TradFi vs. Crypto: The Death of the "Black Box" Hedge Fund

In Traditional Finance (TradFi), investing like a pro is gated.

You give your money to a guy in a suit, he takes a 2% management fee + 20% of profits, and you get a quarterly PDF telling you if he won or lost.

You have zero visibility into the actual trades. It’s a "black box."

The Crypto Revolution: Radical Transparency

Crypto Copy Trading destroys this model and on platforms like Bybit, there are no suits and no secrets.

Every "Master Trader" has their entire history on display:

→ Win Rate: Is he lucky or consistent?

→ Max Drawdown: How much did he lose in the worst week?

→ Sharpe Ratio: Is the risk worth the reward?

How to Pick a Winner (Not a Degen)

The mistake most people make in #TradFiVsCrypto is chasing the highest APY.

A trader with 500% APY might just be one bad trade away from liquidation.

To win at Copy Trading, look for the "boring" metrics:

→ Low Drawdown (<20%): Shows risk management.

→ High Frequency: Shows the strategy works over many trades, not just one lucky pump.

→ AUM Growth: People are voting with their wallets.

Summary

TradFi sells you "prestige" and hides the data while Crypto sells you "alpha" and shows you the receipts.

If you can copy a whale's moves instantly for a fraction of the cost, why would you ever pay a hedge fund manager again?

Do you trust the suit, or do you trust the on-chain stats?
