A viral post claims a 19-year-old Japanese student used Claude Code (with an iPad as a second monitor) to build a BTC arbitrage bot in 2 days, starting with $68 in capital, making $6,732 the first night and $750K total — figures are unverified. Architecture: Claude Code handles trading logic, Binance API streams live BTC data every second, scanning 50+ markets for price dislocations and executing automatically when arbitrage windows open, running 24/7. The claimed edge is pure speed plus pattern recognition.
