At age twelve Erik Finman put the $1000 his grandmother gave him in bitcoin, in May of 2011. By the end of 2013 Finman’s wealth in BTC grew to be worth $100,000 and the young high school student left his high school to create his own company.

Yea I wasn't surprised. Kid was a bit egoistic. He was saying things that sounded like he thinks he's going to be the next Elon Musk or something.

Sounds like it has let it all go to his head a little too much.
18 years old and a millionaire, yeah i think i would probably have been a little cocky too at that age with that money.

Definitely. Not to mention he didn't need any skill to achieve his current wealth. He just borrowed money from his family. Who knows? He might just rode the bitcoin hype and got lucky. Good for him though. I would have honestly do the same if I had that much money.

If only he was just a bit humble.
