Cryptopia, FTX and the hunt for overlooked edge - Beniduboss

About this episode
Benoit Dubosson, better known as Beni the Boss, joins the Insilico Terminal Podcast for his first interview about crypto. He explains how he built a trading career around markets other people ignored—from Cryptopia arbitrage and onchain deposit signals to FTX funding trades, the Luna collapse, TradeOgre market making, and strange dislocations across CFD brokers and fintech apps. Beni also talks about counterparty risk, the mental cost of trading your own money, why he eventually left crypto, the role of luck in success, and why beginners should spend far more time researching than trading.00:00 From online poker to early crypto arbitrage 13:55 What trading crypto was really like in 2017 22:42 Finding edge where others do not look 31:09 FTX trades and the Luna collapse 41:44 Market making Monero on TradeOgre 50:47 The mental cost of trading 01:00:04 Advice for new crypto traders 01:09:07 Networking, luck and when not to trade
