From Wallstreet, with love

My dad was a Wolf of Wall Street, he died when i had 6 years old. He taught me lot of stuff, indirectly, by just watching him. As a kid, you absorb more from observing than from listening what to do or to not do. I have this picture of him, sitting in his desk home-office, laughing, smoking, staring to one big quote in the wall, saying things like:

–“For twenty dollars I can tell you a lot of things, Mr. Dikcerson. For thirty dollars I can tell you more. And for fifty dollars I can tell you everything. That’s the atittude you need to have in this business, you nerd... Ha! suck me hard, Mr. Dickerson, and one day they will all suck you…all, but me....”

When i was four we moved to South America in an opportunity my father had to make huge business, and, climbing and big boat’s ladder, he slipped, hit his head and they never found his body on the see. All his partners fucked him (us.. the family) and kept his shares for the company. We became bankrupt in an southamerican country with no money to pay our rent, to buy a ticket back, and in the beggining, even to eat.

Somehow Ma (my mom), as mother’s do, found a way to take care of their children, and she got a job where she managed a Little store on a high way… we basically spend no money (we lived, eat and take care of the place) so she started saving to “go back” but we actually never did, i grew and live in Colombia. And when i think back, i really think of Medellín as my true home.

As the first son, i always felt i needed to fill my dad’s spot, so i studied business in order to “get what god, or this assholes, stoled from us”. Like many decisiones we do in life, mine was not really conscious, because we don't tend to find out what we really wish, but instead, w ego programmed to achieve what was imposed to us, from family, friends and society in general.

To give an example, the only thing i kept from my dad until my 30th birthday (when i changed), was the big quote he had in the wall that he loved to stare for hours, while talking on the phone... and talking, and talking...

"One of the funny things about the stock market is that every time one person buys, another sells, and both think they are astute." – William Feather

As a senior in a buisness school, i got really good at solving rich’s people problems. Basiclly, when their sales were going down, they called my enterprise, and my enterpise ended up sending me the most fucked up clients, to found everyway posible to regain their profits. That’s when i started at Buzzfeed, but also, when a crazy anxiety problem came to my life, and brougth me, paradoxly, to Steemit.

Amazingly, it was my shrink who invited me to Steemit to resolve my depression problem. He said: +Steemit is about a bunch of millenials, like yourself, trying to get rich to make a better world. So, make them rich, instead of helping that ugly, ugly people."*

– So, Mr. Camacho, your life sucks because you have solved really rich people problems... and that can never be good.

He recomened me to use my energy in a better enviroment, to stop taking my pills, and to allow myself to travel and breath new air.

My profession was relativlly important in a corporative ladder, i was not rich but i lived pretty decently in a Colombian sense, but, if you are doubting about my anxiety, my doctor explained it like this: when people is making insanely quantities of money making other poor, probablly you would start doubting about where and why you are spending your precious time...

My life was all about making the rich, richer... and poor, miserable....

One time, one of my clients asked for a solution to start selling advertisement to low class mother’s to convince that their kid maybe tested for OCD… yep, to destroy their brain with pills because the kid want to be running in the yard instead of sitting in front of a teacher hearing worthless information… i gave them the best advice, that was one of a huge content company clients...

–Steemit– my shrink continued– is like politics, business, or power... give value to rich people and they’ll make you rich.

So ill post tomorrow one thing that boosted the Buzzfeed strategy. Just make sure you upvote this. And hello, im Daniel!
