Quinten François journey from working in McDonald’s to being a crypto expert and author is quite impressive.
We have heard of several success stories in the past which have amazed us, but this one stood out from the rest in many ways as it comprises of someone who was working at McDonald’s, who paved his path towards success through focus and hard work, and is today listed amongst the top crypto influencers whose YouTube channel ‘Young And Investing’ has drawn in humongous following owing to his exceptional industry knowledge and skills which he shares with the audiences. We spoke to this popular social media icon about how he walked his journey from being an employee of the popular fast food restaurant to becoming a famous crypto influencer who has even written a book on cryptocurrencies which has turned out to be a best seller.
Quinten says he started investing when he was just 16 years old, learning the workings of the market in depth. In 2017, he came across cryptocurrencies and started investing in them. That was the time when Bitcoin was at $950 per BTC and Ethereum at $40 per $ETH. He invested $3000 in them and a few went 100x in the same year alone, which unfortunately crashed during the best market in 2018. He was working at McDonald’s at that time and to focus more on investing, he left the job and went ahead to create a YouTube channel called ‘Young And Investing’, which received an overwhelming response right from its first upload.
The positive response that he kept receiving boosted his confidence which resulted in him uploading many more informative videos which earned him a massive subscriber base within just 6 months, numbering up to more than 10,000. However, during the market crash his invested amount went to almost nil, throwing him off track, affecting him mentally too. Not losing hope, he went ahead and wrote a book on cryptocurrencies named ‘De Bitcoinrevolutie’ in 2019, which went on to become the best-selling book in Dutch, which catapulted him to towering heights again. Today, his YouTube channel has amassed more than 150,000 subscribers, and his Twitter has more than 75,000 followers, same with his Facebook group which has over 125,000 members.
Today, apart from being a popular YouTuber, he is also doing exceptionally well in crypto trading too. “There might be a lot of hurdles and difficulties coming in your way, but you need to keep on treading ahead till you find your path to success. Being focussed and determined will only get you the desired position,” says Quinten as a parting shot.
