I'm setting up accounts on a couple of major platforms—one mainstream exchange and one investment app—under my name for my kid. The plan? Deposit a little each year. By the time he hits 15, that should grow to somewhere around a million bucks. Enough for his first startup seed round, with some cushion for inevitable screw-ups. Honestly? I'm hoping he messes up early and often. That's where the real learning happens. You can't build resilience without a few faceplants along the way. This isn't just about handing him capital—it's about giving him the freedom to experiment, fail, and figure out what actually works. If everything goes smoothly, he probably won't learn much anyway.

An early retail investor, a debt-ridden miner, hoping for the next bull market to arrive sooner.

Is this all the money? It's still not enough to spend.

Could it be that the solution for the rich second generation is to make them lose money?
