Eric Finman became a millionaire at just 18 years old. This came to fruition because of Eric’s bold decision to drop out of high school and make a bet with his parents. He told them that if he was able to make 100 dollars into 1 million dollars by the time he turned 18, he would not have to finish high school and go to college. Eric did just that. He invested almost all of his 1000 dollars in Bitcoin at an early stage which is now worth over 4.8 million. Eric saw this opportunity when a man came up to him on the street with a shirt that said Bitcoin on it. Wondering what that was Eric asked him what the meaning of his shirt was and the man said, “It’s going to end wall street!”, so naturally Eric decided to research this currency more and later invest into it. After Bitcoins first big rise in value, Eric used this money to start a company called Botangle. This is an online education site to students to be taught through video chats. This allowed for example, someone more qualified to the teach the course from home globally, instead of using random high school teachers from around the area. Then with this new money and the second rise of Bitcoin Eric moved to Silicon Valley and has picked up new cryptocurrency to delve into. Recently he has been looking into Metal pay and Yellow Card which are cryptocurrencies that are seen to be launched in Africa soon.

This is a crazy story. He managed to make all that money from one conversation he had with someone about their shirt. That goes to show the importance of networking and sharing ideas with other people. I am now inspired to drop out of college and invest all of my money into Dogecoin.
I find it incredibly compelling that his dream, (a not dream uncommon to most young boys), became reality. He believed in himself to such a degree that he made it come true. I would be interested to see a commentary on this looking into the aspect of luck that was involved.
What a cool story. I love how his determination to stay out of school prompted him to make it big. That seems like something that is totally against the norm today, but I love it. I also like how he decided to give back and start a company focused on education.
The fact that Eric became a millionaire at 18 is crazy to me. This just goes to show that with hard work and dedication anything can be reached potentially. The process of networking and putting yourself out there cannot be understated as we see with Eric’s story, and it is important to sell not only yourself but your ideas and dreams to others.
