in bitcoin and move to a trailer park? this promo video for dd's old company might be a clue that didi used to run a private institute teaching people basic software applications i spent 10 years of my life in this building do you feel liberated yes of course i realized which was Not Life, so this was my old company.

This is the house I used to live in. Do you miss her? all the vandals know what he did i work in the bank you are tempted no no why not if its smart for him it was a good choice the moment didi sold her old house she wanted to minimize the lifestyle from his family and move into it. this little bungalow in a trailer park about 20 miles away so tell me a little about what it's like to live here as you can see it's beautiful i live in the middle of nature yes we have everything for the kids here so we have a playground would you say this has brought you guys closer as a family yes much closer what it's worth now?

I don't know exactly, but I think I'll be a millionaire before I do. We kept pressing him on exactly how much money he invested and how. he bought a lot of bitcoins but he kept dodging our questions he told us he was in it for the long haul so even when the price hit nineteen thousand dollars when we met him last december he still wasn't selling his bitcoins i really think crypto money will the new money, just make yourself at home mikasa the kids are adjusting to the new regime they are adjusting well i think you miss the house i prefer this one is small it is cozy it is easy to clean because we are in the forest in peace it is not just bitcoin it is just the way of life you want to live right now when i first met dede his decision seemed reckless it was one thing to bet on your future but to bet on your wife and three kids seemed a bit much it turns out there was another reason for dede to sell most of his possessions and leave his old life behind, it started with a call from his father four years ago so he was driving the car with my wife and he called me and said didi i just got back from the hospital and then there is only one there j only a year for me so at that point you realize life can go very fast as dede told you he tells his dad while a good dad was a workaholic obsessed with making money didi inherited that same hard work ethic the last year he left he has changed he understood my own decision because he knew i saw i could go very fast Dede died at the age of 61. the goal is just to live a very happy minimalist lifestyle and show my kids this lifestyle and that we can be very happy with it the media I also took note of Deedee's radical decision so since we took this step of selling all for bitcoin we get mail from many people all over the world they all tell me the same thing you inspired me to change my life and then Dede showed me the last fan mail she had received and then it turns into this what do you think about that?

He is totally saying what I did. I changed from a working suit to just a free guy. I still don't feel like a superhero. Didi might not feel. like a super Rhero but he has certainly become one of his fans and followers, he adds fans and money by giving public presentations on bitcoin's radical investment strategy, it has clearly made him a favorite among this crowd, but in the midst of all this talk about investing in bitcoin no mention of the elephant in the room the bubble if you think the dow had a bad day bitcoins got worse bitcoin taking a beating breaking below 6000 about a month after we left didi bitcoin started to collapse had lost about two thirds of its value since december hello good to see you good to see you man how you doing this is the pool the view looks great yeah it's very nice it's very cheap Also, we were surprised to find him in Thailand in a good mood, one of the most beautiful beaches in Kosovo.

Didi and his family have been living in a beachside hostel for the past four months. Since it was going to 25k but then it dropped there's a little hit okay wow this is a 50k drop this is huge but we're in it for the long haul so in our opinion we'll hit a new all-time high. this year you know when it was at its peak how much do you think you've lost since then sixty percent but we still have the same amount of bitcoins a ballpark figure might be fishing yes a figure four yes we lost over 500k for me long bitcoin term is going to be huge there's no chance it won't be since april bitcoin has gone up and down and is now valued around the 6400 mark we talked to cryptocurrency experts and none of them believe bitcoin's value will increase significantly in a near future, so where are dede and his family now? after a few months in thailand, didi's family decided to go for the idea of ​​the bitcoin family as a brand. five and a half months we traveled all over Europe and he had a great adventure and he found out how Bitcoin was doing in all those countries and we did it in a very small space so it was successful it had its ups and d
