The story of the Bitcoin Family is honestly pretty amazing. They sold everything back in 2017 to go all-in on Bitcoin when it was around $900, and that move completely changed their lives. Now, traveling the world with their kids and living off crypto, the security risks they face are very real.

Didi’s choice to ditch hardware wallets and split their encrypted seed phrases across four continents might sound extreme at first, but with the rise in crypto-related kidnappings and threats, it really makes sense. He even mentioned that he keeps only a small amount of BTC on his phone wallet, so if someone tried to rob him, he literally couldn’t give them access to the rest. That’s actually a clever move because it takes away the pressure in a worst-case scenario.

It’s also understandable why they stopped sharing travel updates and vlogs. Once people can track your location, especially knowing you’re sitting on a serious crypto fortune, you’re basically putting a target on your back.

So yeah, maybe it sounds a bit over the top, but if I were in his shoes with a family and a crypto-heavy lifestyle I’d probably do something similar.
