Yeah, get into Bitcoin at the peak investment age of ten.

If your family had a PC at that time absolutely. Just wait for the first inklings and start mining. It was way easier at the start. You'd be able to get several thousands pretty easy. Maybe you get some visa gift cards as a kid for Christmas, dump em in there. Or even just go to any store and use your allowance to buy one. Then sell at the peak. EZPZ
