Care to link that? I am pretty sure the Kelly Criterion is a betting strategy. What does that have to do with bitcoin?

Edit: Found it. https://rhsfinancial.com/2017/06/line-aggressive-crazy/

I hope you really think about applying the Kelly Criterion to trading bitcoin futures and hope you realize that the person completely ignores friction(transaction costs),and does not show a sharpe ratio( who cares if you beat a benchmark with 10x the risk).

The Kelly Criterion is a betting strategy that, given the probability and payoff of different outcomes, tells you what percentage of your bankroll to bet.
