From Poker Pro To Trading Giant: Inside The Mind of Selini Capital — 1000x

Recorded live at the Selini Summit in Cannes, Avi sits down with Jordi Alexander — founder and CIO of Selini Capital, former professional poker player, and one of the sharpest minds in trading. We discuss why crypto's "great filter" washout is actually healthy, why retail has disappeared from crypto, how Selini is now trading SpaceX and equity IPOs using the exact same playbook they learned in crypto, why passive flows always end up holding the bag, the leverage lessons from the October 10th liquidation cascade, where a crypto market maker still has edge over the Jane Streets of the world, the first principle of all trading (you're always exchanging risk for expected value), and the casino economy of variance, dopamine, and why you should never trade from your phone. Enjoy!
