How a Teenage Entrepreneur Built a Startup on Bitcoin Riches

This doesn&#x27;t detail &quot;how&quot; a teenage entrepreneur built a startup on BTC riches. It&#x27;s not a very exciting story, either.<p>Here&#x27;s what happened: in early 2012, he put all his money into Bitcoin. Then he cashed out when they peaked (probably around December 2013). Then he used the money to start yet another e-learning business&#x2F;service.<p>I don&#x27;t see what the point of this article is. He used money that was given to him to bet on speculate on a wildly fluctuating asset, and came out lucky. Now he&#x27;s trying to invest his money sensibly. So what?<p>To me, the only interesting part of this article is that he pays most of his employees in Bitcoin. The rest is just fluff.

Who would have thought... I&#x27;ve read about this boy a few days ago on Reddit (subforum <i>Entrepreneur</i>). Someone suggested that he should get his story in the media, because it&#x27;s rather interesting (especially his age, and Bitcoin is still hot nowadays). A month later, here he is!<p><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur/comments/25u81a/im_15_and_i_have_20_people_working_for_me_all/chkzw5c" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;Entrepreneur&#x2F;comments&#x2F;25u81a&#x2F;im_15_a...</a>

I&#x27;m not clear what the lesson is here, unless it&#x27;s &quot;you should have bought Bitcoin in 2012&quot;.

Who gives $1000 to a 14 year old grandchild for Easter? #JustRichPeopleThings

Maybe it&#x27;s not a popular thing to say around here, but that $1000 in BTC could just as easily be worth $500 right now.

This title &quot;How a Teenager Entrepreneur Built a Startup on Bitcoin Riches&quot; is misleading.<p>The kid took his grandma&#x27;s money and bought and sold bitcoin at the right time.<p>His startup consists of himself and two other dudes.<p>This isn&#x27;t Shawn Parker Napster impressive to me.<p>Is he smarter than your average 15 year old or myself when I was 15? Yeah but not that smart.

&gt; When 15-year-old Erik Finman turned a $1,000 Easter gift from his grandma into $100,000 after cashing in on his Bitcoin investment, he wasn’t all like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.<p>It would be kind of difficult to buy a Maybach with $100,000 given that even a used one costs more than that.<p>Putting the article&#x27;s heavy dose of fluff aside, it would be interesting to know if Finman paid capital gains on the $100,000. Additionally, if he truly has &quot;employees&quot; that he&#x27;s paying in Bitcoin, it would be interesting to know if he&#x27;s properly doing withholding, since you have to pay that in USD.
