I don't see anything amazing about this person's ability, other than he claims to have got lucky in bitcoin early. I've heard of another person, with photographic memory, who when young turned $1000 into a few hundred thousands through the stock market. Sadly he is serving a 45 year prison sentence for asking an ex to join him for dinner, else he would reveal she had an abortion. The brains of the world need to unite and oppose the cancer of feminism that will ultimately stop them in their tracks of their achievements when they realize their humans needs of female companionship less they live their lives as lonely robots.
He claims to have developed some ed tech thing called botangle and sold it-something no one has heard of. probably with good reason, http://www.botangle.com/ and the bare apache page. Looks like the kid merely created a site for educational purposes that had video chat. So maybe something that could be achieved with a simple schedule reminder system and existing video conferencing software, and maybe leaving an instructors to produce their own powerpoints or pdfs or something. At least from what I read online.
Launching a satellite, err time capsule with a tailor swift cd, into space is no major achievement under NAsa's elana program. Even middle schoolers launch satellites. At a minimum it requires an adult who is certified to deal with all the explosive material, and the team of kids do the design with up to 3 adults. Sigh, even a wealthy parent could buy their down syndrome kids into a team that has done this before and make the same claim.
building an exoskeleton is no major feat either, but....
>Although Finman spearheaded the project, he couldn’t do everything on his own. He enlisted the help of engineers and other like-minded individuals, including a sculptor that ended up being his “right-hand guy” for the project.
most of the online literature about the exoskeleton is about his original bitcoin investment. Mostly marketing fluffery.
As far as creating a wallet. Most wallet code is online and open source. Idiots and shysters everywhere are copying the source code, adding their own visual tweaks, compiling it and calling it a product. Wallets are everywhere-even wallets apps that supports multiple coins.
Money can buy people access to participating in interesting life experiences; it even allows people to engage in marketing too. It can buy talented people who can get the desired job done. He is wealthy and ambitious and eager to take too much credit, but the narrative doesn't show that he released anything profitable that the market really wanted-I don't know the financials of metal pay. He one previous profitable venture looks like it is dead. Ignoring how he claims to have come into bitcoin wealth, basically he has become a trust fund baby who bought life experiences saying look at me, look at me, look at me.
I don't say these things to look down at him. Even at a minimum if he is just ambitious, he has some wealth, the name, and the opportunity to find more realistic ventures than leaching off of what has already been done or what others are doing while relying on self--branding. There is an imbalance between branding and market sucessful ventures. If he doesn't focus on the business aspect the self-branding may be lost. If he is investing his own wealth into projects instead of venture capitalists, then his own wealth could be lost too.
