This man turned $1,000 into generational wealth


In 2011, when Bitcoin was around $12, Idaho teenager Erik Finman used the $1,000 his grandmother gave him for college to buy between 83 and 100 Bitcoin.
At 15, he dropped out of high school and made a deal with his parents:
If he reached one million dollars by age 18, college was off the table.
He sold some of his early BTC to fund a startup called Botangle, which he later exchanged for even more Bitcoin.
When BTC surpassed $2,700, he officially became a millionaire at age 17.
Now, at 26, he owns hundreds of BTC worth tens of millions at current prices and spends his time driving a supercar, traveling the world, and investing in other crypto companies.
He called it “Bitcoin or nothing,” and that $1,000 decision changed his life forever.
