The TRUE Story Of How I Went From Being A Broke Student With No Direction…To Building A Life Of Financial, Time & Location Freedom Thanks To Crypto

Hi, My Name Is Niklas Pedde

and for the first time ever, I'll take you behind the scenes and reveal:

"How exactly I went from being a broke student with no clue about life — to waking up with crypto profits, traveling the world, and living a life of true freedom."
PLUS: I'll also show you how I turned small, smart investments into a system that now works for me — even while I sleep.

Maybe you've seen me on Instagram or TikTok:

And you're probably thinking:
  • Traveling to new countries every month
  • Driving cars I once dreamed about
  • Living in Dubai
  • Working from cafés on the beach
  • ​And simply living life on my own terms​
"How the hell can someone my age live this lifestyle… just from crypto?"
-

But I knew one thing for sure:


I didn't want to spend 40 years working for someone else, just to retire broke.

I wanted freedom — to work from anywhere, earn in my sleep, and live life on my own terms.

Well, let me take you back to the beginning.

Back In 2017/2018 — I Was Just A Normal Student…

I grew up in an average family, in a small town.

No fancy background. No connections. No "lucky break."

I spent my days playing computer games, scrolling social media, and wondering what I was going to do with my life.

I saw people my age making money online and thought:

"Is that even real?"

I had no confidence, no business idea, and no money — maybe €1,000 saved up from small jobs.

The only thing I knew was that The System Isn't For Me...

Yes, that´s right:
The Moment Everything Changed
  • One night, scrolling through YouTube, I found a video titled: "How Bitcoin Changed My Life."
  • It hit me.
  • I went down the crypto rabbit hole. I read books, watched videos, joined Discord groups, and studied everything about Bitcoin, Ethereum, and blockchain.
  • I didn't understand everything at first — but I understood one thing: This was the future.
Why? Simple...

I was following all these young entrepreneurs on Instagram and YouTube and I saw them travelling the world, driving cool cars, staying in 5 star hotels, having fun and simply living a life of Freedom.

I wanted the same lifestyle!

My First Investment
In 2018, I bought my first Bitcoin. It wasn't much — just a few hundred euros.

But when I saw the price rise… something changed in me.

It wasn't about the money — it was about possibility.

I started studying market cycles, learning about DeFi, altcoins, staking, NFTs — everything.

Every euro I earned from side jobs, I reinvested in crypto.

I made mistakes. I lost money.

But I learned.

And in 2020–2021, when the market exploded, my life changed forever.

From Student To Financial Freedom

The profits from my crypto investments allowed me to:
  • Quit my job
  • Move to Dubai
  • Travel across Europe and Asia
  • ​Build my own online brand
  • And most importantly — create freedom of time, money, and location
I went from checking my phone for Instagram likes…

to checking notifications like:

"+$1,200 profit from overnight trades"

"Staking rewards received"

That's when I realized:

Crypto wasn't just an investment. It was a mindset shift.

Another problem was, that I Didn'T Have Any Money to pay for products, advertising or fancy equipment...

Yes, I was a broke student.

I maybe had 1,500 or 2,000 EUROS that I saved up from delivering news paper, cutting grass, christmas and birthdays and buying china noodles for 50 cents and selling them for 1 EUR in the small town I grew up in.

The fact that all the business models that these "GuRus" were talking about needed so much upfront capital made me a little depressed, but I knew that there had to be a way to start an online business:

The New Reality
  • Now I wake up every morning in Dubai, drink my coffee overlooking the skyline, and work on projects I'm passionate about — not because I have to, but because I want to.
  • I've helped friends and students learn how to build wealth through crypto the smart way — without gambling or hype — just education, mindset, and strategy.
  • And if I could do it — starting broke, confused, and scared — anyone can.
That's when I started analyzing all these people I was following on Instagram, YouTube and Twitter — the ones who were actually making money with crypto.

I asked myself:

"What do they all have in common?"
& "How are they profiting when everyone else is just watching from the sidelines?"

So, I locked myself in my room, spent hours every night studying charts, blockchain projects, and watching endless videos about Bitcoin, Ethereum, and new altcoins.

And then… BOOM!

It clicked.


They weren't just buying coins — they were building knowledge, strategy, and conviction.

They understood how money really works, how to manage risk, how to hold long-term, and how to use every market cycle to grow.

That was it.

It wasn't luck. It wasn't timing.

It was about education and consistency.

That's when I decided to go all in

— to study crypto seriously, to learn from the best, and to treat it like a real business.

That decision changed everything.

I now only had to find a way to make money without showing myself online and without creating my own product...

— because honestly, I was shy, and I knew everyone from school would make fun of me if they saw me trying to "be an entrepreneur" on social media.

Instead of wasting hours consuming random content, I used social media as my classroom.

Every post, every video, every tweet — was a new lesson about money, investing, and financial freedom.

And that's how I discovered crypto — the opportunity to build wealth, even as a nobody, from my laptop, without followers and without a product.
So, long story short… after doing some research and after watching countless YouTube videos about how to start investing in crypto, I decided to give it a try.

I opened my first exchange account, downloaded a few wallet apps, and started buying small amounts of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

WITHOUT any success hahaha…

Okay, at that point it wasn't funny.

I was literally kinda depressed — because I was spending ALL day learning about crypto, charts, projects, whitepapers… and yet, I kept losing money.

I was watching tutorials, joining Telegram groups, trying to "time the market", staying up late at night reading news about coins that would pump "soon"…

And guess what?

No results.

One day I'd make €50 profit, and the next day I'd lose €70.

It was exhausting.
But hey, after about 8 months of trial and error, something finally clicked.

I stopped chasing "quick money" and started focusing on long-term strategy, risk management, and real projects — not hype.

That's when everything changed.

My small investments started to grow… and I finally hit my own "GOLDEN" moment — when my portfolio passed

the first €10,000 mark

I was so happy..

But still kinda depressed on the other side, because I didn't make ANY money.

Yes that's right, 8 months of hard work and I didn´t make a single penny.

No problem right?

"Because success takes time"...
WRONG!

Wrong, Because My Mum Started Getting Pissed...

My grades in school got worse and worse and I even thought about dropping out of school and told my mum soooo many times that I'd NEVER EVER work in a normal job after school.

She probably thought I was crazy and we had soooo many arguments at home about it
Until one day the "funny arguments" and discussions were over.

My mum asked me to come into the kitchen, and from the look in her eyes I could tell she was DEAD serious…

She said:

"Niklas, if you can't show me that this crypto thing is a real business, then you HAVE TO go to university or get a 'real job' after school. There's no 'chilling at home' and staring at charts all day. After school, real life starts!"

That's when I knew that I Had To Go ALL IN

I had to figure out how to actually make money with crypto investing.

There was no other option.

I had to prove my parents wrong — and also all the people from school who laughed when I told them I was studying blockchain projects instead of textbooks.

After trying to figure everything out on my own for over 8 months and losing more than I earned, I finally put my ego (which was bigger than Mount Everest) to the side and decided to get a mentor — someone who was already profitable, already living from crypto.

That's when everything changed
I invested all the money I had into crypto education — online courses, mentorships, and 1-on-1 calls with successful investors and traders.

I studied everything — from technical analysis and market psychology, to blockchain technology and risk management.

Then, I took all that knowledge, combined it with my own experience and mistakes, and developed my own investment strategy.


It worked…

My portfolio started growing faster than ever before.

At first, small gains — 2%, then 5%, then 10%…

Then the market started moving, and my strategy finally paid off.

Some weeks I was up a few hundred euros… other weeks, a few thousand.

And for the first time, I felt like I actually understood what I was doing.
But the best part?

I also started diversifying my income — earning from staking, DeFi projects, NFTs, and affiliate partnerships with crypto platforms I believed in.

That's when I realized…

Crypto wasn't just an investment — it was a skill.

Since Then Life Has Simply Been A Movie

I kept learning about crypto, refining my strategy, and growing my portfolio — all while still finishing school.

Bit by bit, my investments started paying off.

Every month, I was making more than before — not from a job, but from smart decisions and patience.

Eventually, I reached a point where I could finally do what I had always dreamed of:

travel the world and work from anywhere.

One of my first big trips was to Australia with a close friend — and man, that was surreal.

I was literally living the crypto lifestyle

checking charts in the morning, taking profits on the beach, and spending the rest of the day exploring the most beautiful places in Australia.

That's when it really hit me:

All those long nights studying and all those early mistakes were worth it.

Then, at the beginning of 2019, everything leveled up again…

I became business partners with one of my mentors — someone who had been guiding me through the crypto journey —
and soon after, I made one of the biggest moves of my life:

I moved to Dubai at just 18 years old.

FUN FACT:

The first 5–6 months of 2020, I literally worked less than 15 minutes a day (I was the laziest person ever haha — ask my friends lol) and still managed to grow my crypto portfolio and earn passive income from staking and long-term holdings.

It felt unreal — I was living proof that with the right mindset, patience, and strategy, you could build financial freedom even starting with nothing.

(that was sooo epic — especially because I crashed hers back in 2018 lol xD).

At the beginning of 2021, I finally moved into my dream apartment in Dubai — the view, the energy, the lifestyle… everything I had ever visualized.

That year was insane.

I scaled my crypto portfolio, diversified into DeFi projects, NFTs, and startups, and automated most of my investments so that everything ran almost on autopilot.

I met so many amazing people in the crypto space — founders, investors, traders — people who completely changed the way I think about money and business.

FUN FACT: The first 5-6 month of 2020 I literally Worked Less Than 15 Minutes A Day (I was the laziest person ever haha - ask my friends lol) and still managed to Keep My Business Running with Just my personal brand...

It was crazy… I'd wake up, check my portfolio, maybe rebalance a few positions, and that was it.

My money was working harder than I was.

During that time, I hit one of my biggest milestones — my first six-figure portfolio.

So, as a reward to myself…
  • I bought my first Rolex
  • celebrated the milestone with a few friends in Dubai
  • ​and finally moved into my own apartment — paid entirely from my crypto profits
  • ​​Traveled with friends to the Maldives
  • hosted my first in-person mastermind in Dubai
  • ​​and even checked off a few lifelong dreams…
  • ​Bought my dream cars — a G63 AMG and a Lamborghini Huracán.
  • And...

  • Bought my first Rolex as a reward
  • ​Moved into my first apartment
  • ​​Traveled to Capetown with friends
  • Surprised my mum with a brand new car for christmas (that was soooo epic, especially because I crashed hers in 2018 lol xD)
  • ​​Moved into my dream apartment at the beginning of 2021
  • ​Scaled my Theme Pages 
  • ​Grew them to millions of followers
  • And completely Automated ALL of my Theme Pages
  • ​Got to know soooo many amazing people
  • ​Traveled to the Maledives with friends
  • ​Hosted an In-Person Mastermind here in Dubai...
  • ​Bought my dream cars (A G63 AMG & Lamborghini Huracan)

Kept Growing My Business And Managed To Scale It While Traveling Through Italy With Friends

Now in 2022 I simply live the life I always dreamed about... A life of True Freedom and...
