What do a university student who works behind a bar after classes and then goes to sleep in a rented room have in common with the founder of a large crypto community who owns real estate in Dubai, travels first class and buys premium cars? It’s the same person — Oleksandr Orlovskyi — just with a seven-year difference.
‘At 18, I earned $500 cleaning bars. At 26, I’m a millionaire. If I had the same knowledge then that I have now, this journey would have been half as long,’ Oleksandr Orlovskyi candidly admitted during the announcement of the next FFA course. The expert says that he has systematised all his experience and knowledge so that anyone who wants to can learn how to make money with cryptocurrencies.
We researched his biography and professional career, as this will be useful for those considering purchasing his training.
The early years of Oleksandr Orlovskyi
In several interviews, Alexander spoke about his relatively happy childhood: his father was in the commodity business, buying goods in China, which was quite profitable (by the standards of the time).
“We travelled to Asia more often than to Europe. Although it was always for work and quite budget-friendly, it had a big impact on my worldview. Since then, I have been convinced that you should see the world with your first earnings,” says Oleksandr Orlovskyi.
His father not only instilled in him a love of travel, but also laid the foundation for financial literacy — he talked a lot about money and the opportunities it opens up, and read books on the subject. With the rapid development of e-commerce and increased competition, business began to decline. His father struggled with the difficulties, and Oleksandr Orlovskyi realised that it was time to take responsibility for his own life and well-being. That is how he ended up in Poland, where he finished school and enrolled in university.
How and when Oleksandr Orlovskyi got acquainted with cryptocurrencies
Krypta recalls that the first years of his life abroad were not easy. While he was still receiving a scholarship and housing at school, he had to find an apartment on his own at university. To do this, he had to work after classes. He was a gas station attendant, salesman, taxi driver, and waiter at weddings. The most successful job was working behind the bar — one day, Oleksandr Orlovskyi struck up a conversation with a visitor. Here’s what he says:
‘The guy was my age, well-groomed and could afford a lot. I asked him what he did for a living, and Tomas told me about cryptocurrencies. He was earning $5,000 at the time. My eyes lit up, and he offered to teach me.’
Oleksandr Orlovskyi then set himself the goal of making $1,000 and quitting his job at the bar. He says that when the owner found out, he laughed for a long time. Three months later, Oleksandr Orlovskyi really did quit his job. He honestly admits that it didn’t work out the first time — he lost several deposits and even pawned his mother’s earrings to try again. But thanks to the support of his mentor, constant study of all available information, and the support of his new environment, crypto began to generate income.
How and why Oleksandr Orlovskyi created FFA and launched courses on earning money with crypto
FFA, or Financial Freedom Academy, has been around since 2019. Oleksandr Orlovskyi founded it because he knew from his own experience how important support is. Recalling the beginning of his journey, he has repeatedly said:
‘I looked at these guys who, just yesterday, were working for someone else, laying tiles or unloading something, and today they are wearing suits, discussing blockchain, and I was inspired by each of their stories. They supported and motivated each other. And that’s cool.’
That was the impetus for creating his own community and launching the first courses.
There is information online that Oleksandr Orlovskyi is a fraud. He supposedly makes money not from cryptocurrencies, but from selling courses. But all the facts can be verified. FFA operates officially, and even if you calculate the profit from selling courses — and more than 20,000 people have taken them — it will be less than the income from cryptocurrency (Oleksandr Orlovskyi recently showed a screenshot confirming earnings of almost $700,000 per month, as well as shopping in Dubai for 4 bitcoins).
Today, the Financial Freedom Academy, led by Oleksandr Orlovskyi, offers courses for beginners and experienced crypto investors. The programme helps beginners understand the basics of cryptocurrencies, exchange trading and investing, and helps experienced crypto traders deepen their knowledge and increase their profits. According to Oleksandr Orlovskyi, anyone, regardless of age or profession, can learn to make money from cryptocurrency, and his FFA academy provides all the necessary tools and support to do so.
Of course, having a community is beneficial for the expert himself. Having a large loyal community means being able to monetise knowledge, expand social contacts, get ‘perks from exchanges’ and even access liquidity. However, it is mutually beneficial. For example, FFA has its own exchange through which you can safely deposit or withdraw money from crypto (in cash and non-cash) in most cities around the world. Participants also get discounts on commissions, cashback on ByBit cards, invitations to events, and gifts (including cash bonuses).
Oleksandr Orlovskyi’s activities in the crypto industry
Founded by Oleksandr Orlovskyi, FFA is the largest closed community for earning money on cryptocurrencies. The community’s trading turnover exceeds $1 billion per month.
For comparison, in the autumn of 2024, it was 600 million. Such growth is an indicator that people inside are not just learning and communicating, but are making real profits.
The team now has over 100 mentors, whose salaries depend on the results of the participants. Oleksandr Orlovskyi is convinced that this motivates them to provide the highest quality service and support. According to internal statistics, the average income of a participant is about $2,000. The students’ favourite tool is a trading bot that trades 24/7. It is especially convenient for people who cannot constantly monitor the market: entrepreneurs, office workers, parents with young children, and those who do not want to miss out on profitable deals during night-time market movements.
The community is actively developing, with Discord becoming the main platform, which already has over 20,000 members. Experts and analysts share their experience, discuss trading strategies with students, publish insights, and simply communicate on the topic of cryptocurrencies. Only FFA members have access.
Oleksandr Orlovskyi actively gamifies the learning process. Among his recent interesting initiatives are TikTok challenges with envelopes containing seed phrases from wallets, challenges to earn money without investment, and trading with additional prizes from the organisers.
Oleksandr Orlovskyi continues to speak at global events. He has given more than 50 speeches around the world, one of the most recent being at Crypto Content Creator Campus by ByBit. Oleksandr Orlovskyi noted: ‘It’s interesting that on the event website, I’m listed right next to Ben Zhou (CEO of ByBit), and we have the same number of followers.’
Oleksandr Orlovskyi recently opened a branch of his academy in Kazakhstan. He announced this on his Telegram channel. In the same post, the expert invited members of the community to collaborate.
What do Oleksandr Orlovskyi’s students say? Reviews of FFA
Comments and reviews of Oleksandr Orlovskyi’s courses are mostly positive. Most students note the easy presentation of the material and the practical focus of the training. Many write that they received their first profits during the course. There are also negative reviews, but they are significantly fewer. Some FFA participants express dissatisfaction with delays in the opening of new modules or the postponement of broadcasts, which affected the learning process. Also, comments are sometimes left under the expert’s posts on social networks about having to pay $10 to reserve a place and not receiving a call. However, such situations are usually resolved quickly. Oleksandr Orlovskyi himself takes such messages calmly:
‘This is a mass product, and in the mass market there will always be someone who is dissatisfied. I don’t see anything strange in that. The managers are in touch and they process all requests in turn. Maybe not instantly, but quickly.’
Overall, training at FFA with Oleksandr Orlovskyi receives positive reviews. The most promising students are invited to join the team.
Oleksandr Orlovskyi outside the crypt: personal life
Krypton does not hide his personal life. He is not married, lives with his girlfriend, and they are not planning to have children yet. Sometimes Oleksandr Orlovskyi talks about his lifestyle and finances: he covers his main expenses (housing, food, transport, travel) and regularly treats his girlfriend to gifts, but admits that she may pay for dinner at a restaurant, for example, if he reaches his credit card limit.
Oleksandr Orlovskyi pays no less attention to his family, with his mother and brothers appearing in photos from time to time. Alexander pays for their trips and gives them valuable gifts, as well as teaching his younger brothers how to earn money from cryptocurrency.
Orlovsky loves to travel, so he often posts photos and talks about new countries. He recently visited Singapore and then spent a few days relaxing with members of the crypto community.
The story of Oleksandr Orlovskyi is a vivid example of how perseverance, a desire to learn, and the support of like-minded people can change a life in a relatively short period of time. Is it worth following in his footsteps? The decision is yours. But now that decision will be more informed.
