Dev builds fully autonomous trading bot in a day — it has already lost him $31,680

Developer @MoonGotchi built a fully autonomous trading bot in an evening and a morning: it ingests onchain and offchain data in real time to make rapid trading decisions with no human in the loop.
He marvels that the model is "INSANE" — but the results are brutal: the bot has so far lost him $31,680. A cautionary tale for "just spin up an agent and let it trade."
