If I had a winning strategy why would I feed it to Numerai instead of instavest.com?

You don't know if you have a winning strategy. You'd have to put your own money and take a risk to find out. Plus you'd have to take care of data and feature engineering yourself.

Because you don't have capital, risk-adversity, and access to the (expensive) dataset. You only have encrypted predictions, which are worthless for you.
