Create your own
freedom
to infinity.
We're Patrick, Tamara, Milano and Noah. An adventurous family living all-in on ₿itcoin while traveling the world. We don't think in euros, we think in sats. And we'll show you how you can too.
In the Netherlands you work hard,
you save diligently, and still your
wealth slowly slips away.
Box 3 taxes your savings on a fictional return. Inflation eats away at what's left. Saving in euros means saving in something guaranteed to lose value.
That's why we keep our wealth in ₿itcoin...
No marketing shoot. Our real life.
No filter. No script. Just our life. Javea, Bybit Amsterdam, Maya Bay. One family, one mission.
Be your own bank.
Live your own life.
We're an adventurous family of four traveling the world and living all-in on ₿itcoin. We don't think in euros, we think in sats. For us, euros are just a tool: to cover daily expenses, and to buy more ₿itcoin with. Never the other way around.
We believe in small, deliberate steps, good education, and a safe start. No hype, no moonshots. Just our story, our mistakes, and what actually works.
Traveling the world with purpose
From Dubai to Thailand and Portugal. We travel around and talk to people who are taking this step.
₿itcoin as savings, not a gamble
Not as an investment, but as a store of real money. 21 million, no more, no less. Sats stay sats.
Be your own bank
No middleman, no permission needed. With the right knowledge, you, and you alone, can access your own money.
Come for the greed.
Stay for the technology.
No hype, no moonshots, no 100x promises. Just a philosophy that works for us, day in, day out.
We think in sats
“Our euros are a tool. To cover our spending, and to buy more ₿itcoin with. Not the other way around.”
Sats stay sats
“A satoshi today is a satoshi in ten years. Only scarcer. We don't watch the daily price, we watch our stack.”
Savings in real money
“Not an investment, not a gamble. 21 million ₿itcoin, no more, no less. No central bank that can print extra.”
“Not as an investment.
As savings in real money.”
