Personally I'm interested in RT and strategy ideas. No interest in Crypto as I don't trust the exchanges so it's hard to trade...I use the ETFs if I want exposure to Crypto
Respect. It is hard to trust Crypto exchanges after some of events in more recent years.
I don't know that I am going to go so far as to turn into a full-time crypto trader. But I sure do love the decentralized nature of it. Plus, it gives me to opportunity to develop strategy ideas faster, which is what this is mostly about.
During this time, I can use the freely available data from crypto exchanges to create a good suite of tools in Python for testing ideas. No matter what the asset type is.
Python baby... all for: implementing data reading / storing, creating algorithms, backtesting, and live trading / order tracking and execution / stop loss movement, etc... :).
Regarding markets -- mostly Futures (e-minis, etc.) these days, but also have interest in options -- mostly SPY options, but also potentially options on individual stocks... for safety ;). Futures are great for many things, but safety isn't one of them 😂.
I could be more open to Crypto if it was as easy to short as Futures, but generally I don't think it is, if I understand correctly. Forex is also an idea -- did Forex for several years and might look to get back into it, but variable spreads suck -- another win for Futures... unless you're doing longer term swing trades (then spreads aren't too much of an issue), which I'm also interested in.

I agree with JC's comments
