This doesn't apply to this kid necessarily, but if money weren't an object I would still probably want to go to college and study something interesting and have sexual intercourse with as many females as possible. And do drugs. Basically, I would be a complete degenerate while studying something interesting.

Funny the kinds of risks you can take when you're literally a kid and have no financial obligations. Very interesting story no doubt and happy it turned in his favor, but the kids making similar speculative investments that ultimately lose go unreported. This guy just happened to have his lottery ticket hit.

Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker.
 

Window View you're absolutely right. I think working a job and trying to take care of yourself with little to no outside support turns you into a more risk-averse person.

On a side note I know they've done studies on this but I wonder how a group of Kindergartners or 3rd Graders would do if asked to pick stocks to invest in? Would be cool to pair them with MBAs vs HF guys and see what the results are. I'm assuming the KG or 3rd Graders would be least risk-averse with MBAs and HFs being more.

 

"Eventually he found a buyer for Botangle's technology in January 2015. The investor offered either $100,000 or 300 bitcoin, which had dropped in value at that time to a little more than $200 a coin. He took the lower cash value bitcoin deal because he believed it was "the next big thing."

That makes zero sense. Take the 100,000 and buy bitcoins vs. accepting 60,000 worth of bitcoins. I bet this kid is miserable to talk with.

 

could have been a situation where the buyer only had 300 coins and didn't want to deal with it anymore and just handed over the account login creds thus not triggering taxes? Have to ask this lil' punk.

26 Broadway where's your sense of humor?
 

Yet CNBC cheers him on. Guess math is not their forte.
