crypto user taxonomy:
1) arbitrageurs. upstream of everyone, hyper-rational, uses custom software. time horizon: blocks
2) snipers. uses custom software + ct/gc. time horizon: hours
3) trenchrats. uses dense info-aggregator UIs like axiom, padre etc + ct/gc. time horizon: hours-days
4) retail. uses leaderboards + copy trading + ct/gc. latest to the game, mostly exit liquidity. time horizon: days, weeks, months
there’s a gradient in risk, pnl, technical understanding and capabilities from 1 to 4, and each group is only vaguely familiar with the one before it
may the odds be ever in your favor
