Smart kid, but he made 1 mistake, he should have holded at least some of his coins.
Or does his website accept coins?

I love the deal he made with his parents, if he makes 1 million before 18 he doesn't have to go to college.

I find it interesting that there were several threads on this forum shortly before this story came out that were asking if someone under 18 could trade bitcoin on an exchange |

So what do you think? He will sit at home with just school education? He will go to college, but will be free to chose the subject he want. Or he could do some correspondence course from home. |

He will likely not need to to college if his business is successful enough. Many successful business owners either did not go to college or they dropped out of college. |

Good for him! Not many 15 year old kids would have the vision, focus, or commitment to start their own business. he is gaining incredible skills and experience for someone his age, definitely going to be successful in life.

Good luck to him. I hope he's done his research, this has been tried a few times before and failed.

TBH not sure how far $100k will go to pay developers to maintain and add features to a site like this, if that's his bankroll he needs to be making money pretty quick off the bat.

Good point. Even if he does make that million by 18, he should still go to college. 1 million at that age isn't a lot of money considering how long he has to live. Kid seems pretty damn smart though, so I'm sure he will figure it out. I'd still head to college though, who knows the valuable connections he could make while there. |

If his business survives for 5 years, chances are that it will allow him to live off of the business's earnings, if it fails within 5 years then he would not be too old to go to college then and finish school and still have most of his life ahead of him |
