Oh idk, the whole Korean language that most people speak in that country may have had something to do with it. It's not hard to look at two different exchanges and see a gap, it was hard to create an account on those exchanges and execute on the opportunity because it required an understanding of the language and the laws as well as a physical presence if I remember correctly. And no you can't just "Find a Connection" lol, you have a lot to learn. I still don't see how any of those skills translate into a viable business, maybe you could explain that?

The ability to identify opportunities, sell people on working with you, risk manage, and pure grunt work (talking with lawyers, etc.), moving fast, are just a few of the skills required in business that were all applicable here. Automating trades with python might be more relatable for you. But the point is, it's not just technical skills like that that "translate to a viable business."

  Those are fair points but you didn't mention any of that in the article and if you're trying to posit this as a self-help article and not some sort of shameless self-promotion piece then why should I care? Why wasn't this article more about The ability to identify opportunities, sell people on working with you, risk manage, pure grunt work (talking with lawyers, etc.), and moving fast? I didn't get any of that from the article.

    Who said this was a self-help article? The title is what it says. It's an interesting story that people found inspirational / fun to read. And sure, to use your words, it was self-promotion. But why is that bad? Regardless of your opinion of them as people, Steve Jobs did "shameless" promotion of iPhones, and Donald Trump did so with his brand. And if people found the information valuable, that's all that matters! Not sure where your preconception that this must be a self-help article is coming from.
