![]() ![]() Prior to getting into crypto, I was working in healthcare. When I met Greg, he was my intro into the crypto world. I was like, “Okay, from a technical perspective, the fact that this thing has not gone away and is making new highs – this is a good buy.” That’s when I first got invested in crypto, and in late 2015, when Ethereum first started trading, I sold all my Bitcoin for Ethereum after learning the value proposition of Ethereum, and that’s when I met Pat as well. ![]() That’s when I bought Bitcoin for the first time. $200 was the previous high and it was making new all-time highs breaking $200. I saw Bitcoin break above $200 for the second time. In 2013, I was a prop trader in Chicago, and I was still following Bitcoin. I thought it was one of those, “The government’s going to shut it down any second” type of deals. I don’t want to invest in this.” This was $7 Bitcoin at the time. My conclusion was like, “Oh, this is pretty nefarious. 2012 is when I first got into crypto by doing a research paper as a research university paper.īasically, what I learned and what we did then was: we looked into Bitcoin, went on the dark web, we checked it all out. Ever since then, I’ve really dug deep into options and have been absolutely obsessed with options. I fell down the options rabbit hole, understanding what they are, what is a put, what is a call, what is buying premium versus selling premium – those basics. I was looking at what are all their positions, and it was all options. Some people were having billion dollar returns. Back in the day, we were looking at the Investopedia billboards of these guys who made the most money. So, I first got into options in 2008-2009, and the first person I got into options with is actually a crypto veteran in the space as well, which is, Will Warren the co-founder of 0x. I’m happy to go back to the beginning days. Greg – maybe you want to kick it off? I think you’ve got probably a longer track record. Greg and Pat, maybe we start off with the both of you giving us an introduction about yourselves, your past lives before crypto, and how you fell down the rabbit hole. We’re here with Greg Magadini and Pat Doyle, who are the co-founders of Pink Swan Trading, a data studio that focuses on crypto markets. I’m Ashwath Balakrishnan, the Director of Research at Delphi Digital, and I’m here with Avi Zurlo, who’s an analyst at Delphi Ventures. ![]()
