Seasoned crypto enthusiasts will remember Didi Taihuttu as the man who went all-in on Bitcoin ( $99,817.00 ) (BTC) in 2016. He sold his and his family’s possessions. camping out in the Netherlands while he waited for Bitcoin ( $99,817.00 ) to the moon.
In an interview with Cointelegraph, Taihuttu recalls how it felt to own almost nothing but Bitcoin ( $99,817.00 ) , 6 years ago:
“I don’t have any cars, motorbikes, nothing. And I’m happier than ever. And she [Taihuttu’s wife] agrees! At that moment we decide to break that chain and lead by example for the kids.”
He explains his realization that life is about accumulating happiness, “instead of accumulating wealth.” Hence, the Bitcoin ( $99,817.00 ) Family was born. The three daughters “only have Bitcoin ( $99,817.00 ) , not bank accounts,” while the parents have never looked back on their former lives.
The fivesome has spent the past five years traveling the world, settling on Southern Portugal as one nomadic base for living. They’re in good company to promote the Bitcoin ( $99,817.00 ) er lifestyle down there; Portugal is a growing hub for the seminal cryptocurrency.
Taihuttu concedes that there are, of course, challenges regarding how to travel the world living off a Bitcoin ( $99,817.00 ) standard–particularly while looking after three teenage daughters.
However, it hasn’t stopped other explorer families from following in their footsteps. Taihuttu cites that “six families” have since sold all their possessions, à la Bitcoin ( $99,817.00 ) Family, to enjoy the Bitcoin ( $99,817.00 ) lifestyle.

Closer to home, Taihuttu orange-pilled his brother and sister, even persuading them to take part in the traveling lifestyle. He concludes that “the decentralized digital nomad lifestyle is the future.”
Taihuttu is wildly generous, giving away something in the order of 40% of his wealth to charities. Profits from trading, affiliate links, book sales, merchandise sales and other “digital nomad” activities are funneled into charity projects.

For example, they have built a school in Mexico for disadvantaged children as well as an orphanage in Venezuela. Naturally, though, there’s a Bitcoin ( $99,817.00 ) twist.
As the video details with a Mario illustration, it’s a three-step process to orange pill and establish a charity.

While the projects are not born Bitcoin ( $99,817.00 ) -only, they are certainly not centralized:
“The CEO of a centralized organization [charity] will be driving a BMW. We don’t want that, we do peer to peer.”
The objective for Taihuttu is to engage with other orange-pilled people wherever they travel. They then sit down together and scope out the sources of concern, addressing the issues that would make the biggest positive impact.
The process stems from one of Taihuttu’s many mantras, “Everyone with a heartbeat and a telephone should be able to transact value all over the world.” Bitcoin ( $99,817.00 ) is that solution and it should inevitably become an intrinsic part of charity projects.
In all, although the Bitcoin ( $99,817.00 ) Family will continue their world travels, their focus is now firmly on Europe. El Salvador and the next country to adopt Bitcoin ( $99,817.00 ) as legal tender are of course attractive travel destinations, but Taihuttu is passionate about his home continent’s journey towards Bitcoin ( $99,817.00 ) adoption.
