gollark: I guess if you just don't care about it and have it throw away money and build up increasingly large debts...
gollark: But won't that just result in one of the bots losing out?
gollark: Hmmmm...
gollark: So the optimal approach would probably either be something like long-term boring trading humans won't do which works on large amounts of the market, or relatively high-speed reaction to new memes.
gollark: I've been considering bots, and they have some advantages:- they can respond faster than humans, probably- they can process vast amounts of financial databut some disadvantages:- they can't practically actually react to the content of a meme, only some metadata- I think there's comment rate limiting so they can't post that often
