Erik Finman has been involved with bitcoin since he was 12 years old, in May 2011. His older brother Scott introduced him to bitcoin when one coin was worth about $12 by sending him 0.2 bitcoins so he could use the cryptocurrency.

At the time, Erik Finman made it clear he wasn’t planning on going to college by betting with his parents:
"I actually have a deal with my parents that if I make a million dollars before I turn 18, I don’t have to go to college. I’m going to do it or die trying."

Eventually, the young entrepreneur sold Botangle’s technology in early 2015. The investor gave him two options: 300 bitcoins (each worth little over $200 at the time) or $100,000 in fiat. Erik took bitcoin because he believed in its future. From that point on, most of what Erik has been doing is managing his bitcoin investments and working on various projects, such as NASA’s ELaNa project.

Finman managed to win the bet with his parents, as he now owns 403 bitcoins (worth about $1.09 million), and has small investments in other cryptocurrencies, including litecoin and ethereum. The young entrepreneur believes bitcoin’s best days are still to come.

"Personally I think bitcoin is going to be worth a couple hundred thousand to a million dollars a coin."
