You might be better off just throwing your college fund into bitcoin. The financial risk is about the same at this point.

Most people can go to a junior college and get a two-year degree debt-free between working a part-time job and non-loan financial aid. Transfer into an inexpensive 4-year school to complete your undergrad degree and if you are careful you can graduate with less than $5,000 of debt...maybe no debt at all depending on how much financial need you have and how valuable your skills are.
I don't think that skipping college and putting the funds you have into bitcoin is anywhere as risk-free as going to college in the scenario I outlined.
