19 year old Japanese student built a trading bot with Claude Code in 2 days. Used his iPad as a second monitor. First night: $6,732 profit. Starting capital: $68. Total profit so far: $750,000. [ 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐌𝐞 @zakiraicoder 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐌] Here's how it works👇 The bot scans over 50 markets simultaneously. Syncs live BTC data from Binance every second. Spots price errors before humans even notice. The edge is pure speed + pattern recognition. While traders stare at charts trying to predict the next move, his bot is already executing on mispricing across dozens of markets. No guessing. No emotions. No hesitation. Just Claude Code logic finding gaps that close in seconds. He built the entire system in 48 hours: — Claude Code handles the trading logic — Binance API feeds real-time BTC data — iPad displays multi-market monitoring — Executes trades when arbitrage windows open The system runs 24/7. Every price dislocation = profit opportunity. Most people are still trading manually, refreshing charts, second-guessing entries. Meanwhile this 19 year old engineering student turned $68 into $750K by letting Claude Code do what humans can't: process 50 markets instantly and execute without fear. Why are people still trading manually? I'm giving away the exact Claude Code setup for free. 24 hours only. To get it: 1️⃣ Comment " Setup " 2️⃣ Like and Repost 3️⃣ Follow @zakiraicoder (so I can send it via DM) I'll DM you the complete setup.

“Consider relationships as the primary unit for public policy,” said @MCcharveriat in her opening remarks at a webinar organized by Pro(to)topia. Building on this, HDRO Director @pedrotconceicao emphasized the need for an #AspirationalApproach: “We should aspire to advance human development.” Rethinking #HumanDevelopment today means accounting for planetary change and human-nature relationships—while mobilizing people’s #agency to act, and inspiring both the public and policymakers to drive impact at scale. 👉 How can we turn #aspirations into action for #people and #planet? Check out the #HDR2026 theme: hdr.undp.org/reports-and-pub… – at Manhattan, NY

TEDx Talk. I gave a talk for the annual TEDxNYU conference. Speaking about going beyond your disciplinary bubble, collaboration, and becoming the most actualized version of yourself by not becoming a job description. #ted #tedtalk #tedx

Nice to be back in the UAE speaking at @NYUAbuDhabi and the University of Sharjah about the intersection of art and science and how my role as artist-in-residence at @nyuadcgsb has contributed to interdisciplinary collaboration and science communication.

“Field Notes” is out now on eco-vinyl. Field Notes is a composition I produced using field recordings following my residency at @nyuadcgsb, on a project where I installed hydrophones on reef stations to track the changing soundscapes of the Arabian Gulf. ephemerarecords.bandcamp.com

Thanks TEDxNYU for having me share thoughts on becoming the most actualized versions of ourselves, armed with the knowledge and skills of our disciplines, but willing to apply them in unexpected ways. It’s a mistake to believe that expertise has to come at the cost of curiosity.

My site-specific light installation and live musical score for the 87,500-square-foot cistern in Houston. 2.2 million light changes occurred over the course of the piece - representing the approx 2.2 million people in the US that don’t have access to drinking water in their homes

As someone who is easily overwhelmed by platforms, this CWC feedback is validating. I wanted to create an online space that felt intuitive for writers to navigate (& I created a “how-to” guide for introverts using the CWC platform!). We’re reached capacity for June in just under 3 days of re-opening. If you're looking for an online writing community, join the waitlist for July (& if you received an invite link, make sure to enroll by June 5).
