cool story but if that were true the world would have turned upside down. Eventually if btc goes up all prices will go up even a house

he doesn't give a shit! Wink

He is posting from inside an insane asylum and hence no longer needs the house. When he gets out he can fully realise his destiny as an eccentric millionaire in the best tradition

If he's crazy do you really want to be sane?

I am back

Been busy doing other things since I sold my house for bitcoin, and haven't really been following the price that closely. I check every so often and lo and behold it is back to $660+ right now!!!!!!! Well it looks like my $400K investment is going to make me a millionaire very soon. Now back to what I was doing... enjoying life.

Just noticed an update post and was like I got to congratulate you
Its good to hear that you have made some money on your investment and keep enjoying life mate Grin

The OP is amazing! wish i had those balls of steel which he seems to possess! Cheesy

. All the best buddy!

Are u sure balls of steel are the only thing u need to make such a move ?!
Judging by the price of the house, he is one of those who can actualy freely make speculative investments, without risking bankrupt, dont mistake yourself for one of those people if your realy are not.
Gambling can destroy your life, dont put more on the dice than you can afford to loose.

agreed, go OP, I hope you make it man, dont forget to tip us believers in your road to riches...

Well, its a gamble, no doubt! I guess a fat inheritance helps? That way i take a risk which will not affect my day to day lifestyle. Inspite of having such an inheritance (which i don't, unfortunately!) you still need balls of steel to take such a decision, i know i did when i bought my first BTC at $500!

Bitcoin is too valuable to be used as a currency

You may be interested to know that if bitcoin went all the way, and became the worlds reserve currency you would probably only
need about BTC0.02 to represent the wealth of your average current western middle class (top 18%) of world. So your BTC600 should go quite a way.

I have to say, if I wasn't married, i'd be joining you in selling up the house.

Something doesn't add up. If Bitcoin became the world's reserve currency, then each Bitcoin would be worth $1 million. 0.02 BTC would only be worth $20,000 which would be enough to buy you a car or two but is nowhere near enough to buy a house.

Unless you were talking about just the savings that people have in fiat. Then the $20,000 figure makes more sense.

Apparently he is a young man with nerves made out of steel.
Indeed he will become something great.

Young men have life ahead, not back. If he were 60 yrs old about to retire it would be smarter to look for investment with less volatility but he is able to build his life even if he lost every penny in bitcoin.
That's the attitude of strong hands.

BTW, while people are screaming here crash, I am buying a little every now and then. Wink

Perhaps I am crazy while I ignore all the stupid charts that shows bitcoin crashing back to the levels it was a couple months ago (360 USD).

I think he's probably the guy in the pit:

I don't think we're crashing either. And a crash now would only be a flash kind of thing, I guess.

I think this topic can be famous when we start counting in millions like the pizza bitcoin, but this topic will be the opposite that means a good investment

That would be kind of neat instead of the most expensive Pizza in the world this would be perceived as
The best investment and decision a user made when the price of Bitcoin was still affordable.

What average price did you get per bitcoin?

His house was listed for $405,000 CDN, and he received 648 BTC, so $625 CDN, that's what, $575 USD?

Current Virtex price is $678 so he's turned his $400,000 into $439,344 in how long?

Not bad.

The real fun is yet to come.

Ahhh, the joys of holding.

buy another (bigger) house or multiple houses at the peak, sell at bottom

He's all in.

He can't buy those bigger or multiple houses until he's sold some at the peak.

Then he can worry about buying more at bottom.

One step at a time.

I know, I ment buy bigger or multiple houses for BTC at peak, or sell BTC first and then buy ofcourse
