Sebastian Raffaele grew up in a small, working class family in Australia. He had a crazy life, growing up in social housing, having to find his way. He found inspiration from his family members, who always pushed him to follow his passions. He left high school early, and jumped straight away into the work force. In 2014 he was introduced to crypto, and got hooked. Outside of tech and finance, he has always been into the creative spaces, specifically music. He likes to spend time with his fiancé, likes trying new foods, and tries to surround himself with high quality people.Sebastian realized that the manual processes for a trader are overwhelming, along with making it difficult to be consistent. And alongside this, he saw the cycle of manual traders returning the money they made to the market - sort of like "the house always wins" in casinos. He wanted to build something close the gap for these traders, and solve this problem.This is the creation story of Minotaur Trading Systems.SponsorsP0 SecuritySpeakeasyQA WolfSnapTradeLinkshttps://minotaurtradingsystems.com/Our Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com* Check out Vanta: https://vanta.com/CODESTORYSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Our product development has always essentially been throwing live money into the market. We've funded everything ourselves from day one. We've never had a dollar of outside investment. We would start reprocessing that strategy on previously old Bitcoin data to see how it would perform in past markets. And what it would show us was these amazing, crazy results.
And back then we were like, wow, we figured it out. This is it. Let's go live. We threw a few thousand dollars on it and see what it would do. And essentially, it lost all the money. So we were very humbled very quickly. My name is Sebastian Raffaeli. I'm the co-founder of Minotaur Trading Systems and the chief technology officer.
