The Fortune of François Martin, or How to Become a Crypto-Billionaire - Part 5 (Fiction)

The Fortune of François Martin, or How to Become a Crypto-Billionaire

See Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4.

The origin of the fortune of François Martin is the two thousand US dollars he spent to buy Bitcoins in August 2010.

From 2018 to 2021, François did not touch his 10,000 Bitcoins. At times, it was painful to see the price go down to less than $4,000, but he was confident that it will go up at some point in time. This does not mean that he did not buy other crypto coins. But he used the other coins he had already bought such as NEO and Dash. For example, he bought 8,000 Binance Coins at less than $2. He also bought 10,000 EOS on the first week when they were available to be bought. Other successful coins were Enjin, Cardano, and Stellar. Of course, he also bought other coins that did not succeed, but he was OK with that as it was expected that not all coins would be successful.

François and Borcsi had hired an architect to build their house, and construction started in September 2018. The house had two levels. On the ground level, there was a four-bedroom apartment with a large dining room where 20 people could sit and a one-bedroom apartment. And on the upper floor, there were three three-bedroom apartments, one for each of their children. They also built a 3 car garage and with a workshop above. François and Borcsi shared the workshop: he was making furniture, she was making pottery.

The four-bedroom apartment was for François and Borcsi. One of the bedrooms was their office and two bedrooms were for guests. Borcsi's father had died in 2017, so the one-bedroom apartment was for Borcsi's mother, who was a very independent woman but did not like to live alone. Clovis, Raj, and their family lived in one of the upstairs apartments, and Charles and Amancia in another. The third one was where Joséphine and Jessica stayed when there were in Abbotsford for family meetings or vacations.

Every Sunday evening, the family gathered for dinner in the large dining room.

François did not intend to buy multiple vacation houses; the one they already had in Harrison Hot Springs was enough. When they went on vacation somewhere else, they either stayed in hotels or rent some lodging. They each had a reasonable car (no Lamborghini or Ferrari) in Abbotsford. They also had another car in Europe, which was parked at his elder brother's house.

The children were doing OK. Each of them was quite independent, so François was not worried about their future.

In February 2020, they stopped having weekly lunches for the tenants of their building.

And, in November 2021, when the price of Bitcoin reaches $100,000, François realized that he had become a crypto-billionaire. What was he going to do with this fortune? He did not need it for himself or for his family.
