Bitcoin: Meet the 11-year-old boy who wrote the book on cryptocurrencies

An 11-year-old boy has written a book about bitcoin in the hope of raising $20m (£14.3m) by the age of 14 so that he can drop out of school. Andrew K. Courey from Wellesley, Massachusetts, made the agreement with his parents that he could leave education if he achieved his goal and set about looking for million-dollar business ideas to make it happen. The result was Early Bird Gets the Bitcoin: The Ultimate Guide to Everything About Bitcoin, which Courey self-published in January for Amazon Kindle. The 57-page book capitalises on its author's interest in cryptocurrencies, inspired by hours spent studying YouTube videos on bitcoin mining and the digital currency's short but turbulent history, according to The Swellesley Report.
