He's not the only one, but he is maybe someone that talks about it in the media. Further, The Netherlands (where I am from) is pretty safe in both social security AND ways to spend BTC on actual real life stuffs. We've all heard about him now, here, that's cool. But as I said, he's not unique, he's just visible, and also doing it as a fully societal equipped person, as opposed to people from this country that go all the way because they really have not another choice or feel like they don't. Making yourself visible is interesting in itself, it feels like he is into self-marketing as well when doing so, which isn't an awful thing in itself, I'm not trying to say that. - I also wanted to sell my house in BTC in January 2016, bt due to circumstances, it was eventually better to not sell at all.
