Damn he got in early. I wish I got into it when I first heard about it in 2013 but I was only 14 at the time.

makes it harder but not impossible. Of course the government would like to ban 11 year olds from owning anything.

This high school dropout who invested in bitcoin at $12 is now a millionaire at 18

Very interesting quote... This kid is obviously a genius, he's saying exactly what I've been saying.

"The way the education system is structured now, I wouldn't recommend it," Finman said. "It doesn't work for anyone. I would recommend the internet, which is all free. You can learn a million times more off YouTube and Wikipedia."

To be fair, in the long run I think crypto currencies may be immensely important. A potential complete game changer in money and making it a decentralized item not created by government's and central banks. That cannot be underestimated.

EU is now stepping in to pierce the veil. As soon as the adults come to play the fun goes away.

Bitcoin has "crashed" 30% SIX TIMES in 2017. Each "crash" has been followed by an increase of: 76%, 237%, 183%, 165%, 152%. Bitcoin takes 7 steps forward, 2 steps back, 7 steps forward, 2 steps back. Every 2 steps back is heralded as the end of #bitcoin.

I guess I'm still confused as to what you can actually do with these cryptocurrencies. Like what can I buy with a bitcoin? I don't know if I would want to the up money in something that has no actual value.
Believe itnor not certain stores take bitcoin

I learn a ton from sites like these and many others. Most all of us do. But that is an incredibly stupid quote from an ignorant kid.

Who is now a millionaire and probably already made more money than any of his HS teachers. At least his two PhD parents were smart enough to allow him to do his own thing.

Bitcon is ridicules. I can't wait for better coins to faze it out. These transaction fees are getting out of hand. Ethereum cost less than a dollar to do a transaction.
