Khalid Ahmed (born September 4, 1997), popularly known as ISELLCOIN, is an American entrepreneur and angel investor[1]. He is best known for investing in Bitcoin and Ethereum - which is how he built his empire[2]. Currently, Ahmed runs three successful businesses that have international operations[3].

Ahmed has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the business world. Ahmed is the founder of a Weighted Blanket eCommerce store and also heads a computer parts company[4]. Ahmed’s most recent investment as an NFT investor was World of Women and BALMAIN X DOGPOUND BBOLD virtual sneaker[5].

Early life and education

Ahmed was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease at the age of nine, and he went into septic shock shortly after that. This resulted in him spending most of his pre-teen years admitted in the hospital room. His parents were barely able to pay their mortgage while trying to balance out the hospital bills. This eventually caused the family to lose their home in Victorville, CA. During his sophomore year of high school, he was in full remission from my chronic illness. After that, Ahmed decided to help his parents financially[6][7]. During this time he began flipping graphics cards and started earning small amounts of money[8][9].

Ahmed after graduating from Covina high school completed his college education at Mount San Antonio College, UC Irvine, and Cal State Long Beach[10].

Career

As his flipping business took off, Ahmed began using 50 percent of his profits to buy Bitcoin[11]. Eventually, he also took up a second job at a movie theater (Edward’s Cinema in West Covina) to pour extra money into Bitcoin[12]. During this time, Ahmed continued to buy Bitcoin along with shifting his computer part flipping business online through eBay. He also expanded into selling fully-ready video game rigs with graphics cards included.

In the due course of time running a fast-growing eCommerce business, Ahmed also developed business relationships with suppliers in China. This opened the doors to new eCommerce-based businesses such as Marvel / DC-inspired pocket knife online store, Hiking / Outdoor niche-based online store, and Weighted Blanket store[13].

Ahmed is still running his weighted blanket business and his computer parts business in 2022, as well as investing heavily in Bitcoin and Ethereum. He has just begun investing in NFTs as well. World of Women and the BALMAIN X DOGPOUND BBOLD virtual sneaker are two of his most recent purchases. DOG POUND was the recipient of his most recent angel investment, which was used to support a series A financing. DOG POUND is the most exclusive gym in the United States, with Tom Holland and Adriana Lima among its investors[14].

Personal life

Ahmed in his free time loved to fly his Piper Warrior or Cessna or race his cars on the track. Ahmed speaks four languages: English, Hindi, Urdu, and Spanish.
