I built a $10m+ Quant HFT MM desk that @wintermute_t and @Citadel would cry for… and even that still can't reliably beat 3-5bps + slippage on your favourite CEX Farming perps was never profitable if your plan was "airdrop will cover the losses" Not a profitable trader?
AI visual note: The image is a stylized "For Dummies"-themed book cover titled "The Beginner's Guide to Perpetual Futures Markets For Dummies" by "madvincent666," featuring an illustrated character surrounded by trading interfaces showing order books, funding rates (0.0100%), and leverage details, with the tagline "Why airdrop farming won't save bad trading." The cover visually reinforces the post's message by framing the harsh realities of perpetual futures trading—hidden 3-5 BPS costs, latency (1.3ms), and 20x leverage risks—while mocking the common belief that airdrop farming can offset trading losses, supporting the claim that even sophisticated HFT market-making desks struggle to overcome exchange fees and slippage.
