I love it. It just seems like it is a feature of crypto “enthusiasts” that they have a habit of unintentionally using references or phrases that have nefarious and negative associations as if they are positive.
“Kingpin” has a long history and none of it is positive. Unless you live in an upside-down world where negative is positive. And, speaking of worlds, one that always shocks and gives a laugh is the breathless wonder of great things to come with crypto characterized by the crypto-heads as “the brave new world”. Clearly, none of them have read the book.

Who knows? Maybe crypto folk are all illiterate or just don’t read history or literature or comics (huh?). Just charts.

“Being a technical trader I have always been attracted to the Data Driven side of things but in this case there some fundamental factors in play as well like any other asset class in the financial markets.”

Technical traders are a perfect fit for crypto. You don’t need anything but one of those magazines or online forums giving you the various easy-to-follow patterns to watch for. And you call that data. Never mind that fundamental data is data. And, on most trading floors (IBs, Hedge Funds, Asset Managers, etc.) there is no such thing as “technical trading” because real trading requires data. Lots of it. And none of it could be seen as other than fundamental or derived from fundamental. Oh well.
