About Me

I'm a professional cryptocurrency trader and financial markets veteran with over 16 years of experience spanning institutional futures trading and the full evolution of the crypto space. My career began in 2008 at OSTC Ltd — executing high-frequency calendar spread trades across global futures markets where precision, speed, and iron discipline were non-negotiable.

When Bitcoin emerged as a legitimate asset class, I was among the early adopters. Since 2016 I've been running my own independent trading operation — navigating bull runs, bear markets, liquidation cascades, and everything in between. I trade spot, futures, and DeFi protocols, incorporating on-chain data and macro signals to sharpen my edge.

I'm the founder of KryptoPit.com — a free platform I built and own that automates cryptocurrency tax calculations for Polish investors, integrating directly with 8 major exchanges via API and CSV. And as Kryptoholik on YouTube and X, I share market analysis and crypto education with a growing community.

Currently integrating AI automation tools into research workflows, content creation, and trading decision-making — always hunting for the next asymmetric edge.

"Markets are an endless game of pattern recognition, risk management, and emotional control. Technology is the edge — those who master it, win."
