They are five: father, Didi Taihutu, mother and their three teenage daughters. They are called the “Bitcoin Family”. US site CNBC I met this atypical American family, who settled in Holland before leaving everything in 2017. That year, Taihuttu sold their big house and left to live on their cryptocurrency savings by traveling the world. They visit 40 countries before settling in Portugal, “The ultimate tax haven for cryptocurrency holders”.
In 2017, the value of Bitcoin reached $900. Today it is valued at 41,000.

Moreover, it is easy to obtain permanent residence. European passport holders don’t even need it. “Portugal is a very beautiful paradise for bitcoin” Didi Taihutu, who keeps the family fortune in secret vaults on four different continents…

Although he doesn’t speak Portuguese, Delle feels like he’s in heaven in the Algarve and appreciates the growing presence of cryptic expats like himself, allowing him to build a community and be able to work in English. Portugal, eager to attract more digital nomads, will also be a total winner in this new immigration flow, which will offset the exodus of young, educated Portuguese people.
