STORY OF LUCKY TRADER ■
Story of a Lucky Crypto Trader: “The Pizza Boy Turned Millionaire”
Name: Ryan Thompson
Age when started trading: 22
Location: Ohio, USA
Nickname in the crypto world: "Crypto Pizza"
🍕 The Humble Start
Ryan Thompson was a regular pizza delivery guy, making just enough to pay rent and support his college dreams. One evening in late 2016, a customer tipped him $5 and mentioned,
“Ever heard of Bitcoin? It’ll be bigger than gold someday.”
Curious and a bit inspired, Ryan used his next week's tip money—$150—to buy Bitcoin at $750 each.
🚀 The Unexpected Rise
By the end of 2017, his $150 had grown to $3,000. Shocked and excited, he decided to go all-in.
He sold his old gaming console, borrowed $1,000 from a cousin, and bought more crypto—this time splitting between Ethereum (ETH) and a new project called Chainlink (LINK).
He didn’t trade daily. He just held (HODL) and kept reading about blockchain.
💸 The Real Luck
In 2021, during the bull run:
His Bitcoin became over $20,000
His ETH 10x'ed
And his biggest jackpot: $500 in LINK became over $70,000
His total portfolio: $320,000
🎉 What Did He Do Next?
Instead of blowing it all, Ryan:
Bought a used Tesla
Paid off his cousin with interest
Started a crypto blog
Began mentoring beginners on YouTube: “From Pizza Boy to Crypto Bro”
💬 His Advice:
“I wasn’t smart—I was lucky. But I stayed curious, didn’t panic sell, and never invested what I couldn’t afford to lose.”
🌟 Moral of the Story:
Even small steps, made with curiosity and patience, can lead to life-changing results in crypto. But luck only favors the bold and the educated.
