Not for Selling

In all aspects of my life, I'm not particularly interested in selling, marketing, or promoting. For example, I don’t pursue or chase social circles or women. I don’t attend networking events, and I rarely talk about myself when meeting people—unless I’m giving a presentation or the context is a meeting.

This is because I put the work in.

There is a clear line between being truly good at something and becoming a grifter. In trading—especially in the signal space—it feels like if you *really* have something valuable, the last thing you should be doing is selling it to others. If your signals are genuinely high quality, the obvious move is to use them yourself. Why let others copy your edge for a small fee, when that edge could earn you far more if you just deployed it quietly?

There’s also a hidden cost to broadcasting your edge: people start reverse-engineering what you’re doing. The more you share, the more visible you become. That’s never really appealed to me.

Ever since I moved to New York, I’ve found myself making this mental shift. I’m not trying to sell anything. I’m not here to run a marketing campaign or manage a Telegram group. My belief is simple: if I’m truly that good, I should be able to quietly extract what I can from the market. If I can’t, then it means I need to think harder—not sell more.

Because if I’m going to put in the intellectual effort to generate truly high-quality signals, then the most authentic way to get paid is by executing on them directly—not by selling them. Not by building a business around them. Just using them. That’s it.

I’m not here to network or hand out business cards. And it’s not because I lack the credentials—I’d argue I have more than enough of those. It’s because I value peace. I just want to do my thing, quietly, without the circus.

In a weird way, I think that makes me more authentic. I’m not chasing hype, coins, or the latest hot stock. I’m not jumping on waves or engineering 3D memes to get attention. I don’t need antics to bring visibility to what I’m doing. Most of what I do is behind the scenes, and when I do show something, it’s just a small peek—almost like a nod to say, “Hey, I’m still here. Still doing it.”

Just look at meme coins. You’ve got to create memes, animations, hype videos—just to get a little pump. Then the rug gets pulled. All games. All noise. And it’s exhausting. But when you don’t need that, when you’re not chasing attention, you can focus on what really matters: being consistent. Pulling out small, reliable gains daily. Avoiding the gambling, the speculation, the noise.

That’s the mindset I live by. It's quiet, focused, and detached from the spotlight. It’s not about selling anything. It’s about mastery. And maybe that’s the rarest thing of all.
