"It's a beautiful, beautiful sunny day here as it typically is," says Ethan Erkiletian from Nassau, Bahamas.
Half a year ago, Erkiletian moved to the Island of New Providence, a move he said his investments allowed him to make, "cryptocurrency being the primary driver."
He first got interested in cryptocurrency in 2012. Today, he works as a consultant for individuals and businesses interested in learning about how the blockchain technology behind cryptocurrencies will impact their industries.
Bitcoin is the most well-known cryptocurrency, with good reason; its price has been hovering around $20,000 per bitcoin lately, increasing more than 1,600 per cent since the start of the year.
It's also an extremely volatile investment. In December alone, its value rose almost 80 per cent, and then dropped by 40 per cent on Dec. 22 before slowly climbing back up. Many experts say the bitcoin craze is a bubble that's sure to burst.
