Experience
Insurance Shopping Questionnaire Engine
Notification Service
Bot for Placing Bets
Crypto Trade Bot
It discovers coin stocks that are about to be pumped and buys them before the name of that coin stock is sent to those groups so that the price is still relatively low. The bot then sells the coin stock at a price before the dumping occurs. The bot is meant for the pump-and-dump trade only and can't be used for other purposes.
Technologies used: Python.
