So I quit my 90k a year job to trade crypto and became a millionaire 7 months later

Yup as the title reads, I quit my 90k a year job to trade crypto full time. Now I know most of you are thinking this guy is an idiot and took a huge gamble, I am and I did but boy did I get Lucky.

So this is how the story goes.

In December of 2016 the was an attempt to scam me using bitcoin as payment. At the time I had never heard of it but instantly was curious. so I spent the next 2 weeks researching before I finally spent $1900 on some bitcoin. I spent the next 2 months learning about cryptocurrencies​ and how to navigate exchanges

In May of 2017, ​ I had begun my 4th month of crypto trading and struck gold. I had purchased a larger sum of Antshare/Neo before it rebranded and made a large sum of funds. At that point I spoke with my wife and she was willing to allow me 6 months to make it happen. So I went full nerd, I was getting up at 5 am reading everything crypto. On my break, I woul​d have different​ crypto related interviews playing in the background and it stayed like this for 3 months.

Fast forward to September, and this is where I realized that crypto isn't just about knowledge, it's about connections. I had come in contact with a now good friend @dream-o and we began to share ideas and trading tip. well, ​let's just say in one month I had tripled my years salary working with him.

Moving on to November/December I sat down with my wife and told her the exciting new, we could possibly hit 1 million by the summer of 2018, and she was super excited. little did we know, crypto was about to go bonkers. My portfolio started rising 70-80k every couple of days until it finally happened.

We had broken a Million 7 months ahead of schedule. I couldn't​ believe it, I couldn't eat for the next 2 days I​ was that excited. Once the excitement wore down, I​ had to make a tough decision, Keep holding or secure major​ profits. We decided to pull 30% of our holdings and ride the rest out.

The reason we chose 30% was to cover all of our debts ( Mortgage, student loans, 2 cars and cc) and have a nice lump sum cash. After doing so, crypto decided to go for a 2nd round of madness and I found myself in the 7 figure crypto club again. So we took another 20% out, lucky for us this turned into a great deal as bitcoin plunged from all time highs to some pre-December​ prices. I have since restored some fiat into crypto and will be pulling soon as I only did it for some short term gains.

As of now, ​I don't do much day trading, I invest in ICOs and collect payments from my master nodes​. I have picked my long term horses and I​ plan to ride them to the end. If taken seriously crypto can change your​ life, but at the same time fools will lose every penny the own. Thank you for joining me.

There are plenty details I didn't dive too deep into but if you have questions comment and Ill answer below.
Also I had posted this before understanding​ how steemit worked and am now hoping it has a bigger impact and understandinf of I.

7 millions in one year is amazing :) what was your base investment?
also i know dream-o too ;)

it's 1 million in 7 months.... and the base investment was 90k, as written in the blog title

Base investment was $1900

No... his job was 90K/year which he quit, he didn't invest 90K

1 million in 1 year and base was $1900. @dream-o is a good friend of mine. Ask him how much this nutcase made home this year lol

ya definitely possible.. i saw my brother start with only 500 bucks and made it into 6k in just 3 weeks in december of 2017.. if he got in a year earlier he would be in the same spot too i bet!

Oh I believe it

amazing results ;)

You earned a follower and I don't do it very often. This story is different and so real that I just can't stop reading.

Thank you my friend, been a long journey.

Thanks for sharing and inspiring. I'll check out your channel tomorrow. It's definitely true that with careful monitoring and quick reactions, we can build up the pots quickly.. but just a few hours of not paying attention can result in the reverse too in some cases!

By the way, I notice that you only have one witness vote cast - for Teamsteem - who I also vote for (we are on the same team, for sure). I'd be greatly appreciative if you would consider also voting for my witness server, you'd be helping me to help the community grow and evolve in helpful ways.

Thank you. And I’ll check you out for sure

I think i will buy Masternodes now .. lol

Good idea, avoid the scams

Good story.

Nice to hear your success story! I am in a similar position only I have not quite hit $1m yet and I did not have a job starting off (That is because I am only 17 y/o). I started with crypto a couple months before I turned 16 and it changed my life. I now live solely from my crypto earnings and quite comfortably. I now earn more than my household combined and am on track to becoming Scotlands youngest self-made millionaire! Thank you for sharing your story and I look forward to hopefully sharing my own!

This is also a great story. Congrats, kid. Be smart with your money, make it work for you. Enjoy it too because life is short, but don't waste it all either. More generic advice for the boy genius.

Congratulations my friend. At 16 I was spending all of my money on call of duty and Halo LOL. honestly congrats, I ask that you be wise and put a good amount away and strategically invest in things outside of crypto as well.

Wow! On the one hand, I'm very happy for you, and proud of you for seeing the opportunity you have with crypto. On the other hand, I'm suffering from old man jealousy! If only I had such an opportunity at age 17!!!

smart teen, keep it up

i have started following you just await when you shall post your story because i will love to hear it.

Gratz buddy, im right there with you lol No more work. lol

OMG dreams come true.. I wish I could be there one day.. started in may 2017 but made some stupid mistakes.. So i million is a dream.. I don't think it will happen..

We all made some tough mistakes, we just have to bounce back as quickly as possible and keep it moving.

Wow wow wow... Just wow.
I don't know where you stay anyway but down here in nigeria it's kinda bad when employers try to measure your value with academic qualification and size. I went sourcing for a job not too long ago could you believe I was offered approximately $15 when my data charges only is up-to $18-20 dollars. That's how people work for over 35years and go home with nothing!!

well crypto is a good market, atleast it pays you for your knowledge and time. And the best story is that I found it(steemit only) when my account statement was just $3. Thank God now I've diversified cos you can't lay all your eggs in a basket.

Recently I just took up a 3day class on crypto trading and I want to go to another soon. There's no limit to what you can achieve. BTW I'd love us to chat on discord @peterakpan1582, take care.

Wow! Amazing story! How much did you invest?

Started with $1900.

How much total did you invest? Did you put more money in later on?

Dude you have no idea how good it is to hear that someone that I talk to on steemit actually got to experience that. I keep hearing about millionaires being made by crypto but it's not real to me. What is real to me is to see that people with real life problems had there problems sorted out by their sound investment strategy.
It does my heart good to hear about your fortune and your timing for sharing it is perfect. More people need to share these kind of real experiences, particularly when the market takes a hit.

My man it has been one hell of a jouney and I hope It give you the desire to keep pushing forward with research and sound investing. Am I perfect HELL NO!!! which mean that this story can easily be replicated.

Thanks for sharing it man and also for the encouragement. I, like a lot of people in cryptosphere need every bit of it.

Seriously man. That's a good story. What are your holding for the long term? I'm so impatient when it comes to trading that I always get things wrong. So I'm a "fool" losing money. I'm still not negative but I'm not getting anywhere. Due to my impulsive trading habits, I'm loading stuff in vaults....Were you trading in shares before?

Long term holds are.
