Bitcoin Becomes a Real Job and Wall Street Is Hiring
A San Francisco-based hedge fund is hiring a Bitcoin execution trader, in yet another sign of how seriously Wall Street takes cryptocurrencies—or possibly that the world is ending.

No word on whether or not you get paid in bitcoins.

Adam Besvinick spotted the job ad and shared it on Twitter.

According to the job announcement, the firm is seeking a “junior trader to assist with bitcoin trading, general fund operations, and reporting.”

As Business Insider’s Joe Weisenthal reports, “This is the first time we've seen this.”

I guess there is no way to know for sure, but maybe there is some kind of transition to this crypto money planned. Obviously, the role banks play in a scenario where we all use bitcoin wold be very different from their current role. That restructuring could bring some huge problems for shareholders.

That is because all the big boys know the dollar is about to die and before that happens they will get into bitcoin.

Bitcoin is the safest currency to hold wealth in during world war as it cannot be damaged by geo-political machinations.

Right before WWIII hits bitcoin will be the number 1 safe haven for wealth until the war is over and only THEN will it be safe to pick a fiat to go into.

If you can trade it, there is money to be made. Considering bitcoin is pretty volatile, many many pips are to be made.

I haven't traded it yet. While I can see the potential, I haven't figured out the legal ramifications yet. It's complicated (to me) because it's new and there are no other historic examples to look at in order to make a proper risk assessment.

My broker isn't offering any options on their platform relating to Bitcoin but there is a demand for it, and investment companies are looking to incorporate it in their portfolio's.


Anyway, technically, you don't need a broker to trade Bitcoin. Just convert. Think long term strategy.

This will either boom or bust, but if there is a way to get in cheap before and IF the commercials get in on it, there is some serious money to be made. And that is what I am trying to figure out right now. Where is the big money going?

Well, I know a place where you can trade Bitcoin and Litecoin - Plus500. If memory serves, you can trade BTC at 40:1. Very risky with such a volatility, but very rewarding if you got it right.

Hmmm. I will look into that. Thanks.

I trade using Oanda. Primarily because it allows me to have an account at JPMorgan in London... and their platform is pretty sweet.

A 40:1 leverage is pretty high but it is nice to have available for those rare occasions you are working with a sure bet.
