I made six months' worth of rent off the 2017 surge. I sold in the 18k range, because people's greed at the time was legit scary. I knew a guy who took out a second mortgage on his house to buy more $18,000-priced BTC.

Or been unable to pay his bills and been forced to sell at 4k / coin.

Crypto's too volatile to put that much risk into it, if you ask me.

I'd default on the bills and keep the bitcoin.
