In April 2023, I interviewed for a job at a hedge fund.

They asked: “What’s the trade you’d put on right now?”

My answer was simple: levered long #Bitcoin, short the dollar.

BTC was under $30k at the time.

I didn’t get the job.

The trade? It aged well.

That moment was an eye-opener—not because I wasn’t hired, but because the conviction that earned me Bitcoin in 2019 was being dismissed. That’s when I realized: it was time to leave TradFi.
