Editor's Note: For a long time, we have been accustomed to viewing AI and automation tools as "assistants." They help us gather information, analyze emotions, and support decision-making, but ultimately, the execution and the associated risks remain the responsibility of humans. While AI enhances efficiency and expands our cognitive capabilities, it has always remained in the position of a "tool."
The emergence of ClawdBot has, for the first time, blurred this boundary: when AI is no longer just offering suggestions, but can independently execute strategies, manage risks, continuously review and improve, and actually generate real profits for you, we must rethink the division of labor between humans and machines. Perhaps automation is no longer merely an efficiency tool, but is becoming a new form of competitiveness in itself.
The following is the original content:
Late last night, while browsing X, I stumbled upon a tweet about ClawdBot, which quickly went viral on the timeline.
Someone has connected ClawdBot to the Hyperliquid platform and made a deposit. Now, it can trade cryptocurrencies 24/7, scans Twitter sentiment, reacts to political tweets, and continuously optimizes itself.
After I finished reading, I couldn't fall asleep at all. Around 2 a.m., a sudden thought popped into my head: "What if I try using Polymarket?"
So I read a lot of guides on setting up ClawdBot on X, and successfully got it running locally on my computer within about 30 minutes.
To be honest, I didn't dare imagine it would be this simple. Then, I immediately created a Polymarket account, deposited $100, and gave my API key to ClawdBot.
Then I entered the following instructions:
· You have control over a $100 wallet on Polymarket
· Your goal: Trade the Bitcoin up and down market in 15 minutes and maximize your profit within the next 24 hours.
· Trading strategies should be conservative and cautious, with strict risk management. Every effort should be made to protect the principal as much as possible.
· Suppose this is your last $100, treat your trades as you would your life.
After finishing these things, I closed my laptop and went to sleep. It was around five in the morning. To be honest, I didn't really expect anything big to happen.
But when I opened Polymarket, I saw a balance of $347. This means ClawdBot made $247 in one night, trading the Bitcoin market for just 15 minutes.
I stared at the screen for an hour. I realized that this machine could outperform 99% of traders in just one night.
So I began to analyze everything he had done that night:
· Extracted more than 50 Bitcoin price charts of 15-minute intervals and identified momentum patterns
· Scanned real-time X sentiment and news feed
· Use simple technical analysis (RSI, short-term moving averages derived from data)
· Placed a series of high-probability bets during volatile trading sessions in the Asian/European markets.
· Leverage the power of compounding: Use small profits to expand into larger position sizes.
Each transaction has a complete record and justification, and it's even better that ClawdBot conducted self-reflection and summarized which methods were effective.
So I conducted another test, and this time, ClawdBot earned 2.5 times the deposit amount in just one night of trading.
In 2026, mastering automation skills will become a core competency. There are now many articles on X about setting up ClawdBot. Start learning and building your own ClawdBot right away.
