      The price of bitcoin 7 years ago was 9200, I doubt he had a lot of money when he was 8 years old, the question is how did he make an account to buy bitcoin?

        Bitcoin does not require an account. You just need a wallet address and the keys. You can make your own with available software.

        Maybe you meant how he funded the account. I would guess one of the following,

        1. Mine shitcoin then trade for bitcoin.

        2. Buy gift cards and trade them for bitcoin.

        3. Bitcoin ATM
