What’s stopping you from selling your house and putting the proceeds into Bitcoin? My wife and I sold our house and put some of the proceeds into Bitcoin a couple of years ago. For me the hardest part was selling the house. I loved that place. We raised our kids there. We put our hearts and souls into it. The yard and the gardens for me, and the furnishing and decorating for my wife. The memories! It was a hard swallow for me to give all that up.

It helped that my wife wanted to sell. She was worried about how much work it took to keep things going – especially in the winter. That’s what really did it for me in the end. Every year that winter work was a little tougher, and I realized I’m not getting any younger.

My wife had to be convinced to put the money into Bitcoin. In the beginning she was not a Bitcoiner. I’m still not sure how I convinced her. At the end of the day she’s just a good woman who trusted her man.

Looking back the decision to sell was actually the easy part. The hard part was cleaning the house, and dealing with all the stuff that we had accumulated over the course of 20 years. Additionally, the stress of finding a place to live after we closed on the house was very stressful – especially for my wife. Good rental units are like hen’s teeth in the area we wanted to live. On top of that add the sticker shock of what it costs to rent a decent place.

What would I have changed in retrospect? I would have asked a lot less for the things I wanted to sell. In the end we wound up giving away a lot of stuff we could have sold at a low price – and then used that money to stack more Sats. My advice – swallow your pride. Sell stuff cheap and smash buy!
