LIVEIs Crypto Life Changing?
Erik Finman: In 2010, Erik Finman was 11-years-old and hated attending school. He had big dreams, but his teacher believed he would never "amount to anything more in life." One day, he accompanied his elder brother to a protest in Washington DC, where he saw a man wearing a Bitcoin t-shirt. When he asked his brother what that was, his brother said, "It's going to end Wall Street."

He was inspired, and in 2011, he took $1,000 that his grandma had given him and invested it all in Bitcoin, which was trading at around $10 at the time. We all know how Bitcoin has zoomed upwards in the last 10 years, rendering Finman a crypto millionaire. At the age of 15, he sold $100,000 worth of BTC, started an education platform called Botangle (inspired by his negative schooling experience) and sold it for 300 BTC a few years later, further expanding his bitcoin holdings.
