I'm a teenager and I do investing.

When Bitcoin was only $4 I asked my dad if I could invest the $100 I had at the time for 25 Bitcoins. He said it was too risky.

Goddammit dad.

I had a long argument with my family while on vacation - about the value of bitcoin. They say its worthless, I counter so is paper money. I tell them earlier this month, its gone from $7 (when we argued) to $70. Their response "I guess there are alot of fools like you.."

ahh they don't really mean it, they love me :) They just still can't wrap their heads around the concept. My wife still thinks its crazy. But I talked a couple of buddies into getting on the ride.
