You are 13 and have a few years so you ~~need to plan for the possibility~~ don't need to worry that bitcoin prices could crash.

I am uber bullish but you need to ~~only invest would you can afford to lose~~ invest enough so it makes a difference. ~~A college education is not something you should risk losing.~~ An opportunity like this is not something you should risk losing.

If you keep your money in bitcoins ~~be sure to work hard in school~~ you won't have to work hard in school ~~and make sure that even if you have no money for college that you can qualify for scholarships because of your good grades.~~ and will be able to travel the world thanks to being financially independent. Cool

Unbelievable.

Just had to bluntly correct that.

I don't think you are responsible to say these to a 13 years old young man. It's not funny. Money is not the only thing in one's life.

Schools are prisons for children. I don't think you are responsible putting your kids there if they prefer not to go. A free healthy man stays away from college. He does not look for a job, he follows his passion and creates his own job. This young man is doing exactly that and many people here just try to destroy it with school and college propaganda. Also note that he asked no lectures, many here do just that.

It depends. To one who is not worrying his future job hunting, college (not a primary school or a high school) is definitely not a prison. He can learn what he really wants to learn. Besides there's nowhere else can one meet so many peers and make real friends. This has nothing to do with whether he will look for a job or creates his own job. Pressure of living in a college is much lower than spin off a start-up company.

Moreover, everyone here expresses his own opinion only. No one is giving lectures.
