$BTC Eric Finman
Eric Finman is a 12-year-old teenager who became the youngest bitcoin millionaire. In 2011, he received a gift from his grandmother — $1,000, which was meant for college. Instead, Eric invested it in bitcoin, which was then priced at less than $10. The idea came to him after a chance encounter with a BTC enthusiast during a protest:
After becoming a bitcoin millionaire, Finman launched several successful projects. He founded:
MetalPay — a payment system on the blockchain;
CoinBits — a startup for automated crypto investments;
FINFund — a venture fund for breakthrough technologies;
Future PAC — a political organization for promoting innovations.
"By the age of 25, I dropped out of school, sold a startup, made a million in BTC, created an octopus doctor suit, launched a satellite, and a crypto business. Generation Z rules," he wrote on X (formerly "Twitter").
