This Man Has Been Living On Bitcoin For 3 Years

Since February 2013, when he became the first hire at Bitcoin startup Coinbase, Olaf Carlson-Wee has been living, as much as he can, on the digital currency.

The 26-year-old head of special projects elected to get paid in the cryptocurrency when a single coin was about $20-$30. (As of press time, it’s about $450.) At the time, he says, “Most of the world had never even heard of it, let alone understood it, so I had a huge opportunity to hoard Bitcoin and speculate on the value.” Bitcoin was so little known, he says, it was hard for him to explain to his friends and relatives “what I even did.”
