From Crypto to Campus: How Oluwatobi’s Daily Trades Pay His Tuition

When you sit down with Ogunleke Oluwatobi, you realize pretty quickly that he’s not your average student. “I’m a student and a Quidaxian,” he begins with a grin. While most students juggle part-time jobs, Oluwatobi funds his education and even invests in land — all thanks to crypto trading.

It all started with a friend’s recommendation. “I was already into crypto, but the exchanges I used were too complicated. Then, my friend introduced me to Quidax and showed me how easy it was to use,” Oluwatobi recalls. He was hooked after seeing the platform’s order book feature. “As a trader, I don’t want to wait around. I want to trade and move on. Quidax made that easy.”

His early days in the crypto world, however, weren’t exactly smooth sailing. “My first experience was rough,” he says, shaking his head. “A friend told me about this coin, and I invested, but it dropped so bad, I lost everything. I ended up selling at a loss. That hit me hard, and I had to step away from trading for two months just to recover.”

But like most traders, he bounced back and found his rhythm. And with Quidax in his corner, trading became second nature. His favorite feature? The order book. “I can trade fast — really fast,” he says. “Compared to other exchanges, it’s much easier. No unnecessary waiting.”

Oluwatobi’s crypto earnings have not only kept him afloat financially, but they’ve also allowed him to make significant life moves. “I’ve paid my school fees with my crypto profits, and I even secured a piece of land.” That’s a major achievement for anyone, let alone a student.

Unlike many who prefer to HODL their coins for long-term gains, Oluwatobi is a daily trader. “I need money for everyday expenses, so I trade daily. The only time I HODL is when there’s a dip that would really hurt me if I sold, but even then, I don’t hold for more than 24 hours.”

When it comes to trading strategy, Oluwatobi keeps it simple. “Do your own research, and make sure you have good capital. The more capital you have, the more profits you can make,” he advises. His top coins? Bitcoin, QDX, TRX, and XRP.

But even a seasoned trader like Oluwatobi sees room for improvement. “If I could change one thing on Quidax, it would be having an additional feature like Stop Loss so I can limit potential losses before the price drops too much.

Oluwatobi says he’s a proud member of the Quidax Telegram community. “I’m part of the group. The giveaways and airdrops have helped me in more ways than one,” he shares. In fact, Quidax has come through for him during tough times. “In 2022, I was financially down. I had spent all my trading capital on personal issues, and I was left with only ₦50,000. Then, Quidax had an anniversary raffle, and I won another ₦50,000. That helped me get back on my feet.”

When it comes to lessons learned from trading, Oluwatobi’s advice is clear: “Know when to leave the market. The market isn’t going anywhere, so I buy a coin, trade it instantly, and move on. Being strategic is key.”

And for anyone still skeptical about crypto? Oluwatobi is a walking testimony. “I’ve convinced at least 10 friends to get into crypto. I always tell them, it’s like buying a bag of rice for ₦50,000 and then selling it for ₦60,000 later. Yes, there are risks, but if you’re smart and strategic, the rewards can be huge. I’ve registered about 15 friends on Quidax, using my referral code. I even got friends using other exchanges to switch over!”

For Oluwatobi, Quidax isn’t just a platform—it’s a lifeline. “Quidax stands out because it’s safe, simple, and the features aren’t as complex as other exchanges. They’ve helped me out in tough situations, and for that, I’m really grateful.”
