A 19-year-old native of Somalia was able to become a cryptocurrency millionaire, after which he quit two jobs and created his own token for charity.

What is known

Khanad Hussein and his family now live in Birmingham. He moved to the UK from Somalia a few years ago due to constant fighting. At the beginning of last year, Hussein, being a law student, worked two jobs and decided to invest part of his salary in cryptocurrency.

He invested £37 which turned into £370 three days later. A couple of days later, the investment increased to £3,700. What kind of cryptocurrency Hussein invested in is not specified, but we can talk about some kind of meme tokens, given the 100-fold rise in price in five days.

After the success, the student quit both jobs and studies in order to devote more time to cryptocurrency [ed. gg does not recommend dropping out.] The former student eventually became a millionaire, earning £6,000,000 and was able to move into his own apartment.

Hussein, together with a friend, decided to help the community. To do this, they created their own digital currency Orfano. The project transfers 3% of investments to charity.
