Yeah i think that happened awhile ago. I think the kid took to reddit to ask what he should do with the bitcoins because he never had that much money in his life. People were telling him to hold most and sell a few

This is awesome. But still I see BlockChain.info says one can win BTC if they tweet about them. I did, but did not get any. Anyone knows how it works ?

I remember reading he bought doge coins with half of his money, this was around the time it was at .00000039 BTC. He might have like made 25+BTC off that doge spike.

From the article:

Wright told CoinDesk that he elected to receive the 10 BTC prize package, as his minor status might prohibit him from truly enjoying his vacation. But, despite the implications, the young photographer says he plans to spend his money responsibly.

“I have been getting a lot of suggestions to buy cocaine and hookers, but I’m probably going to save instead,” Wright said.


I guess he definitely didn't listen to anyone around these parts! Everyone's first instinct to getting some BTC is "hookers and blow" it seems.

Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that...

He's lucky, though at that age being a BTC supporter, he deserved it.
