What caught my attention about Erik Finman was that his career all started with a deal he made with his parents. He ended up dropping out of high school and the deal that came of it was that if he could turn a $1,000 into $1 million, he wouldn’t have to go to school or college. That is some deal. If I made a deal like that with my parents, I would think they were joking. He started with investing in a haul of crypto currency at the price of $12 in 2011. Not only did he invest in bitcoin but other digital currencies as well like Ether. At the age of 15 he started his own business from his room. The business was known as Botangle. He was able to hire employees, programmers, contractors, and freelancers. In his business he made it possible for people to type in any subject matter they want to learn and be able to find someone that could teach the subject matter over video chat. When he reached the age of 18 his Crypto portfolio now had the value of over $1 million. He is known as the youngest bitcoin millionaire. The first thing he did with this money was travel the world. I mean who wouldn’t! He is focusing on a startup which uses cryptocurrencies and is intended to help in the development of a satellite for NASA. As you can tell, Erik has already done a lot for his age and continues to do more. He managed to do this all without a degree. This shows that getting a degree isn’t for everyone and he proves that.

The startup from a simple deal with his parents is very inspirational as he had the confidence to believe in himself that he had a chance to be succesful. His company Botangle is also genius as people really want to learn online and that would totally be helpful in college as free tutoring or how-to in daily life.
