Crypto Kid: Bitcoin or Bust

He wanted to be the next Elon Musk… but forgot he was 13

Thirteen-year-old Max Blunder dreams of becoming the youngest crypto billionaire the world has ever seen. Armed with a few YouTube tutorials, wild confidence, and $47 in birthday money, he sets out to conquer the digital currency market—unaware that his first big investment will send his suburban life into absolute chaos. When he stumbles upon a secret stash of cash belonging to his conspiracy-loving grandpa and “borrows” money from his mom’s credit cards, Max’s tiny startup becomes a crypto rollercoaster of gains, scams, and high-stakes middle school drama. As Max’s ego inflates with each Bitcoin surge, he builds a digital empire in the school cafeteria—complete with luxury vending machines, NFT art walls, and his own 8th-grade security force. But when he crosses paths with a shady hacker known as ByteBandit42 and a teen venture capital ring led by the ruthless Chase Drippo, Max must learn that the blockchain can bite back. Will he crash and burn—or find a way to redeem himself before the school expels him and his mom grounds him until college?
