Picture a trader:

• Dark suit, white shirt, red tie
• Eyes glued to the Bloomberg terminal
• CNBC in the background

Yes, that's it

Not anymore.

Cryptocurrency not only changed how money works, it changed how it is traded.

Twitter is the financial news stream for crypto

I remember early in my finance career, I had to get trained on how to use a Bloomberg Terminal. It came equipped with its own keyboard (how thoughtful) and commands a user had to learn. Not to mention the UX hasn't been changed much since launching in 1981.

You'd go here to see latest quotes and news.

I don't miss this.

Crypto markets change faster than even the stock market. And it's a 24/7 game. 

Twitter is the perfect platform for it.

Blockchain companies with tokens no longer need to get interviewed by WSJ to get noticed. Push code to GitHub, write a post on Steemit or Medium and let the world know on Twitter.

That's it.

Beats paying $20k+ per Bloomberg Terminal to get the latest news!

YouTube is home to the new analysts

Ever watched this guy?

The next Jim Cramer won't be on CNBC. Nope, not ABC or CBS either.

Maybe its Carter Thomas. 

Maybe it's Chris Dunn.

One things for sure, she or he is already on YouTube.

And they're filming their crypto analysis from their bedroom (shoutout Nicholas Martin!).

Brave new world where not only banking is democratized, but traders are too.
