The teenager who is a millionaire speaks thanks to Bitcoin DECEMBER 18, 2017 MIREMIRE BITCOIN, ERIK FINMAN, MILLIONAIRE BITCOIN

Erik Finman continues to believe that it is an excellent business to invest in cryptocurrencies.

Erik Finman has changed a lot since 2011, when he invested a gift in cash from his grandmother in bitcoins. Six years later, the value of Bitcoin increases exponentially, and Finman, now 18 years old, is a millionaire.

But one thing that has not changed is Finman's enthusiasm for cryptocurrency.

"Every time I sell a bit of bitcoins, or pay for something in bitcoins, I multiply that price by ten, because that's where I think Bitcoin is going," said Finman on CNBC's "Closing Bell." "I think he's a huge being, and I think he's an incredible being, so I try not to take out any of my bitcoins."

Despite the skyrocketing value and volatility that makes institutional analysts embarrassed, Finman believes that now is a good time to buy the cryptocurrency. But there is no need to bet all the money there.

"I think it's a wonderful time to buy bitcoin, you can actually buy a bitcoin fraction," he said. Recommended as a Christmas gift:

Buy USD $ 100, $ 50 in bitcoins. It would be a great stuffing for Christmas socks. "

Although young, Finman has learned to be smart in his investment years. It has created a diversified portfolio with participations in other cryptocurrencies and other sectors.

But he is still betting on Bitcoin.

"Bitcoin for me, it's not just an investment, it's not just a scheme as fast as many people put it," said Finman. "I see it as the future of the currency in general, I see it as the future of the financial system."

Finman's investment began in 2011 when he exchanged USD $ 1,000 that his grandmother gave him for bitcoins. At that time the cryptocurrency was worth only US $ 12.
