š The Bitcoin Family: Living Nomadically, Anonymously, and Hiding Assets Worldwide
The Didi Taihuttu family sold all their assets ā from their house, car to shoes ā to buy Bitcoin at just $900 in 2017. They live nomadically, do not use banks, and are committed to "only living on
$BTC ".
š”ļø But after threats and risks of being attacked, they changed everything.
Taihuttu's new security system:
Using a 24-word seed phrase.
Encrypting some words to mislead.
Dividing into 4 groups (6 words each).
Storing distributed: Some use blockchain services, others engrave on fireproof steel and hide them across 4 continents.
āEven if someone finds 18/24 words, they can't do anything,ā Taihuttu asserts.
š« They gave up hard wallets due to concerns that third-party devices could be backdoored ā especially after the Ledger software scandal in 2023.
š³ A small portion of assets is kept in hot wallets for daily transactions, operating bots, with multi-signature. They use Safe wallets (Gnosis Safe) for Ether and Altcoin.
š¦ Long-term assets:
65% of crypto stored "cold" across 4 continents.
Not sending to centralized vaults like Xapo (Coinbase) due to concerns about losing access if the company goes bankrupt.
Want to withdraw money? You have to travel around the world.
šÆ His goal:
A net worth of $100 million in the current growth cycle.
60% is Bitcoin, the rest is
$ETH ,
$SOL , LINK, SUI, and AI ā education startups.
šØāš©āš§āš§ Finally, he considers stepping out of the spotlight:
āI love creating content, but if itās no longer safe for my daughters⦠I need to reconsider.ā
