Who is Erik Finman dating?

Finman's money-minting story is a unique one. In May 2011, when Finman was only 12, his parents made a bet with him, stating that if he turned into a millionaire before he turned 18, he would not need to go to college. To prove himself right Finman took 1000 euros from his grandmother that was kept for his education and invested it in bitcoin at 10 euros each.
Finman became a millionaire and won the bet with his parents before he was 18 years old. He made news in 2014, when he was only 16 years old. Since then Finman has been trading bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. "I really didn't like high school. People didn't really get what I was trying to do, get what I was searching for or what I was dreaming of. I had one teacher tell me, yeah, drop out, work at McDonald’s since I’ll never amount to anything more in life," he said in an interview with Business of Business.
He told the news outlet that he is now "tired of crypto". "I’m sick of being the bitcoin person, it’s really like if I hear the word “bitcoin” one more time, I’m going to smash my head against a wall," he said. "I care about building something much more than I care about just trading numbers on a screen," he added.
