Kid, 9, Sells Apple Shares to Buy Bitcoin

Andrew Karam isn’t your average nine-year-old. While most kids his age ask for the latest must-have toy for their birthdays, Andrew requested shares in Apple.

His parents bought him $120-worth and Andrew watched the price of the stock with interest, checking regularly whether his investment had gone up or down in value.

Andrew’s dad, Steve, later told him about bitcoin and the schoolboy was well and truly hooked.

“He was incredibly excited about it and asked if I could take his Apple stock and cash it out for BTC, so I made him a paper wallet and … bought a bit at a time during the recent dip,” Steve wrote in a post on reddit.
