How I Quit My Job to Build a $32 Million Crypto Empire in an Untapped Market

And Lived to Tell the Tale

For us, 1 in 3 flights have been booked using crypto since our inception with more than 1,000 total flights dating back to early 2021, with a total revenue of $32m.

If you are building a crypto startup and you are wondering how this was possible, well let me tell you something little about Kyle Patel.

First off, He is a man who loves woodwork and throwing paintballs, and in February 2018, he quit his job to build Bitlux (a private aviation brand) full-time. I said that to let you know that achieving even more results is quite possible.

It all started when a famous personality in the crypto space needed to fly quickly on a Saturday and had only Bitcoin to pay.

It was a big trip that cost about $140,000 at that time, and you know how banks can be when it comes to withdrawing such a huge sum on a Saturday.

Plus the client needed to be in Europe no later than 7 am on Monday. It was quite tight and the stakes were high.

And well, that was the spark that set it off.

You could say the client could have used a credit card, but how many people carry credit cards with $200k worth?
