In the spring of 2022 my wife and I decided to the house we had lived in for more than 20 years. The place we raised our kids. Our little corner of paradise.

Within a couple of weeks of deciding to put the house on the market it was sold. We bought the place for about $200k in the early 2000s and sold it for about $500k. Of the $300 we cleared we put $200k into Bitcoin. Bitcoin was about $20k at the time on the way to a low of $16k in November. We were paying north of a thousand dollars more per month on rent in our new place than we did for the mortgage payment. At the time my wife was not a Bitcoiner, but she trusted me with our money. I’m not going to lie it was a stressful time, but I never considered selling. As I write this post Bitcoin is at an all-time high of $75k.

This series is for all y’all who are considering doing what we did: cashing out of your house and yoloing into Bitcoin. Strap in. It’s a bumpy ride.
