So, Crypto to me is as interesting as any other bloated stock considering ive been following markets religiously for past year now (sorry but I think crypto is a bubble). But nevertheless, there is opportunity to be had and the opportunity Im looking towards specifically is involved in quantitative crypto.
Specifically, I'm looking to start programming (undecided which language, will be either node, c#, or c++), a set of quantitative programs which will make money for me.
For those unfamiliar with this, there are many quant equity firms (stock firms) on the street, and they're full of engineers, programmers, and ph.d level mathematicians. To say the least, these firms pull in billions while a lot of other firms on the street have trouble beating the index. Jane Street Capital is one specifically that is an insane firm which pulls in a lot.
But these firms do specifically quant work in equity and debt markets, not crypto markets.
Specifically, If I'm going to get into it I'm most likely going to be aiming at arbitrage opportunities (pure arbitrage is a process by which you buy and sell two crypto's at the same time, in order to take advantage of parity differences, and u make money on the inefficiency of the market at that split second time.) Triangular arbitrage, and covered interest arbitrage (which will possible because of a potential forwards market in crypto).
So I was wondering, has anyone dabbled or thought of going into crypto quantitatively.
Share ur thoughts, experiences, or criticisms (trust me, there are a lot) of this idea.
