Erik Finman grew up in Idaho and was frustrated with the American education system, so Erik asked his parents to leave school. One of the teachers once stressed that when Erik quit school, he would have to work at McDonald's and that was all that Erik would do for the rest of his life.
Erik Finman was wagered to his parents that Erik had no plans to go to college:
"I have a deal with my parents that if i made $ 1 million before age 18 i would not go to college. I will do or die trying."
On 5.2011, when Erik was 12 years old, his brother Scott introduced Bitcoin for $ 12. Erik experimented with using Bitcoin with 0.2 Bitcoin that Scott sent.
Later, Erik's grandmother donated $ 1,000 at Easter, in favor of gifts and used the money to buy Bitcoin . At the end of 2013, khi Bitcoin reached $ 1.2000, Erik decided to sell and transfer $ 1,000 to $ 100,000.
According to Mashable, 15-year-old Erik has used the money to develop an online tutoring service called Botangle. At one point the company had 20 employees.
Mashable is a technology site founded around late 2005 and early 2006. One of the oldest websites in the world. It was designed and founded by Pete Cashmore and helped this young CEO become the world's richest blogger when he was only 19 years old.
Erik also used some of his money to move to Silicon Valley. There, he met interesting friends, including co-founders Reddit, Alexis Ohanian and CEO Uber, who said Erik would lose the deal. Erik was gunned down and escaped thanks to an emergency button on the smartphone that Erik created on the Android app.
In 2015, Erik sells the Botangle company with two options: 300 Bitcoins (worth less than $ 200 each) or $ 100,000. Of course, Erik chose Bitcoin for his future. Erik was to manage Bitcoin investment and work on different projects, such as NASA's ELaNa project.
Eventually, Erik won his parents with 403 Bitcoins ($ 1.09 million) and had small investments in other cryptocurrencys such as Litecoin and Ethereum .
I personally think Bitcoin will be worth a few hundred thousand to one million dollars for every bitcoin . "
Drop out of college
Erik Finman dropped out and never got a GED. According to Erik's statement, he does not see value in learning for the sake of just getting a good job in the future. Erik learned how to run his own business.
The GED (General Education Development) is an exam for the equivalent of an American high school diploma. The exam is for people who have not graduated from high school, or who have graduated in other countries than the United States, but for some reason the qualifications are not available, or for those who wish to review basic knowledge. This prepare to enter college.
Instead of writing essays in English class, I had to write emails to partners. "
Erik's brother Scott is the owner of a software company when Scott is 16 years old and is studying at Johns Hopkins Universty. Another brother, Ross, who studies at Carnegie Melon School of Robotics Engineering, is pursuing a PhD in MIT.
"The structure of the current sex education system, I do not want to talk about it." I would recommend the internet, absolutely free.
