I understand your argument: it's a job. Yea. It's horse racing, essentially. I used to work for some large Casinos with AUMs in the billions. Some of them were quant shops and their strategies worked great until they didn't. The advantage you have, is like you said, you can quickly change your strategy. The quant shops, not so fast. I've watched people get burned badly. In fact, I was thinking of GME and Robinhood and how the big boys started betting on that and cleaned out a ton of Muppets. My original statement stands: crypto isn't an investment: it's a bet. Pretty much like all derivatives.
