A Coinbase engineer created an open-source project called Stonkfly that connects a simulated fruit fly brain to a Bitcoin trading system. Instead of using direct price data, the system interprets Bitcoin candlestick charts visually and rewards profitable trades with simulated dopamine signals. The digital brain mimics the neural structure of a fruit fly with 166,700 neurons and 25.6 million connections, making buy, sell, or hold decisions without numeric price input. While the experiment is not proof of profitable trading, it explores how a biological brain simulation adapts to artificial rewards in crypto trading.
