Venture capitalist and entrepreneur Erik Finman made a bet with his parents that if he became a millionaire by 18, they wouldn’t force him to college. He won eventually, all thanks to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).
The Journey To A Million In BTC
When Finman was just 12, his grandmother gave him $1,000 for college savings, which he instead put into Bitcoin. This was back in 2011, when Bitcoin hovered around $10, fetching him nearly 100 BTC.
“I kept buying and growing, and you make your best to predict,” Finman said in a podcast in November 2025. “A lot of it was, you know, just doing what I could as a teenager to pull in money.”
Bitcoin then showed its magic, skyrocketing to $16,000 by 2017. Finman was 18 by then and officially became a millionaire.
