Aggressively using credit card balances as investment float?

Disclaimer: my question here is asking for riskier stuff, and I don’t think anything should be off the table here, so keep that in mind. I’m looking for fairly audacious techniques.

Do you know of anyone who has tried this sort of thing? High-credit limit cash balance transfers? Using introductory zero-interest rate offers to mine or loan out crypto? Floating $20-30K+ in e-commerce inventory with no money out of your pocket? Real estate flips and BRRRR method stuff? What am I missing here? How do you make it more effective (lower interest rate, longer duration on zero-interest offers, rewards churning, better investment techniques)?  Are there any non-fraudulent websites where you can churn rewards particularly rapidly? Cheers
