One of the biggest advantages of Bitcoin, there are no age limitations, even porn has it's limits when it comes to age, imagine you're 12 and

Walking into a bank asking the manager that you want to open a bank account, well at some banks they wont even allow you to enter the fucking

Bank if you're a minor, but even if you manage to enter then by the laws of government you wont be able to open any thing unless your parents

Go with you and open a savings account in your behalf. I like this about BTC very much all you need is an address which you could generate one

Online and then if you've got cash you just go and buy some coins face to face then you are your own bank. I'm happy for him and I'm happy for

Myself to get to know about Bitcoin this early, yes it is still early, just wait another 10 years to see what happens.

I heard the exact same story but happened just recently to a student in C.S and decided to drop out because he became a quarter of a millionaire over night..
but with Ethereum instead.

It was on reddit a little while ago.
Lost the link to it though.

Lucky kid but it is not a good example for other 12 year old kids to follow. Now that he has less pressure financially in his life, he should set out to finish school and get a degree. What is a million dollars if you have an empty head resting on your shoulders?

I also wouldn't brag about it and keep it to myself. The less people know how much money you got the better and bitcoin gives you a chance to keep it a secret. If you spill the beans and get robbed, or injured by someone, you got only yourself to blame. Also wealth attracts certain kind of people. He'll now have many "true" friends coming out of the woodwork.

Exactly. If I suddenly become a millionaire, I wouldn't want the entire world to know. That would make me a walking target.

Successful businessmen throughout history have demonstrated that you don't need a college/school degree to be successful. Schools and colleges are meant to churn out mindless drones who can be good obedient employees and Yes-men. School is a waste of time for a boy like him who has tremendous entrepreneurial acumen. He should continue doing what he loves.

Bitcoin is NOT a TOKEN!
Please show proper respect for the giant who is due to reawaken and eat the ETH bubble machine for lunch.
