What a trove of resources! this is the sort of post that takes days to read through every linked article and still realized there is much to learn!

>Machine learning and crypto [currencies] are mostly orthogonal. Though there are most certainly a lot of attempts to predict exchange rate fluctuations using machine learning.

I dont know why but i find it very funny. I dont know how to put it into words but i feel like something as computer-run as crypto currencies should be easy for a machine AI, but what was initially designed to automate finance is apparently the "last bastion" of machine learning.

Although i do agree it's orthogonal. Nothing about cryptocurrency is human, and so means nothing can be learned.
