Bitcoin Millionaire Erik Finman Challenges Jamie Dimon

[jamie.redman1]

This past June we reported on the entrepreneur, Erik Finman, who became a bitcoin millionaire at 18 years old. However, Finman became well known before making his first million when he put $1000 into bitcoin in May of 2011 that later turned out to be a really good investment.

Finman’s investment grew to be worth over $100,000, and he was able to create his own startup. He later sold the company in 2015 for 300 BTC when bitcoin was roughly $200 per coin. This June Finman said he day traded his bitcoins and gathered a total of 403 bitcoins, and when the price hit $2,710 per BTC, he was a millionaire.

This week Finman has had some words for Jamie Dimon the CEO of JP Morgan for calling ordinary bitcoin investors “stupid.” Because of Dimon’s derogatory remarks against bitcoin, the 18-year old entrepreneur has been asking Jamie Dimon to join him in a boxing match to raise money for the natural disaster victims in Puerto Rico. Finman chatted with news.Bitcoin.com about his beef with Dimon, and he tells us it’s pretty ironic a Wall Street type who is accused of so many financial crimes is calling bitcoin a “fraud.” Among other subject’s Finman also tells us his thoughts about bitcoin’s current price and what he thinks the value might be in the future.

Challenging someone you disagree with to a boxing match is pretty much the most juvenile and pointless thing you can do, and it doesn't resolve anything. It's just grabbing for attention in the press.

Agreed - by the time we're talking about boxing matches and calling each other names, it's no longer a debate about the actual merit of Bitcoin. it's just a personal feud between two popular people.
