From an Indonesian student turning his selfies into a multi-million collection and a broke teen artist now earning $4 Million in daily profits, the world of NFTs is filled with crazy success stories of people turning rags to riches. Recently, the NFT holder, under the username ‘reshad’, shared his tale on Twitter. The user claimed to have turned zero dollars into $17 Million in just one and a half years in his crypto journey.
Intrigued by graphic designing At the age of 15, rashed’s NFT journey first began through the sacred weapon of knowledge. Using his savings to learn graphic designing and coding, reshad built a solid foundation, which unbeknownst to him, was his first step in the NFT journey.
As with your average GenZ who is up to date with recent trends, it didn’t take long for reshad to come across the term ‘cryptocurrencies’, and in the summer of 2021, reshad had his first encounter with the mysterious digital assets. From there, a sharp reshad used his technical knowledge to create a crypto sniping bot through which he made several profitable trades. By August 2020, reshad made $200,000 through trades and sold both his sniping bots for a total of $14,000.
Enter NFTs
The non-fungible token boom became reshad’s next conquest. But instead of minting them, reshad decided to open an NFT consulting firm that helped users with designs and marketing campaigns. This earned him another $250,000 in savings. However, his interest within the mainstream market caught wind once again through the Azuki collection and Muramaki flowers.
A curious reshad decided to join the Muramaki flowers’ public raffle for 6751 whitelist spots and used a simple but ingenious method to submit 126,841 entries. “My EXTREME hopium target was $4m.” Eventually, reshad ended up winning 923 entries. This gave him the confidence to eventually join Bored Ape Yacht (BAYC) Club’s NFT release, Otherside.
But doing so wasn’t easy. BAYC had set a KYC compliance procedure and reshad ended up buying 114 wallets for 1 ETH each to maximize his NFT minting chances. Using an NFT spinning bot, he managed to successfully mint on all the wallets simultaneously and within a month, reshad’s profits had increased more than fifty-fold.
The story was all but confirmed by a popular member of the crypto community zachxbt, who used Etherscan to verify several claims made by reshad.
All in all, reshad’s NFT mints and his earlier crypto ventures spiked up his profits by a mammoth $17 Million in less than two years. Currently, reshad is the largest holder of Otherside NFT after Yuga Wallets.
