Me too I'm also wondering how could the parents of this young boy trusted him with such a huge amount but I think it is too big for a 12 year old boy to handle. Aside a 12 year old boy must have a friend or relative that is also interested with bitcoin that's why he invested it too. It is inspirational indeed coz not everyone will do the same, if you were able to give a 12 year old me, you'll see me flexing my new toys to my friends haha lol.

Wise and smart boy  

Actually, he was always rich thanks to his family even before he invested in BTC. This story has been around for ages and almost everyone from the crypto community know about him and his success story.

It is an epic accomplishment, but not extraordinary in my opinion. Luck played a greater role in his success. He basically hit the jackpot thanks to his smart decisions.

Have that question in mind to think that a 12 year old boy had given 1k bucks wayback 7 years ago which basically means his family is already have that rich family?

I can say that some early adopter or to those people who bought bitcoin just because of mere curiosity or just going with the trend on that time are considered lucky.

I myself wont be sure if would tend to buy something online that having almost no value.For those who risked up then it did really paid of.

Exactly my thoughts! Even me who was already working for almost 10 years now had a hard time before achieving a thousand dollars of savings which eventually ended up for house renovations lol.
Haven't read the whole story (I'm just being cautious with the link I opened) but I think this boy had a rich parents, who can afford to give him $1,000 anytime. So, I guess this boy was just experimenting and pushing his luck and buy Bitcoin before It costs $1,000, and I guess this was way around 6-9 years ago.
Anyway, this is really an interesting story which will somehow inspire us to buy more Bitcoin lol.

Even if an average person works for that it would take them almost a year to earn at least $1,000 so I am guessing that teenage kid's parents were rich af to be given. If I was one of the early investors I might be millionaire too but unfortunately it's a little too late when I discovered Bitcoin and the use of it. I know most of us here would be like that someday but anyway I am that inspired though since I don't see the hard work in there but only the luck to grab the opportunity.

That's a few great stories, being a millionaire at he of 19 is very inspirational, we are all dreaming to be a millionaire someday and it is not that easy to be. We should do many things before we became like that, experience and hardworking are the best things we should have so we may also become that boy.

There are many things he had faced before he comes millionaire imagine he started at the age of 12 and became a billionaire at the age of 19 it's been 7 years on the process and that is too quick for a young boy who only starts for having $1000, I amazed on what are the things he had done before he became a billionaire. Investing is not enough to be like him, he had done so many mining websites I think.

Of course, luck was present, so I agree with you. After reading this story, one thing haunts me. How much a person developed an entrepreneurial spirit in those years. I think that parents would not give the child 12 years $ 1000 if they were not sure of him. He really deserves these millions.

l have reached my college life and even graduated from this but don't have this amount in my account,i only taste this amount when i started working on my own.
actually i believe that i have read this same story back in 2017 ,but cannot find the thread posted long time ago.is this the same thread link? https://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/20/bitcoin-millionaire-erik-finman-says-going-to-college-isnt-worth-it.html?fbclid=IwAR09sb1fbkAkKKkRjnrDVdeTC4N1VAfHXUsbdITWG8PmBEahmifqdMukoh0
of course all of us dream of having this amount but the old days are gone now and there are few chances that we have now.

to be inspired by this 19 year old boy you would have to be a person with good financial conditions


Of course it is a very good thing, but we have to assess the circumstances that allowed this boy to become a millionaire at that age, not anyone who becomes a millionaire at that age if he is poor. The conditions that relatives have can dictate whether person is likely to be a millionaire at that age or not


if you look at the african continent, you will realize that this is the salary of a good engineer who serves to support a family of at least 5 people. so you can already imagine that for a person who studied a lot in africa and earns 1000 $ month of salary and has 5 children it is difficult for their children to have $1000 in the savings account


Here we have to analyze two things:

1 - The parents of this 12-year-old boy had good living conditions and for that reason gave that $1000

2 - As this boy parents had good living conditions, he had no need to use the $1000, so if he lost the $1000 it would not be a problem


someone once said: "dreams don't pay taxes" 

But it is very good to dream and work hard and honestly to become a millionaire

The influence of parents also seems to be the reason why this 12-year-old child can invest in bitcoin with $ 1k money obtained from his mother. and also this kid is smart and genius enough to invest in Bitcoin as if he knows that Birtcoin in the future will benefit him very much.

The parents of this child must have been rich and had lots of money, so his mother gave him a gift of $ 1k at the age of 12, at such a young age I had never held that much money.
