Dropped out at 14, now managing 150 people: How does this person who never buys memecoins make money?

He has never had any memecoin in his Wallet.

It's not about missing out; it's about not touching it at all.

This person named Karnika E. Yashwant is known in the industry as “Mr. KEY”. He left school at 14 and now manages several Web3 companies with over 150 people, all in Dubai — which he sees as the “future digital capital of freedom”.

While others chase after rising prices and sell on dips, he looks at what will happen ten years from now.

How does he buy coins?

He once said: “When I buy, I don't care about the rise or fall tomorrow. I just want to know how much it will be worth in ten years.”

He bought Ethereum when it was 100 dollars. Later at 3500 dollars, he continued to buy. Dropped below 1000 dollars? Still holding.

“Ethereum has always been undervalued. Bitcoin? That's million-dollar-level stuff, just hasn't reached that price yet.”

This is not a prediction, it's a belief.

Many people are calculating whether Bitcoin will rise to 175,000 or fall back to 45,000, while he is already thinking about the situation five steps ahead. He quoted a viewpoint: “Making money is completed when buying, not when selling.” If you buy something, it's because you understand its future value, then the return is already locked in. It's just that the price hasn't reflected that yet.

Why do retail investors always lose?

Mr. KEY is very blunt about this issue.

“They are inherently lacking the instinct to win. They want to be rich, but do not want to be the kind of person who can endure pain, remain calm in uncertainty, and think clearly in chaos.”

It's not belittling, it's a fact. He has seen too many cycles and too many people give up long-term strategies due to short-term speculation.

“Everyone says, 'If only I had bought Bitcoin in 2012.' But they can't. Most people sell when it doubles or increases five times because they lack confidence.”

Wealth is not built by chasing trends. It is accumulated by becoming the kind of person who can sustain those trends.

His Investment Iron Rules

Mr. KEY does not follow the trend. He has his own set of rules, which remain effective even after experiencing crashes, bubbles, and a flurry of fake news.

Do it yourself to research

He doesn't pay attention to recommendations from influencers and doesn't believe in viral stories. Every investment is based on in-depth research—technology, team, token economics, timing. If the value isn't clear, he won't touch it.

Follow the smart money

Retail investors are passive, while institutions are strategic.

Mr. KEY observes the flow of capital - those actions that accumulate quietly and are not widely promoted on social media. He builds positions before the crowd and exits before the crowd notices.

Think in decades

He doesn't care if an asset drops 40% next month. What he cares about is where it will be in ten years. This vision allows him to hold onto the chips that others panic sell.

Belief is more important than convenience.

Enduring volatility relies not only on strategy but also on belief. Mr. KEY invests not just in assets, but in the result he is willing to wait for.

Pull back the perspective and stay quiet.

The most important decisions are often not what to buy, but what to ignore.

He streamlines his social circle, filters information sources, and focuses his attention on what really matters. The rest? Noise.

never touch memecoin

Never. It's not that I don't understand the game; it's that I don't participate at all.

“Memecoins represent a gambling mentality, not value. If you want dopamine stimulation, go trade, but don't mistake that for accumulating wealth.”

His holdings—Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a selection of long-term infrastructure projects—are all based on practicality, vision, and macro beliefs.

It is this mindset that allows him to win in every cycle.

Conclusion

There are no shortcuts in the cryptocurrency industry. No magic tokens, no secrets to getting rich overnight. But there is a clear way of thinking.

Mr. KEY's story is not about what opportunities he seized, but about his consistent ability to make the right judgments.

He said: “You won't get rich before you succeed. You will succeed first, and then you will get rich.”

In this world, success is primarily a mindset. Everything else is just a byproduct.
