To all cryptocurrency traders and investors on Hacker News,
SMESHED is a historical cryptocurrency tick data provider for modeling and backtesting.
After spending months downloading tick data from Binance to build my trading bots, a question pops up in my head: "How the hell does a normal trader get this kind of data?"
They don't know how to program, so they only buy it. But many providers I found focus on enterprise customers. As a result, they require expensive upfront payment to access data.
After talking with some traders on Twitter, I decided to build a system to get, normalize, and store data myself. And that is how SMESHED got started.
Currently, we have more than 3,500 currency pairs from six exchanges. We will add more exchanges in the future.
Please comment and dm me with any questions, can't wait to hear what you think!
They announced 6.2% inflation, but I believe the actual number is bigger than that.
I found the solution six months ago: Bitcoin.
Before that, I was a value investor, and I thought Bitcoin was a scam, a hype.
But after I read "The Bitcoin Standard" by Saifedean and went down the rabbit hole, I truly believed Bitcoin is the best store of value.
