A viral post on X has sparked discussion about the role of artificial intelligence in cryptocurrency trading, claiming that a 19-year-old Japanese engineering student built a trading bot using Anthropic's Claude Code in just 48 hours. According to the post, the bot turned an initial investment of $68 into $750,000 in profits.
The account @monica_AI also claimed that the bot made $6,732 on its first night of trading. However, the post does not include independently verifiable trading records to support these figures, leaving the claims unconfirmed.
