https://techviral.net/18-year-old-becomes-millionaire-selling-bitcoin/

You will be shocked to know that 18-year-old, Erik Finman who is a high school dropout from Idaho, U.S, is a Bitcoin millionaire. We all know that investing in bitcoins is very volatile and risky. However, sometimes risk like this can do lots of favor, this is what happened with the youngest Bitcoin millionaire.

Erik Finman made a bet with his parents that they wouldnt make him go to college if he became a millionaire by the time he was 18. I can proudly say I made it, and Im not going to college, Finman said

So, that's MagicDonut's name.
---

Did he invest when he was 8?
---

Now he can grow up and tell his unplanned children how he worked so fucking hard to become a millionaire by the time he was 18.

He's an idiot for still not going to college.

Steve jobs, bill gates, mark zuckerburg, etc. all dropped out of college and they're billionaires now.

Not really. College isn't 100% necessary.
---

But how long will he stay a millionaire?

It's not but most young adults should still attend for the general knowledge, experience and to further develop themselves as a person.

Life experiences can do that for you. College isn't required for that.

Lets take two potential employees for the same job. One has a high school diploma and is a bitcoin millionaire while the other has a college degree in a related field.

Just based off of that, who would the boss take?

If he invests all that in dividend stocks he will have a steady income for the rest of his life

The millionaire because he clearly knows how to make money

Erik who has been managing his own bitcoin investments denies the necessity of education.

I never got my GED, and I dont see the value in it, Finman said. The purpose of that would be to get another education level and get a job. I had to learn through running a business. Instead of writing essays for English class, I had to write emails to important people.

Erik who is happy learning about the real world from experience still has no plans to go to university. Instead, he believes the internet offers a better education for free. The way the education system is structured, I wouldnt recommend it. It doesnt work for anyone. I would recommend the internet, which is all free. You can learn a million times more off YouTube and Wikipedia, he added.

He looks like someone from Idaho

He's right though....why does it take a professor an hour to explain 1 math formula when there are several youtube videos that explain it in 3 minutes which actually makes sense?

How come this website is the ONLY place Ive ever heard of this Bitcoin thing?

Lmao.

Well he's going to be out of luck once he blows his million and finds out he's pretty much unmarketable in the job market being a high school drop out.
---

Does this guy even have a plan for what he's going to do with his life? History is not kind on people who suddenly come in to large sums of money.

You guys are underselling the hell out of Youtube lectures. Helped me with quite a few programming and discrete mathematics concepts.

Is this the only website you visit? Even normal people in real life talk about it

Youtube and wikipedia are great in addition to, not in replacement of, a real education

In order to fully benefit from youtube, you have to learn enough about the subject to filter out the shit and learn what you actually need. Some guy on youtube doesnt have his career and reputation on the line when teaching you, your university does. Thats why university, textbooks, and even training providers like CBT nuggets are better as primary sources of info rather than youtube.

This kid lucked out, thinks he has it all figured out when he doesn't, and he's going to crash and burn.

If anything hed do best if he had a financial planner and trade school training. That way his money is being properly managed and he has proper training to make some decent money on the side.

There's a big difference between a shit professor and a really good one.

The main problem with most "I learn everything I need from Youtube lectures" people is that when you don't have to apply the knowledge in any way, you can convince yourself that you've learned a lot more than you have.
