Title: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: maxreish on June 11, 2019, 01:24:01 AM I am talking about Eric Finman. https://i.ibb.co/MkcYFCV/26-bitcoin-w700-h700-2x.jpg Image source (http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2014/12/bitcoin-boy-erik-finman.html) An inspiring story that is worth to read. This is just a summarized of his journey. Eric Finman is just a typical 16 year old student who is bright and creative. He has smart two brothers and he is the youngest. He is into latest technologies. When his brother introduced digital currencies (bitcoin) at 2013 who his brother brought 50 bitcoins. He decided to compete his brother by buying hundreds of bitcoin worth $1,000 in which his grandmother's gave. His brother Ross gave him a book by Ohanian ( a co-founder of Reddit), which indicates the power of internet and which got Eric's attention and interests. He is eager to meet him but there is $8,500 fee which made his parents think it was too much. With his eagerness he founds out and discovered that the bitcoin reached $1,200 and he sold his bitcoin to $100,000. Finally, he met Ohanian. It amazed him how matured enough Eric when it comes to technology. One time, as a freelancer, he make a Flappy Bird knockoff game and Ohanian is an eye opener for Eric's eagerness to use internet as a source of income. He produce his own programmers, etc. And made his own company. I just thought Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest millionare. Now, it is Eric Finman. Here is my favorite line from my idol, Quote from: Eric Finman "I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then it’s your own fault." He is now 18 years old. Despite of being disppointment in terms of education, he is now a successful and the youngest millionare by bitcoin and by his innovations and by being creative. Read the full article here.

I remember this kid. He came off like a privileged, entitled jerk in his interviews. Not everyone is given thousands of dollars by their grandparents to buy whatever they want! ;) It sounds like he was just immensely lucky that his brother introduced him to Bitcoin, and that he had money to invest at the right time.

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Bunsomjelican on June 11, 2019, 04:47:11 AM Whether it is true or not He became rich through bitcoin, all I can say is that bitcoin can be a way for us to change our lives and it could help us to become rich or lead us down to poor situation. Because, as far as I know bitcoin was a volatile digital currency were there is no stable in terms of price. But this was just my opinion only.

Arrogance and ignorance is what made him say that. some kid s with a wealthy family tend to do that. I've also seen some of his interviews and I wasn't impressed he sounds like a jerk that thinks he figured out everything just because he that much money. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Leonardo7 on June 11, 2019, 05:57:00 AM This is inspiring from young Eric. It takes technicals and faith to believe in something that is been fought by the government and the mainstream. Many had panic and sold out all position before they were made, today they are wishing they could turn back the hands of time. I am on a mission too.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Kakmakr on June 11, 2019, 06:06:13 AM I hope he makes this money work for him and he builds something to generate passive income for him. Yes, he was lucky and smart to buy in at a low price and fortunate enough that the price skyrocketed, but it is not to say that it might happen again.
The thing about money is this, once you get a taste of it, you can never get enough. <greed> The other thing is, if you work hard for it, you tend to appreciate it, but when you get it with very little effort, you waste it. ::) Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: arpon11 on June 11, 2019, 06:26:37 AM Quote He decided to compete his brother by buying hundreds of bitcoin worth $1,000 in which his grandmother's gave.

He is now 18 years old. Despite of being disppointment in terms of education, he is now a successful and the youngest millionare by bitcoin and by his innovations and by being creative. I'm so glad for Eric. However, his sentence already shows arrogance. First of all, I don't think there are too many people in the world who can get $ 1000 from their grandmother! There are millions of people who don't even have $ 10 to invest for! Eric can be a very smart young man! But I'm sure there are a lot of kids who are smarter than Eric and don't have the potential to come out because he doesn't get serious training! In other words, not being rich in the next 10 years can sometimes be the result of the corrupt system on the world, not the human himself. Sometimes intelligence isn't needed to get to the right place, and even luck can be enough! I don't know which applies to Eric. But I think it would be more correct to judge people not with their wealth, but with the way they have come from the beginning, with their moral values and personality. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: mk4 on June 11, 2019, 06:55:07 AM I dislike him a bit. Dude got lucky by betting on bitcoin using a family member's money, and won. Now he's making those big statements. Looks like he's doing well though, I was expecting him to be like those boastful one hit wonder millionaires but it looks like he's doing really well in Silicon Valley right now. Good for him.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: princesspoppy on June 11, 2019, 06:58:25 AM I read an article about him. He seems so into himself, he acts like someone who is capable of doing everything just because he earned millions with bitcoins. I just don't know if he is just provoking and getting the attention of other people for them to start investing and believing on bitcoin or he is just a total jerk, who knows. By the way, he's so lucky and somehow impressive in controlling his emotions not to do panic selling back then. Maybe some people are still regretting not doing the same thing when they had the chance before.

And this kid was able to get rich with some luck in his life. I'm not trying to belittle her. I wonder how many children would be called if they failed to enter a similar adventure. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: NeuroticFish on June 11, 2019, 07:15:58 AM He decided to compete his brother by buying hundreds of bitcoin worth $1,000 in which his grandmother's gave. Wow, so we have a story about a spoiled rich kid that had a lucky strike and now, in his arrogance, thinks he's smart investor. No. This is not really a story that would help anybody. He's not somebody to follow. Btw, at that age, if by chance I got 25$ from my grandmother (and not 5-10$), that was already *a lot*. And it happened maximum once per year. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Chikitita2004 on June 11, 2019, 09:03:36 AM Girls could be running after him now that they know he is a millionaire. Not just millionaire but also young and bright, not mentioned that he is but by the decision he made it is a clear indication that he is indeed smart. Not everyone has a strong instinct like his. Anyway, a lot had regretted for not believing in bitcoin earlier.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Genemind on June 11, 2019, 09:25:35 AM He's lucky that he's into the latest technology at an early age.
A lot of people aim to be a millionaire but fail to reach their goals no matter how hard they work for what they want but this young boy's life has changed too early because of cryptocurrency. I'm sure that he has never doubted about Bitcoin last 2013. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Cacingkemi on June 11, 2019, 09:39:18 AM Lucky buying BTC in 2013, becoming a millionaire 10 years later I believe but not everyone gets the chance, little boys spend a lot of money not everyone can. Right what words avikz (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5153012.msg51424447#msg51424447), but it all makes us all excited again in this industry by seeing the boy.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: stompix on June 11, 2019, 09:58:38 AM So, how did he become a millionaire because of bitcoin when the story goes like this?
Quote With his eagerness he founds out and discovered that the bitcoin reached $1,200 and he sold his bitcoin to $100,000. Last time I checked 100 000 is ten times less than a million :D Another clickbait topic???? LE: Oh crap, a 2014 article? Btw: http://erikfinman.com/ lols... Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: marcbitcoins on June 11, 2019, 10:08:56 AM I have already heard and read many real life stories like this before that they become rich because of Bitcoin. All that i can say that they are very lucky that they never think twice in joining Bitcoin investments in which they become prospher in life unlike most of us here that no matter how hard we tried but its look like we need to become fortunate too just like them in order to become rich in Bitcoin too.

Lol nice catch, I also wonder why he is the youngest millionaire when he just sold his BTC totalling $100k. Either way, I am not inspired with his story, would have better seeing someone who has none, working hard for BTC payment, saving it until the value of his saving turns to $1 million. I believe this kind of story is just a made up or make believe story just to highlight how BTC can get you rich fast. And the story isn't about him making millions with his Bitcoin savings but rather the turn of events that happen in his life. And I believe there is someone who is pulling the string behind this person's success. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: eternalgloom on June 11, 2019, 10:33:04 AM It would be infinitely more awesome if someone became a Bitcoin millionaire by starting from scratch.
Still waiting for a story where some random kid invested his money that he earned by himself into Bitcoin. Lol, imagine someone mowing lawns and asking to get paid in Bitcoin, with a bit of luck they could have a nice bit of savings when they're 18 :P Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Juggy777 on June 11, 2019, 10:53:35 AM I am talking about Eric Finman.

Because, as far as I know bitcoin was a volatile digital currency were there is no stable in terms of price. But this was just my opinion only. Indeed it is one of the ways that can change our lives most especially if we are smart in handling our bitcoins, it just a matter of properly managing your bitcoins. This boy however has an edge over the other investors because he is from a rich family and he was given thousands of dollars just to buy what he wants and in this case he bought bitcoins. I'm sorry but I don't envy or i'm not really inspired by his story knowing he didn't get bitcoins from hard work, he was given money to buy it and sell it at the time where bitcoin's price is high, though I can say he is smart because he was able to sell it at the time where he can get high profits. It would have been better if he started from scratch. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: DoublerHunter on June 11, 2019, 12:08:36 PM Well, he was a lucky young boy who had already a rich family. He can actually buy more bitcoin if he can afford it, he has begun to purchased bitcoin in the year of 2011 which bitcoin is very cheap. And now, he is very well-known for his very young age he became a multi-millionaire after he received a gift from his grandmother. Each of us has a different background of our family and maybe he just can afford and luckily he early discover bitcoin while it is cheap and he's not depending on what he invested.

5 years ago, I can made $ 100.000 profit if I sold all of my bank's balance for crypto. 9 years ago, if I knew crypto will make me rich, I will leave my collage and start investing crypto So it's a matter on how fast do you believe on something unpredictable !?

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Pursuer on June 11, 2019, 02:48:57 PM I find such stories more damaging than inspiring unlike what many of the previous comments see it. I think when these stories like this are advertising bitcoin as something that you could buy in early days and become rich, aka a get rich magic investment. and that is not what we want and that is definitely not what bitcoin is created to do.
of course price is always a part of bitcoin since it is rising a lot and will continue to rise for many years to come but the biggest reason for this rise is that bitcoin is a decentralized currency that is offering something unique that the centralized fiat can not. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Vishnu.Reang on June 11, 2019, 04:02:36 PM He was lucky because he was born to an affluent family and his grandmother gave him a few thousand bucks for purchasing some little known asset. But I don't think that they got the calculation right. He has 100 BTC in his wallet. As per the current exchange rates, they will be worth somewhere around $780,000. That's not exactly a million $$$.

The 100.000$ he got from selling his BTC at age 15 were subsequently invested as follows:
- He then created Botangle, an online business related in the field of education. - In 2015 he managed to sell the company for 300 BTC (declining the 100K$ alternative payment he was given). - Allegedly, he still kept increasing his portafolio, having over 400 BTC as of the time of the article below referenced (one year ago roughly). So the key to being a Bitcoin millionaire was, besides being darn well active for a teenager, creating and selling Botangle and then being able to HODL to the BTCs he obtained as a result of the process, building-up his portafolio all along from there on. The guy seems a bit of a brat, but you’ve got to give him the faith and push he seems to have (as opposed to being on the PS4 all day long).

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Mike Mayor on June 11, 2019, 07:05:05 PM This really talks to me. Damn. I got teary reading this. My best part is this "I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then it’s your own fault." It is so so so true.
You want to make it in life? You gotta push hard. Take control!!. Be a monster and release the beast!! So many times we blame a million other things when we are the ones in charge of what happens and no one else. I was very upset because I had enough money to buy 10 bitcoins a long time ago with money my gran gave me. I had nothing to do with it and wanted to invest it in bitcoin. I was spoken out of it but I shouldn't have listened. Later on I did need the money but I wish I just bought bitcoin and forgot about it. The quote a repeated above makes me feel like I still have a second chance and that I shouldn't give up. I missed a life-changing event. Should I give up? Never!! Life changing events happen all around us. This makes me want to try even harder and this time get it right, learn from my mistakes and forgive myself. I won't let it happen again. Yet I still feel the sting, I wouldn't need to work right now if I had just followed through my plan. You never know the future though so maybe I am much too hard on myself :( Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Haunebu on June 11, 2019, 07:40:28 PM So the key to being a Bitcoin millionaire was, besides being darn well active for a teenager, creating and selling Botangle and then being able to HODL to the BTCs he obtained as a result of the process, building-up his portafolio all along from there on.

Weird thing is that this story is pretty old and many including me were already aware of his success thanks to his Youtube interviews and articles related to him which is why op seems to have heard of this story really late.See: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jun/13/meet-erik-finman-the-teenage-bitcoin-millionaire Many are calling him arrogant and I admit that he is, but this does not necessarily mean that this is a bad thing. He basically took control of his life at such a young age and pushed forward and continued to improve his portfolio which is mighty impressive if you ask me. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: alrose on June 11, 2019, 07:47:49 PM I really like the expression ,,be in the right place at the right time,,The guy,even if you omit the fact that he is from a rich family,was not afraid and bought an unknown bitcoin.At that time, not everyone would have agreed to this.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Adriano2010 on June 11, 2019, 08:04:52 PM If buy at that time and hold until bull year when price was 20k +$ and sell yes he got 1 mil. $ and was a wise decission to buy and hold. The problem now is bitcoin cost a lot and no one know when will grow enough to bring a huge profit.

The philosophy I have said is the sayings of my countrymen. I really disagree with this maxim. It is an egocentric philosophy for me. Why do we need to be rich? Do we take it after death? I don't care if I died poor as long as the people around me are glad when we are together. We don't need to become millionaire because through aspects of life is to become aware of what you are doing in this earth. Adam Smith say, wealth can't be measured by materials things but by the welfare of the people around you.

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: mitchr4 on June 12, 2019, 09:57:44 AM This child is surrounded by families who support what he wants to do especially his brother who first played Bitcoin became a motivation for him to compete to be the best. Basically he didn't know about how Bitcoin grew, he just realized that he had Bitcoin when he wanted to meet someone. He bought at a low price and sold it at a high price which meant he was just lucky to be an unexpectedly millionaire.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Ailmand on June 12, 2019, 11:05:07 AM This is an indication that in some situation, education is not the only bridge to success but also skills and determination. This young boy is just so lucky that he god his family supporting all his journeys. If we'll all have that eagerness and strategy, we'll also be successful as well.

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: nemey on June 12, 2019, 12:13:02 PM Every kid will have their own chance, willingness, and also the right moment to be what he want (including becoming a millionaire from Bitcoin). From the story above, we can see that he is from a great family who has a big fund, high knowledge, and awareness of the technology. It makes sense if he knows many things. However, what about the general kids from very general society? I think that the story will be more influencing when he came from a very simple family. But, applause for him.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Vinalians on June 12, 2019, 12:14:40 PM There are some warning in his statement. I don't really like him as a cryptopreneur but I also don't hate him. It's just that I don't think it's right to say that if bitcoin didn't meet or fix those problems bitcoin will not get success.
This 18-year-old boy because millionaire because he has this 400+ bitcoin correct me if I'm not right. The only thing that I want in what he says is that if you are not rich or millionaire in the next 10 years it is your fault. That actually leaves a mark in our head. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Bes19 on June 12, 2019, 12:31:36 PM Everyone can be a millionaire in cryptocurrency. He is lucky coz he gets all the support he needed when he was just starting in bitcoin coz not all can get that much support. And not all has a privileged to have $1000 from their grandparents lol His love on technologies made him a millionaire.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: BlackFor3st on June 12, 2019, 12:39:08 PM It is very inspirational especially that he holds the record of being the youngest millionaire in crypto currency world. I really love how eager he is aside from being smart because you cannot do anything if you don't have the eagerness even if you have the knowledge inside yourself.
What makes him successful is he didn't stop to his goal even if there are plenty of hurdles knowing that he is still very young. I'd love to test myself also whether I can be a millionaire 10 year from now.

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: bittraffic on June 12, 2019, 01:01:36 PM Lucky for him as he was already aware of BTC and has the money to invest. Him becoming a millionaire without doing something else isn't something to be amaze but I would rather look up to a kid who worked harder, provide food for himself and live on his own and work up to a corporate ladder. Or to a kid that learned trading with just few hundreds in his pocket and profited by trading. That Erik already has money and from a family that has the wealth.

Well yeah it is not impossible if you already have tons of money to throw at without worrying a thing,There are tons of people who have invested in the early age of crypto but guess what not all of them could hold it because they also need that money to sustain what they need to feed their family. The boy was just lucky to be in a rich family and doesn't have to worry about his investment because it was just a spare money for them. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Dontme on June 12, 2019, 03:13:36 PM I am talking about Eric Finman. https://i.ibb.co/MkcYFCV/26-bitcoin-w700-h700-2x.jpg Image source (http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2014/12/bitcoin-boy-erik-finman.html) An inspiring story that is worth to read. This is just a summarized of his journey. Eric Finman is just a typical 16 year old student who is bright and creative. He has smart two brothers and he is the youngest. He is into latest technologies. When his brother introduced digital currencies (bitcoin) at 2013 who his brother brought 50 bitcoins. He decided to compete his brother by buying hundreds of bitcoin worth $1,000 in which his grandmother's gave. His brother Ross gave him a book by Ohanian ( a co-founder of Reddit), which indicates the power of internet and which got Eric's attention and interests. He is eager to meet him but there is $8,500 fee which made his parents think it was too much. With his eagerness he founds out and discovered that the bitcoin reached $1,200 and he sold his bitcoin to $100,000. Finally, he met Ohanian. It amazed him how matured enough Eric when it comes to technology. One time, as a freelancer, he make a Flappy Bird knockoff game and Ohanian is an eye opener for Eric's eagerness to use internet as a source of income. He produce his own programmers, etc. And made his own company. I just thought Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest millionare. Now, it is Eric Finman. Here is my favorite line from my idol, Quote from: Eric Finman "I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then it’s your own fault." He is now 18 years old. Despite of being disppointment in terms of education, he is now a successful and the youngest millionare by bitcoin and by his innovations and by being creative. Read the full article here.

But lately, I don't know if he's going against bitcoin because he's telling kind of weird things that definitely affects the emotion of the people. Those 'bad features' in his own opinion that affects the usage of bitcoin and on how 'slow' it was according to him. I can't say if this is just another tactic of his that he had learned from the whales to drop the price.

I think Erik is awesome and really brilliant for his age. I hope I could be a millionaire soon and not gonna grow old having nothing. I hope bitcoin will make me a millionaire too someday. It may sound harsh, but when you're already struggling to make ends meet, it's way less likely to actually replicate what this teenager did because you're way more likely to cash out profits when you're up 50-100%.People often feel bad about not having found out about Bitcoin earlier, but they don't realize that even if they did, they would cash out right away after what in traditional markets can be seen as an exceptional profit percentage. You need to be a firm believer in Bitcoin and have a large enough part of your wealth parked in it for at least 5 or so years. If you don't trust yourself and have some technical understanding, you could even time-lock your coins. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: creeps on June 12, 2019, 09:32:22 PM Well everyone's have their own lines in life though. This dude just literally gambled something that won't even guarantee him good things after 10 years or so. It just happened that it was well-done for him, and it paid-off. I do not have that kind of pair as his especially when it comes to money in earlier stages in life. Man, I do not even have the appropriate fund to use money in gambling at this kind of investments. We all have different thoughts and belief, and if he succeed on that way maybe its not applicable to us. On my younger age i was not able to save because of the status in my life but I don’t regret anything because i know we all have different time to shine. We will become a millionaire in the future for sure even if its beyond 10years its ok, just keep dreaming and remember those Billionaires who also started late especially the founder of KFC.Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Danslip on June 12, 2019, 09:45:59 PM Very motivational story but it is near to impossible to get rich in such a short time frame.

However, he is also a very lucky kid where he grows in the rich family that could give him big funds for investment. We can appreciate it for him.

And two years later into his journey with cryptocurrency and it doesnt seem his attitude towards life has changed one bit. It can hinder most at this young age when they dont go through lifes hardships to mold them into a respectful individual and have them growup into big jerk instead. :D I started to watch his interview like I said a year ago when I first bear about him but turned it off one minute into it.

There are still a lot of oppurtunities around us but we just need to realise it and have courage enough to believe in what you think would make a change.

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Suslura on June 13, 2019, 05:26:22 PM I always remember one story that happened in 2008 or in 2009, when one guy offered to buy two pizzas for 10.000 Bitcoin. Then someone took these words with a sneer, because Bitcoin had practically no value and no one believed in its prospects. But today, many people perceive this information with a hysterical smile, because they understand what great opportunities these were at that time. Simple guys who were simply addicted to computers and high technologies, such as the blockchain, simply playing accumulated a large amount of Bitcoin in their wallets, without even knowing what it would lead to. Today they are billionaires who are practically either gamers or nerds. The same situation is probably with a boy who is 18 years old.

Was he really such good investor that calculated everything or were these just circumstances? That is the question for discussion. Still I hope he learned a lot out of it and that he knows how to clever use the money and invest further. Anyway, he is still very young so this is the good teaching lesson for him and hope he will stay in crypto, not only because of money. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Thermytee on June 18, 2019, 09:17:17 PM All those who got in on bitcoin early enough are made for life now. The price there and then are far distant from each other. If I was aware of this before, would have invested heavily on it. There are new altcoins with great possibilities now. The only hung is to research and get in on time. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Moshaid on June 18, 2019, 10:10:01 PM No risk no gain, the young lad used what he had to gain what he wants. I believe there are other people with such stories beyond the crypto space but to a layman investing high to earn high return is always not easy because it comes with a 50-50 chances. Take for example those that bought bitcoin when bitcoin was at it ATH price, these people thought it would go beyond that price, not knowing they will eventually get burnt but regardless of it. The risk we take today defines our tomorrow.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Ridwan Fauzi on June 18, 2019, 10:21:46 PM wow that is an extraordinary story and at the same time can motivate us all. When a 16-year-old child is able to do that then why can't we? Basically we should not be afraid to compete and continue to seek knowledge. Although I'm sure there are some younger also who feel such this thing I mean got a millioner through bitcoin but he is aware of his anonimity. The best important when we try to do something is find a knowledge first and after that you are free to make a decision. Can you imagine in 2009 there ia anyone who believe to bitcoin? When we all know the fiat money is everything at that time. But for some people never look at that time only, they will have a thought again the future. And he was right, cryptocurrency or digital currency is the important part for human life at this time and in the future for sure.Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Nasonn on June 18, 2019, 10:41:32 PM This is why they say information is very key to making wealth. If he weren't informed by the older brother he wouldn't have become a millionaire. This is what many of us lacked, it was only a few you got wave of bitcoin in its early years.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: markgayamo on June 19, 2019, 05:17:23 AM I think this boy is just lucky that he buy and invest on bitcoin in the right time and that statement that he told was only his statement. All of us has a different paths to take and different problems to face but after 10 years is not just enough to become a millionaire just like that lucky kid. Maybe I will still playing this crypto game and help some people that wanted to be a millionaire. And all of us have a choice either you invest your money and take the risk or wait for your coins to pump.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: PDAngel on June 19, 2019, 08:30:06 AM This young boy inspired and motivates people in crypto. He is a good example to everyone that success doesn't matter if your young or old it is in yourself how you decide. He also a proof that bitcoin is not a scam. I hope someday i will become a millionaire too with the help of bitcoin.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: samputin on June 19, 2019, 09:45:16 AM Such a lucky kiddo. Thanks to his big brother for introducing him to bitcoin. He will serve as an inspiration to all who are in bitcoin community. I just hope that he realize that we came from different backgrounds and have different fortunes. So though everyone would like to be a millionaire, the universe sometimes just won't allow it. Not being a millionaire is nobody's fault. At least trying to improve his financial life and being able to achieve it, I think, is enough.

This is just a summarized of his journey. Eric Finman is just a typical 16 year old student who is bright and creative. He has smart two brothers and he is the youngest. He is into latest technologies. When his brother introduced digital currencies (bitcoin) at 2013 who his brother brought 50 bitcoins. He decided to compete his brother by buying hundreds of bitcoin worth $1,000 in which his grandmother's gave. His brother Ross gave him a book by Ohanian ( a co-founder of Reddit), which indicates the power of internet and which got Eric's attention and interests. He is eager to meet him but there is $8,500 fee which made his parents think it was too much. With his eagerness he founds out and discovered that the bitcoin reached $1,200 and he sold his bitcoin to $100,000. Finally, he met Ohanian. It amazed him how matured enough Eric when it comes to technology. One time, as a freelancer, he make a Flappy Bird knockoff game and Ohanian is an eye opener for Eric's eagerness to use internet as a source of income. He produce his own programmers, etc. And made his own company. I just thought Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest millionare. Now, it is Eric Finman. Here is my favorite line from my idol, Quote from: Eric Finman "I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then it’s your own fault." He is now 18 years old. Despite of being disppointment in terms of education, he is now a successful and the youngest millionare by bitcoin and by his innovations and by being creative. Read the full article here.

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: NewBet on September 29, 2019, 03:20:49 PM Good on this guy for taking a risk at such a young age. When we are young, like 18 years old he had nothing to lose so it's a really smart decision that he made. I think if most of us could go back in time, we would buy Bitcoin when we first found out about it. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20.

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: teosanru on September 29, 2019, 03:37:14 PM Well BTC has given an opportunity to people to create a fortune. These types of stories are increasing each day and everyday the road of getting rich is new. This time it was bitcoin and every person has it's own idea. But I somehow think that this topics deserves to be in "Off-topic discussion" as it has nothing to do with Bitcoin discussion.
Quote "I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then it’s your own fault." It's a big statement! An 18 year old male who grew up in an affluent family, is not a good fit for making such statement! Becoming a millionaire doesn't make you eligible for such statements! People come from different backgrounds, different financial situations and different family situations! To get a different perspective of life, speak to a slum boy someday!

I do agree, people have their respective pacing in achieving their desired results. There are people who became rich when they got old and there are also some who invented and discovered something at the spur of the moment. It varies depending on the circumstance of an individual, like you mentioned. Well thats why I believe that going to school doesnt give you all things you need to be succesful in life.Succes is all about your choices in life and how you spend your hour.Experience is still the very best teacher in life,you cant learn nothing without experience. Attending school renders someone the values and education they need to prepare them in the working force.

The thing is it is all nice to want to invest but you need money to invest. The worst is when you know an investment is good but you have no money for it. You can try getting other people to invest for you but that is difficult and who will you ask? Asking friends is a bad idea in case things go sour.

Yeah, seeking the today's hike of bitcoin the only feeling comes to my mind is of regret of not getting it when I first heard of back then while it was just 800$.

Back in 2009/10, the exchange rate of Bitcoin was just $0.001 per coin. It went up to $20,000 per coin by 2017 December. You can find similar stories with a lot of assets, and Bitcoin is not the only one. Even in the world of cryptocurrency, there are enough examples. For example, during the Ethereum ICO the price was just $0.30 per coin. And three years later, it had reached $1,400 per coin which amounts to returns in excess of 5,000x.

This is just a summarized of his journey. Eric Finman is just a typical 16 year old student who is bright and creative. He has smart two brothers and he is the youngest. He is into latest technologies. When his brother introduced digital currencies (bitcoin) at 2013 who his brother brought 50 bitcoins. He decided to compete his brother by buying hundreds of bitcoin worth $1,000 in which his grandmother's gave. His brother Ross gave him a book by Ohanian ( a co-founder of Reddit), which indicates the power of internet and which got Eric's attention and interests. He is eager to meet him but there is $8,500 fee which made his parents think it was too much. With his eagerness he founds out and discovered that the bitcoin reached $1,200 and he sold his bitcoin to $100,000. Finally, he met Ohanian. It amazed him how matured enough Eric when it comes to technology. One time, as a freelancer, he make a Flappy Bird knockoff game and Ohanian is an eye opener for Eric's eagerness to use internet as a source of income. He produce his own programmers, etc. And made his own company. I just thought Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest millionare. Now, it is Eric Finman. Here is my favorite line from my idol, Quote from: Eric Finman "I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then it’s your own fault." He is now 18 years old.

Imagine, how could he become more financially stable if only he'd chosen to hodl it for several years up to the bull run of 2017 but I guess we couldn't predict what will happen in the future! Personally he has no regrets whatsoever yet that incident further strengthened his resolve as a long term hodler even up to now because I think he has learned his lessons well.
To this day, I often told his story to my peers who are also in crypto so that maybe it will inspire us to have a long term investment strategy on cryptocurrencies especially with Bitcoin and that one day, who knows, hopefully maybe one of us could replicate the story of that 18 year old boy! Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: michellee on October 01, 2019, 09:50:49 AM That kid can see something that will be potential than the other people, even adult people, so he is very lucky. A few kids like him, and we will see in the future, there will be so many billionaire kids that earn money from bitcoin. That is a lesson for us to teach the good thing to our kids, so they know how to react with something new that many people don't like. If there are many more kids like him, I am sure the world will be different than now.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Colt81 on October 01, 2019, 01:54:53 PM Honestly, an 18-year old boy can easily became a millionaire from bitcoin as long he has a dedication to learn more or go deeper about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, that is why a lot of people are now getting rich because of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

Exactly, anyone can be a millionaire from just being here in crypto industry but you must be possess of great knowledge and experience otherwise you'll just become a normal folk. Passion, is one of the key as well, without this thing you will not last long in this industry. You must be wise as well, willing to learn and more. I have seen a lot of people who become successful through the usage of crypto so just believe in ourselves, if they can do it and so we can.Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Distraction on October 01, 2019, 03:19:05 PM I am proud of people like Eric Finman.

Bitcoin is just any other currency. He became a millionaire because he has the patience and has what it takes to be a millionaire. Bitcoin is not a quick way to become a millionaire it depends on the people. If he sold his bitcoin when it just has a little pump he would never be a millionaire, but instead, he believes in it and have the patience to hold it, so he became a millionaire because of his self not because of the bitcoin.

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: shoreno on October 01, 2019, 03:55:44 PM cool story . with his verry young age he already know how to invest in bitcoin ? i think if i were on his situation , i wont think of investing my money of bitcoin but i think i will only care wasting my money on video games . anyway this kid must be knowledeable enough and he is an advance thinker but this kid is not alone . ive seen alot of stories before about young millionaires . he might be the first miliionaire on the crypto scene but others are only a business men outside the crypto .
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Mahanton on October 01, 2019, 05:12:14 PM Yes, the kid is very smart and creative because he takes advantage of the opportunity to become a millionaire from the bitcoin he gets. His interest through new technology do really helps and it do mixed up with some sort of luck too because those purchases of thousand of bitcoin is just somewhat will be an example for everyone because being a millionaire from the results of bitcoin will definitely pass strong patience when profits have been obtained and he will continue to endure to achieve very satisfying results. a non serious shot but luckily it did pays off.The thing here is that he used and sold up those coins for another purpose which it did succeed also which makes his career even more productive.If you don't let yourself open to new opportunities and chances then you cant achieve these financial success. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: joinfree on October 01, 2019, 06:30:48 PM He sees the future and believes in it. There are few people in this world that have such a spirit and attitude like him. When its come to technology only those who believe it and get it at early stage become millionaire. most people will call him lucky guy but i will call it hard work.. hardwork + commitment will lead to such a great success..
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Mulann2 on October 01, 2019, 06:31:24 PM Well thanks to his grandmother who clearly is well to do and could afford to give a 16 years old $1000 and his brother who introduced him to btc, I think they are the ones who deserve the praise, without them there won't be any Eric the millionaire,
There a lot of smart people out there who can also do same or even better but they are not fortunate enough to have such people around to assist, well good for him, he was able to make something good out of the money he was given. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Shasha80 on October 01, 2019, 07:12:14 PM I am also inspired by the story of 18-year old boy Eric Finman.
Therefore for the sake of following in his footsteps I made a long-term investment in bitcoin. who knows I can be a millionaire too. 8) In my opinion many people have become rich from bitcoin. Therefore bitcoin is increasingly in demand by many people. Because anyone can become a millionaire from bitcoin, the method also varies. There are investments, trading, gambling, lottery, etc. And I'm sure bitcoin can reach 40,000 $, I hope it can happen in near future. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: ReiMomo on October 01, 2019, 07:19:45 PM In my opinion on that boy has been rich in investing bitcoin and forgot for how many years is just because they can afford to buy bitcoin at that time. There are hundreds or even a thousand people who had been rich in just investing bitcoin and let them sleep on their safe wallet.
Time will come bitcoin will become expensive due to less supply and more demand situation. If every one of us was an earlier bitcoin holder probably we are also one of those riches people just because of bitcoin. But at that time no one ever believed in Bitcoin. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: nydiacaskey01 on October 01, 2019, 11:43:22 PM For me he just got lucky when he bought Bitcoins when the price is still low or below $500 USD. There’s more of them out there who bought Bitcoin at that price, hold on to it and when price hits the ceiling, we got instant millionaire. If he can duplicate this with other stocks or form of investment, then maybe we have a boy wonder here with a Midas touch.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: n0ne on October 02, 2019, 01:30:18 AM His brother is the one whom needs to be appreciated.

Here his brother have shared the knowledge about technology, along with the same he has bought him a book that has changed Eric's life. This is simply awesome, to see the brother perfectly study the younger ones mind and do the needful. I don't know now whether Eric is supporting his brothers.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: abel1337 on October 02, 2019, 05:19:28 AM So the kid borrowed money and got lucky with investment? Good for him but he's not living in the real world, many people do not have the option to borrow money from family at no risk. Although he's done a good job selling at ATHs so can't fault that. His mother gave him a thousand, It's not borrowed. It's true that not every one of us does have the opportunity like that. His brother might be the who is really pushing him to invest in bitcoin and he did a good strategy selling it on that price point. This shows that true believers do get a reward for doing the right thing. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: sehoon on October 02, 2019, 09:17:35 AM Saying that if you're not a millionaire in the next ten years is too much. Not everyone has a relative that can give you a $1000. I'm pretty sure there were also a lot of people that trust bitcoin at that time but didn't have that much money to invest in bitcoin. He's overweening even though he did not earn the $1000 himself.

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: edutBTC on October 02, 2019, 01:22:23 PM He is very lucky or very clever.

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Anegg on October 02, 2019, 01:37:41 PM As much as it is great to hear such a young person becoming a millionaire from cryptocurrency, it is clear that he didn't truly believe in or understand the technology. OP states that he decided to compete with his brother with the money he received from his grandmother, depicting a sense of pure luck in this scenario.
Quote from: Eric Finman "I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then it’s your own fault." Seems like a bit of a stupid quote coming from someone who off a stroke of pure luck became a millionaire. He really did no work and in fact, if his brother didn't introduce him into bitcoin he would be like the rest of the nobodies in the world. It is completely different in the real world, people work their asses off and can still barely makes ends meat. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: hyunee on October 02, 2019, 01:44:12 PM Is this also the kid that became a millionaire out of bitcoin but friends and families are doubting him? Well, if it is him, then anything is possible.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: yohananaomi on October 02, 2019, 01:54:03 PM =snip= Sometimes intelligence isn't needed to get to the right place, and even luck can be enough! I don't know which applies to Eric. But I think it would be more correct to judge people not with their wealth, but with the way they have come from the beginning, with their moral values and personality. Still intelligence is clearly needed for daily relationships and for work. but the matter of luck cannot be determined by one's intelligence. luck can come to everyone and no one can avoid it. agree with you that don't always determine people from their wealth but from the morals they do. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Hippocrypto on October 02, 2019, 02:02:20 PM His brother is the one whom needs to be appreciated.

This is simply awesome, to see the brother perfectly study the younger ones mind and do the needful. I don't know now whether Eric is supporting his brothers. It's very interesting and inspiring to know that at a younger age Erik got the interest and curiosity about the potential of cryptocurrency when he first heard about it from his brother. With his determination, commitment, and creativity, he succeeded and give back to the community, he used his fortune to fund educational business.I do hope that the story of this young man could give more lesson to those who prospected bitcoin as an investment. Other people happen to know bitcoin by false information coming from non-reliable articles that spreads online. Having a mindset similar to this guy at his younger age is worth of praises. It's not too late to start from scratch, reaching your dreams with bitcoin is not impossible regardless if you're old or young. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Sithara007 on October 02, 2019, 02:03:42 PM This kid comes from a very rich family and fortunately for him, his investment gave him very good returns. He could take the risk, because for his family it was a small amount. But such fairy tales don't happen very often to ordinary people. Anyway, I hope that he continues to stay invested in Bitcoin as his returns can grow by manifold in the next few years.
BTW, early investors with any asset are bound to become rich and it is true in the case of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum as well. Back in 2011 and 2012 the exchange rates were pretty much stagnant, and no one would have imagined that Bitcoin exchange rate would climb to five digits. Those who invested during that era, took a great deal of risk.

Nowadays, many people are trying to get up with the help of bitcoin and many of us are working hard, invest hard, grind hard to earn some money out of it. We should have own technique and skills to be successful. Being smart and creative is given to each one of us so we should make it happen with the help of that skills. Being one of the early successful and millionaire is very amazing and inspiring to other people for them to work more harder.Being one of the early successful and millionaire is very amazing and inspiring to other people for them to work more harder. That's good for him because his grandmother has enough money to buy bitcoin at that time when its value is still low during his young age the reason why he is a millionaire now.

again listen to his brother and investing on what he has very little knowledge of at that age is commendable, grownups need too many convincing about crypto, still some won't take it very serious, but here is a 16 years who yield the advice of his brother without too much stress, today, his a proud millionaire, he has a business mind i can tell, i hope other young ones can emulate him.

I can see that he made his first Bitcoin purchase back in 2013. I was unaware of cryptocurrency until 2017, when one of my friends introduced me to Bitcoin. I feel jealous now... However it was a bad decision to sell his coins later that year. He should have held on to them for a longer duration. He made millions and even chances was been missed but he already enjoying those profits that he acquired, sometimes being stable and contented with what you've got is more better than chasing more stress, there's no one who can imagine that the sudden bull of 2017 will happen after all. He's smartand he used it to take advantage of learning everything from every opportunities for him.

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: debuni on October 03, 2019, 01:46:13 AM There is indeed no age to learn and enrich your knowledge, and there is also no age to invest and grow your assets. For me For me business and business is something we have from a very young age, we can't stop thinking about the future and making more profits.
This kid comes from a very rich family and fortunately for him, his investment gave him very good returns. He could take the risk, because for his family it was a small amount. But such fairy tales don't happen very often to ordinary people. Anyway, I hope that he continues to stay invested in Bitcoin as his returns can grow by manifold in the next few years. High risk high reward!BTW, early investors with any asset are bound to become rich and it is true in the case of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum as well. Back in 2011 and 2012 the exchange rates were pretty much stagnant, and no one would have imagined that Bitcoin exchange rate would climb to five digits. Those who invested during that era, took a great deal of risk.

This boy right here is already a priveleged boy, he became rich because his family is already one and he only get lucky on betting sites. I mean, we have numerous people here that are far better and deserve more to be the point of comparison and inspiration, they have really persevere unlike this person right here.

People have much to learn from this child. Bitcoin will still grow and we not late so don't sell and hold onto your bitcoin.

If there is talent from this world, then good things can be done.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: bounceback on October 13, 2019, 03:50:13 AM if now it is no longer surprising that an 18-year-old boy becomes successful in bitcoin especially like a boy born to rich parents who can afford him a loan of $ 1,000 to invest in bitcoin, in my opinion it is not a small amount of money given by his grandmother, and now he is a very lucky child because he has succeeded in becoming a billionaire with the capital lent by his grandmother.

I think it depends on what they are accessing, if they use it to learn then yes, they can be on the top in the future but if they use it to browse non-sense, or play without acquiring new knowledge in day to day activities, then I can see a future failure on them. Still, I believe this story is made-up. Uses a person to fabiracate stuff and make him popular to use in some scheme. I do believe his parents or older keen is the one behind those Bitcoin and use him as the role model to exaggerate stuff and bring high emotion to the table.

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: LUCKMCFLY on October 27, 2019, 09:02:51 PM ~snip~ There is an important factor to consider, his brother gave him a book, he learned a lot from there, which leads him to think that he spent some time to increase his financial IQ, quickly realized that Bitcoin represents money that can be increased by entering The market at the right stage. Many become millionaires, but after a while they are poor, the idea is not to become rich fast, but to know how to remain a millionaire, it is certainly an inspiring story, which leads the market to be studied with moderation, identify the corresponding stages of the market. If a person has enough money to invest in Bitcoin right now, he will surely be a millionaire in about 2 or 3 years, he took a few dollars compared to what they are worth today. However, with Bitcoin you can quickly become a millionaire, because waiting 2 or 3 years with a strong investment is a time worth waiting for. The Stock Market gives many options in investment, but its market is much slower, around 8 to 10 years for an important movement to occur, however in Bitcoin no, volatility can be used as a great advantage.

This is just a summarized of his journey. Eric Finman is just a typical 16 year old student who is bright and creative. He has smart two brothers and he is the youngest. He is into latest technologies. When his brother introduced digital currencies (bitcoin) at 2013 who his brother brought 50 bitcoins. He decided to compete his brother by buying hundreds of bitcoin worth $1,000 in which his grandmother's gave. His brother Ross gave him a book by Ohanian ( a co-founder of Reddit), which indicates the power of internet and which got Eric's attention and interests. He is eager to meet him but there is $8,500 fee which made his parents think it was too much. With his eagerness he founds out and discovered that the bitcoin reached $1,200 and he sold his bitcoin to $100,000. Finally, he met Ohanian. It amazed him how matured enough Eric when it comes to technology. One time, as a freelancer, he make a Flappy Bird knockoff game and Ohanian is an eye opener for Eric's eagerness to use internet as a source of income. He produce his own programmers, etc. And made his own company. I just thought Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest millionare. Now, it is Eric Finman. Here is my favorite line from my idol, Quote from: Eric Finman "I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then it’s your own fault." He is now 18 years old. Despite of being disppointment in terms of education, he is now a successful and the youngest millionare by bitcoin and by his innovations and by being creative. Read the full article here.

This was in the $200 bitcoin range and there were no bitcoin ATMs in my area so people used peer to peer to buy and sell bitcoins.
This individual showed me his BTC wallet and at the time he had a net value of $400,000, keep in mind that this was in 2014-2015 or so, so if he held everything till now he would of been a multi-millionaire. I told him not to show off his bitcoin holdings due to security reasons. I told him to send a small amount of BTC to a new address and sell his coins that way so the person buying them doesn't know his true balance. Haven't heard from him since. He said he made most of his money by mining bitcoin and litecoin and I think dogecoin.

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Aying on October 29, 2019, 07:23:50 AM rich at a young age with bitcoin is extraordinary. how the story of a boy can have a long view into the future and survive even though he knows he has earned a lot of money and continues to survive until he becomes a billionaire. whether greed or luck but I hope I can also follow in his footsteps. At his young stage his very dedicated to create her life better to become most youngest millionaire. with the announcement spread everyone will work hard and learn hard to become millionaire too because they are inspired. most of people now will see that crypto currency will make them more richer and give them better life not just negative rumors they heard in people who helpless in their lives. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: acroman08 on October 29, 2019, 07:56:57 AM He was originally born in a family rich, not universal, not from scratch, and therefore cannot be used as an example. even if he is born in a rich family it still doesn't change the fact that he became the first teenager to become a millionaire because if bitcoin. you must realize most kid in his age wouldn't even consider investing in anything let alone cryptocurrency and him as a kid showed interest in bitcoin and investing in it shows that he believed in the technology. even if he barely did anything to become a millionaire I still give him credit for what he did.

I like your point. It's barely hard for kids to get into latest technology development unless newest game or newest app for their phones. Talking about his family's wealthy, I believe there were many kids from rich family at that time who had chance to buy bitcoin but they didn't do that because it simply didn't attract them. And this kid and his brother did. They deserve what they invested.

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: karanggatak on October 30, 2019, 11:07:16 AM I am talking about Eric Finman. https://i.ibb.co/MkcYFCV/26-bitcoin-w700-h700-2x.jpg Image source (http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2014/12/bitcoin-boy-erik-finman.html) An inspiring story that is worth to read. This is just a summarized of his journey. Eric Finman is just a typical 16 year old student who is bright and creative. He has smart two brothers and he is the youngest. He is into latest technologies. When his brother introduced digital currencies (bitcoin) at 2013 who his brother brought 50 bitcoins. He decided to compete his brother by buying hundreds of bitcoin worth $1,000 in which his grandmother's gave. His brother Ross gave him a book by Ohanian ( a co-founder of Reddit), which indicates the power of internet and which got Eric's attention and interests. He is eager to meet him but there is $8,500 fee which made his parents think it was too much. With his eagerness he founds out and discovered that the bitcoin reached $1,200 and he sold his bitcoin to $100,000. Finally, he met Ohanian. It amazed him how matured enough Eric when it comes to technology. One time, as a freelancer, he make a Flappy Bird knockoff game and Ohanian is an eye opener for Eric's eagerness to use internet as a source of income. He produce his own programmers, etc. And made his own company. I just thought Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest millionare. Now, it is Eric Finman. Here is my favorite line from my idol, Quote from: Eric Finman "I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then it’s your own fault." He is now 18 years old. Despite of being disppointment in terms of education, he is now a successful and the youngest millionare by bitcoin and by his innovations and by being creative. Read the full article here. (http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2014/12/bitcoin-boy-erik-finman.html) True, nothing is impossible to be a millionaire like the teenager above with bitcoin. when we want to try hard and think creatively, I think dreams can definitely be achieved. I think all of that is very encouraging news, and can be a motivation for us all to always strive to the maximum and look for new innovations that will make our dreams come true soon. if you can't buy when the price of bitcoin is at a low price at that time, don't look back, keep going and think about the future from now on. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Dabs on October 30, 2019, 01:48:21 PM This individual showed me his BTC wallet and at the time he had a net value of $400,000, keep in mind that this was in 2014-2015 or so, so if he held everything till now he would of been a multi-millionaire. This sounds like a much better story. If he kept most of that, even at 10x, he'd have $4 million, which would be more than enough for him, even if he got out of crypto completely at that point. Even if he doesn't invest it anywhere else and just keeps in in a HISA, he'd have $40k a year for the next hundred years. Unfortunately, we'd never really know, and most likely at such a young age, they might make the mistake of spending it all on useless stuff. Hopefully he improves his life and keeps it for a rainy day.

To get a different perspective of life, speak to a slum boy someday! He was just lucky to have a rich family! 1,000 $ is a huge sum of money here in my country and can buy a home. So he could easily reach a million dollars especially since he was an early adopter of bitcoin where the price has not yet boom! When I was at his age, I don’t think I have the privilege to even 10 percent of that amount, but one thing that I have learnt from this story which many young people should also learn is that when you have the privilege in life, they should take advantage of it. He could have used the money to play game or gamble, but he invested it. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: jayce on October 31, 2019, 09:00:46 AM That is it, for you to really make it in life, you still need financial support, imagine if he does not have that $1000, or as a young boy which in my country, many of people like this still love under their roof of their parents who hardly give them money because they are either still in high school or just about finishing high school and the only money they are having access to are all these little pocket monies which may now even be upt0 $10 per month.

He got his first bitcoin because of the money from his grandmom. I believe if he asked $8,500 to meet Ohanian, surely his grandmom will give him while his parents felt it was too much lol.

I'm very sure, even if he is from rich family, his parents wont give him $1,000 just like that. But hey, a grandmother always be the most lovely person in the world. She will give you anything you want as long as she still can afford it.

Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: mikehersh2 on December 17, 2019, 09:33:24 PM Quote from: Eric Finman "I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then it’s your own fault." A very bold statement for someone who grew their initial capital almost purely on luck. He did not work hard or grind for this million dollars, he simply was curious about an up-and-coming digital currency and bought some with his family's money. I'm not saying that he is spoiled or impulsive in doing so, but to say that he was driven to become a millionaire within 10 years and did so by working hard seems like BS to me. Back in middle school I was introduced to bitcoin when it was worth just a few hundred dollars. I had made some profit but a lot of my BTC was spent on steam games and god knows what else. Looking back at my transactions now I see figures like $450 spent on PUBG. Yes its frustrating that I didn't save it all, but I do not blame myself, as at the time I did not have the insight to understand what bitcoin was and how it could potentially grow, how to hold investments and etc. And as smart as this little boy may have been... I doubt he had the insight either, it was just pure luck. If this boy wants to show off what he has done, then let him, its a fantastic accomplishment and it shows how the changing world is giving people opportunities to cash in who may have not had those opportunities in the past. But to say it is someone's fault if they don't become a millionaire in a decade is preposterous, as it wasn't even his own "fault" or own-doing that made him a millionaire either.

and bought some bitcoins and forgot it for a long time then when the coin starts a bullrun suddenly the boy realize he got some coins and exchange it to cash I think thats how he became billionaire Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: JeffBrad12 on December 17, 2019, 10:26:01 PM seems like luckiness is the biggest factor here although I must admit that the part of creating his own company is his hardwork. you can't really blame yourself after 10 years of hardwork and you failed to become a millionaire. everyone has their own luck and there are some people who are really hard working and smart struggles to create fortune or in other word trying to become a millionaire but failed miserably.

Many investors try to invest their money on this kind because they predict on the future and they become a millionaire; I think this child has a lot of help from his parents because on that young age they are not paying attention to those things they don't know. Still, if the parents have enough knowledge in using cryptocurrency, it has a good future for the child because, at an early age, he knows how to trade perfectly soon. Because in the next coming year the price of the bitcoin grows up or falls, it depends on the market, so this kind of scenario is easy to manage to him. seems like luckiness is the biggest factor here although I must admit that the part of creating his own company is his hardwork. you can't really blame yourself after 10 years of hardwork and you failed to become a millionaire. everyone has their own luck and there are some people who are really hard working and smart struggles to create fortune or in other word trying to become a millionaire but failed miserably. By the support of his parents on using cryptocurrency, he becomes the youngest millionaire of bitcoin. Still, this kind of power takes a lot of guidance from his parents because of too much money he already got. Also, it helps to his future they can use the earning money to the future of the family, education of the child or to reinvest in bitcoin because they know how to grow up the bitcoin rapidly for this coming years, so they know how to improve it again with a lot of profits Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: fauzan Ichsan on December 18, 2019, 04:04:27 AM He believed and he made himself a millionaire out of bitcoin.

Some kids get tons of money from their parents and grandparents and squander it on so much useless stuff, he didn't, he invested it, so kudos to him to be fair, even if he does come from a privileged background. I had a very rich cousin who died from cancer at 56 because he lived a really bad lifestyle and squandered all his parent's wealth and was lazily sitting in the hot sun for months on end, so his skin got exposed and he got melanoma and died, from laziness and stupid living. I feel sad for him but at the same time, he had everything ut never invested it wisely like this kid. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Zemomtum on January 05, 2020, 10:31:35 PM The story is not motivational. There are a lot of things involved. He could have not achieved anything if not because of the $1000 from his grandmother, how many folks that their parent can afford to just give that to a small boy? It doesn't become Millionaire naturally using the internet or brain, it is supported financially. Anyone that invested such amount in Bitcoin in the year 2013 will equally be in the same position even someone that has not attained his age. It is not something that is so special
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: trickshot22 on January 05, 2020, 10:53:51 PM This kid comes from a very wealthy family and he was fortunate to have a very good return on his investment. He was able to take the risk because it was a small amount for his family. But such fairy tales do not happen to ordinary people very often. Anyway, I hope he will remain invested in Bitcoin as his returns in the next few years can grow by a few times. Wish I was an early investor too.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: drlukacs on January 06, 2020, 03:22:00 AM This is very lucky. This story I think is somewhat fortunate among technology enthusiasts. Frankly, in my country when I meet people who are rich thanks to bitcoin, they also say that this is lucky because they don't think it was chosen as an asset to manipulate. In fact, criminals have laundered money here quite a lot and it has also accidentally caused the value of bitcoin to rise. but it must be acknowledged that now there are quite a number of young people who have made it so the achievements are remarkable, congratulations to Eric Finman.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: d3nz on January 06, 2020, 08:58:47 AM He's very inspiring and since he already know the bitcoin last 2013 and bought a lot of bitcoin then obviously he became rich of it. I hope that i already knew bitcoin before and bought a lot too but i think it's part of the timeline of our life to know and enchanced our skills and knowledge.
And this is one of the reason on why we should buy bitcoin and some altcoin that has potential to increase its value in thr future. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Eugenar on January 06, 2020, 09:04:32 AM If we can just predict the future, his profits isn't just hight as that but could be more than that in fact. Though in those years bitcoin isn't steady yet and unpredictable but still a wise move there which could serve as an inspiration to many others here who are just starting to hodle volumes of bitcoin. I wonder if he still bought bitcoin after that, knowing how much bitcoin today is, would probably give him more money. Though this rich stories will not be productive if he doesn't know how to inspire people to adopt to cryptocurrency.
Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Darooghe on January 06, 2020, 11:09:58 AM You could buy 1 bitcoin for 100 USD in 2013, that 100 USD is now worth 90 USD due to inflation. There is no getting rich there is only getting sound money. So if we hit again 20,000 USD or even more let's say 100,000 USD. Wouldn't that made so much people millionair? I think No because most people are going to be holding and spending bitcoin the next ten years, some getting out entirely. What if it's 20 years until the next bullrun? A lot of people that want to get rich will be gone, the believers in sound money will see a decent gain on their sound money.

Though this rich stories will not be productive if he doesn't know how to inspire people to adopt to cryptocurrency. He knows that technology is evolving, and he knows the potential of it because if he's just an ordinary person just like me who knows nothing at all with the technology when I was in his age, then of course I won't take risk my money unless I have too much money and my friend told my about the potential of it, other than that I won't know as well. Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Aurora Castro on January 06, 2020, 04:46:01 PM I am talking about Eric Finman. https://i.ibb.co/MkcYFCV/26-bitcoin-w700-h700-2x.jpg Image source (http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2014/12/bitcoin-boy-erik-finman.html) An inspiring story that is worth to read. This is just a summarized of his journey. Eric Finman is just a typical 16 year old student who is bright and creative. He has smart two brothers and he is the youngest. He is into latest technologies. When his brother introduced digital currencies (bitcoin) at 2013 who his brother brought 50 bitcoins. He decided to compete his brother by buying hundreds of bitcoin worth $1,000 in which his grandmother's gave. His brother Ross gave him a book by Ohanian ( a co-founder of Reddit), which indicates the power of internet and which got Eric's attention and interests. He is eager to meet him but there is $8,500 fee which made his parents think it was too much. With his eagerness he founds out and discovered that the bitcoin reached $1,200 and he sold his bitcoin to $100,000. Finally, he met Ohanian. It amazed him how matured enough Eric when it comes to technology. One time, as a freelancer, he make a Flappy Bird knockoff game and Ohanian is an eye opener for Eric's eagerness to use internet as a source of income. He produce his own programmers, etc. And made his own company. I just thought Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest millionare. Now, it is Eric Finman. Here is my favorite line from my idol, Quote from: Eric Finman "I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then it’s your own fault." He is now 18 years old. Despite of being disppointment in terms of education, he is now a successful and the youngest millionare by bitcoin and by his innovations and by being creative. Read the full article here. (http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2014/12/bitcoin-boy-erik-finman.html) Many will call it luck, I call it intelligence. Well, they are unique opportunities in life, he saw the opportunity and I do not hesitate to take it. Maybe not everyone has the opportunity to invest in a Bitcoin, but we can think about how to get it. It should Not be said: I can't do it... The right thing is to say: How can I do it? That way your mind will be programmed and start working on it. Excellent motivational story. One more example that nothing is impossible. It's about exploiting our creativity. ;D ;D Title: Re: How 18-year old boy became Millionare from Bitcoin Post by: Dabs on January 06, 2020, 04:58:24 PM Short term, we don't really know how it goes. We can make guesses, but your guess is as good as mine. I don't believe in signals or day trading this particular asset class, not unless you have some information from the dev team, particularly from altcoins.
Long term, just buy and hold for several years, you'll be in a good position. |
