An interview from BTC news, October 2020

00:00 - 00:05 Ok, so I understand normally your husband manages the finances

00:05 - 00:10 but after the financial crisis in America you took it upon yourself to buy

00:10 - 00:13 Bitcoin at $200 apiece, how did that go for you?

00:13 - 00:17 Well, I wanted to keep it but-

00:17 - 00:19 I made her sell all the bitcoin at $250 as soon as I found out

00:19 - 00:21 Excuse me, um

00:21 - 00:26 I told her to sell it at $250 because it was clearly overvalued

00:27 - 00:28 -Sorry

00:28 - 00:33 And I thought that the price would eventually come, come, down due

00:33 - 00:37 due to inflation of course

00:40 - 00:42 Excuse me

00:42 - 00:45 Excuse me, I'm sorry

00:45 - 00:54 So um, you sold all your bitcoin back in 2015

00:55 - 00:58 I thought we could use the money for Chinese stocks

00:58 - 01:03 You realize that, of course... Excuse my disbelief

01:03 - 01:09 That that bitcoin was gaining ground then, and also the halving in 2016

01:09 - 01:12 Was it really a problem to wait it out?

01:12 - 01:16 I knew the price would rise in 2016 as bitcoin became more scarce

01:16 - 01:17 Mm hmm

01:17 - 01:21 But I heard all the news articles that said bitcoin was dead

01:21 - 01:24 And, I made her sell all the bitcoin

01:24 - 01:27 so we could buy AAA rated mortgage securities instead-

01:33 - 01:36 (laughter continues)

01:39 - 01:43 I read the Motley Fool, they said it was a good idea

01:44 - 01:46 Everyone knows AAA rating is safest

01:46 - 01:48 Honey, please

01:48 - 01:51 I just thought bitcoin was only a fad

01:51 - 01:56 Okay, excuse me, how unfortunate for you

01:57 - 02:02 Now my producer tells me you sold your bitcoin

02:02 - 02:05 To this man in the back row, here

02:05 - 02:06 Yeah

02:06 - 02:08 And he can tell us what happened next in the market

02:08 - 02:12 I still have them at $5000 apiece after buying from him at $250

02:11 - 02:17 As the block reward halved and bitcoin became more scarce in 2016

02:17 - 02:20 The technology matured into an unstoppable powerhouse

02:20 - 02:24 But everyone said bank owned blockchains would be better

02:24 - 02:27 This guy should've listened to his wife

02:28 - 02:29 I know, but, they said it was dead

02:29 - 02:33 As he can see bitcoin is not dead, it's here to stay

02:33 - 02:37 and I'll be donating 3 bitcoin to his wife's benefit to see that she pulls through

02:37 - 02:39 Can we go to commercial break?

02:39 - 02:45 In the following months, Dimitri decided to let his wife handle the finances

02:45 - 02:49 While he deeply regrets not buying more bitcoin back in 2015

02:49 - 02:52 He's ready for the next block reward halving this time in 2020
