In this monologue, The Art Of Crypto explains his trading philosophy, emphasizing that understanding market manipulation or "smart money" is unnecessary for profitability. He states he does not claim to fully grasp why prices move, nor does he care about such mechanisms. Instead, his focus is on having an edge: a repeatable set of patterns that consistently produce more winning trades than losing ones over the long term. This edge, according to him, is the sole requirement for making money in the markets and defines his zone of expertise.

Like, I'm not claiming to understand how smart money works. I'm not claiming to understand, like, okay, I'm 100% sure that manipulation or whatever is happening in the markets. And frankly speaking, I don't care either. All I care about is making money from the markets. And truth be told, you don't necessarily need to understand fully 100%, okay, this is exactly why price moves or whatever, in order to make money. All you need is an edge, and you just need a series of patterns that plays out consistently over time that when played out generates more wins than it loses over the long run. And that's all you need to make money trading. At least that's what I claim to know, right? That's my zone of expertise.
