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

Have you tried being older? Bitcoin would be a 21+ problem for me!

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

At the start all you needed was access to any computer. Mine for an hour and come out with some bitcoin

At ten you might have a computer that can mine a couple of hundred bit coin
