Hi All,

I have been following Bitcoin for over a year and was the first person ever to put my house for sale for bitcoin.

http://www.cbc.ca/newsblogs/yourcommunity/2013/03/alberta-man-accepting-bitcoins-in-exchange-for-home.html

Not sure if you followed my story from a year ago, but the house just sold on Friday, and will make the news tomorrow I suspect. When the house closed on Friday I got approximately 648 BTC for my house which is based on prices over the past 6 months when the deal was actively negotiated, legal fees, realtor fees, and a bunch of contract wording that I frankly don't understand. I am now all in! I really believe in bitcoin. It is the future of the world. I look forward to the continued price increase and one day I plan to own my own island. I will truly be a bitcoin billionaire by the time I am 25 I believe. This house was inherited from my father who passed away a few years ago and he always believed in me and told me I would make it big one day and so I shall. Wish me luck

I hope the OP is OK?
BTC will recover, and then eventually go much higher.

He's probably fine. I just hope he didn't lose his private key :gulp:

I wonder what he's doing now a days? Or just sitting on his desk and staring at the BTC price graph, trying to make a sense of what he did?

Not everyone check the price everyday Tongue

OP, don't give up. You're underwater about 30% perhaps, but we're beginning to feel a turn in the market. If all goes well and this wedge from the November high breaks in the coming few weeks, you're going to have enough profits to retire in comfort for life.

"He already is a billionaire in South Korea, Zimbabwe, Iran, Viet Nam, Sao Tome and Principe, and probably Somaliland..."

I don't know if South Korea should be included in the same list as Zimbabwe, Iran, Vietnam, Sao Tome and Principe and Somalia.
...
I seriously doubt anyone with $250,000 will be considered rich, let alone a billionaire, in South Korea today.

In won, quite nearly. 1040 to the dollar.

I am exceedingly jealous of the OP. Being married, I gave up the right to such unilateral action. I would liquidate all of my property just to have fiat ready for exchange on a sub 340 move.

Probably. For his own well being he must come to the conclusion 'it was worth it, since I only had this chance once', otherwise I fear for his sanity.
I hope he will take it that way.

Probably on a vacation or he will be and come back to see what happens a month later

So how does it feel to be a dick and to think its that easy to become a billionaire.
Only children think you can become billionaire that easy.

How does it feel to be humiliated ? Just the right consequence of your irresponsible act

He already is a billionaire in South Korea, Zimbabwe, Iran, Viet Nam, Sao Tome and Principe, and probably Somaliland...

Congratulations!

And the Republic of Doge.

Would you believe there is a Republic of Doge? Shocked

Some people living in Venice broke away and created it...

I was speaking raw numbers, but I stand corrected.

648 BTC at $480 USD= $311,040

$311,040 USD = 327,929,472.00 Korean Won

Even at December's peak his BTC would have been worth 819 million won, just shy of the billionaire mark.

My apologies for the error.

I don't want to be a jerk here but I'd just like to point out for 1-2 pounds of drugs sold in 2011 one could own OP's House.

That's funny because its true unless they stayed around and got their coins seized by the FBI lol

That's funny because they only seized coins from their competition.

Speculators deserve nothing but to lose all their investments.

However my heart goes out to you in any case OP, hope you really will become a millionaire and learn from this lesson, by now your heart should be pumpin' pretty hard.

His buy in point was probably between 550 and 630

he's fine
