RE: Bitcoin shoppers go bonkers. Bitcoin on steroids. Like a vortex bitcoin is sucking in the non believers. Futures trading on CBOE starts this Sunday.
That would be pretty awesome to have one of those coins. Not just for its value but to have one. With my luck though, I would probably just loose it in my couch cushion!
I think that there were only around 11’000 of them minted. They are thus much harder to find than bitcoin of which there are 21 million.
I’m not sure how many are still “fully loaded”. Over the years some people will have peeled the sticker to spend the bitcoin. It loses is allure if it is not “fully loaded“.
I guess lots of people would like to own one to show their grandchildren and there are probably more than 11’000 museums which have a section dedicated to the history on money.
So, if you come across one, grab it, and pay the price which will be much higher than a bitcoin. Mine is not for sale - even at any price).
My Granddad gave me a gold sovereign when I was 7 years old. I still have it 53 years later. I wish he would have given me a bitcoin instead.
Sometimes there appear to be sales of a Casascius coin via internet forums, but the prices are unreliable, and your counter-party is untrusted. I would also like to own more than 1, but I can’t find them anywhere.
Maybe those can't be found so easy because people who own them don't think about selling. I mean why would anybody sell one?
Yeah, I imagine as time goes on and the value keeps moving up, its only going to get harder to find them. As with anything there are shady people that come crawling out of the shadows trying to cash in so you definitely have to be careful as well if you do come across someone selling and do some research on them. Just as @mejustandrew said though, why would anybody sell one? I would hoard it until the end of days, or until retirement!
