    In this episode, Pedma shares his journey from bookkeeping and small-cap equities into fully systematic crypto trading.

We also discuss alpha vs risk premium harvesting, prediction markets, perp DEX innovation, AI in trading, scaling capital, and the psychological impact of increasing size.

    Insilico Terminal Podcast Episode 20 - Fofty

    In this episode, Fofty shares his unconventional path into markets - from the euro crisis and the Wirecard collapse to crypto mining, ICOs, and eventually macro-driven trading across options, perps, and traditional markets. We explore how event-driven thinking, convexity, and seasonality shape his approach, why options offer a better way to express macro views, and how liquidity - not narratives - ultimately drives markets. The conversation dives deep into misunderstood macro dynamics, government liquidity hacks, Bitcoin’s struggle with credibility, CT culture, and why constant scamming undermines long-term adoption. We close with thoughts on the future of markets, Bitcoin’s role as digital gold, and the need for traders to think bigger than short-term extraction. 00:00 Intro, Fofty’s background, origin of the name, early Twitter and CT beginnings 02:59 Rebirth group, daily macro writeups, building credibility as a macro-focused reply guy 06:56 Wirecard scandal, discovering markets via shorting fraud, Twitter as a real-time news edge 15:32 First macro “click”, euro crisis, Greek bonds, studying finance and early convictions 19:47 Mining, Dash masternodes, Bitmain, ICO cycle, getting wiped in 2017–18 23:24 Trading philosophy, event-driven macro, convexity, why options beat linear perps 34:45 Why macro is misunderstood, liquidity vs textbooks, Treasury issuance and cycle prolongation 54:12 Bitcoin, gold, narratives, scams, generational belief, rant and closing thoughts

    In this episode, DeltaXBT shares his journey from early Bitcoin exposure and getting wrecked in the 2017 altcoin cycle to becoming a disciplined, higher-timeframe trader focused on patience and simplicity. We talk about why he only trades a small basket of majors, how journaling and waiting for clean setups shaped his edge, and the hard lessons learned from losing over 90% of his net worth during the 2021 crash. Delta explains his approach to risk, leverage, boredom trading, and why doing nothing is often the best trade. The conversation also covers CT culture, trading psychology, transitioning toward TradFi markets, execution comfort with Insilico Terminal, and why longevity, balance, and having a life away from charts matter more than constant action. 00:00 Intro, Deltas background, early Bitcoin exposure, getting into crypto seriously in 2016–17  05:10 Learning to trade, trial and error across spot, alts, leverage and journaling to survive  10:42 Trading philosophy today, higher timeframes only, patience, simple setups and conviction  17:10 Current market view, Bitcoin range trading, boredom, CT narratives vs reality  23:43 Going full-time, quitting his job, 2021 crash, losing 90% net worth and mental reset  30:51 Risk management evolution, leverage used conservatively, avoiding catastrophic loss  33:50 Patience and FOMO, ignoring CT noise, focusing on few charts, life outside trading  46:32 Expanding into TradFi, differences vs crypto, execution tools, edge durability and closing

    Insilico Terminal Podcast Episode 18 - World Markets

    In this episode, we’re joined by Lucas and Hersch to dive deep into World Markets, a new fully on-chain “prime DEX” aiming to bring spot, perps, and lending together under a single, unified risk engine. Lucas explains the core insight behind building everything on-chain: atomic state, transparent risk, and capital efficiency that simply isn’t possible with hybrid or centralized architectures. We explore why traditional exchanges behave more like casinos than markets, how World Markets avoids ADLs through bilateral counterparty risk, and why circuit breakers, universal margin, and order-book–based lending matter. The conversation covers MegaETH vs Monad, listing philosophy, basis trades, funding efficiency, and the long-term vision for building a real exchange - not just another venue to gamble on leverage. 00:00 Intro, project episode disclaimer, introducing Lucas and Hersch from World Markets 04:00 Founders’ backgrounds, Lucas’ Amber Group exit, TradFi experience and crypto crossover 08:30 Core thesis, why fully on-chain exchanges matter, state sync, risk calculation, EVM choice 14:00 Product vision, combining spot, perps and lending into one unified on-chain venue 20:30 Universal margin system, atomic risk engine, levered basis trade example 30:45 Risk management philosophy, circuit breakers, handling extreme volatility and dislocations 42:00 Exchange design tradeoffs, no ADLs, bilateral counterparty risk, transparency vs CEXs 59:49 Token plans, points program, incentives, launch timing and closing thoughts

    In this episode, Mazino shares his journey from blowing up early spot bags in the 2017 era to becoming a disciplined, consistently profitable trader. We dive into how simplifying everything - cutting leverage, focusing on level-to-level price action, and journaling relentlessly - became the turning point. Mazino explains his evolution from swing trading into day trading and scalping, how he uses DOM and order flow as context rather than a crutch, and why patience and psychology matter more than theory. We also discuss building confluence, managing risk, compounding small edges, Hyperliquid and on-chain perps, journaling techniques, mentoring newer traders, and why slow, boring consistency beats leverage-fueled hero trades in the long run. 00:00 Intro, Mazino’s background, getting into crypto around 2017 03:34 Becoming profitable, removing leverage, simplifying trading and rebuilding fundamentals 08:54 Evolution of trading style, swing trading to day trading to scalping with size 12:17 Risk management lessons, journaling, confluence, leverage mistakes and psychology 19:22 Scalping execution, DOM reading, liquidity, exits, and managing fast losses 26:04 Market cycles, spot investing, evaluating projects like Solana and long-term views 34:27 Journaling process, scalping notes vs swing analysis, adapting to changing edges 43:05 Building a desk, working with quants, automation ideas and on-chain finance 49:05 Why he started posting on CT, free education, mentoring and common trader mistakes 55:02 Insilico Terminal features, execution speed, advanced orders, server-side algos 59:00 Closing thoughts, patience, compounding, gratitude and wrap-up
