(whether manually or through some form of automation), of course there's going
be some choice of buys & sells that return a profit.

How you choose such a profitable strategy is a huge area of discussion.
However, it's a completely different subject to the article, which is just
focused on the mechanism of running a bot.

All this post is how to set up a github project. Nothing more. I’d hope to
rather see writing on portfolio management, risk management, or other
strategies.

That said, Zenbot actually provides a decent platform to start trading.

I've heard of strategies where multiple accounts can collude to manipulate the
solo bots that make statistical decisions. Is this a real danger when
professional companies start getting involved in crypto?

Hmm, just looking at GDAX's API, you aren't able to tell who's making an
order. You don't know if it's one account with ten orders, or ten accounts
with one each. So I don't see why multiple accounts would be an advantage.

One thing that springs to mind is that it would allow you to have POSITIONS on
both sides of the market, you could use this to create a series of small sell
orders that would lure the bots down towards a larger buy order.

You could do this by just placing orders, but I guess in some instances it
would be beneficial to be able to hold positions in both directions.

The API let's you take positions on both sides with a single account, or
prevent yourself from self-trades by setting a flag.

EDIT: Nvm, the flag just specifies what the behavior is in the
a bot, though. For any form of trading 
 (whether manually or through some form of automation), of course there's going 
 be some option of bargain & betray that return a net income. 

 How you choose such a profitable strategy is a huge sphere of discussion. 
 However, it's a completely different discipline to the article, which is just
