With Elianite's bid this thread has now come full circle to epitomize the current existence of bitcoin. It starts off as a novel idea, is followed by questions, some intrigue, a lot of criticism, and is finally legitimized by someone saying "yeah, I see value in that, i'll buy that!"

I was getting worried about the excessive trolling in this thread, especially on a sub-forum that embraces auctions for all forms of Bitcoin paraphernalia, coins, books, art, etc. It's not unlike the criticism that people who don't understand anything about bitcoin dispose upon all of us when we bring it up in conversation. Many people dismiss bitcoin as some sort of "geek's infatuation"...another tech fad that will fade away....something that's ridiculous to think of in terms of having value.

And technically all that thinking is true until someone declares "I see value in it"...and then the declaration of that value, by one person or many, fights back the criticism and breathes hope and life into the first novel idea.

It's great that someone sees value in this Jetcoin. And it could be no more fitting that The Ambassador of physical cryptocoins decides to make an offer.

This thread embodies the struggle that bitcoin has had and will have with mainstream adoption. We should all recognize that fact. We should work to call out those that say bitcoin (and related cryptocurrencies) has no purpose or value. (I know I've criticized the alts.)

We should thank Elianite for demonstrating a genuine devotion to bitcoin, this project, so clearly for us in this auction.
