Dadvan Yousuf (born 9 April, 2000 in Awihee, Iraq) is a Kurdish entrepreneur from Iraq who lives in Switzerland.
Life
Yousuf was born in Iraqi Kurdistan in 2000. His father was part of the Peshmerga and fled the country to Switzerland before Yousuf was born. Three years later his mother left the country as well, together with her three sons. They arrived in Neuenburg, Switzerland, in 2003 where his father had relocated. In 2004, the family was granted refugee and moved to Ipsach. Yousuf has five younger siblings which were born in Switzerland.
When he first heard about Bitcoin with 11 years old, Yousuf sold some of his toys in his neighborhood in Ipsach, Bern and used the money to invest in Bitcoin. He bought 10 Bitcoins for €15 each and has been trading in Bitcoin ever since. In 2012 he bought 1000 Bitcoins for €11,126 each. In 2016 he invested in Ethereum for the first time, buying 16 000 units for €134 000.
In 2017 he started an apprenticeship at the Eidgenössische Hochschulinstitut für Berufsbildung in Zollikofen. He finished his apprenticeship with a real estate company in Bern. Around the same time, he developed a software for automated trades in cryptocurrencies, based on an algorithm analysing data and predicting fluctuations in the future. The algorithm evaluates data stemming from technical analysis, social media, macroeconomics and public statements about cryptocurrencies.
He founded the Dohrnii Foundation in Zug, which oversees the development of his cryptocurrency software. He also introduced his own cryptocurrency Dohrnii in March 2021. Yousuf became a multi-millionaire through his cryptocurrency trades.
