A short YouTube monologue by a trader (Kardec Trader) who admits that day traders provide little real-world value beyond liquidity but frames trading as a vehicle to generate money to fund impactful projects. The speaker emphasizes using trading skill to accumulate capital, then deploying that capital into causes they care about, which also motivates them.
And I admit this. I'm a trader and I've made tons of money from trading. We offer no value to the world. And people told me that. They're like, hey, by the way, like, I, like, I was like, I know, we don't. We click a bunch of buttons. We make money on a screen. No real value to the world, but a lot. Just so you know, I provide liquidity to market makers. Yeah, a lot. Right? And a lot of people probably watching too, right? So. So it's like, yo, how do you. If you are successful in the space like that, how do you utilize it? For me, it's like, hey, for me, trading is a vehicle. Like, it's a vehicle of making money. That's why even though trading for whatever it is I want to do is for that it's a vehicle. I'm good at a certain skill set. How do I get myself to more money? If I am able to make more money, how do I pour that money into other projects and things that I'm passionate about and really make an impact in something that I'm passionate about that I think can benefit other people? And that also, from a selfish point, motivates me.
