Crypto isn't what it used to be - Krillin on markets, macro, and adapting as a trader

Insilico Terminal Podcast · Apr 30, 2026 · 1h 1m

Krillin joins the Insilico Terminal Podcast to talk about getting into crypto in 2017, riding the altcoin euphoria, losing money through the bear market, and slowly turning that into a real trading process. We cover early altcoin trading, manual market making on IDEX, risk management, adapting across market conditions, why he moved more toward SPX and TradFi, how macro helped him sell the 2021 top, his thoughts on Hyperliquid, and why trading should be treated like a serious job - not a shortcut to getting rich.
