70-75% of trades are already executed by bots, actually. just an extension of human greed. it won't get any better, unfortunately.

Perhaps, but they are competing against 25-30% humans who aren't as optimal probably, which makes it profitable still (and the bot technologies are still improving).
I don't see the point as it's closer to 100% bots, which is the incentive obviously. You'd eventually end up with bots so good that the gains and losses are a lot closer to zero (less profitable).
I think the long term result is the end of such things, and the beginning of actual prosperity IF we fix the money. Just speculation, but I think the average human lifespan would already be 200 years if Bitcoin had existed when the Federal Reserve was created. I can imagine 100-200 years from now looking wildly different. Financial trading will probably seem retarded.
I have no idea what the dynamics of an artificially intelligent quantum network of bots would be like, depending on the programming, whether it would be self-generating, the degree of human interference, economic principles. too many variants in the equation for my little knowledge. I personally am physically incaple of being that optimistic, lol, especially about fixing the money, not with cbdc's in sight. but I'm a firm believer in building decentralized, self-sufficient parallel systems in which bots might not even be necessary. in the end, I just hope there will still be humans in 100, 200 years' time.
