The Million Dollar Dropout

Do you ever wonder what could happen to your life if you chose to be bold one day and did something different, something you have never done before? Chose the road of the unknown, the bold? The now 18-year-old Erik Finnman did, and man, it paid off! After being called a failure by his teachers and seeing the educational system failing him, he made a bet with his parents: if he could become a millionaire by his 18th birthday, he would never have to go back to school.

So at the age of just 12, Erik decided to do something with the money on his bank account. He chose to invest it. Not in video games or new shoes like others at his age might, but in this new currency called Bitcoin. A little more than his older brother though, just to piss him off. 6 years later Erik announced he had completed the challenge, as the worth of his bitcoins had grown to a stunning 1.09 million dollars.
