Sure let's give it to the boy, if wishes were horses, every teenager out there, should be owing hundreds of Bitcoin by now, but most 12 years would have spent their $1000 gift on video games and the likes, but here was a young entrepreneur, who apparently understood the power behind Hodl, well beyond many grown ups. It is true that fortune smiles most often, on the prepared and bold!
