Hey,
Happy Friday.
Today I’ve got a podcast for you with none other than Moritz Czubatinski, founder of Edgewonk and Tradeciety.
Short background – back in 2005, Moritz started out playing online poker.
He was full-time and crushing.
Until Black Friday 2011… when the DOJ took down the biggest poker sites for not checking the source of customer funds.
Imagine waking up… turning on your computer to play poker professionally and seeing that image on your favorite poker site.
Due to the site owners lack of due diligence, poker players (through no fault of their own) were suddenly out of a job… and struggling to get their money out.
Moritz needed a new livlihood.
Then, he discovered day trading.
Within a couple of years, he was crushing again in his new career.
Now Moritz lives in Hong Kong, trades 30+ forex pairs 😂 and enjoys taking money from the banks.
Having recently gotten married and hanging up his travelling boots, I managed to pin him down for an interview!
