Sólo quedará la verdad

I'm a Reserve Manager at a central bank.

My job is buying gold.

297 tons this year.

Quietly.

While we print money.

Loudly.

Gold hit $5,000 an ounce yesterday.

We've been buying since it was $1,800.

That's called "reserve diversification."

Diversification means we don't trust our own currency.

But we can't say that.

So we say "diversification."

The Governor went on television last month.

He said inflation is "anchored."

Anchored means 6%.

Used to mean 2%.

We moved the anchor.

That's monetary policy.

He said the currency is "sound."

Sound means losing 20% of its value.

Per year.

But it sounds sound.

That's what matters.

We bought 45 tons in November.

Poland bought 95 tons.

Brazil bought 43.

China reports 1 ton.

China is lying.

We all know.

Nobody says it.

95% of central banks plan to buy more gold next year.

That's a survey.

We surveyed ourselves.

On whether we trust ourselves.

We don't.

We trust gold.

Citizens ask why prices keep rising.

We say "supply chains."

We say "external factors."

We don't say "we printed 40% of all money in existence since 2020."

That's not external.

That's us.

The Finance Minister asked if gold is a hedge against our own policies.

I said "gold is a strategic reserve asset."

Strategic means yes.

I just can't say yes.

Gold is $5,000 now.

Our currency buys less every day.

Our gold buys more.

That's the strategy.

For us.

Not for you.

You get the currency.

We get the gold.

That's central banking.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

Nunca es muy tarde, para ser quien tu quieras ser.

No hay límite de tiempo, empieza cuando quieras.

Puedes cambiar o seguir igual, la vida no tiene reglas. Sácale provecho o desperdíciala.

Dentro de 10 años, asegúrate de poder decir que elegiste tu vida, y no que te conformaste con ella.
No te dejes para después, si quieres cambiar tu vida, hazlo HOY.
