In January 2012, Erik Finman was 12 years old then.
His grandmother gave him $1000, and he put all of it into Bitcoin.

Bitcoin was trading at roughly $10 to $12 per coin at the time; he bought around 100 Bitcoin.

-His parents and teachers told him it was a waste. 😡

-His high school teachers told him he was going nowhere.

-He made a bet with his parents: if he became a millionaire before turning 18, they would not force him to go to college.
By 2013 Bitcoin hit $1,200, and his $1,000 investment had grown to around $100,000.

He used some of the gains to start a small education start-up called Botangle at 13 yrs old.

He sold Botangle in 2014 for 300 Bitcoin. 🧏
At that point Bitcoin was around $200; that sale added 300 more coins to his stack at what turned out to be a cycle low.

By 2017, when Bitcoin (BTC) hit 🎯 $18,000, Erik Finman was 18 years old. 🗝️
His Bitcoin was worth over $4 million.
🥢 He won the bet.
🥢 He never went to college.
🥢 His parents had to put it in writing.
🥢 He said in an interview that his teachers had told him he would end up working at McDonald's.

*At Bitcoin's peak in October 2025 at $126,198, his original 100 coins from the $1,000 investment would have been worth $12.6 million.

*His additional 300 Bitcoin from the Botangle sale would have been worth $37.8 million.
