Teenage bitcoin millionaire can see the cryptocurrency’s value shooting as high as $1 million

If this teen entrepreneur, high-school dropout and bitcoin millionaire has any predictive powers at all, then we’ve hardly seen the top of the market for the hot cybercurrency.

Meet Erik Finman, who started picking up bitcoin at $12 apiece back in May 2011, when he was just 12, riding a hot tip from hits brother Scott and a $1,000 gift from his grandmother, he told CNBC. He’s now the owner of a reported 403 bitcoins, and while the cybercurrency has been on a bit of a bumpy ride lately, at Thursday’s price BTCUSD, +0.58% of $2,685.53 each, the now 18-year-old Idahoan’s stash is worth $1.08 million and change.

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