I Sold My House in 2017 for 100 Bitcoin. Here's Why I'll Never Buy Property Again. ⚠️

Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]We sold our €300,000 house in 2017 for €100 bitcoins. That same house will cost €400,000 today. I could buy it back for around five bitcoins today, guys. If we would have held that money in a bank account, that €300,000, we would not even be able to buy back that house today. And that's not luck that we had.

[00:00:23]That's pure mathematics that people refuse to use.

[00:00:28]Good morning. Good afternoon, good evening guys, wherever you are on this beautiful world, whenever you're drinking coffee or wherever you're drinking coffee. Uh, today you are going to learn something very important. This is one of the most important videos I'm going to make because I always make it on the same moment in the bull or bare market guys. It's very important. This video could change your life forever as I'm going to share the blueprint that we took in 2017 that you can take very soon as well. Watch this video till the end.

[00:00:56]There will also be charts of course, but there will be a big lesson in this video that you will need to understand very quickly. So, let's dive into it, guys.

[00:01:05]First, some coffee, of course. Boom. If you own a 400k house today, you're paying around 1,200 to 1,800 uh in cost each month. Let's call it mortgage interest, let's call it uh property tax, uh insurance, maintenance tax, all of that. like will average out around 2% monthly. Now, if you calculate quickly, that's around like 14 to 20k per year disappearing into an illlquid asset. An illlquid asset is a house. It is an asset that you can't make liquid. You can't use to do groceries. You know, money is liquid. A house is illquid.

[00:01:45]Golden bricks is illquid. A little bit more liquid than a house, but still illquid. Meanwhile, your savings are being eaten up by inflation. Like 3 to 5% each every year. That's called a 10K per year you're losing on inflation. And if you're like have 200k parked cash somewhere like a savings account, that's like 10k you're losing. And if you add all of this up, you're losing 20 to 30k per year to the illusion of stability.

[00:02:09]And I call it the illusion of stability because I think it is the illusion of stability to own some bricks. It is not stability. And yes, this is happening to you each and every year guys. You are getting poorer because you own a house.

[00:02:23]And I'm going to tell you exactly why I think that is happening to you each and every day. And I will show you also the calculation but also the proof in the charts and everything. Guys, please pay attention if you can't wait and go down below the video and click that blueprint link because that will save you a lot of time watching this video and bring you direct to what the solution is. But let's do that deep dive. You did everything right. You saved your down payment. You went for that mortgage. You bought that house that your parents told you to buy because that will bring you stability. Now, you got sucked into the trap, the same trap that I got sucked into. Real estate only protects against inflation if you sell it in the future and buy back a cheaper one. Because if you're going to upgrade every time, you're not protecting against inflation.

[00:03:15]And that's what everybody keeps doing.

[00:03:17]Bigger, bigger, bigger. You're told that your house is the biggest asset, the most safe asset, but you can't spend equity. You can't move it. And the state knows exactly where it is. Please understand this. You can't sell one bedroom to have cash and, you know, to do groceries. It is fixed. In the Dutch, we say vast hood. Is it vast for good?

[00:03:39]Now I know that the standard advice is real estate always goes up you know in euros that means you're always going up yes but is that even important if the house goes up in euros if those euros are being eaten by inflation of 3 to 5% per please do your calculation if that house increases in the next 5 years with 30% but at the same time because of inflation, you're losing 5% each year.

[00:04:11]So you're losing 25%, you only gained 5%. If the inflation is higher, which it is in my opinion, you probably lost.

[00:04:20]Of course, the house shows it's more valuable. You have more euros, but those more euros don't buy you anymore because of the inflation. So, you're not building wealth. You're paying interest to a bank, taxes to the estate or the government, maintenance to whoever maintains your house, and then you have in return you have this illquid box of bricks standing there that you don't even own because it is essentially owned by those banks. You're paying rent to those banks. Now, if we dive in the news today, in the 2024, the average house price in the Netherlands was 434K.

[00:05:01]That's like up 54% if you compare it to 2017. And that sounds great until you realize that the money supply also grew at 47% in that same period of time. So, you didn't get richer, the money got weaker. I know it's difficult to understand, but if you look at the euro, the European Union, the CPI data that states that the real inflation, energy, food, insurance, everything combined is somewhere between 20 and 40% higher today than it was in 2019.

[00:05:36]So, if your savings account doesn't give you that return on investment, you're losing. And meanwhile, don't forget, of course, the Dutch property tax, the box tree taxation, uh, on liquid wealth, your all your savings you're paying nowadays. Uh, don't forget the maintenance costs are going up. It's now like 30% higher than it was. And also the groceries, etc. because of the co shock. Now everything became more expensive. Yes, your house increased in value, but you can't buy anything for that more value. But the mainstream media will tell you ah but there is a housing shortage and because of that housing shortage the price will always keep going up.

[00:06:14]That depends on which asset do you calculate? Are you calculating still in euros?

[00:06:21]Why would you do that? If you calculate in euros the house price goes up again but the euros are losing purchasing power. So you're breaking even or even in loss. So, if you sold a house in 2017 for €300,000 and you would have bought Bitcoin, you would have 10xed your money, it would be like 3 million. Now, if you would have held the house, you would be up 33% in euros that lost around 40% in purchasing power. That's the big difference. Please understand this.

[00:06:51]So, you are not a home owner. You're a rent payer to the bank, to the state, and to the repair guy. Except you can't leave.

[00:07:03]That is the difference.

[00:07:05]People don't seem to realize that they're not a homeowner. You're nothing else than somebody that pays rent. It would be the same that if you would be in a prison and you choose the corner, you know, in the prison yard in the garden where you're standing and you would call that freedom, you're still in a prison. Yes, you choose the right angle where you feel free, but you're still in the prison. I compare it exactly to that. If you are owning a house with a huge overvalue, now you might ask yourself where the what is this leading into? This is leading into the charts because I'm going to show you some Bitcoin charts now that are very important for you to understand right now because in my opinion we are in a bare market. In my opinion, we could go lower and if we would go lower, you need to prepare for the next step and I'm going to tell you what that next step should be. Let's dive into the charts.

[00:07:58]First chart guys very important to understand this is the European Central Bank's data is the money supply in euros since 2017 January over there until today 52% more money is around 52% more money has been printed printed. So 50% of what already was has been printed extra. Guys, please understand it. This means if your income since 2017 or your value of your house whatever you calculated in didn't increase 52% you are being poor now. Why? Because the more money there is the less value will have the more inflation etc. This is real data. This is just official data.

[00:08:57]There's 52% more euros around now than there was in 2017. In 2017, we're talking about 10 trillion. At the moment, we're talking about 16 trillion euros. That's how much money they printed out of thin air. Printed out of thin air. Nothing backing it. This is killing your purchasing power. This is creating inflation.

[00:09:26]That's the government printing more of these euros out of thin air.

[00:09:33]If you would compare that now to, for example, buying a house with Bitcoin, not with euros, because in euros the house became more expensive in euros because the euro lost value. If you would compare that now to Bitcoin for example, then you would see something different in 2017. Let's say over there Q1, you would still pay 300 bitcoins for an average median house in um in the United States. In 2017, we sold our 300k house for 100 bitcoin.

[00:10:13]That same house, if you buy that back with bitcoin today, it will cost you 4.05 BTC.

[00:10:24]So instead of paying 300 bitcoin in 2017, you are now paying four bitcoin in average in United States dollars. Uh the median house. Our example in 2017 we sold for 100 bitcoin and we'll be able to buy back now for 4.5 let's say five bitcoin even.

[00:10:43]So yes the bitcoins increased our purchasing power. Very simple. All this data is there for you to analyze and understand why you should be in Bitcoin and not in a fiat currency that is destroying your purchasing power.

[00:11:01]Let's dive into one more important chart. This one, this one you will really like.

[00:11:09]If you now compare Bitcoin versus real estate since 2017 January, Bitcoin performed with 8,000%.

[00:11:21]Every dollar that you put into Bitcoin in 2017 is now 8,000% more worth.

[00:11:31]Same your house also grew but with 70% This outperformance of Bitcoin, this is going to take way longer, guys. This is not stopping now. This is just what Bitcoin does. It destroys each and every asset when it comes to performance or return on investment.

[00:11:57]You should have the biggest amount of your capital in Bitcoin because in the next 10 years, Bitcoin is still going to outperform real estate tremendously.

[00:12:09]And please, back to the video, you don't own that real estate. You're just a renter of the banks. You're paying rent to the banks, tax to the governments.

[00:12:18]You don't even own it. Why would you prefer to buy it or hold it if you have an extra overv value in your house of 200k, 150k that you can take now and put into a system that outperforms your real estate that gives you way more performance that makes your capital really work for you. Instead of feeling stuck, you'll start to feel freedom.

[00:12:46]That's the charts, guys. Short but powerful. I hope you really enjoyed those charts guys. Yes, the short term uh beautiful amazing to see how Bitcoin would have outperformed the real estate long-term the next 10 20 years is going to happen again but you can make a change now. If you directly want to dive into the change go down below, click that link and you will be contacted and we will help you with this blueprint. If you want to listen a little bit further because there's some more really cool interesting things I'm going to share with you in this video, keep on hanging in there. It's going to get it's going to get more interesting right now, guys.

[00:13:25]Really, because let's take a look at my story. In 2017, we had the house, we had companies, I had storage units, I had a holiday house, and it was all full of stuff that I really didn't need, guys.

[00:13:40]And that question that really broke me and us as a family is what are we really doing here? Does all of this stuff that we own, the house and everything really make us happy or does it make us sick of owning this maintaining this The second was true. So that's why we sold everything. That's why we went all in in Bitcoin. That's why we became nomadic with our three daughters and later we even added, you know, our little gay dog, Teddy. But yeah, yeah, I call it a little gay dog because it is a little gay dog, but it is a beautiful dog. I love Teddy. Now, the fear that everyone had at that moment was like, what about the stability of the kids?

[00:14:18]Diddy, what are you doing to your kids?

[00:14:19]It's not a stable life. The the stability that my kids have is in the family. The stability is not in bricks.

[00:14:29]It's not in those stones. They have seen 40 plus countries now. They're learning different languages. They're learning different skills. They have they have attended the school of life as I say it.

[00:14:41]They felt stable because we were together all the time. So the house was never our asset. Freedom was our asset.

[00:14:50]And freedom compounds faster than any real estate will. Guys, it's very important that you consider yourself lucky if you have the freedom to do whatever you want to do. And not many people can do that. So, I think it's very important that you really reflect, that you really look into that mirror and really tell yourself, "Hey, I'm happy right now." And if you're truly happy with the inflation eating up your savings with all of that, then you're happy. Keep continuing this life. But if there is one or two or 3% or maybe 50 or 60 80% in your head telling you, you know, that devil, you call the devil, but that is your angel that's going to save you. The devil is telling you, "Oh, you're unhappy because uh you know, you're not doing the job you want, you're not making the money you want, you can't buy what you want, you can't go on holidays what you want, you have two weeks permission for a holiday, then that one is right and you should change and you can change through our blueprint." I will keep repeating it because I think this is very important for everyone. So, if you want to understand our blueprint, that link down below will also bring you to a video.

[00:15:59]And that video will explain exactly what we have done and what you could do at the moment and how it can even be a better move than we did as of the last 10 years of experience that we had. We created even an improved version of our blueprint. So, please understand this.

[00:16:17]You're going to outperform what we did in a big way. So, what to do now? You heard my story. You heard what we did.

[00:16:25]What would you do? What what should you do? That's the question. If you own property and you're sitting on equity, so you have over value. Yeah. Like your house is worth 500K and you have a mortgage of 300K or 50K, whatever it is.

[00:16:40]So that would be 150K that is parked inside bricks that you don't use, but the bank is using it. Now take that 150k, put it on a paper and just imagine that you invest that in Bitcoin and then calculate the difference between the increase of the value of your house at like 3% a year to the increase of your portfolio in Bitcoin in the next 10 years. Then compare those two with each other. If Bitcoin would be outperforming your house with 5x, five times more than your house, sell that house. Take that equity, take that 150k, put that in Bitcoin when the bare market bottom is there, go live nomadic or go rent cheaper and change your life forever because that amount 150k will probably be able to buy back three 2.5 to three bitcoins depending where the bare market bottom is. And then if you ride that for two years until 2029 into the bull market top again, which will probably be around 250 to 300K, you can calculate how much profit you made in Bitcoin just shortterm. Talking about 3 years, not even talking about 10 years because we're going to repeat that blueprint every four years cycle again and again.

[00:17:59]So again, if we are outperforming Bitcoin, your house with 5x, it's time to change. And with that change comes a lot of education how to c custody your bitcoins where to save them and everything. But we will be there with the freedom academy and with DD bam bam to guide you and educate you through the whole process. That's what we have been doing to many clients guys. And I know a lot of you will have now these excuses. I can't sell. My wife has still a job or my wife doesn't want. My kids go to school. I know. Come up. Come tell me tell me your excuses down below in the comments. Come. I have heard all of them. I've been doing this now since 2013, since 2016, all in. I've heard each and every excuse that all the families came with when I told this story. So, please let me know down below in the comments your excuse why you're not doing that. I'm going to answer you what you should be doing. So, let's say that you have a valid excuse. What could you do as well? You could start to stack sets each and every day with every available euro or dollar that you have, all your savings, all the things that you don't need. Do a garage sale, sell it, start stacking sets. In the next 24 months, you should own more capital in Bitcoin than you hold in equity or in your illquid house. If you play it that way, also fine with me. Don't sell your house. Start to work your ass off really hard. hours, double shifts, three jobs, five jobs for your wife, two jobs for the kids next to the school and start to buy Bitcoin. You can also do that. Our blueprint is a little bit more easy, a little bit more simple, reduces the work stress, increases the amount of time you can spend with your children and yes, gives you a freedom life that you deserve. You are the one that needs to choose between that or heaven or hell is how I call it. But I will give you an example. It was a I think he was 51 years old. It was a guy from Rotterdam.

[00:20:00]He sold us $380,000 house in 2023, guys.

[00:20:03]He walked away with around 140,000 overv value equity. He put that 100k to bitcoin when bitcoin was around 25k. So he bought four bitcoins. 40k he held like in cash to pay the rent and all the things, you know, to have this backup plan. today talking April 2026 that that's worth like $230,000.

[00:20:26]He's renting around $1,400 a month. He travels around 3 months a year and he has more money liquid than he ever had as a homeowner. So his money started to work for him that gave him the opportunity to travel more and he's still living a beautiful life because he's renting an amazing house in Rotterdam that he wants to live in. Now he's not waiting for retirement. He is living the life to the fullest now. Why?

[00:20:51]Because he trusted our blueprint. Simple as that. And if he would have been able because back then we didn't have the full blueprint yet to use the current blueprint, he would even have been outperforming his holding way more. But still the guy is very happy and I think in the next four years he never needs to work again because he's going to play that game again and again and again guys. Which leads me to the next part guys. The quote for today.

[00:21:16]The quote for today is the cost of a thing is the amount of life you need to exchange for it. Please understand it.

[00:21:24]Whatever you buy, if it is a car or is a new iPhone, the amount of life, the amount of time you need to work and suffer to be able to earn money to be able to afford those things, you need to exchange for it.

[00:21:40]That is the real cost. It's not the euro, it's not the dollar, it's not the Bitcoin cost of that thing. It is the amount of time that you're giving up.

[00:21:49]The amount of time that you give up to buy that stuff. And because of giving up that time to be able to buy that stuff, you're not focusing that time on living life to the fullest. You're not focusing that time on your children or your wife or your girlfriend or your boyfriend.

[00:22:04]You're focusing your time on working your ass off to be able to afford that.

[00:22:10]And that's exactly why we created this blueprint because we do understand that people evolved. We do understand because we saw our children developing. We can't live anymore without a goodie, without our iPhone, with all that stuff. We need to buy some things now then because we were grown up in the society that that that taught us to buy that buying makes happy. So if you now have a system that will reduce the time of working, it will help you not to have to work too much anymore because your capital starts to work and your capital starts to work and is even outperforming your performance.

[00:22:50]If you would work, then you're still able to buy this stuff that you need or that you think that you need. I wouldn't do it. But if you think you need to do it, but you're buying that or you still have the time to zoom in on life, zoom in on your family, zoom in on your kids, zoom in on your girlfriend, zoom in on your boyfriend, whatever you want to zoom into, you will have that possibility because the capital is working for you. So if this all sounds like crazy, please leave a comment, say, "Did you're crazy." If there is some kind of little bit of a voice that tells you, hey, this could be true, click that link down below. We will show you our blueprint.

[00:23:28]We will help you understand it. We will guide you towards freedom in a way that nobody has ever done. And we have the social proof of many families that took that blueprint, did it, and are living freely now and not working their asses off, spending time with their families while their capital is working for them.

[00:23:48]We are living in this new time of new technologies that we took and that we translated into this system. Just because we saw the possibility of this new tool doesn't mean we can't share it with you. We will share that blueprint secret with you. And by that you will be able to join our gateway to freedom. And by that you will be able to grab life by the balls, the bull by the horns and live the life to the fullest. And yes, that exit is very simple. You just need to trade your illlquid bricks into the hottest money that ever has existed, Bitcoin, the gold of the 21st century, the store of value, maybe even becoming a new world reserve currency.

[00:24:37]Just exchange that on your house for that one. That's the only step that you need to take. The rest we will guide you in. So please run that math for yourself. Put it on paper. In my opinion, that house is just an emotional trade and Bitcoin is the rational one.

[00:24:56]But that's my truth. Do your calculations and come back below the comments and tell me your truth. Now, if you are done being this ranayer disguised as a homeowner, that's how I call it, a rent payer disguised as a homeowner, then comment the word unchained down below the video. If you comment the word unchained down below this video, we will send you the link to the exact blueprint that we have been using since 2017, but then the improved version because we got educated in those 10 years guys. So just comment unchained down below in the comment and we will reply with the link that will bring you towards freedom. Thank you for watching.

[00:25:36]I hope you really enjoy the video. If you did enjoy it, give it a thumbs up and share of course with your friends and family. Uh there is another video that is a very important one that you need to watch. It's this one that is explaining exactly how our blueprint as well works if you want to learn a little bit more before you jump into the deep or should I say jump into freedom. Thank you for watching. Bye.
