+1.  Do this, then tell your parents about it. 

That's actually a good plan if you don't want your parents finding out.

the moment you double your money sell half your coins and put the money back in the account. then you will have 6 bitcoins and your parents will never be the wiser  

its probably going back to $150, just don't sell, hold for 5 years and they will be 50 - 100K by then

+1 good advice

You've got balls kid. Pretty good decision IMO, despite being on the risky side. General advice is not to invest more than you can afford to lose. However, you've clearly done your research and seem a lot more informed than a lot of people that post on here.

certainly not me.

$2k is only 500% away

but whatever. you're obviously a troll.

That's the wrong attitude. As much as all of us would love to see BTC succeed we have to face the fact that it might not.

Although scared money don't make money  . I think you made the right choice, just don't be disappointed if it fails.

Cryptocurrency is the future, that much is obvious.

$2,000 a bitcoin??
its going much higher than that

Don't troll the kid.

Kid: hold, minimum 2 years.

You should sell soon

Or sell as much to break-even, and keep the remaining 10% or so coins. This is conservative strategy

i hope you didn't put the majority of your funds in bitcoin and that it's a relatively small amount of your funds. never invest what you can't afford to lose.

Forget about bitcoin for a couple of years

Bitcoin is Fiat in its purest sense, be prepared

Hello Young Sir, (assuming you're no troll, i.e. you're story is 'real')

There are so many things that could be said to you and many have been said. So I'll be as brief as possible.

I think your move is very smart, but perhaps not wise. Not conferring with your parents on this move may end up making that relationship quite difficult, in, at least, a few moments. However, you seem to see the 'light' when it comes to understanding the potential value for the BTC protocol, which is why you're here. You've done some research (enough? I don't know), and to an impressive degree for a 'kid'. So, you should realize that you'll need to reckon with this disingenuousness at some point. 

Further, you should know that some of the most important things in life are: learning how to have healthy relationships (not being deceitful for ex), hard work, humility, and decentness as a human being. These are the things that will make your life awesome. And, YES, travel helps one broaden quite a bit as a person.

I'd like to advise you to consider learning computer science, and continuing your interest in either internet security, back end/front end/full stack development, data science, cryptography or one of many of the other great areas around the Bitcoin world, which you clearly have interest in. That way, by 15 or 16 or 17 or 18, you should be able to command a very healthy income for your work (and age), which should easily pay for your travel! See what I'm doing there? Leave the small amount of Bitcoins out of the conversation and ensure that you can get what you have your heart set on!! Take your life into your own hands further than just making a smart bet! Become a young person OF value, and you will have all the riches you desire.

I'm speaking from example, by the way. I may be quite a bit older, but I'm changing my career right now-- I'm learning Ruby! The best three careers in the country (US) have typically been: doctor, lawyer and engineer. These days there are a glut of lawyers, and doctors are getting hammered by work hours and exorbitant insurance costs. That leaves one awesome opportunity, if you like it and if you're technically minded.  Technology has found its way into almost every other industry. Imagine in 10, 20, 30, 50 years...

Best of luck, and keep us posted, PLEASE. 

P.S. What did you buy in at?

ha thanks!

Why did your oarents give you access to that fund??

have fun holding dollars.

I would've waited to buy in on a dip, or just bought 5 BTC now and waited a week or so to see what happens before buying the rest, but hey it's your money. As long as you plan on holding long-term I think you'll be good.
