Awesome! I think it's great that he sold when the btc were high. He obviously made a good investment with it. And he is still the BTC enthousiast he was, paying his employees in BTC most of the time. Probably means he bought a bunch back @ current pricings.

Are you the guy in question?  Wink

Of course he still is the Bitcoin enthousiast he was, it wouldn't make sense otherwise

I kinda wish haha. But it's cool that he sticks to bitcoin as a means to pay out his employees right? Gets the word out Smiley

He sold when BTC was at 1,050 (+-) each, though many say he shouldn't of sold 100% of his coin, he made a smart move at the moment. currently he can reinvest from the profits of his business into BTC at $600 (+-) pay his employees and keep some for when they increase in price again, repeat and continue. If you simply just Hold with something that has no given 100% of growth or failure you may get nowhere.

Market cap is 8Billions, the potential is in the tens of billions then in the hundreds of billions without being too bullish

It could also fail

I hope his business will succeed, I will keep an eye on it

we are not too late to do the same, and we see the results the next few years

Nothing wrong with taking profits, but to exit the Bitcoin market entirely seems a bit hasty. 

Kid has got a head start on life, but $100k isn't very much especially after taxes.

Long Terms Caps Gain Tax is something like 15%. Even if the tax guys take a cut of $15,000, he will be left with the remaining $85,000. More than enough to start a new venture, IMO.

He can retire @ 45 if he invested it wisely now Wink

His new business is https://botangle.com/how-it-works : Joined members 1304 Botangle with a B like Bitcoin; it will sell for millions once it picked up Wink

The site looks very professional. I think the kid hired staff to help him run the site.

Yes most definitely, it looks very profesionnal and it is actually a great idea and very user friendly

I am very doubtful he doesn't have any left

According to the article, he has sold all his coins for fiat. I don't blame him. Bitcoin is a very risky investment. You can lose all your net worth in a matter of few days, if not hours.

I know that he started a new business with his proceeds. I think the business was something bitcoin related
