The ‘Bitcoin Boy’ and Other News from the Land of Digital Currency

by Diana Drake

The recent buzz around the digital currency bitcoin has launched a somewhat legendary teen back into the spotlight. His name is Erik Finman. He’s 19 now, but in his early teens he was better known as “The Bitcoin Boy.”

The story goes that in 2011 Finman, a smart, yet restless kid living in rural Idaho in the U.S., bought 100 bitcoins with $1,000 from his grandmother. He cashed in that investment in 2014 for $100,000 in order to win a charity raffle night out with one of his idols, Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit. Finman went on to found a company and have success as a young entrepreneur. Meanwhile, his investments in bitcoin continued. According to recent reports, Finman now owns 401 bitcoins, which have been rising in value to thousands of dollars per coin. As a result, Finman is reportedly worth millions these days. His latest career aspiration: To build the “school of all schools” in Dubai, the largest city in the United Arab Emirates.

As one of the most high-profile teenage bitcoin investors, Finman gets lots of ink and lots of followers on social media – more than 19,000 to date on Twitter. That’s why when he drops tweets like this one from December 22, 2017: “There will be lots of ups and downs for cryptocurrency on the way to the top! Its success is inevitable! It’s unstoppable,” people take note.

As with any investment, knowledge is power. KWHS called on our sister publication, Knowledge@Wharton, to understand what all the bitcoin buzz is about. Here are some key takeaways from K@W’s recent story What’s Blowing Up the Bitcoin Bubble?

What is it? Bitcoin is the world’s first decentralized digital cryptographic currency (a.k.a cryptocurrency). A few years ago we asked high school student and self-proclaimed “bitcoin ambassador” Dylan Redfield to explain. “First, bitcoin is a currency,” said Redfield. “Just like you can have a dollar, a euro or gold, you can have a bitcoin. It holds a store of value like any other currency. Bitcoin is completely digital and is stored on your computer. It is decentralized and runs on a peer-to-peer network, which means that not one person or [institution] can regulate or control bitcoin. And it uses cryptology [as a security measure] to make sure that only you can use your bitcoins.” People can choose to pay for things using their bitcoins – sites like Overstock.com and Reddit.com accept this digital currency – and/or they can invest in the bitcoin currency as they would invest in the stock market or in gold, and earn a return on their investment as the price in U.S. dollars per bitcoin rises.

The bitcoin buzz. That brings us to all those recent headlines. The price of the cryptocurrency surged by nearly 1,900% in 2017, to an average high of $19,499 on December 15 across major bitcoin exchanges, before plunging down to just under $14,000 by year’s end, according to blockchain.info. On January 16, 2018, the value was around $11,500, dropping to a six-week low. Even so, bitcoin’s ascent is striking especially since it emerged just eight years ago, the creation of a mysterious person or group of people named Satoshi Nakamoto. In 2009, bitcoin was worth zero.

Why all the hype? Much of bitcoin’s stratospheric rise was achieved in the past year. For years, bitcoin traded in a much lower range due to its novelty, a spate of negative news such as the 2014 hacking of the now-defunct Mt. Gox bitcoin exchange, and early link to criminal activities (Silk Road). Those same concerns are still around — a South Korean digital currency exchange recently closed down after suffering its second cyberattack. However, bitcoin’s adoption by major institutions makes it more credible. The CME Group (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) and CBOE Global Markets (Chicago Board Options Exchange) recently began trading bitcoin futures. Nasdaq also plans to launch bitcoin futures in the first half of 2018, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Wow! Should I run out and invest in some? Cryptocurrencies are “highly speculative assets,” said Christian Catalini, a professor of technological innovation, entrepreneurship and strategic management at MIT, on the Knowledge@Wharton show on SiriusXM channel 111. “Here you’re investing not only in very early-stage projects, but also in very early-stage technology. Many of these assets may not exist five or 10 years from now, but some may be large successes. We’re really witnessing the dawn of a new industry.” Bitcoin is but one of a number of cryptocurrencies, including ethereum and litecoin.

What if it’s just a fad? “Long term, is this basic technology of cryptocurrencies something real that’s going to be a core part of the financial system? Absolutely,” said Kevin Werbach, Wharton professor of legal studies and business ethics. Central banks around the world are testing their own digital currencies. China has completed its trial run while Japan, Sweden and Estonia are developing their own as well, according to CNBC. Japan has J-coin, Sweden has E-krona and Estonias is called Estcoin. Also, the U.K., Uruguay and Kazakhstan are interested. Singapore is wrapping up its own digital currency trial in 2018. In the U.S., the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said the Fed is exploring the same idea but it is still “very premature.” The cryptocurrency community is divided on whether bitcoin is a “side show or the show,” said Wharton visiting professor Shimon Kogan, who teaches a course on fintech that includes the blockchain and cryptocurrencies. He adds that the “fundamental breakthrough is not necessarily bitcoin but the blockchain technology,” which is the distributed ledger that tracks these transactions [and is the largest computational network in the world]. “Serious players are investing in blockchain technology.”

Expect the headlines to continue. Regulators, central banks and countries are ramping up their scrutiny of cryptocurrencies. France wants the world’s top economies to debate bitcoin regulations at the G20 summit this year, according to Reuters. The G20 summit is an international forum that brings together the governments of 20 major countries. Countries that have banned cryptocurrencies or initial coin offerings include China, Iceland, Ecuador and Bolivia. Those that have accepted or are regulating them include Canada, Japan, Poland, Ukraine and Australia.

  1. Bitcoin has gotten a lot of attention due to the fact of it being a crypto currency that blew up and who invested in it made a ton of money. Bitcoin went up to nearly $20,000 for one bitcoin. That price is extremely high for a crypto currency. Bitcoin has exceeded anyone’s expectations.

    Christian Catalini is saying that bitcoin is the beginning of a dawn of a new industry. He is saying that because there are other popular crypto currencies such as ethereum and litecoin. This could be a new era as many investors put a lot of money into these currencies.

    I think i’m gonna wait until the litecoin price plummets and then i will probably buy some litecoin. I hope that it will pay off in the future by making me money. I know people that bought bitcoin and sold their house and they are in jeopardy of losing everything they have if bitcoin crashes.

    • Personally I hate the whole fad with the litecoins and bitcoins. If everyone started investing in them who’s to say that we won’t have another great depression, maybe not to the first ones extent, all over again. It’s scary to think that people are so caught up in the fascination by the “new currency” that they forget that it’s just like the stock market and it can plummet fast. I don’t agree with going into the business of the coins and I do want people to stop and realize that it’s new and could very well end up making you very, very, VERY poor. Selling everything you own for some technology that you may never get profit from is crazy.

  2. What is bitcoin and why has it been getting a lot of press lately?
    Bitcoin is the world’s first decentralized digital cryptographic currency. Bitcoin is stored in your computer. One person or institution cannot regulate or control your bitcoin. It uses a cryptology to ensure you privacy and security. Bitcoins adoption by major institutions give it more credibility. Bitcoins are crypto currencies, which are highly speculative assets.

    3. I am currently not a Bitcoin investor or user. Due to the highly volatile and unpredictable nature of this evolving market, the risk is too high for me to invest in cryptocurrencies. With regulations and improvements in the cryptocurrency sector, I am open adding a variety of cryptocurrency to my portfolio.

Christian Catallini is saying that because of the blow up of Bitcoin other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Litecoin are becoming popular and well known about. I am currently not a Bitcoin inventor or user. To me this is a high risk, cause you never know whats gonna happen it might go up and down. You need a lot of patience for this. But as of now I am not willing to invest in this cryptocurrency.

    3. Im not a bitcoin investor/ user. But my father invests in it and we can see that the bitcoin market is something that either you can win a lot of money or lose a lot. Its not a stable market its always going up and down the prices, and from the online currencies bitcoin is the one you use for almost everything, and with bitcoin you can also buy other cryptographic currencies.

  26. Bitcoin is a famous cryptocurrency that circulates in our world, or better, in our technology. The way it works is by a peer-to-peer connection confirming the transactions in the blockchain. No government controls the Bitcoin; it’s store on your computer. The technology assures protection and privacy by cryptography.
    It’s crazy how Bitcoin grew so much during its creation.
    Expert Christian Catalini talks about it as an incredible innovation, a new way of money and generation.
    Unfortunately, I’m not a Bitcoin user, but I like it very much. On January of 2017, the price for one Bitcoin went down to $800, I was certain about its growth in 2017, however, I didn’t take the risk.

This has made the bitcoin reach new heights. Many people have begun to invest due to so many people gaining money from this coin.

  32. Bitcoin is a decentralized digital cryptographic currency that is sky rocketing. The reason it is getting a lot of press or attention is because of how much worth it has gained in not that long of a period of time.
    What Christian Catallini means by “witnessing the dawn of a new industry” is we are watching just the start of this industry.
    I am not a bitcoin user or investor but, if bitcoin continues to grow maybe I will become one.

  33. Within the recent year, Bitcoin along with other of the hundreds of cryptocurrencies have seen a large increase in price partnered with popularity. These unregulated digital currency work somewhat similar to fiat currency except for the fact that a government doesn’t regulate its supply, but rather these bitcoin “miners” are those that add this currency to the supply. These miners verify previous bitcoin transactions resulting in them receiving bitcoin for their work.
    Calling this “the dawn of a new industry” is no joke. Mining pools, or groups of miners who pool computing power and share profits are already being created, along with impacts on multiple tech stocks, especially those that create hardware that can be used to mine these currencies. While there are many nay-sayers, bitcoin has already led the way for many other cryptocurrencies and the start for government debate on their position on bitcoin.

  34. 1. Bit coin is the first ever decentralized digital cryptographic currency in the world. Its worth per bit coin keeps rising endlessly. Which is why it gets a lot of attention fro the press.

    2.Expert Christian Catalini means that sooner or later we will no longer have paper money but in stead digital cryptographic currency.

    3. I am not a bit coin investor but I sure would like to be someday.

  35. Bitcoin is a form of digital currency. The big idea behind bitcoin is a newly arising industry called “blockchain”. A form of digital currency that is used to make transactions without the middleman. Critics view bitcoin as a form of decentralization from the government. Bitcoin at its peak was getting people richer and richer overnight. However, in some instances, bitcoin would drop crazy percentages. Thus gaining the interest of professionals and regular citizens. A form of investments going from a couple cents to 20 thousand dollars is not a common investment you come across.
    Many experts in the investment industry are starting to get involved with the idea of Bitcoin. Some may argue this is a start of a new industry since Bitcoin has been a hot topic for the last year and still ongoing. When the phone and internet industry launched most people believed it wouldn’t work out. However, it came to influence our world like no other creation. The same concept applies to Bitcoin. Some may claim the “hype” is over, but others still argue Bitcoin is only getting started and will be part of everyday life soon.
    I am a frequent investor and trader of cryptocurrencies. The technology behind cryptocurrencies is amazing; However, there are sketchy bits to it such as illegal transactions. Also, many people are getting scammed by fake “initial coin offerings” also referred to as ICOs. Coming from an investors point of view, Bitcoin is a good investment in the current market as the price and hype is settling down coming to its true value. However, we must always question is Bitcoin being used for its sole purpose? Bitcoin was first created to be implemented in the blockchain. Creating a currency where we are decentralized from the government. However, due to the high returns. Bitcoin is not being served for its sole purpose, but rather as a quick investment. In terms of past instances, when products are not being used for its reason of creation, it ends in bad results. I’ve made large sums of money with Bitcoin and I am still in the process of considering starting a blockchain implemented company at the age of 16. I would recommend potential investors to invest only if they believe in the blockchain. Anyone who believes they will make a 1000 percent annual investment or quick money from Bitcoin is better off staying away from it.

  36. Bitcoin will be the world next currency, and I think after a few decades or years. Might be government will legitimate as a country currency. I am frequently investing in cryptocurrency, and it must be grown as much as the price will grow. I have started investing since I was in college.

    Anyone heard about coinchangelly.com. How is this for trading.

  37. Mining Bitcoin used to be relatively simple, and the earliest miners were able to mine thousands of Bitcoin using their home computers. But now it’s more difficult but with the help of bitcoin experts and technologist like (Blockchaindexterity @ gmail.com)you can earn money off bitcoin mining and investment plans as well as trading. I used to work for $9 per hour and I struggled to make ends meet. I was on Facebook and I was asking for help from my uncle. He then introduced me to the bitcoin business. I started with 1k but I can boast of a $100k cash in my Bank account now just after a couple of weeks I signed up with them. Bitcoin mining and investments is not a Ponzi scheme, it is real guys and I will Urge you to work with the best team for the job.

  38. An insurance adjuster may be able to help you. Public adjusters handle everything for you, so it is a good option for people who don’t have time to deal with stressful claim processes.

  39. Expert Christian Catalini says that we are “witnessing the dawn of a new industry.” What does he mean by this? Christian Catalina means that bitcoin is a new and innovative way to make money. It is a completely different thing, and this era is just beginning.
