I find such stories more damaging than inspiring unlike what many of the previous comments see it. I think when these stories like this are advertising bitcoin as something that you could buy in early days and become rich, aka a get rich magic investment. and that is not what we want and that is definitely not what bitcoin is created to do.
of course price is always a part of bitcoin since it is rising a lot and will continue to rise for many years to come but the biggest reason for this rise is that bitcoin is a decentralized currency that is offering something unique that the centralized fiat can not.

A good inspiring message from a teen. Luck was on his part and he make judicious used of the opportunity to become a millionaire in cryptocurrency. This is a positive news even though the news is outdated. Would love to increase my portfolio in order to make a reasonable amount of money when the bull run will start.

It's a big statement! An 18 year old male who grew up in an affluent family, is not a good fit for making such statement! Becoming a millionaire doesn't make you eligible for such statements!
Being millionaire through investing in Bitcoin is risky. I would save some bucks on a regular basis if I ever wanted to be a millionaire.
Pretty happy for this young guy at least he is a millionaire. I hope he will buy again a lot of bitcoins with his million

Every people have their own chance to be millionaire.
5 years ago, I can made $ 100.000 profit if I sold all of my bank's balance for crypto.
9 years ago, if I knew crypto will make me rich, I will leave my collage and start investing crypto
So it's a matter on how fast do you believe on something unpredictable !?

Well, he was a lucky young boy who had already a rich family. He can actually buy more bitcoin if he can afford it, he has begun to purchased bitcoin in the year of 2011 which bitcoin is very cheap. And now, he is very well-known for his very young age he became a multi-millionaire after he received a gift from his grandmother. Each of us has a different background of our family and maybe he just can afford and luckily he early discover bitcoin while it is cheap and he's not depending on what he invested.
Whether it is true or not He became rich through bitcoin, all I can say is that bitcoin can be a way for us to change our lives and it could help us to become rich or lead us down to poor situation. Because, as far as I know bitcoin was a volatile digital currency were there is no stable in terms of price. But this was just my opinion only.
Indeed it is one of the ways that can change our lives most especially if we are smart in handling our bitcoins, it just a matter of properly managing your bitcoins. This boy however has an edge over the other investors because he is from a rich family and he was given thousands of dollars just to buy what he wants and in this case he bought bitcoins. I'm sorry but I don't envy or i'm not really inspired by his story knowing he didn't get bitcoins from hard work, he was given money to buy it and sell it at the time where bitcoin's price is high, though I can say he is smart because he was able to sell it at the time where he can get high profits. It would have been better if he started from scratch.
I am talking about Eric Finman.
An inspiring story that is worth to read.
This is just a summarized of his journey.
Eric Finman is just a typical 16 year old student who is bright and creative. He has smart two brothers and he is the youngest. He is into latest technologies. When his brother introduced digital currencies (bitcoin) at 2013 who his brother brought 50 bitcoins. He decided to compete his brother by buying hundreds of bitcoin worth $1,000 in which his grandmother's gave.
His brother Ross gave him a book by Ohanian ( a co-founder of Reddit), which indicates the power of internet and which got Eric's attention and interests. He is eager to meet him but there is $8,500 fee which made his parents think it was too much. With his eagerness he founds out and discovered that the bitcoin reached $1,200 and he sold his bitcoin to $100,000.
Finally, he met Ohanian. It amazed him how matured enough Eric when it comes to technology. One time, as a freelancer, he make a Flappy Bird knockoff game and Ohanian is an eye opener for Eric's eagerness to use internet as a source of income.
He produce his own programmers, etc. And made his own company.
I just thought Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest millionare. Now, it is Eric Finman.
Here is my favorite line from my idol,
He is now 18 years old. Despite of being disppointment in terms of education, he is now a successful and the youngest millionare by bitcoin and by his innovations and by being creative.

It would be infinitely more awesome if someone became a Bitcoin millionaire by starting from scratch.
Still waiting for a story where some random kid invested his money that he earned by himself into Bitcoin.
Lol, imagine someone mowing lawns and asking to get paid in Bitcoin, with a bit of luck they could have a nice bit of savings when they're 18

So, how did he become a millionaire because of bitcoin when the story goes like this?
Last time I checked 100 000 is ten times less than a million
Another clickbait topic?

Lol nice catch, I also wonder why he is the youngest millionaire when he just sold his BTC totalling $100k. Either way, I am not inspired with his story, would have better seeing someone who has none, working hard for BTC payment, saving it until the value of his saving turns to $1 million. I believe this kind of story is just a made up or make believe story just to highlight how BTC can get you rich fast. And the story isn't about him making millions with his Bitcoin savings but rather the turn of events that happen in his life. And I believe there is someone who is pulling the string behind this person's success.
I have already heard and read many real life stories like this before that they become rich because of Bitcoin. All that i can say that they are very lucky that they never think twice in joining Bitcoin investments in which they become prospher in life unlike most of us here that no matter how hard we tried but its look like we need to become fortunate too just like them in order to become rich in Bitcoin too.

Lucky buying BTC in 2013, becoming a millionaire 10 years later I believe but not everyone gets the chance, little boys spend a lot of money not everyone can. Right what words avikz, but it all makes us all excited again in this industry by seeing the boy.
This guy has to be successful. Think in the future we still hear about him
He's lucky that he's into the latest technology at an early age.
A lot of people aim to be a millionaire but fail to reach their goals no matter how hard they work for what they want but this young boy's life has changed too early because of cryptocurrency. I'm sure that he has never doubted about Bitcoin last 2013.

Girls could be running after him now that they know he is a millionaire. Not just millionaire but also young and bright, not mentioned that he is but by the decision he made it is a clear indication that he is indeed smart. Not everyone has a strong instinct like his. Anyway, a lot had regretted for not believing in bitcoin earlier.
He decided to compete his brother by buying hundreds of bitcoin worth $1,000 in which his grandmother's gave.
Wow, so we have a story about a spoiled rich kid that had a lucky strike and now, in his arrogance, thinks he's smart investor.
No. This is not really a story that would help anybody. He's not somebody to follow.
Btw, at that age, if by chance I got 25$ from my grandmother (and not 5-10$), that was already *a lot*. And it happened maximum once per year.
I read an article about him. He seems so into himself, he acts like someone who is capable of doing everything just because he earned millions with bitcoins. I just don't know if he is just provoking and getting the attention of other people for them to start investing and believing on bitcoin or he is just a total jerk, who knows. By the way, he's so lucky and somehow impressive in controlling his emotions not to do panic selling back then. Maybe some people are still regretting not doing the same thing when they had the chance before.
I guess everyone sees the story I see? A 16-year-old with a serious amount of money in his hands. And this kid was able to get rich with some luck in his life. I'm not trying to belittle her. I wonder how many children would be called if they failed to enter a similar adventure.
