"I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then it’s your own fault."

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!

I remember this kid. He came off like a privileged, entitled jerk in his interviews. Not everyone is given thousands of dollars by their grandparents to buy whatever they want! Wink It sounds like he was just immensely lucky that his brother introduced him to Bitcoin, and that he had money to invest at the right time. That's a once in a lifetime opportunity!
Yes it is a rich kids story to be certain. He didnt have any troubles in his life so he does come off as an entitled little kid.
I heard about him last year but didnt follow up on his story. And two years later into his journey with cryptocurrency and it doesnt seem his attitude towards life has changed one bit.
It can hinder most at this young age when they dont go through lifes hardships to mold them into a respectful individual and have them growup into big jerk instead. Cheesy
I started to watch his interview like I said a year ago when I first bear about him but turned it off one minute into it. He didnt have much of anything interesting to say expect how he has "alot of stuff". Wink

Very inspiring, for not all kids in that age will think about this worth investment and have the chance to enter on it.
However, he is also a very lucky kid where he grows in the rich family that could give him big funds for investment. We can appreciate it for him.
How if there is a kid from a poor family and be successful because of Bitcoin? It will be very awesome to hear that story, of course, more than this.

This was an old story already and it was all hyped up before just like the 'pizza guy' but as you can see this boy is indeed a risk taker but his family is wealthy enough because his grandmother have a capacity to give a $1000 gift to a 16 yrs. old boy, I'm not hating his success though but he's not a self-made millionaire who've used his brain to discover a multi-million thing, it just happened that he invested and got lucky.

 
i agree the boy is just lucky to discover bitcoin when he have money they just hype it
$1000 is not small amount if you compare to other people it means they have the money to invest
for me i start from scratch without initial investment if i become millionaire someday im better because i start without initial investment.
for me everyone have their own time line anyone have a chance to achieved their dream just dont stop dreaming.

Very motivational story but it is near to impossible to get rich in such a short time frame. I regret till today why  I didn't do the same crazy things like selling the house, car for buying and holding more Bitcoin but thanks to God I am fine now. 18-year-old people will not have the same chance in the future like this in my opinion.

Well everyone's have their own lines in life though. This dude just literally gambled something that won't even guarantee him good things after 10 years or so. It just happened that it was well-done for him, and it paid-off. I do not have that kind of pair as his especially when it comes to money in earlier stages in life. Man, I do not even have the appropriate fund to use money in gambling at this kind of investments.
We all have different thoughts and belief, and if he succeed on that way maybe its not applicable to us. On my younger age i was not able to save because of the status in my life but I don’t regret anything because i know we all have different time to shine. We will become a millionaire in the future for sure even if its beyond 10years its ok, just keep dreaming and remember those Billionaires who also started late especially the founder of KFC.

Wow, I`m 21 and barely can pay my monthly bills and other basic needs. I think Erik is awesome and really brilliant for his age. I hope I could be a millionaire soon and not gonna grow old having nothing. I hope bitcoin will make me a millionaire too someday.
It may sound harsh, but when you're already struggling to make ends meet, it's way less likely to actually replicate what this teenager did because you're way more likely to cash out profits when you're up 50-100%.

People often feel bad about not having found out about Bitcoin earlier, but they don't realize that even if they did, they would cash out right away after what in traditional markets can be seen as an exceptional profit percentage.

You need to be a firm believer in Bitcoin and have a large enough part of your wealth parked in it for at least 5 or so years. If you don't trust yourself and have some technical understanding, you could even time-lock your coins.

I am talking about Eric Finman.

Image source

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,

Quote from: Eric Finman
"I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then it’s your own fault."

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.

Great success story but if he doesn't wanted to meet him and kept that bitcoins ,when the bitcoin hits 20000$? Prize 1000000$,1 million USDs. His loss 900000$. 0.9 milion USD. Decision Define Destiny

Though I've known this kid's story for a couple of years now it has never failed to amaze me on how he sticked with bitcoin. But lately, I don't know if he's going against bitcoin because he's telling kind of weird things that definitely affects the emotion of the people. Those 'bad features' in his own opinion that affects the usage of bitcoin and on how 'slow' it was according to him. I can't say if this is just another tactic of his that he had learned from the whales to drop the price.

Lucky child is it Smiley he has great courage, because buying dozens of bitcoins even though at price of $1k, its includes large capital,
 especially for his young age. That is the reward for every investor who is patient and brave

I remember almost the same story of a young boy bought bitcoin way back years ago and just hold it until the value grows in 2017..I did not bookmarked the thread where I have read it but it’s about a boy who made a deal with his parents that if he gather a million he will not go to college and when the hype happened then he sold all the bitcoin and become a young millionaire

But some post above is right,since the boy seems like from a rich family so basically he can earn million if he has that big capital of 1000$ from grandmas

It is not impossible for an 18-year-old to become a billionaire because of bitcoin, why is that so? indeed, if some adults consider bitcoin to be a threat and something taboo, it is different from the boy who kicked bitcoin from the other side that people did not realize and were able to see, which turned out to be the thing that made him change and change his views others about bitcoin.
Well yeah it is not impossible if you already have tons of money to throw at without worrying a thing,
There are tons of people who have invested in the early age of crypto but guess what not all of them could hold it because they also need that money to sustain what they need to feed their family.
The boy was just lucky to be in a rich family and doesn't have to worry about his investment because it was just a spare money for them.

Lucky for him as he was already aware of BTC and has the money to invest. Him becoming a millionaire without doing something else isn't something to be amaze but I would rather look up to a kid who worked harder, provide food for himself and live on his own and work up to a corporate ladder. Or to a kid that learned trading with just few hundreds in his pocket and profited by trading. That Erik already has money and from a family that has the wealth.

It is very inspirational especially that he holds the record of being the youngest millionaire in crypto currency world. I really love how eager he is aside from being smart because you cannot do anything if you don't have the eagerness even if you have the knowledge inside yourself.

What makes him successful is he didn't stop to his goal even if there are plenty of hurdles knowing that he is still very young. I'd love to test myself also whether I can be a millionaire 10 year from now.

Everyone can be a millionaire in cryptocurrency. He is lucky coz he gets all the support he needed when he was just starting in bitcoin coz not all can get that much support. And not all has a privileged to have $1000 from their grandparents lol His love on technologies made him a millionaire.

There are some warning in his statement. I don't really like him as a cryptopreneur but I also don't hate him. It's just that I don't think it's right to say that if bitcoin didn't meet or fix those problems bitcoin will not get success.
This 18-year-old boy because millionaire because he has this 400+ bitcoin correct me if I'm not right.  
The only thing that I want in what he says is that if you are not rich or millionaire in the next 10 years it is your fault. That actually leaves a mark in our head.

Every kid will have their own chance, willingness, and also the right moment to be what he want (including becoming a millionaire from Bitcoin). From the story above, we can see that he is from a great family who has a big fund, high knowledge, and awareness of the technology. It makes sense if he knows many things. However, what about the general kids from very general society? I think that the story will be more influencing when he came from a very simple family. But, applause for him.
