My sons friend was. He passed away at the age of 19. He was a member on here I think as readyeddy or level10wizard or something like that. He had purchased a few thousand bitcoins when they were valued between .03 cents to .25 cents. Great kid. He will be missed.
Life makes you a millionaire then kills you off. What a heartless bitch life can be sometimes. Sad times.
While I haven't been around the block for that long on this planet I know that I wouldn't blow through my money on crack and hookers with I became a massively wealthy. I'd probably just fund some world wide Bitcoin scavenger hunts around the world or something lol. I manage my money just fine and don't get into credit card debt or blow all my money on the latest smartphones and overpriced wireless plans. Others around my age I cannot say the same of. Spending money on all sorts of wasteful things like tablets, laptops, video game stuff and what all.
i'd probably be the same. i wouldn't blow ALL my money on crack and hookers, just a fair amount. but i do think that young people nowadays are being taught to just "live it up" and worry about the consequences later. we see it all over celebrity culture, and more and more, we see people just wanting to be celebrities.
