I grew up in Detroit with nothing. I went to Wharton, worked at Deutsche Bank, got fired, discovered Bitcoin, and built a billion-dollar company. America is wild.
Nobody gave me a building. Nobody gave me a contact list. Nobody gave me a family trust fund. I started with a $2 million government contract at 27 and built an $8 billion portfolio. That is what is possible in America if people get out of your way.
I grew up in federally subsidized housing. I know what it's like to live on the other side of the American Dream.
I arrived in America at age 9 speaking no English. Started a fund with $2.3 million. Now we manage $20 billion. The American Dream is real.
I came from Nazareth to Michigan to Beverly Hills. Only in America.
I came to America with $500 and washed dishes for $1.20 an hour. This country gave me everything.
I came to America with $50 in my pocket. The American dream is real. If you work hard and you have a vision, this country rewards that.
