A real and surprising story of someone who became a millionaire with cryptocurrencies:
The story of Erik Finman: The teenager who became a millionaire with Bitcoin
Erik Finman was an ordinary teenager in Idaho, USA, who did not enjoy school. At the age of 12, in 2011, he received a gift from his grandmother: $1,000. Instead of spending it on something typical for his age, he invested it in Bitcoin, which at that time was worth around $12 per unit.
Erik researched cryptocurrencies, convinced that this technology would revolutionize the future. By 2013, when he was 15 years old, he sold some of his bitcoins when the price rose to $1,200, earning over $100,000. With that, he founded an online educational company called Botangle, which he later sold… for 300 bitcoins!
When Bitcoin surpassed $3,000 in 2017, Erik already had over 400 bitcoins, making him a millionaire before turning 18.
Since then, he has been a public figure in the crypto world, giving talks, participating in media, and advocating for the decentralizing potential of cryptocurrencies.
