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.

i hope OP is not putting all of his eggs in 1 basket.. that'd be a bad idea.

2 tactics:

1. Don't put all your eggs in one basket
2. Put all your eggs in one basket AND THEN WATCH THAT FUCKING BASKET!!11

OP will be able to upgrade to a bigger house in the future.  Smiley
Selling "a few" for any sized profit is also a good idea.

He may have put most his inheritance in Bitcoin but he is hopefully building a career in parallel

Someone offered to give Veronica a free BTC to make up for her loss. Anyone know if it happened?

You made a statement and took a chance with getting that many bitcoins, you could get extremely wealthy

Whose Veronica, someone from 2012?
Shes from the other thread where she gave up on Bitcoin because she made a fiat loss after only holding the asset for 3 months
Seems to have come back from the dead recently
She was in the Wall Observer thread yesterday during the free beer fest.

Now when price is back in your region, you should really think of selling half or so to be on the safe side.

Bitcoin appreciates quickly, what is 10% now is over 50% in a year if we adhere to the historic value increase of Bitcoin. So either sell/buy frequently, or don't care too much about the relative allocation in your portfolio.

He would be very lucky if that was the case.  You are right, rich people have different priorities to people earning just to eat.    Theres an investment principle of rebalancing on a regular basis, depends on the time frame but could be yearly.   After all BTC did go up previously and back down and people who sold too much regretted it when it later went up even further.  
    Traders pay to rebalance much more then yearly but as an investment its fine to just keep checking in and taking some out for gold or whatever.     He doesnt have to overreact on this and rush to sell it just because today its over 10% but at some point, yes take profits or distribute gains over more then one idea is sensible

My main argument was to secure his costs of living and generally be stable not gambling everything, but thats what traders do.

Good to know you did not capitulate in the 300s. Grin

Also, be careful.. this could just be a bear market rally that fails to make new all time highs.

haven't really been following the price that closely. I check every so often

I don't believe that for a second.  But I applaud your investment.
