Teenage bitcoin millionaire is back with a better Botangle

What a cool story! Remember reading about this teen several months ago on how to was an early investor in bitcoin and how he became a millionaire.

Here's a snippet of the article - Courtesy of TechCrunch and Jonathan Shieber .

"Erik Finman gained notoriety and a certain fame as a 14-year-old entrepreneur and bitcoin investor who’d managed to turn a $1,000 investment in the cryptocurrency into more than a million dollars and a chance to never see the inside of a college institution.

Hailing from the small town of Post Falls, Idaho, Finman, the son of two Stanford-educated engineers whose small business sells big technology to the Defense Department, was a kid who never took to public education.

Unlike his brothers, Ross and Scott, the youngest Finman didn’t respond to his parents curriculum of home-schooling and entrepreneurship and decided that a public education would be his way out into the wider world beyond the outskirts of a Coeur d’Alene exurb (if Coeur d’Alene can have an exurb).

Unfortunately, the public school system proved to be equally as ineffective as home-schooling for the young Finman, and at the tender age of 15 he had already turned on to bitcoin, tuned in to its wealth-creating allure and essentially dropped out.

He began making the tech-media speaking circuit discussing his rise to fame (and some fortune) through his bitcoin investments and his startup ideas.

Botangle, the first startup Finman launched, had as many as 20 developers around the world working on it, and is what provided his entrée into the semi-rarified world of hucksters, hipsters, self-promoters, writers, entrepreneurs, inventors and the internet-famous that comprise the TED-talk-circus-circuit."
