A single person once minted over 184 BILLION Bitcoins

In 2010 someone exploited a bug in Bitcoin's code and generated 184,467,440,737 BTC in a single transaction on a blockchain that was only supposed to have 21 million total supply

Satoshi and the developers caught it within 5 hours and pushed Bitcoin's first ever emergency fork to erase the transaction

You don't need more trades, you need more capital

$500 per day on a 50k Funded Account

With a 50% win rate & 1/2 Risk to Reward

That is $625 per week

$625 doesn't "seem" very rewarding when you felt like you traded well & stuck with your plan

However, those same trades copy traded with 5 accounts is $3,000 per week

$3,000/week is $156,000/year.

From the same 2 hours. The same plan. The same trades.

The goal was never to trade more. It was always to scale what already works.

Most traders blow up chasing bigger size on one account. The smart ones just get more accounts.

Your model doesn't need to be better. It just needs to be multiplied

[J @jangard]

Most traders think the goal is to:

•Make enough money from trading
•Quit their job
•Trade 1-2 hours a day
•Spend the rest of the day gaming, watching netflix, going to the gym

Then they wonder why they're depressed and have no purpose

You weren't built to do nothing

You were built to CREATE

Use trading as a vehicle to give you the money and time to build something that actually matters

Start a business, invest in real estate, help other people

Don't waste the gift that trading gives you by becoming lazy and complacent

[AJdoestrading @ajdoestrading]

The difference between $50k and $500k in prop firm funding?

$50k at 5% per month = $2,500 $500k at 5% per month = $25,000
Same strategy

Same risk per trade

Same time on the charts

10x the income

This is why scaling your funding is more important than trying to increase your monthly returns

Most traders are chasing higher risk-to-reward and over-trading trying to make more money

When they should just be passing more evaluations and stacking accounts

If you can consistently return 2-5% per month you can make $10,000-$25,000 a month with $500k funding

And you're only trading at NY open for 30-60 minutes

That's the life

[Andrew @AndrewTradesNQ]

@SirPickle_ This is why you should not be risking >10% of portfolio per trade, just because most of the traders do not have the win rate to withstand the drawdown of losing 8+ trades in a row

[Sir Pickle @SirPickle_]

Take a look at this to put things into perspective.

Dont let a few losses in a row throw you off your game.

Its all probabilities and losing streaks WILL happen no matter what strategy you trade.

The following data is an eye opener.

This chart shows the probability of seeing at least (X) consecutive losing trades within a 100 trade period

[Arka Datta | AFI @0xriskyops]

Many people thought Dubai is a safe heaven.

Including me.

Today, few hours ago USA attacked Iran.

Iran had promised to give back by attacking the US bases in Saudi, UAE and other gulf regions.

And it happened.

10kms away from my home in Dubai there were explosions heard.

No cabs.

Airspace closed.

Let’s wait and watch what happens next.

Stay safe comrades!

JPMorgan paid $920 million in fines for manipulating precious metals markets for 8 years.

No one went to jail.

They made $50B in profit during that time.

[Piyush Trades @piyush_trades]

Imagine you are a large fund manager with trillions of dollars.

The market is boring and mostly sideways, so you don’t have any opportunity.

Suddenly, you hear that Country A is planning to attack Country B.

You start shorting the entire market with billions of dollars.

Then you realize that in future while booking profits, you’ll need liquidity.

You ask Country A to hold the attack for two more days and carry it out on Saturday.

Country A says why should we listen to you?

You promise to give the supreme leader $2 Billion in black.

Country A agrees.

You take even more short positions on Friday.

Country A attacks Country B on Saturday, and panic is through the roof.

It’s the weekend, so the stock market is closed; hence, retailers are not shorting.

The market opens on Monday, and retailers rush to short sell.

You start squaring off and booking profits while retailers provide liquidity.

You end up making billions of dollars in profit over the weekend, doing nothing.

After two weeks, both Countries A and B halt the war due to unknown reasons

Now you wait for three more months and then ask countries A & & B to repeat the same process for endless profits.

I request you to connect the dots with the Iran–Israel war that has been going on for the last two years.

[Maran @TheMaran]

how to make $10,000,000,000 in 90 days

Jane Street case:

1) get billions of dollars from investors

2) let's say btc is trading at $69k, buy btc on spot

3) open big short positions via derivatives

4) sell all btc within few minutes in a low liquidity market at 10 am et or during negative sentiments

5) btc price starts to go down, say to $65k

6) close the short position for big profits, they lose only 5.8% in spot position

7) buy again in $65k, create fomo, open short

8) rinse and repeat

> do this for the next 90 days

congratulations you made $10b by literally manipulating magic internet money

[Jesse Cohen @JesseCohenInv]

⚠️Just In: Weekend Gold Futures are up 3% to $5,444 an ounce after the US and Israel carried out a major strike on Iran.

[Bark @barkmeta]

Jane Street was running an algorithm that dumped Bitcoin every single morning at 10am. Every day. For months. Crashing the price. Liquidating retail. Buying back lower. Rinse and repeat.

The second they got sued it stopped. The 10am dump disappeared. Now Bitcoin just had the best day in months.

One trading firm... That’s all it took to suppress the entire crypto market for months.

Now ask yourself how much of the crypto price action is even real. How many people panic sold because the charts look terrible. How many people got liquidated. How many billions were taken from regular people by a single trading desk.

And this is just the first one to get caught so far… it’s about to get VERY interesting.

[Nonzee @0xNonceSense]

For months, 10 AM meant one thing: the Jane Street dump.

Yesterday, they got hit with an insider trading lawsuit.

Today at 10 AM? Bitcoin rips higher instead.

Coincidence, or did the game just change?

[Diana @InvestWithD]

🚨UPDATE: Jane Street Ordered TO HALT “MANIPULATIVE” Bitcoin Trading 🤯🔥

According to reports, Jane Street desks were given an urgent memo to immediately cease “manipulative Bitcoin trading activity” — with algos reportedly shut down. 😳

Market manipulation by major trading firms is now CONFIRMED. 👀✅

BREAKING: US just sanctioned a network of exploit brokers trafficking in stolen US hacking tools

First-ever use of #PIPA (Protecting American Intellectual Property Act) by @USTreasury.

Here's the wild backstory of how @opzero_en got US-taxpayer funded exploits. 1/

[0xDoctorDefi @0xDoctorDeFi]

The firm making markets for BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF. The same firm banned in India. The same firm now sued for Terra.

All operating legally in the dark because the classification was always designed that way.

This isn't a Jane Street problem. It's a structural one.

The system doesn't have a bug. The opacity is the feature.

[Mohit Shah @shahmohitm]

People think markets are about who trades better. Many times it’s about who sits closer to the system, gets information earlier, and plays inside rules others don’t even know exist.

When firms make this much money while showing very little about how they operate, skill is only part of the story. Structure is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Retail keeps watching price moves. Big players often shape the moves first.

[van00sa @van00sa]

Jane Street made $10 billion in trading revenue in a single quarter.

For scale reference- thats more than Goldman, JP Morgan, Citi, or Bank of America managed in the same period

They got banned from India’s stock market last year for manipulating a national index. They seized $570 million and called them “not a good faith actor that deserves to be trusted”

Today they’re being sued for insider trading that helped trigger the $40b Terra collapse.

And because they’re classified as a trading firm and not a hedge fund, they’re exempt from the disclosure rules that would force them to show you how they actually make their money.

This is also the firm that handles BlackRock’s bitcoin ETF, btw

Passing evals is easy

Keeping accounts alive is where the real money is

Hitting $400K/month trading prop firms comes down to two things nobody wants to hear 🧵

Everyone’s obsessed with passing evals

Nobody talks about what happens after

You get funded, blow it in a week, and start over

The money is in retention

Multiple firms

Multiple live accounts

All surviving

That takes two things:

Risk management that’s actually intelligent

A mind that doesn’t crack under repetition

Risk management:

Build a buffer first

Then cut your risk

My win rate is 70-90%. Once I’m in profit on an account, I risk 20-30% of my drawdown per trade

Not the account (0.7% of my account)

The drawdown

This makes blowing a buffered account nearly impossible

You’d need a catastrophic losing streak that statistically almost never happens

Mental game:

Here’s what nobody tells you consistency is boring. And boredom kills performance faster than losses do

You can’t white knuckle the same routine forever. Eventually you slip. You overtrade. You revenge trade.

The solution: actively invest in renewal

Fancy dinners. Travel. Experiences that remind you why you do this

The best traders I know aren’t the most disciplined

They’re the best at staying fresh

$1,500 → $33,000 on 5min BTC markets in 2 days

This is the new reality.

It stops being gambling the moment you define an exact algorithm.

Here are the recommendations on how to create the same trading bot:

→ Write your code in Rust – it offers C++ level speed, and there’s an official polymarket-client-sdk available.

→ Minimize Latency – your trading bot must be deployed in the same data center as Polymarket: AWS eu-west-2 (London). This ensures the lowest possible execution lag.

→ Price Discovery – Polymarket pulls prices from Chainlink, but Chainlink doesn’t "create" the price; it simply aggregates and broadcasts it. Use Binance – as the largest spot exchange, it is the primary source of price discovery.

→ Apply the Black-Scholes Model for binary options – this is exactly what will help you identify +EV opportunities by calculating all necessary Greeks and variables.

→ Don’t turn it into a casino – use the Kelly Criterion. It acts as your risk manager, calculating the optimal % of your bankroll for every single position.

If you want to earn like trading bot devs – you need to think like them.
