There are only 2 possibilities
1. They're lying
2. They're incompetent
If they actually believed any of this they would be doing everything in their power to sabotage operations, not make a couple disinterested tweets

@GryptoGoon joins the Insilico Terminal Podcast to talk about finding crypto edges, market making, and why the best trades often come from clicking around broken markets before anyone else notices.

Replying to @gainzy222
surely a man in his forties has sucked enough dick to realise when he is sucking the wrong one
Goon retweeted
we regret to inform the cessation of our operations
due to a bug in our pricing system, our binance prices contained 8 extra decimals, rounding down our pricing to 0
this led our systems to sell all assets all the way down to 0
we are working closely with creditors
thank you

Became an $ASTER spot market maker for the weekend. I'd highly recommend anyone wanting to dive deeper into markets give it a go.
Read about the strategy, how it performed, and where I would take it from here: blockbandit.xyz/adventures-i…

As a broke college student, operationally intensive trades were my friend. If I wanted to make money onchain, I had to be creative.
This is the story of how I pulled off a 20-30% arb involving a sketchy CEX and my credit card for ~72 hours.

🚨 Please take 30s to read this 🚨
I swear this might be the first time the crypto community has been a genuine net positive for society, and it’s one of the most wholesome stories you’ll hear.
This guy reached out to me asking for business advice
He didn’t ask for a handout
He asked for an advice
So I did, to which he replied:
“I am currently homeless so I can’t do that beni but I’ll do whatever it takes could we maybe tweak this one way or another to make it work?”
Excuse me?
Everyday mfers dm me telling me they lost X amount and ask me to send them money because apparently I look like a charity
Meanwhile this man lived on the streets and wanted nothing but to hustle and get out of this situation to give a better life to his gf
You can’t teach true grit, either you got it or you don’t
Many say they have it but it suddenly disappears when shit hits the fan
Like bro you know what it takes to not give up in those circumstances?
I asked him what he could do to maybe help him land a small job
He sent me his portfolio
It was better than 99% of the ones I received from guys I interviewed and HIRED, back when I needed devs in crypto
Mind you he did all that while having to walk around the city and find free wifi
I guarantee you this guy is going to make it because of his mental fortitude alone
I made a post where I shared his story and asked you guys to contact me if you had work for him
25+ people reached out after seeing his portfolio
Many offered to donate money to help him get back on his feet, others called friends to see if they had an opening
I never saw ct act this way ever
1h30 later I got this text (Pic below)
It makes me emotional because I saw myself in him, if a couple coin flips didn’t land my way I would’ve ended up in the exact same position he’s in
That level of “delusional” motivation/grit is the reason why I am where I am today, and I am convinced he will get there too in the not so distant future
Winners win 🤷♂️
PS: After lots of demand I will be making a donation address for him before the end of the week, I will be in control of the wallet and use the funds to primarily secure shelter and food and then whatever comes next
- If you have a full time job to offer him feel free to reach out, he was hired on a great project but he will later need a full time job. I will personally vouch for him and reimburse you if anything goes wrong

Here is his CV and portfolio guys
Open on desktop he told me he didn’t have time to optimize for mobile
clears-portfolio.vercel.app/
Keep in mind this dude has to find free wifi without getting kicked out to build anything
Not even joking he’s better than 99% of the dudes Ive interviewed in the past and even hired lol
I need your help guys
You know me I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t believe in it
I got a really solid dude in my dms
He’s been extremely transparent with me about his situation, him and his gf are homeless
The dude is hungry, praying for a second chance
He reached out to me and unlike 99% of you he didn’t ask for a handout
He wanted my opinion on a business idea he had, only after he told me he was homeless and hence couldnt do what I was telling him
He has to hide his laptop in a hole he dig by himself to not get robbed
He’s a programmer, he’ll take on any job you give him
I promise you you won’t find someone more hungry than this dude
Ask around, let’s find him some work to put him on his feet
If I can’t find him any work I might just pay for his business idea and posting a wallet for donations
Anyhow, if any of you has something you want to build, reach out to me I’ll put you in touch
But if you outrageously lowball him because of his situation
I swear on my life I’ll dox you and your entire family within 24h

This is my quant. My quantitative
