From the article: "Benyamin's father, Imran, a software developer who works in traditional finance, encouraged Benyamin and his brother, Yousef, to start coding at the ages of five and six."

I view NFT's with a hefty dose of skepticism, although I have a very talented ex-colleague that has been creating 3d artwork and made a few thousand. My view is that there's a chance his father etc was already invested in bitcoin and wanted to put it to good use...

> wanted to put it to good use

Define "good." It's literally teaching the kid miracles can happen. There are millions better ways to give the kid the money, like setting up a start-up with him, without actually cheating on him (if the conjecture is true, that is).

By "good" I mean probably trying to pump the NFT's his son has made and therefore generate more bitcoin from them in the long run.
He's probably not even teaching his child the evils of fractional reserve banking, the monster! /s
