This lad is a very wise boy. He picked interest in bitcoin so early and I was wondering how far he must have gone with his bitcoin savings just as he said. He just might be the lucky type to have a source of income which would allow him save up in bitcoin and made good profit in the long run while working and earning from his physical labor to saving part of it in bitcoin.
It is also matured of him to have understood the timing and his parents reaction to not supporting him as a result of them not being aware of it but he understood and never bothered them again. I believe nature and time will show him good favour.
