This was my recommendation for the guy.
But hey, what do I know. I'm just a troll like anyone else who won't join with the mindless cheerleading around bitcoin.

Hey now, you aren't a troll for not joining in with mindless cheerleading around bitcoin.

You are a troll because you frequent a website called bitcointalk, filled with bitcoin enthusiasts, and only ever make negative bilious bitter comments about bitcoin and the technology. Except when you buy back in of course.

I hope you didn't like the house very much and you own another place to live. It would be stupid gamble if you actually sold your home and moved into an rental, just to gamble with bitcoins. At the current situation, it would make more sense to play the money at the roulette table, since probability tends to lean more and more to the bitcoin price dropping.
I would recommend to sell your bitcoins now and buy back when there is more certainty that the price will actually rise.

This was my recommendation for the guy.

Rest of the house will be wiped out by a tornado don't you know. Basements are the only place where the jurisdiction of the twister does not extend.

The house could have been wiped out by tornado meawhile, who knows as a house is both an asset and potential liability. Its not possible to say he was totally wrong, going all in one thing is usually not the best thing and I think everyone is assuming that. My guess is he was well off anyway and this was just a bet for him while he has other means of earnings, maybe he should buy some btc now. Investments are usually best done monthly not as a one off, goes for shares and many things

Holey moley this takes some balls. I sincerely hope that your speculation pays off.

We all hope it will Grin

He made a quite bold move that got Bitcoin some good press, I am not convinced it wouldn't have been more profitable for him to sell the house for fiat and convert it in bitcoins though

Boy, how delusional do you have to be to think that Bitcoin will be worth 1.54 million USD per in 3 years. I mean, that's almost reptilia "300k by 2013 Christmas" level of delusion.

This sort of basic thought process is hindsight? Huh

I hear he made 10% when it went to 676 since he bought at 600.

Only if he sell at 676.I take it that the guy was holding as he stated that he wants to be a millionaire .

All this American Bashing thinking they all want to be millionaires. Such bigotry. He said BILLIONAIRE! Get it straight, man! He dumped it and went full Doge.

Wait,he's American now Huh

Can't blame him , when you go full Doge that habit can be hard to dislodge Grin
