Kudos to Taihuttu family for taking such a bold step in propagating the message of Bitcoin across 40 countries, at the same time spending, transacting with Bitcoin, of course their contribution to spreading of good news about bitcoin and bringing it into more limelight with their voyage is quite remarkable such adventure was taken by a single family who summoned courage and risk to embarked on such a journey is very appreciated, this will increase more adoptions across those countries visited by them.

This really is a amazing and unique story and we should all be happy for this man and his bitcoin family.
Every day I think to myself if I would have bought bitcoin for $900 a coin in 2017 like the Taihuttus family.
Didi Taihuttu even waited to cut his hair from someone that will take bitcoin.  Need more stories like this 1.

It is indeed very cool. And knowing that they're not just traveling but educating others as well, now that's even more amazing. I think, assuming I didn't know about bitcoin and then I'll meet them and they'll educate me, I'd believe them. Because their experience of traveling with just bitcoin is enough proof for me that bitcoin isn't scam and could be really beneficial.

That's for me though. But I hope those people whom they'll meet can also see what bitcoin can do. Good luck to the family.

Can somebody tell me why the capital of Slovenia is the most Bitcoin friendly city in Europe?There must be a reason behind that.
I though that Malta and the Baltic countries(mostly Estonia) are the most crypto friendly countries in Europe.
This is a cool story,however I hate traveling and I hate spending Bitcoins,so I will never follow the example of this Bitcoin pioneer. Grin
BTC is getting more mainstream so more small businesses will begin to accept BTC payments in addition to fiat.I really hope that this trend will survive,even after the BTC price crashes and a bear market begins.

That is an interesting story, he has good discipline, he stood on what he had said and he did it. We can say that guy is very loyal in the world of cryptocurrency because he never used any fiat currency, he only used cryptocurrency and that was a total effort for the guy who visits only two countries just to use their bitcoin and not to use any fiat currency. I never think that I could do the same thing but maybe in the future, if the cryptocurrency will become more popular all over the world.

Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks
It just shows that living only on Bitcoins nowadays is doable already since there are some establishments who are accepting Bitcoins already.
I think that it is just hard to find any establishments that are accepting crypto right now unless you will ask it.

Its kinda cool for me that I'm thinking of doing it too in the future but not for years but possible for weeks or days only Cheesy. With more and more establishments accepting crypto already, using it would be easier few years from now for sure. I just hope that more and more families/people will try this and spread some awareness globally.

they are still at it huh. the first time I saw this news I thought that they would just give up since they have kids and travelling around the world with that young would be a lot hassle.

Okay I believe it's very cool !
it is cool!
What are your thoughts on this ?
when the news about this broke out I thought they are crazy investing everything they have on something so volatile like bitcoin. even now I still think they are crazy for doing something so reckless. I am glad their gamble ended on a positive side but would not suggest this to anyone I know.
This family is not only exploring their way around the world but they are also educating people about Bitcoins.
and as it should be. to be honest I think every people who are into bitcoin should at least share their knowledge or educate someone(if let to) to help bitcoin to its adoption.

For promotional purposes, this is good. But still I am not witnessing any genuine increase in adoption during the last few years. Usage of Bitcoin, for making payments have gone down. Even those online retailers who used to accept it earlier are no longer doing so (Steem and Stripe are examples). Hopefully, the recent PayPal integration may reverse the situation and make Bitcoin more acceptable globally.

You own the pen
I hope they will earn more profit, people who investing and trusting to the bitcoin earned money and hoping soon we can see a lot of business that accepting bitcoin so where ever country we visit we can use it.

Big adaption to the bitcoin will happen for sure but it will takes time to happen this. That family is starting using bitcoin and I think it's time for the change and hoping we use bitcoin everywhere.

These guys have made a lot of research before doing such things, we need to consider that as well because if you travel to a country where they don't have any access to bitcoin then you will be in trouble. it is nice to support such a journey since it will motivate others to do so and at the same time they can help with the economy of bitcoins to get it more popular to the other people but still studying before investing is a nice thing to do first.

A very enjoyable experience and a very important role so that they can make this fun thing happen is bought Bitcoin at a low price, it would have been different if they bought it at the highest price in 2017. The way they believe in Bitcoin is very inspiring.
If this article also mentions the 40 countries they have visited, it will be very interesting because it can inspire other travellers who also want to use Bitcoin to be able to visit those countries that accept Bitcoin.

Wow really touching true story. In this case, this is the real use case of Bitcoin where they only want to pay with BTC. How cool. I wonder how if they faced difficulties when they found no one accepting BTC. This is risky, but they did believe that BTC has value and they know someday BTC will be really high, as what we can see right now. And now, they are smiling at what they believe.

Now they are smiling back to those who didn't believe from what they are believing, for sure way back there are people who are laughing with them and thinking that it will be just a a waste of time and money for them.

All those waits  being paid now and everything is moving positively on their end, they are now enjoying all the fruits that came from this market.

This may inspire companies to promote the use of bitcoins in their prpducts, and may also help them build their profits in bitcoins instead of fiat which will greatly boost thr people's confidence towards cryptocurrencies in general. Though on the downside, this could've caused them a lot of trouble and inconvenience knowing that few establishments and company that offers services are allowing bitcoin payments.

Wow! 40 countries? They are living their lives a dream. This is giving positive vibes to crypto community, that it is indeed possible to live with bitcoin. Lucky for them who believed in bitcoin when it was relatively cheap and amass some for their stash. If nothing else, this article will be a good inspiration to nonbelievers of crypto.

It's interesting to know that there is a family who believes so much in Bitcoin, that family is really promoting Bitcoin in a unique way.
I just found a family that relies on Bitcoin as a living, unfortunately there are still a few countries that legalize Bitcoin as payment.
It looks like this family managed to inspire a lot of people, and also prove Bitcoin can provide wealth.

Is that really possible? I mean 40 countries, meaning they cross the borders and using Bitcoin for their financial needs thats awesome. by the way, where it exactly happen in Europe maybe, I believe the people and governments of Europe are more advanced and open to new possibilities compared to the rest of the world.
That is precisely what they are trying to prove, that it is possible to only use your bitcoin and do it with style however while this is very interesting very few people are going to follow on their footsteps but it is an interesting read and another sign that points to the future that we are going to experience in which everything will be paid with bitcoins regardless of where you are and I cannot wait for that to become a reality since the whole idea of exchanging your coins for fiat in order to buy something seems flawed to me

The experiences of the Taihuttu family are exciting when traveling these countries only living with Bitcoin. Besides being valuable for any economic study carried out on this case.

I also liked the article that pointed out the opinion of the CEO of Galaxy Digital about Bitcoin, it is encouraging and could draw the attention of potential investors.

Mike Novogratz, CEO of investment firm Galaxy Digital, thinks this comeback rally is only just getting started. He sees bitcoin rising to $ 60,000 by next year.

I want to know which country they have crossed. What about the regulations of each country, it will look problematic if they don't have fiat money in a country that doesn't accept crypto as payment. For education about bitcoin, I agree that they are introducing bitcoin indirectly to countries that may not yet accept bitcoin as payment. However, maybe this education will not be effective in developing bitcoin users. Moreover, this is done in remote areas with low education and no internet. But I was amazed to hear that this family is very confident in the future of bitcoin and they are doing the right thing and will definitely make a profit for now.

Through a combination of bartering, bargaining, bitcoin debit cards, and convincing vendors to accept the cryptocurrency, the family has managed to traverse much of Europe, Asia, and Oceania.

Just as I suspected when I saw the title, they used debit cards, which of course makes it significantly more easy to spend "bitcoin", since merchants won't even have to deal with Bitcoin, it will be automatically converted to whatever currency the merchant accepts. But this is against the core principle of Bitcoin of having no middlemen.

I don't think this story proves anything, living 100% on Bitcoin is like trying to write a book without the letter "e" - possible, but very hard and time-consuming. This isn't a proof that mass adoption is happening.

I have read about the family back in 2017 and they are still on the road. Every once in a while I see them on my youtube feed too. It's a very adventurous life for the family to go places together along with the kids. Its fun because they do have an RV to live in while moving from one place to another. The kid's school is very much possible now since everything is online, this covid just made it perfect.
