Idahoan, Erik Finman, now 22, scaled the bitcoinaire ladder at age 16, after dumping a $1,000 into the forbidden bitcoin, at the time.
It was a gift from his grandmother a few years prior. Because they’re stinking, rotten rich and young and maybe handsome, they do whatever their hearts desire.
They answer to nobody. But after their third boat, fifth airplane, a condo in every country, a push-button to every Tesla model, and never having to do laundry as they never wear the same suit twice, and after the swag has turned to clutter, these young bitcoinaires soon grow bored.
They turn to solving real problems, besides their own self-inflicted ones. This bitcoinaire is pumping, not his own crypto coin, that hype has already worn off for Finman, he’s selling cell phones. This bitcoinaire is pumping, not his own crypto coin, that hype has already worn off for Finman, he’s selling cell phones.
His still-in-development (SID) concept, Freedom Phone, is open sourced software, ripped off from Google and runs on Chinese made devices, all coagulated by a handful of techies in nerdom (narrow corridor running from Utah to Idaho.) Solving a problem was becoming more of problem for Finman.
He called in the cavalry with bigger guns, Orem-based ClearCellular.com, with cooler head, Asheem Aggarwal as CEO. Freedom Phones has forwarded itself as the answer to conservative censorship. /by Charlene Brown adapted from New York Times
