New guy here needing help

Hey! I’m new to this whole thing but I understand enough to be on this subreddit. I have been wanting to invest in btc, but coinbase requires you be 18 or older to start an account and i’m 13. Anything I can do to start investing as a youngling?

TL;DR: As an under 18, how can I start investing in BTC?

Some of the latest bitcoin innovation projects (list)

On Transactions (speed and functionality):

• The Lightning network (Introduces channel factories and private messages on Bitcoin’s second layer)
• Blockstream’s Atomic swaps on Liquid, a sidechain-based settlement network for traders and exchanges.
• Blockstream’s Elements, an open source, sidechain-capable blockchain platform, providing access to powerful features such as Confidential Transactions and Issued Assets.
• RSK (for the development of smart contracts on Bitcoin’s second layer)

On the mining front:

• The Fiber Network for connecting all the miners
• Matt Corallo’s Stratum Version 2 Protocol, (“going to make it a lot better for individual miners to control how the blocks get created instead of the mining pool screening it,” says Mayer).
• Mining derivatives (“like hashing contracts, will likely trade on a CFTC regulated swap execution facility,” says Mayer).

On the privacy front; particularly confidential transactions:

• CoinJoin
• Mimblewimble
• Dandelion
• Bulletproof (shorter proofs for more efficient confidential transactions)
• SNICKER (coin mixing)
• Value Shuffle (coin mixing)

Smart Contracts:

• Mast (Merklized Abstract Syntax Tree, for smaller transaction sizes, more privacy, and larger smart contracts)
• Taproot (for expanding Bitcoin smart contract flexibility)
• Graph root
• Tap script (Improvement’s to Bitcoin’s script structure)
