In 2011, Erik Finman received $1,000 from his grandmother — not for toys, but for... investing in bitcoin. At that time, crypto was worth about $12 per coin, and 12-year-old Erik bought approximately 83 BTC.
This was not just a childish whim — he became seriously interested in blockchain technology and believed that cryptocurrency is the future of finance. No one in his surroundings was an expert, and Erik studied everything on his own: he read articles, watched videos, and kept up with the news.
He was only helped by access to the internet and a desire to learn. His parents supported him but did not interfere — they believed in his curiosity.
By 2017, when bitcoin had risen to nearly $20,000, Erik became a millionaire — at just 18 years old! Instead of spending the money, he launched his own projects and began to tell others about the importance of crypto education.
📌 His story is a great example that success relies not only on money but also on knowledge, patience, and faith in the future.
💬 Some look at crypto with skepticism, others — with hope. Are you ready to take the risk and become part of the story?
