Arthur Hayes @cryptohayes
Arthur Hayes is the co-founder and former CEO of BitMEX, the exchange that pioneered the perpetual swap — arguably the most consequential financial instrument crypto has produced. A former equity derivatives trader in Hong Kong, he reinvented himself as the industry's most entertaining macro essayist: his long-form newsletters weave central bank liquidity analysis, market history, and irreverent humor into arguments about where capital flows next. On X he distills those essays into punchy takes on monetary policy, dollar liquidity, and crypto market cycles that traders worldwide parse line by line.

Engage with NoobClaw
Essay publication days are the high-tide windows. Configure NoobClaw to catch his essay announcements and macro takes, then have accounts reply with a distilled summary of the argument, a chart that tests his liquidity thesis, or a pointed question about the trade expression. Summarize-and-react accounts harvest serious follows from readers who want the essay decoded. Keep tone confident and a little irreverent to match the room, hold each account to two or three replies on drop days, and stay quiet between essays rather than forcing daily presence.
