I Quit My Amazon Delivery Driver Job – Now I’m Trading Crypto for Millions

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

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

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

But he started looking askance at his 14-hour shifts when he discovered a cryptocurrency blogger who was finding success with a digital coin called Verge – then Bhatty made the life-changing decision to invest his entire savings, around $800, in Verge.

His investment soon rose to a balance of over $35,000.

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

Realizing that he was making more in one day with crypto than he would in a year at Amazon, he immediately quit to pursue his newfound hustle.

Kaif Bhatty went from a low-wage worker to a crypto mogul in a matter of weeks, he told Jam Press.

Bhatty delivers a parcel — He worked grueling shifts with long days at Amazon as a driver before discovering the Verge coin.

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

Although short-lived—the coin’s value dropped, to about $355, as quickly as it rose—his brief victory only fueled his desire for success.

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

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

It was the first time Bhatty, who struggled to get interested in his studies at university, had felt so passionate about his prospects. He recalled feeling belittled by professors who only “humiliated and degraded” him for his poor performance.

Despite his academic shortcomings, his parents called his switch to crypto a “fool’s errand.”

“My parents had no idea what crypto was, so they were a little hesitant about me just throwing everything in to pursue it,” he 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 gave me advice and supported me as they always have.”

Bhatty and peers — Bhatty’s $800 investment turned into $600,000 in just eight months.

Their support paid off. Within weeks of his new venture, he scored nearly $12,000. After 8 months, he made almost $600,000. In a year he made his first million. But the triumph came after a rollercoaster ride with soaring highs and lows.

“There were times when I kept increasing my 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 business, stick to a pragmatic formula – and reach £100,000 in profit within four months.”

Due to the volatile nature of the market, the euphoria surrounding crypto successes is usually short-lived, he explained, and Bhatty found it difficult to “balance” his emotions.

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

After joining the millionaires’ club, Bhatty packed up his life and headed for Dubai, where he bought a $500,000 penthouse and a $250,000 Mercedes G Wagon. Meanwhile, he had clients clamoring for consultations.

Now Bhatty can live the life he “always dreamed of” but couldn’t 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 may have felt as lost as him.

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

Bhatty’s adventure comes as the burgeoning crypto sector seeks to establish its legitimacy within the global financial market despite failures, while anticipating new security concerns as cryptocriminals siphon off millions of dollars from unsuspecting investors.

But that hasn’t stopped big name brands from capitalizing on crypto mania – particularly the high-profile NFT (non-fungible token) trend, which sees both artists and name brands auction off exclusive digital photos and other file types for big bucks.
