1. “I bought a Bentley” — Javed Khan, trader
Javed Khan’s investment success began by accident. In 2018, when bitcoin’s price was around $3,000, he was using bitcoin as a method to transfer money because it was easier than using a bank. But whenever he left the bitcoin sitting in his wallet, the price would go up. He saw an opportunity.
Whenever the bitcoin price fell and it was quiet, we would buy more bitcoin. “When nobody’s talking about bitcoin, there’s no headlines, that’s a good time to buy.” He was careful not to extend himself, only investing money he could afford to lose.
In 2020, he cashed in his profits and bought a Bentley. “I sent a video from the showroom to my mum and she cried, she was really proud.”
