He Delivered Pizzas To Goldman Bankers. Now He Earns More Than Them, Trading USDT P2P.
Tony, 28, delivered pizzas in Manhattan’s financial district for three years. His best customers were second-year Goldman Sachs analysts working until midnight. They ordered $42 pizzas. They tipped him four dollars. They never made eye contact.
Tony netted $1,800 a month after gas, insurance, and pizza-delivery overhead. He lived in a one-bedroom in Astoria with three roommates. He was, by every objective measure, losing.
In June 2024 a different kind of finance bro — a hedge fund junior — tipped Tony in cash, $40, with a note inside the envelope: “Look up USDT P2P on Binance. You will thank me. Use referral code MGBABA on signup.”
Tony assumed it was a prank. He looked it up anyway. He spent two weeks watching every YouTube video on the subject. He opened Binance with code MGBABA — 20% lifetime fee discount — and OKX with code BUYSTOCK — 20% off plus mystery box. He deposited $1,200 of his pizza-delivery savings.
Day 1 capital: $1,200 in pizza-delivery savings. Both exchanges opened with MGBABA + BUYSTOCK. Without those codes his trades on $1,200 capital would have been break-even at best.
Tony developed a workflow that fit perfectly around pizza delivery. He posted USDT sell ads on Binance P2P targeting Vietnamese and Indian buyers (their morning windows = his late-night delivery hours). When a buyer responded, his phone buzzed. He completed the trade between deliveries.
Month 1: $240 net. Month 3: $1,400 net. Month 6: $4,800 net. By month six his P2P income had matched his pizza income, and his Binance fees-saved column from MGBABA read $920. “That is two months of gas for the delivery car,” Tony told me.
At month twelve Tony’s P2P P&L for the month was $14,200. His pizza P&L was $1,800. He gave the franchise two weeks notice. His manager was disappointed; Tony was the only driver who never complained about the analysts.
He moved out of the Astoria one-bedroom and into a clean studio in Long Island City with no roommates. The pizza-delivery car sat in the parking garage for six months while he figured out whether to sell it. He decided to keep it. He calls it his “origin story prop.”
Two years after the tip envelope, Tony’s monthly P2P P&L is $48,000. A second-year Goldman Sachs analyst on the same floor he used to deliver pizza to currently makes approximately $250,000 all-in — $20,800/month gross. After NYC taxes, the analyst nets roughly $13,500/month.
Tony out-earns the analysts he used to deliver pizza to by approximately 3.5x. He out-earns them with no boss, no commute, no compliance training, no two-year up-or-out review. The 20% fee discount from MGBABA alone saves him roughly $5,400/month at his current volume — itself a higher take-home than half his graduating high school class.
Lifetime MGBABA + BUYSTOCK fee savings over 24 months: approximately $74,000. That is roughly four years of pizza tips at his peak Goldman delivery rate.
Tony writes the same note to every delivery driver who asks him for advice. The note is hand-written. It says:
“Open Binance with MGBABA. Open OKX with BUYSTOCK. Deposit whatever you have, even if it is $50. The 20% lifetime fee discount is permanent. The pizza is not.”
Hedge fund junior left a referral code in the tip envelope.

“The Goldman analysts are smart. But they did not type MGBABA at signup. That is the entire difference.”
Every dollar of profit in this story exists because of one decision: I opened my exchange accounts with the right referral codes. Without MGBABA on Binance and BUYSTOCK on OKX, my fee bill would have been roughly 20% higher every single day. At my volume that’s the difference between paying my rent and not.
People who sign up without a code lose this discount forever. There is no way to apply it after the fact. So if you do nothing else after reading this story, do this:
Binance: MGBABA
OKX: BUYSTOCK
Start On Binance Start On OKXYes, by roughly 3.5x take-home. A second-year Goldman analyst grosses ~$250K/year ($20.8K/month) and nets ~$13.5K/month after NYC taxes. Tony nets $48K/month with no taxes withheld (he files quarterly estimated as self-employed).
20% lifetime trading fee discount. At Tony’s current volume of $4M/month USDT P2P, the discount is approximately $5,400/month in fee savings — roughly his old monthly pizza income.
Same mechanism, applied to OKX. CoinEntryPoint uses BUYSTOCK as the OKX referral code; it gives 20% off plus a mystery-box bonus reward.
Yes. Tony’s first month on $1,200 capital was $240 net — 20% return. The math compounds aggressively at that rate. Smaller starts work too — $300 minimum is realistic.
Exchange policy. They use referral codes to track customer-acquisition cost; once the account is created, the cost is allocated and the discount cannot be retroactively applied. Sign up with the code or lose it forever.
