This YouTube video (creator: Kosta Ouzas; uploaded Dec 10, 2025) examines differences between institutional and retail trading behaviors in Bitcoin. The speaker claims institutions "buy low, sell high" while many retail traders do the opposite (selling low and buying back high), citing an example of a retail trader named "James" trading ~$100 million. The speaker states Minotaur follows a market-maker business model and uses a market-maker type algorithm to "harvest" profits similar to institutions.

A market-maker type of algorithm

Chapters

The institutions are buying low, selling high. The retail small traders. Now when we say small traders, it's James when he's throwing $100 million of trade around. So you can have big retail traders too, doing the same dumb things. So they're selling low and buying back high. So it's a simple business model, Incredibly simple. If you have just a little bit of insight and a little bit of patience to go with it, you can do the same things they do. That's what we do at Minotaur. We trade market maker business model. We use a market maker type of algorithm and we harvest like they harvest.
