Exactly. I would actually have︆ liked to switch between ETH and BTC more frequently, but didn't because of the holding︇ period.
I also hold some bulls**t like IOTA with a current value of maybe 10k.︈
I used to buy and sell via bitcointalk, sometimes Ebay (it's been a really long︉ time). For example, I still know a user to whom I once sold a few︊ hundred BTC on Bitcointalk, who is still active. But those were the days when we︋ used to meet in a cafe and philosophize about Bitcoin. I once bought Bitcoin from︌ another guy in his IT office after work, for example, and I can still remember︍ which building it was and roughly which office.
I come from that time, but much︎ later I also met people where I had a bad feeling afterwards about what they️ were either doing with my BTC or where their BTC came from, so at some point I stopped meeting new people and once chased everything through Monero and Dash out of nervousness.
My only problem today is how to cash out? Initially borrowed 10k, money was transferred to me by my grandpa with a contract (I know his account number, his bank documents and the contract were embezzled, but I know where they are and the police were informed about it a year ago, nothing happened). My bank says it no longer has any documents.
Basically, I am responsible for all the movements of my︀ grandfather's account over the last 10 years and have managed everything, which ensured that my︁ own documentation also suffered somewhat...
If there were still some left after an official request︂ because I was under investigation, that would only be to my advantage. From this account︃ I bought hardware with one part (diablo 3/wow gold farming, later crypto mining), transferred one︄ part to ebay etc and bought btc and paid out one part in cash and︅ bought btc with cash.
In addition, my grandfather sometimes transferred 40k, sometimes 30k etc to︆ car dealers or for other stuff of mine, which I sold back in cash after︇ use or when I wanted something new. I still have contracts for some of it,︈ and the police even have some of it because they had already investigated it. But︉ all the vehicles were registered and insured in my name or that of my grandfather,︊ so there are records of them.
I have to say that my grandfather's childless brother-in-law︋ was very rich and profited massively from the reconstruction after the Second World War through︌ a well-known company, but he died early and the assets were divided among my family,︍ except for my strand, because a family member cheated my mother.
leaving germany for good,︎ let alone brazil, is out of the question for me. i'm also engaged and children️ are on the way soon. I don't see a problem for a while, even several years in Cyprus, Malta, Montenegro, Spain or as a perpetual traveler would be ok, but the option to return must be there.
