What is a good (bullet) Elo?

What are you guys talking about ? If you get to 1200 your in the top 10% of players, I consider anybody above 74% to be decent in their field no matter what that is about 10% very good

I think the rating pool avarage is kind of low. I mean even if you're like 1050, it says you're on top %15
I'm like 1330 right now. It says that I'm in top %7. Or maybe it might be accurate. Cuz there were many countries with not even single GM's or 4-5 GM's max.
I'm from Turkiye, it's like on the 19. place on country list. So I guess it's slightly above the avarage. And if I check the rating list, I might be around top %13. Cuz I'm like 1700 rated for rapid.
1400 is like top 5% do that would be exceptional. 1100 is good
The answer to all chess questions is:
No rating will ever be good enough. You will spend years playing a game, only to never achieve a feeling of accomplishment or satisfaction. You'll look back and regret wasting that much time of your life on it.
I'm technically in the % of bullet players ... I've had a rating as high as 2300 - (2400 on Lichess). STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I can solve 3000+ rated puzzles ... doesn't matter.
THE ONLY THING chess has ever brought me is a fake entitlement of intelligence. When people hear I'm good at chess, or that I have a certain rating, they do (falsely) put me in a category of smart people. I don't doubt that I'm not an idiot, but I am far from the level placed on me. Also, I don't doubt that playing chess as a mental exercise has many benefits (so maybe that can be the saving grace).
At a certain point ... it seems it might just be worth hanging it up and spending my time on something better.

Is bullet a chess skill. It is only for fun. I just use my hands not even thinking when playing bullet. But I hope it is good for developing intuition and tactics.
Absolutely 💯 it is a skill. To be able to think so quick and have board awareness as well as creating traps at that lightning speed is the ultimate chess challenge.
My bullet rating is 163 HELP.
