🥺 These are very kind words from one of the most underrated, sharpest trader I know on here
Since I've been getting questions, this is what I wrote re: my subscription today:
1. I have written in public for 5+ years and have never scammed, or agreed to tweet about a stock / token for $$
2. I plan to keep it that way. Lots of people look down on X subscriptions because scammers use it - it has a bad rep. But to me, subs are a way to filter conversations, and a place for me to comfortably share my market views. I value authenticity, and want to always be authentic especially to my paid audience.
3. As I grew bigger, it became harder for me to publicly share positions - I still do it, but knowing I'll be scrutinized for every thing is tiring. Paying filters for people who actually want to be here - you also get a community of like-minded investors + you can ask me questions directly, because there's fewer people - normally I have notifications turned off because there's too much spam
4. Substack will always be free. And the reason why I switched to X was that the platform has to match the cadence. Substack is good for long-form, higher time-frame thesis, one article a week kind of style. But it's bad for my trading style, especially when I want to "ape first, research later"
5. Lastly, I always make sure to charge on the lower end while delivering more than expected. I chose an amount that is less than the market - (Most Substack influencers charge $60 - $100/m, Kevin Xu does $250/m, etc.) and I believe that paying forces me to post more actionable insights.
Writing in public for so long, you realise that most people consume quietly, and there's a small minority of loud critics, so it became more difficult to be incentivised to post quality insights.
By using subscriptions, I find that I'm able to comfortably share what I want to share, e.g position updates, trades, and more intimate ideas, versus the broader X where it's better to vaguepost
