Ben
Living on Bitcoin since 2013
I'm Ben. I bought my first Bitcoin in 2013 — and I've been living on it ever since. As one of the early digital nomads to travel and live across Thailand and Southeast Asia funded by Bitcoin, I've spent over a decade using BTC not as speculation, but as actual money: paying rent, moving across borders, surviving bear markets.
I've been a digital entrepreneur for 20+ years and an active crypto trader since 2014. I practice what this site preaches: self-custody with hardware wallets, long-term thinking, and healthy skepticism toward hype. I've made most of the mistakes this site warns you about — that's exactly why I write about them.
