Description
This week I interviewed a short-term Bitcoin trader, who goes by the alias of BTCVIX. As you can imagine, this episode is a little different – this is an area (or should I say, a market) we haven’t yet explored on the podcast, in past interviews. With that being said, I found this discussion to be really interesting and I’m certain you will also. Some of the topics we spoke about include: Why VIX went from initially trading stocks and options, into the Wild West – Bitcoin markets. We spend plenty of time discussing the landscape of Bitcoin; going into how the digital currency is ‘mined’, how inflation is hard coded in the ‘ledger’, and the real ‘counter-party risks’. Changing the way you may think about consistency, and understanding non-linear outcomes within your trading results. But that’s just a quick sample of topics ahead – hit the ‘play’ button to learn more about the realm of cryptocurrencies.
