This is a milestone that I’m quite proud of and I’m excited to share this with you all. I’ve been working on an algo trading platform alongside a small team of developers for about 3 years now. Between us we’ve put together the foundation for what we believe to be the future of investment and wealth management. It’s a big vision and there’s a lot of work ahead of us, but we’ve recently pushed an update that gives users a lot more control over their exit strategy. An exit strategy is how and when you’re planning to exit the market. An exit strategy should limit your losses and be a ..read more

There is currently widespread news of a large number of Solana wallets being drained due to unauthorized access. The alleged attack targets any wallet that may have been connected to a dApp, and according to CompendiumFi, it is recommended to disconnect your wallet from any dApp at this current time (time of writing 29/03/2024 13:18pm GMT) Although the source of the attack is still to be identified, the current narrative points to BONKbot, a Telegram bot capable of executing trades on the Solana network, as the catalyst of the exploit. Developers associated with the project have denied any ..read more

Crypto markets have been pumping hard lately and the hype is strong once more. At the time of writing BTC is just shy of $65,000 and about to break to a new all time high. There’s never more opportunity in a market than in times of high volatility, and boy did the crypto markets over the last couple of weeks. How many times have you seen a Godcandle and thought, damn, I wish I traded that? That thought is what got me into algorithmic trading when I started building my own trading bots years ago. It kind of all evolved from that point and for the last 3 years I’ve been working alongside a sm ..read more

True adoption for cryptocurrency and blockchain is still pretty far away. Bitcoin as legal tender is a step in the right direction but the real adoption will take place when this ecosystem gets less confusing, and more importantly — less fragmented. The state of crypto in 2024 is that there are thousands of chains, with specific applications built on top of them, but very few of them actually communicate with each other. For an outsider, it’s a siloed and confusing mess. This space desperately needs tools that connect chains together in a way that the end user doesn’t have to worry about wha ..read more

I’ve been in the cryptocurrency space since early 2017 — but I’ve always had an interest in technology and finance so it was an incredible discovery for me when I first stumbled on this space. I’ve seen the world become increasingly more monopolised with a handful of organisations controlling most of the media, computing, and electronics, while the rest of us are distracted by politics that are meant to divide us. I’ve seen the Internet transform from a free and open space to an advert-ridden mess of censored echochambers where the Terms of Service dictate ideological narratives. So natural ..read more

I recently had a fascinating conversation with Christoph Jentzsch, a former core developer of Ethereum and author of The DAO. Christoph was there during the launch of Ethereum and the rise and fall of The DAO and it was amazing to hear him talk about it. I also learned a lot about the Ethereum lore that I wasn’t aware of. Listen to the Podcast on Spotify | Apple Music | Youtube Christoph’s introduction to blockchain was somewhat accidental. Coming from a background in theoretical physics, his search for cheap GPUs led him to Bitcoin mining. This curiosity paved the way for his involvement w ..read more

Blockchain interconnectivity is going to be a big focus in the years to come, well beyond just EVM-compatibility. I recently had a fascinating discussion on this topic with Interchain Foundations’ Managing Director Maria Gomez and Product Lead for Inter-Blockchain connectivity protocol Susannah Evans. The Interchain Foundation have been instrumental in the building and development of the Cosmos Blockchain and they have created the idea of Internet of Blockchains. I’ll drop the links to the conversation down below and I recommend you check it out. Listen to the Podcast on Spotify | Apple Mus ..read more

I recently had a great conversation with Michael Sanders, one of the Co-founders at Horizon. He and his team have built an incredible platform that allows game developers to easily access and use blockchain data in game development. This is the kind of tool that’s going to power the next paradigm shift in modern gaming. There’s a whole podcast conversation on it which I will link below. Listen to the Podcast on Spotify | Apple Music | Youtube Horizon have secured investments from some of the biggest players in the gaming industry, including Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Studios’ parent com ..read more

What a journey it’s been so far. About 4 years ago, I decided to brush up on my backend programming skills. After trying working on some smaller projects, I decided to convert some of the trading bots that I had built on MetaTrader into Python. Some Backstory The first couple of bots I built were functional, but the code would probably cause you to have a stroke just by reading it. As I got a bit better, I decided it’s time to release one of the bots that I had been working on . And thus, the Binance Volatility Trading Bot (BVTB) was born. The idea behind this bot is that it would help ..read more

The actual damage caused by the fake SEC ETF approval tweet is hard to quantify, however over $2 Billion dollars worth of Bitcoin were sent to exchanges in a mad rush, a trading volume that was only surpassed three times in the past according to CryptoSlate. But wait there’s more — over $750 million of these were transferred at a loss, as Gary Gensler quickly announced that the SEC’s Twitter account was hacked and that the Bitcoin Spot ETF approval tweet was “unauthorized”. The timing couldn’t have been worse as today January 10 2024 we are expecting an answer from the SEC with regards to th ..read more
