The cost of bitcoin has encountered a thrill ride in 2017, however that hasn't prevented one man from offering all that he claims, trusting that the advanced money will make him rich.
The man being referred to is 39-year-old Didi Taihuttu. Talking with the Business Insider, Taihuttu clarified that this late spring he and his significant other settled on the choice to offer the family house, the auto, a motorbike, electric bicycles, apparel, shoes, and the kids' toys. Presently he and his family live on a campground in The Netherlands.
He clarified the move by saying:
"People will say, ‘You’re crazy.’ But we are an adventurous family and are going to gamble for a moment to live minimalist lives. If you never take a risk, life is boring."
Prior to selling everything, he and his wife had returned from a nine-month world trip through Asia and Australia with their three daughters. He was also spurred on after losing his 61-year-old dad from cancer.
Amid their voyages, Taihuttu experienced many individuals involved with bitcoin. In any case, while he claims to have first turned out to be required with the digital cash in 2010, he said he lacks "experience in trading"'
That, in any case, hasn't prevented him from bouncing straight in at the profound end.
Taihuttu, alongside a companion, at first set up a business to mint bitcoin, yet when the coin's esteem ascended in 2013 they sold everything. Looking back, Taihuttu acknowledges the amount more he could have made on the off chance that he'd clutched the coins.
"
If I had known then that four years later it would have been 10 times more valuable, then of course I wouldn’t have sold everything. But then I thought: I have to make a profit."
It was shortly after when bitcoin’s value dropped that Taihuttu turned his attention to Dogecoin, which, at present, is currently ranked 55th on CoinMarketCap. With Dogecoin’s value rising Taihuttu realized that there was something going on in the market.
After selling their processions – they listed their home for 85 bitcoins, which is currently being negotiated with a buyer – they now live in a chalet on a campsite in The Netherlands. For now the family are embracing the minimalist lifestyle; however, Taihuttu hopes that by 2020 his wealth with bitcoin will be worth by three to four times as much.
