Short monologue by Kosta Ouzas describing work developing algorithms to trade bitcoin (primarily bitcoin futures) and emphasizing a distinction between bitcoin and broader crypto. The speaker situates personal experience/industry anecdotes as context for why people are drawn to crypto.
What I, what we're actually doing right now is we develop algorithms, and the algorithms are built to trade bitcoin, mostly bitcoin futures. Bitcoin is a really unique asset, right. And we really set it apart from crypto. I think there's a real distinction now between crypto and bitcoin. And I can go back to when I first started, because everyone gets attracted to this industry originally because they hear the stories about people making a lot of money, making a lot of money, maybe they weren't even that smart, or losing a lot of money ordering pizza with fucking correct, all that stuff.
