Intro intro intro hmmmm... I've spent about a week now trying to think of what to write.
This would come as a surprise because I usually don’t shut up haha. I made a promise though, if my new friend futuremind could write a totally random article about applesauce using the 2 key words given and pull $10 from it id join. Sure enough he never fails to amaze me so here I am!
What’s to say, well my names Kyle, it rhymes with smile... Ok ik ik its cheesy but to bad 😊 I’m a free-spirited Canadian entrepreneur, equity trader and crypto enthusiast. I've done very well this early in my life and have grown fond of crypto currencies as a movement as opposed to an investment. I long for more and seek to make a difference in the world. This desire has led me to live life by Steve jobs famous saying: “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do”.
While the road ahead is surely a long one, I hope to play a significant part in bringing back financial independence and privacy to people all over the world.
It’s said we live in the land of the free but when you take a good look around, all I see is pain. Now I've never been your average kid. You know the ones you see full of laughter with a blissful spirit that can't be mistaken. These were the times we were free from the current system of oppression because we were sheltered. The truth is from the time of birth your own blood signs you over as government property. Don’t believe me? I can’t say I blame you. Sometimes it’s easier to pretend problems don’t exist and live day by day than to acknowledge them and live in despair. We’re brainwashed all our lives to conform whether we believe it’s right or not. While we go to school, we’re taught what the system wants us to know, not what we need to know. What do we need to know though? Simply put we need the truth.
I've never been one to see the world in a way someone else chooses on my behalf. I was the playground hustler and the high school shark. You need something, Kyle’s your guy. I was a terrible student that was going nowhere, or so they said and I found a passion in capitalistic ways and entrepreneurism. From as early as grade two I was profiting from the trading of school lunch snacks! Oh boy when you save your lunchable kit-kat bar until the end and everyone wants to trade it’s amazing the negotiation's that take place. Let’s just say I was eating free lunch and saving a little on the side! I got older and things progressed. I started dealing Pokémon cards and tech decks to buying discounted Halloween candy and selling it two to three months later when everyone exhausted their supply.
Life was good you’d think but somethings always bothered me. I couldn’t relate to anyone. I had to be the most anti-social person in the world as a result and always longed for someone like me. I spent recesses inside many times because I found more joy learning and engaging with older people that would give me the time of day. I spoke fluent French with the janitor by grade seven and visited a great physics teacher constantly to gain insight from his open mind in my high school years. I was sent to alternative education come grade ten and graduated early being able to work independently but not once could I escape the way I seen and did things. Why was I this way and how could I get it to stop? I just wanted to be normal, accepted for who I was and invited to engage with others despite my indifference's.
Eventually the college years came and when I turned eighteen, I ran away to find myself leaving my job, dropping out of college and never saying goodbye. I missed Christmas with my family that year and ended up leaving Canada to start fresh. I looked for answers in America with someone I met on the internet and nearly winded up dead with no money after a dispute. Times were great, I had led a full life and I wasn’t even twenty yet! Long story short I returned to Canada with nothing to my name but that’s enough of my backstory. Let’s fast forward to today.
Today I am a successful stock and currency trader and have reached the point I can live passively from dividends. I’m still single and never met anyone like me so I live on the internet for the most part but I'm still young. Fingers crossed 😊 . The worlds always been one big game of monopoly to me. No matter what I do I cannot escape creation. I love business and am obsessed with finding new ways to profit. Funny thing is I live a normal life and have no other interests really. All I know is that I guess I can say I've made it in life, I love helping people and I'll continue to let my ambition run wild until the day I die.
Thanks for reading and I hope this article was up to your steemit standards. Always pleased to see new innovations in the crypto sphere. Cheers everyone!

Thank you for the welcome and advice Carrie, il have to join the discord group!
Welcome to the Steemit community @xstarchildx!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.
Eight suggestions to consider:
1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, keychain and steemconnect,
3. The master password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and
be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
7. When you open your steemit.com, in the upper right corner of the page there are 3 bars. Click on those, and then on the "welcome", and you will get a lot of reading material that will help you.
8. Do NOT open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.
I found you because @xcountytravelers and @brittandjosie from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.
If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Steemians available who can help you; you can click to go to the Steem Terminal in Discord here:
Have fun and happy Steeming!
