Sell the house, buy Bitcoin, would you do it

Good morning/evening
 
Some of you may be aware from previous posts that I am from the UK but live in Eastern Europe, (technically it is we/us) and have done now for over 16 years, this was made possible by selling some shares I had in the company I worked for and savings but as for a monthly income, that came from renting out the house in the UK. That has given us a decent standard of living here without having to go to work, not that we have not worked as we have turned an empty shell of what was to be a holiday home, into the home that we want it to be, including extending it and also building a guest bungalow for family and friends when they visit. We also had the privilege of watching our son grow up, both of us able to go to school 'shows' and just be there for him. If we had stayed in the UK this would not have been an option, we both worked ridiculous hours and probably still would be.
 
We kept ourselves busy with many things, not just building work and this is how my husband spotted Helium, he was fiddling with all things Arduino and saw Helium miners, we researched and that is how we got into crypto, we bought the miners in threes so every village we put them in would triangulate with each other. This was going to be our 'top up' income once they were all set up. 
 
Eventually this moved us into other crypto projects, some good, some really bad....We paid our 'school fees' then there was the turning point, when I uttered the words 'just Bitcoin, all I want is Bitcoin'. This was the turning point, but neither of us knew it at the time. We both studied..A LOT. My husband trading, me research. The hours our son was at school we were in a school of our own, crypto research and learning whatever we could. That brings us to now (from buying those miners, almost 6 years have passed in what seems like a blink of an eye!) It is also all documented, even the early days, here on Publish0x.
 
Should we sell the house in the UK and buy Bitcoin!

My reply took a mere second and was a convicted yes, my husband was a little suprised, he was more concerned about self custody of such an amount. There will be rules, many different cold storage devices, perhaps, and I can hear the groans now, even some held in an ETF of some kind. I know it is not what crypto is really about but, there is always the what if scenarios with self custody. You know lost keys from some disaster, some scam from just one tired click, the list could be endless.
 
Diversify
 
Yes there would be other things, not just Bitcoin. I have much research to do on stocks but there are a few that I plan to look at, and as much as I like the convenience of buying on chain, most of those stocks are not the actual stock, just a tokenized version, so I need to look into that too. I know a few that I would like but the cycles could be completely different to crypto and what sort of fees are involved if I buy and from where. I feel that in one way I should stick to what I know (although there is still always something to learn in crypto) as opposed to having to learn about a new asset class. Heck sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day as it is!
Well almost lol, my table has old school notepad and pens too, even though research notes has a folder on the drive!
 
 
Borrow to buy Bitcoin
 
Now this is not something I am adverse too, in fact I did this with Aave and managed to accumulate more Bitcoin whilst paying back the loan in USDT with profits when the price went up, but in my opinion, you have to be more aware of timing when you do this, it is not something I would do when I think we are near a top, but I did do this during the bear market.....When the only way was up, give or take a few bumps in the road. It is something I struggle with, debt, I have heard my whole life 'if you can't afford it, don't get it' so although I know it can work and you can do it in the reverse, it is not something I am overly comfortable with. It is a mindset as on paper and with personal experience I know it works!
 
Diminishing reurns
 
This is something I am aware of with Bitcoin, but what is a better option? Put your money in a bank and be grateful for that 1 or 2 percent? I am not after the 100X plays, even in a worst case senario, I would be more than happy doubling my money, plus I like to be able to sleep at night, you know those projects, the ones you may get a high return on but you check 4 times a night just to see if they have rugged it yet! I know there is manipulation in the markets, but there always has been and always will be. I am happy that Bitcoin isn't the fastest horse in the race but IMO it is the safest, I will get a better return than if the money was in the bank. If you read my article on the government child trust fund that recently matured, it was quite sad to say just how badly it had performed, the same with my private pension, I look at it and laugh now but I knew no better then! (As soon as I get that it will go into Bitcoin). 
 
Conclusion
 
I am by no means an expert trader, I dabble in some perps, and play around a bit with buying and selling, that is the 'for fun' bit, buying and holding Bitcoin is the easy bit. I do find it funny to look back and see how far we’ve come, from setting up Helium miners to considering selling a house for Bitcoin. The lessons, mistakes, and discoveries have all been part of the journey. The question now isn’t whether to go all in on Bitcoin, but how to keep learning and adapting in a world that’s changing faster than ever. Using funds and investments in the best way possible, all though all in on Bitcoin (there would always be enough cash on hand, for 6/12 months of living expenses) sounds great, I am not sure how I would feel after actually doing it!
 
What are your thoughts? Would you consider doing this? We have not made a firm decision yet but it is an option. As always thank you for reading and please feel free to comment.
