investing, but it also applies to how you prepare, how you plan and how you execute on anything. The people who do extremely well are usually not predicting the future, they are more so just reading the present more clearly than the average person. So pay attention to what is happening around you. When you notice a pattern, ask what the second and third order effects might be. Then make decisions based on that. You will be surprised how often you end up being right.

Patterns of unhappy people: - Need social approval - Are reliably unreliable - Feel sorry for themselves - Choose comfort over truth - Refuse to learn from others - Spend more then they make - Use chemicals to alter mood - Make everything about them - Resent the success of others - Confuse motion with progress - Confuse cynicism with intelligence - Promiscious with their attention - Always in love with their first idea - Are alwasy too smart to look stupid - Need to learn everything from mistakes - Build a life that looks better than it feels - Protect their potential by never testing it - Stay loyal to decisions that no longer make sense - Win arguments at the expense of the relationships - Standards for others and explanations for themselves Not a good place to be.

Patterns I've noticed in people who aren't necessarily unhappy, but aren't going anywhere with their lives: - Never learn anything new unless they're forced to - Don't set goals unless their survival / finances make them insecure - Talk about what's happening in the world rather than what they're working on - Aren't aware of any of this, and making them aware doesn't hurts more than it helps Hard place to be.

Some patterns I've found useful when writing AI skills: 1. composing skills within one another. Saw this first with @mattpocockuk 's /grill-me and it has been really good for maintaining consistent behaviour 2. hiding skills behind a router. I have both /design and /testing-quality files that contain a bunch of useful skills and advice I've come across in references within the router skill 3. Freely editing skills from other devs but maintaining an UPSTREAM.md file of what I've changed so I can keep it up to date

Crypto patterns in 2026 .... The market is no longer what it used to be , current patterns are mostly traps. Therefore, do not trade based blindly on patterns. The $ETH chart is a prime example.
