Inarguably, being born to privilege has its advantages. It does not only allow aspirants to dream farther than they could imagine, but it also enables dreamers to succeed without the need to worry about having adequate resources and the right connections. However, if there is one thing that established authorities and highly accomplished personalities that come from humble beginnings could prove, it is the feasibility to translate any vision into reality so long as they persevere and have faith. Through his tale of trials and triumphs, esteemed entrepreneur Khalid Ahmed wants to send across a message of hope to aspirants all over the world.
Better known as ISELLCOIN in the digital space, Khalid Ahmed is a 24-year-old visionary whose passion rests on the thought of bringing his family out of a financial crisis. When he was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the age of nine, medical bills began pouring in, which forced his parents to give up their home in Victorville, California. This series of unfortunate events led Khalid to forge the goal of never putting his family in the same position ever again.
Fueled by a purpose-driven goal, Khalid Ahmed persevered and made money at a young age. By flipping graphics cards when he was in high school, he managed to make a living out of it, which tremendously helped his family soldier through a financial crisis. “Every day, after school, I flipped old computer parts that I had lying around to help my parents,” shared Khalid. However, the power player realized that it was not enough. Thus, he looked for more ways to earn income and found interest in investing in Bitcoin. Khalid began using 50% of his profits to invest in Bitcoin while working at a movie theater. Years down the road, he sold some of his Bitcoin and earned a hefty profit, which enabled this go-getter to buy his family a house in West Covina, California.
Over the years, Khalid Ahmed continued to emerge triumphantly in his pursuits. Apart from his Bitcoin investment, he expanded his flipping business, which included complete video game rigs. “My business was doing well so I began contacting suppliers from China,” the emerging entrepreneur shared. This opened a lot of doors of opportunities for Khalid, which led him to kick-start other e-commerce businesses, such as a Marvel- and DC-inspired pocket knife online shop, an outdoor niche company, and a weighted blanket store.
Proving worthy of his emerging reputation across the entrepreneurial realm, Khalid Ahmed has also begun to dip his toes into the world of NFTs. He is also an investor of an exclusive gym called Dogpound. With his grit, passion, and determination to succeed, he is bound to propel himself to greater heights.
Armed with the message that the limits of nature and nurture can be broken down by faith, determination, and fortitude, Khalid Ahmed plans to inspire change in others, maneuver them in the right direction, and motivate them through his tale of trials and triumphs. By doing so, he wishes to see more success stories from those who beat the odds.
