A Great Time to Start Something!

My sons friend was. He passed away at the age of 19. He was a member on here I think as readyeddy or level10wizard or something like that. He had purchased a few thousand bitcoins when they were valued between .03 cents to .25 cents. Great kid. He will be missed.

RIP, and best wishes to his family.
Sad story: Just curious, do you know if his family was able to get the BTC/money, or are the coins lost forever?

Life makes you a millionaire then kills you off. What a heartless bitch life can be sometimes. Sad times.

While I haven't been around the block for that long on this planet I know that I wouldn't blow through my money on crack and hookers with I became a massively wealthy. I'd probably just fund some world wide Bitcoin scavenger hunts around the world or something lol. I manage my money just fine and don't get into credit card debt or blow all my money on the latest smartphones and overpriced wireless plans. Others around my age I cannot say the same of. Spending money on all sorts of wasteful things like tablets, laptops, video game stuff and what all.

i'd probably be the same. i wouldn't blow ALL my money on crack and hookers, just a fair amount. but i do think that young people nowadays are being taught to just "live it up" and worry about the consequences later. we see it all over celebrity culture, and more and more, we see people just wanting to be celebrities.

I have been around long enough to know that credit card debt is the fastest way to become poor no matter how much money you make. We paid ours off in full and will never own another credit card. Other than our mortgage we live debt free. We actually have more disposable money and nicer things in our home now than we ever did on the credit merry go round.

Agree on the crack and smartphones, but what do you have against hookers? Grin

. . . I was his best friend. He was going to be my best man at my wedding. . .

Your friend? Or your son's friend?

Sounds a bit fishy.

IMO, the younger you are when you become a millionaire, the more likely you are to burn through the money and end up back at ground zero...

Agreed. You see it all the time with professional athletes as well. There are so many stories of incredibly gifted young people making millions and ending up broke a few years later with nothing to show for but addiction and emotional scars.

The stories of young bitcoin millionaires might be fun and exciting if they are true.
In reality, people who are actually rich might be smart to keep quiet (for better security), and people willing to claim they have great riches could be embellishing their status just to get attention.

yeah, it'd be a good idea to keep quiet.. unless you are a high profile person who doesn't mind the reputation to help you gain influence... guys like the winklevi bros.

I'm nearly 40 and i still don't know if I would be able to handle it. I know at 20 definitely wouldn't have. At 20 you have no idea what you don't know. At 40 I think the only thing thats changed is that you at least know there is stuff you don't know yet. Even though you still don't know what it is.

Or something like that Wink

Course there are exceptions, probably some dead level headed 20 year olds walking around, but for the most part...

Dude! You just described Justin Bieber!

this guy here. Now 19

He was still a teenager when he founded maybe the most succesfull exchange at the time bitcoinica. People were also considering him the main suspect in the thefts of the exchange. His name also because sorta like a meme withing the community to state that someone went bankrupt.

I really know that mutch, you could use google if this interests you any further.

That does sound fun! It also sounds a little like a story that ends with an overdose in a swanky hotel room. Cheesy

Most of the cryptocurrency demographics is 25+age and hence it is interesting to think about are there any teen age early adopters who became millionaire now?
