New Yorkers are like an Oreo: hard outside but soft in the middle. Nowhere has this been the case than with TraxNYC. This jeweler got into a scuffle over justice.

He may have used harsh language, but he did it all on business. His heroic deed of defending a customer against miscreants ought to be lauded and applauded.

For him to risk injury, which he encountered slightly, to save the well-being of a consumer is not selfless or unselfish but thoroughly selfish. He did not have to sacrifice himself or anyone else to achieve his end of restoring order to his customer who had ordered a bracelet. The other jeweler overpriced him.

This set TraxNYC off to the point of apoplexy.

In a fit of rage, he berated a fellow jeweler who he alleged had not been honest with the customer.

This show of anger and hatred is a testament to the New York soul. They’ve gotta be tough in order to brave the world that is obviously a magnet for individuals who want to live in the city.

TraxNYC is just another figure who has championed the cause for his town. His voice, shrill and full of contempt, shows him as someone who stands on principle.

In Internet culture, he became a viral sensation right at the tail end of the Christmas season. Among the winking lights, TraxNYC showed himself to be a gentleman even while raising his voice and talking fast as New Yorkers tend to do.

His whole demeanor and behavior pointed to ethics. His morals seemed to be in the right place despite his abrasive manner. He also just brought in more clientele in addition to Busta Rhymes and Cardi B who have, among others, benefitted from TraxNYC and his business.

This will go on until the end of days. Jewelry in NYC is such a staple among the finance, Broadway, and fashion districts.

For TraxNYC to be a proponent of virtue in a city of nefarious figures is rather valiant. He certainly takes his negotiations seriously. Obviously, he is dedicated to the money he earns. That’s a virtue in itself. He goes further. He wants to make his customers comfortable and know they have a jeweler on their hands that will not only supply them with custom, exquisite drip but also one who will go to bat if someone else tries to do something underhanded.

With all the dishonesty and inability to be upfront with both producers and consumers, TraxNYC stands as a real man. He doesn’t take any guff from anyone. He is the definition of an actual human being.

The ethics that it takes to be someone like him is embedded in one’s consciousness. To consider the reality behind what jewelers have to go through it reminds anyone that virtually every human endeavor is cut-throat. While this is not across the board entirely, it is a truth of many businesses. Jewelry is not excluded.

All of the morals that have been infused in TraxNYC show with his actions. Though brash, he remained within the confines of proper behavior. By “articulating” with precise verbiage, he got his point across and more.

Whatever anyone thought of him before his virality, he has certainly solidified his placement among the best New Yorkers. He doesn’t have to wear Timbs or a Yankees fitted cocked to the side. He doesn’t have to get a bacon, egg, and cheese from the corner bodega. He doesn’t even have to fold a slice and wash it down with quarter water.

His New York status is permanent and will remain a mainstay that should be much more than a New York minute.
