Teen founder Erik Finman: 'I will never send my kids to school'

A teenage entrepreneur who earned more than $100,000 as one of the early adopters of bitcoin and has since launched his own startup has told young innovators to "just be yourself" at WIRED 2015 Next Generation.

And don't worry if you'd just rather not go to school.

Erik Finman, 16, who is founder of Botangle, explained to attendees at London's Tobacco Dock how he switched schools several times due to bullying, over-work, or just finding himself unable to express his true personality until, eventually, he decided just not to go anymore.
