How to reach 2500 in bullet

I am great at being above average, but nothing more than that :D i am not really good at nothing, LIKE NOTHING.

Tell me how to reach 2500 in Hyperbullet/bullet, that is pretty good rating, but i can not cross 2200, i am beating very rarely very strong players, but mostly they just destroy me, so how to reach 2500 in bullet and how good it is.

I play rapid chess almost everyday BTW
Get better at chess. There is no "one secret" that will help you break 2500. Otherwise, we all would be 2500.
I reached from 2100 to 2300 within one year. I just reviewed a lot of my bullet games with server. When I was 2000+, 2300 players played like one level above me. But I later realized that I can reach there by just minor improvements here and there, lol.
I would say try and get better at classical chess. There is only so much you can do with speed and bullet specific skills. I am not that good at bullet but from what I have seen, that very top rating is only possible with a solid classical foundation. All Elite bullet players have FIDE titles.
Well, I stacked around 2000 bullet in chess.com for about 2 years.( here was around 2100 when I play both sites). Improvements came only when I switched from chess.com , played in here and reviewed with Lichess server.

Above 2500 puts you in the top 99.5% of Bullet players, roughly in the top 300 players in the world. Most of the players at this level are probably GMs, IMs, FMs etc. So if you aren't a titled player already, understand that most of your opponents probably will be, so you will need to be as knowledgeable about openings and tactics and endgames and able to analyse complex positions as fast as they can. You'll also need to be fiendishly fast.

Rating scale is not linear. Going from 2000 to 2100 does not require the same amount of effort as going from 2100 to 2200, let alone 2400 to 2500. Probably fair to say it requires exponentially more effort.
It seems you are already much better at bullet than regular chess... now if you improve your regular chess, this would probably make you an even better bullet player, of course.
I never thought I could break 2300 but now I'm hoping I'll be 2400 soon. I think my advice is to play a lot. Also stick to a few openings you personally like to play. It's tough to venture into new lines in a 1/0 game. Good luck!
buy a good fast mouse if you don't have won, focus on playing specialist bullet openings so you gain experience and familiarity with the positions and can play moves fast and you know typical tricks and ideas, with experience you will learn typical bullet tricks in time trouble and when and when not to premove, thats what has got me to 2500 today, 7 yrs ago I was 700 rated on ICC 1 minute pool.
