ERIK FIRMAN
He was born into a well-educated family.whose parents were PHD holder.Schooling, however, never worked out for Erik.As he struggled to even pass his classes. He was once told by his teacher."To drop out of school and work at McDonald's".
This pushed him to work harder.And prove the world wrong.So, at a young age of 12... Erik used the $1000 from his college fund to buy 100 bitcoins that risky investment proved fruitful.when he sold it for a $100000.
This made Eric realize that he could achieve much more on his own.So he dropped out of school.And created a platform to find tutors online.So that they don't have to deal with the school appointed teachers.Being a 15-year-old entrepreneur posed many challenges.
He couldn't enter certain events because he was underage.Neither could he travel without an adult present.This situation made him frustrated and tuck But that did not stop Eric from following his dreams and after getting rejected from various investors he found a buyer who offered him $100000 or 300 bitcoins.And he chose to accept the bitcoins.Everyone thought that he had lost his mind."I took the flower cash value bitcoin deal because I believed it was the next big thing" And by the time Eric had turned 18 and the value of BITCOIN rose and made him one of the youngest millionaire in the world.At a TedX event, ERIC took and sent a picture of himself to the same teacher who told him that he would achieve nothing.
With the caption:"look at me now, Bitch!"Today he is working with NASA to launch mini-satellite."Do it for the people who want to see you fail"
