“# The Bitcoin Family talks about travel<\/a>ing, giving and orange-pilling <\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Seasoned crypto enthusiasts will remember Didi Taihuttu as the man who went all-in on Bitcoin (BTC) in 2016. He sold his and his family\u2019s possessions. camping out\u00a0in the Netherlands while he waited for Bitcoin to the moon.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Taihuttu recalls how it felt to own almost nothing but Bitcoin, 6 years ago:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have any cars, motorbikes, nothing. And I\u2019m happ<\/a>ier than ever. And she [Taihuttu’s wife] agrees! At that moment we decide to break that chain and lead by example for the kids.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He explains his realization that life is about accumulating happiness, \u201cinstead of accumulating wealth.\u201d Hence, the Bitcoin Family was born. The three daughters \u201conly have Bitcoin, not bank accounts,\u201d while the parents have never looked back on their former lives. <\/p>\n

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 Bitcoiner lifestyle down there; Portugal is a growing hub for the seminal cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

Taihuttu concedes that there are, of course, challenges regarding how to travel the world living off a Bitcoin standard\u2013particularly while looking after three teenage daughters. <\/p>\n

However, it hasn\u2019t stopped other explorer families from following in their footsteps. Taihuttu cites that \u201csix families\u201d have since sold all their possessions, \u00e0 la Bitcoin Family, to enjoy the Bitcoin lifestyle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Closer to home, Taihuttu orange-pilled his brother and sister, even persuading them to take part in the traveling lifestyle. He concludes that \u201cthe decentralized digital nomad lifestyle is the future.\u201d <\/p>\n

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 \u201cdigital nomad\u201d activities are funneled into charity projects. <\/p>\n

For example, they have built a school in Mexico for disadvantaged children as well as an orphanage in Venezuela. Naturally, though, there\u2019s a Bitcoin twist. <\/p>\n

As the video details with a Mario illustration, it\u2019s a three-step process to orange pill and establish a charity.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Teach Bitcoin<\/li>\n
  2. Learn how to exchange it<\/li>\n
  3. Grow adoption<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    While the projects are not born Bitcoin-only, they are certainly not centralized:<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe CEO of a centralized organization [charity] will be driving a BMW. We don\u2019t want that, we do peer to peer.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    The process stems from one of Taihuttu\u2019s many mantras, \u201cEveryone with a heartbeat and a telephone should be able to transact value all over the world.\u201d Bitcoin is that solution and it should inevitably become an intrinsic part of charity projects.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    In all, although the Bitcoin Family will continue their world travels, their focus is now firmly on Europe. El Salvador and the next country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender are of course attractive travel destinations, but Taihuttu is passionate about his home continent\u2019s journey towards Bitcoin adoption. <\/p>\n
