Not a Bitcoin millionaire?Oh Mi You goofed!
This, at least, is the opinion of Erik Finman, a 19-year-old Bitcoin investor fresh out of childhood and fresh into being pompous about cryptocurrency.
According to a profile of Finman from Business Insider, the teen bet his parents that if he became a millionaire by age 18, he wouldn't have to attend college. And -- thanks to investment money from his grandmother -- he invested in Bitcoin and pulled it off.
Well, technically, he and his grandmotherpulled it off. But who cares about the details?
Today, Finman "still believes" in cryptocurrencies, even in the wake of their recent decline. "The area is still relatively small; the market capitalization is just over half a trillion dollars," he said. "Therefore, I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then it’s your own fault."
This, of course, is not... necessarily... true. We are happy for his success, though, and pleased that he was able to make a speech at TEDxTeen in 2014. (We are not being facetious. The speech is actually nice.)
Anyway, this dude also plans to launch Taylor Swift's 1989into space, so at least he has a consistent brand.
