Fruit fly brain simulation used for bitcoin trading makes $1 profit on first day with $100

A digital simulation modeled on a fruit fly’s neural wiring was used in a bitcoin trading experiment and made $1 in profit after one day. Coinbase software engineer Alex Warmus funded the system, called Stonkfly, with $100 and linked it to cryptocurrency price data. The setup converts Coinbase BTC-USDC market data into images and generates trading signals, but a single day’s gain does not prove learning or repeatable performance.
