This former low-wage worker is laughing all the way to the virtual bank.

A man who ditched his job as an Amazon delivery driver now claims to be a self-made millionaire, all thanks to trading cryptocurrency.

Kaif Bhatty, from West Drayton, London, taught himself about cryptocurrency while working for the online retail giant, a job he secured after graduating from college in 2017.

But he began to look askance at his 14-hour shifts when he discovered a cryptocurrency blogger who found success with a digital coin called Verge — at which point Bhatty made the life-altering decision to invest his entire life savings, about $800, into Verge.

His investment soon soared to more than $35,000.

“I couldn’t believe it — I’d never had anywhere near that amount of money in my life before,” he told Jam Press. “I said to myself, ‘There’s no way I’m doing this crap for Amazon anymore’ and quit there and then.”

He realized he was earning more in one day with crypto than he would in a year at Amazon, and promptly quit the gig to pursue his newfound hustle.

“It was an amazing realization of what was possible and motivated me to explore further into crypto,” he said. “I’ve never been interested in being rich for the sake of it but for the freedom it gives you. I decided then and there that I wanted more and set my mind to achieving it.”

Although short-lived — the coin’s value dropped to just about $355 as quickly as it spiked — his brief win just fueled his desire for success.

“Even though I was lucky the first time, after that taste of success, I was determined to do more,” said Bhatty. That’s the moment he also decided to end his pursuit of a master’s degree and focus on trading full time.

“I knew that I was at a crossroads; I could either continue down the minimum-wage path or leave it entirely,” Bhatty recalled. “I became obsessed with crypto and learning how to make money through trading, wanting to do it full time.”

It was the first time Bhatty, who struggled to take an interest in his college studies, had felt this passionate about his prospects. He recalled feeling slighted by professors who only “humiliated and belittled” him for his poor performance.

Despite his academic shortcomings, his parents called the move into crypto a “fool’s errand.”

“My parents had no idea what crypto was, so they were a bit hesitant about me just jacking everything in to pursue it,” Bhatty said. “But at the same time, they saw how determined I was and they weren’t going to stand in my way — so they just offered words of advice and supported me like they always have.”

Their support paid off. Within weeks of his new venture, he scored nearly $12,000. After eight months, he made nearly $600,000. In another year, he made his first million. But the triumph came after a roller coaster of soaring highs and rock-bottom lows.

“There were times when I steadily increased the capital and then I would see a huge gain – but then a bigger loss could occur,” he said. “I learned to stick to risk management, which is make or break in this industry, sticking to a pragmatic formula – and reaching £100,000 in profit within four months.”

Due to the market’s volatile nature, the joy around crypto successes is typically short-lived, he explained, and Bhatty found it hard to “balance” his emotions.

“So then it was about the next milestone and the next one and the one after that,” he said. “It wasn’t just one trade but a steady incline.”

After joining the millionaire’s club, Bhatty packed up his life and headed for Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where he bought a $500,000 penthouse and a $250,000 Mercedes-Benz G Wagon. Meanwhile, he had clients clamoring for consults.

Now, Bhatty can live the life he’s “always dreamed of,” but could not have achieved as an hourly worker.

With such an astounding platform and reach, Bhatty also wants to help people who come from similar backgrounds, who might have felt just as lost as him.

“Going through what I have gone through at school has given me a lot of empathy but there are a lot of people who have it much worse,” he said. “I want to use my energy to help people with whom I can see similarities from my past.”

Bhatty’s fairytale comes as the burgeoning crypto sector attempts to establish its legitimacy within the global financial market in spite of failures, while reckoning with novel security concerns as crypto criminals swipe millions of dollars from unsuspecting investors.

But it hasn’t stopped big name brands from capitalizing on the crypto craze — particularly the high-profile nonfungible token trend, which sees artists and name brands alike auctioning exclusive digital images and other types of files for big bucks.
