Do your job with passion. Find what you love and what you're willing to sacrifice most of your free time for. Do it in a broad space - learn, teach, act. "Joy makes the longest journey too short"

In my opinion, good examplesis Musk. Thousands of predictions and actions (like robotaxis or self-driving Teslas before X), 90% wrong, but people still love(d) him and underestimate how many times he's been wrong. PS: I am afraid of failure as hell, so this is just a comment

Incentives shape everything — especially in crypto. Design the right reward system, and you can shift user behavior, move markets, or even generate billions in trading volume. Miss the mark, and you might attract bots, wash trades, or unintended exploitation. This short piece

open.spotify.com/episode/6cCkqR… Although the topic is a bit far from my day-to-day interest, the discussion is just simply great. Topics like Levy area made me feel like I just want to jump into the paper and my data and do sth with it. Great job done by Corey Hoffstein 🏴‍☠️

Have you already started or you are still waiting for more news?

I tried to test one signal recently, and this is the difference between assuming that we are the fastest vs. not (where “not” means decent latency, but not the worst). The higher the frequency of your trades, the more careful you need to be with your assumptions. If you trade an

I had a convo with two friends (one’s a trader in a different asset class, the other leads an AI team). We talked about how people want to work only on “exciting projects” - avoiding the dirty but crucial jobs. Spend 20% of your time doing the work no one wants to do. It won’t

That's how it works in most of the very, very competitive disciplines. You just simply maximizing PnL with constraints regarding the law and reputation. Formula 1 is a good example - you always have a philosophy of doing everything to be the best but within technical

Recently, my wife asked me „What do you regret in your life?”. I told her that the only thing that I regret is that Gerko and Schlamp are not on X.

I wonder how many illegal strategies started with this pattern: 1. Notice the pattern in the market. 2. Use it on a small scale. 3. You reach capacity. 4. What about actually being that pattern and using it on a big scale? For example: Pump and Dump. You notice a pattern where

In most teams, 20% of people do 80% of the meaningful work. If you’re young and ambitious - sit down for a moment and ask yourself: “Who are those people in my room?” Then, next quarter, focus on helping them. Do their dirty work. Ask them real, important questions.

If you don't have an edge trading shitcoins, then definitely you do not have an edge in options. No matter how many times you will read Hull's book.

I talked with SBF about FTXs latency spikes exactly 2 months before FTX collapse. During those 2 months I was suprised twice: 1. First time that he was so engaged that he wrote directly to me about the latencies. 2. Second time when I realized it was all fugazi.

7 out of 11 diamond sponsors at #ICML2025 in Vancouver are related to trading. Two lessons from that: 1. We know who is interesting in ML innovations the most. 2. Another proof that trading companies need to evolve constanty and need to be aware of it. I wonder where the fight

I wrote recently about how I use AI and one of the key points was that I always do a proper draft for AI. We are getting stupid and distracted because of AI, but it will be an edge for every person that will be able to use it properly and maintain clear, deep, thinking skills.

That’s unfortunately not how business works. You need to be brave at the start, talk about things that you are not sure about and vision that is not yet properly tested. If you set up a new leg of business then you probably fake it until you get enough clients to be 100%

The „problem” imo is that successful people don’t need money, so they don’t write on X just because of it. You write here, you meet wonderful and smart people and you realize that the best conversations are those that happen on DMs or in real life where you meet those that you
