in the u.s
there is a young man who made a million
dollars from bitcoin
and he lives in a van he got married
after
one date and chases thieves without even
calling the police
who is this guy and why does he give
away money
all right this is terrifying oh my god
we're chasing down people we might have
gone
when i was at harvard i met a lot of
interesting classmates
all of them were very smart but there
was one guy
who stood out from the rest he was weird
he was quiet and he left harvard after
one
semester only so a few years later i
chased him down
to tell you his story this is ben
you ben introduce yourself hey guys i'm
ben
and for some reason nah said he wants to
do a video about me
i'm not sure why i think he's uh
thinking that it's weird that i live in
a
rv but like most techies in san
francisco
ben bought bitcoin and never sold it a
few years later
bitcoin went up and he became a
millionaire
while living in a van at age 26.
exactly three days ago i became a
millionaire
and now that he's rich he made a promise
to himself
to give five dollars to every homeless
person he sees on the street
and he also made a promise to buy his
friend
an entire van just to be his neighbor
why live in a van i've lived in this rv
for three years
in the middle of san francisco which has
saved me 50 000
that's allowed me to buy an island in
the middle of nowhere in canada
yes ben is so interesting he
bought an island
i'm also very impulsive got married
after two dates and traveled to all
seven continents in one year
i basically only eat canned food that
was made this year
or 40 years ago for vietnam war soldiers
[Music]
this is terrifying
no it's not bad it's not fun for half a
century old
yeah this is twice as old as you are
yeah wow i've got three tattoos on my
body and they represent the three women
in my life who have scarred me
this i got with my wife who is now my
ex-wife this i got with friend
and she's still a friend and this i got
by myself to remind me not to be an
[ __ ] to my ex-girlfriend
oh my god no more tattoos for you ben is
not an [ __ ] to his girlfriend
but he is definitely an [ __ ] to
anyone that tries
to steal from him for example his car
alright so my car just got it
disappeared i'm not sure what happened
to it
this car got stolen three times
and all three times he got it back
and sent the thieves to jail how
by literally chasing the thieves so what
do we do now
so we can rent another car to chase down
my car which is what i did last time and
this actually works pretty well but like
here's the problem because um there's a
five minute delay on the gps
so we have to kind of guess where the
car is he has a gps
installed in the car and when it gets
stolen he calls it over
and chases the stolen car all the way
until it parks oh my god we're chasing
down people we might have guns
oh let's see actually job alter you can
go straight straight
then the car stopped at the local
safeway they have basically stopped
they stopped yeah it looks like they're
they're in the safeway right now
all right they're safe i got i freaking
caught them at a safeway last time
are you joking we get to the safeway
make a drive-by
scared yeah yeah that's the guy that's
the guy that's the guy that's the guy
that's the guy in the car do you see
that
there's people in the vehicle they're
trying to drive it you're trying to oh
sorry
then he called the police gave them the
coordinates
and they came and arrested the bad guys
i will release my dog you understand
that
this is the kind of person ben is super
gentle if you're nice to him
super strong if you steal from him then
come here
you are insane this happens every time
this is the third time this happened
yeah he was just in town for like three
days and he was like i want him out
that's the most interesting man i've
ever met in my life and that's
not even everything now ben got married
again this time he got married to my
other friend from japan
after meeting her once
we got married immediately after we met
both moved out of the van
gather place in vegas learned how the
program in six months and both got jobs
on exactly the same day as sophomore
engineers
but i still plan on doing something
crazy i've realized two things
one woman know the future of the world
and two parents are the most amazing
people
and so i've decided to become a
full-time dad and
i'm going to be the birth winner of our
family there is no other way to describe
