The criticism comes from the ludicrous buy-it-now price of 100BTC, nothing more. Lots of people market altcoin memorabilia here without issue, but the difference between this post and the others is that most sellers aren't trying to put insanely high valuations on their products, especially for obscure altcoins which have no relevance to the crypto space.
OK, the impossible and baseless valuation doesn't start things off well, but to say that it has no relevance to the crypto space isn't fair at all.
especially on a sub-forum that embraces auctions for all forms of Bitcoin paraphernalia, coins, books, art, etc.
Jetcoin isn't Bitcoin.
And neither is Lealana (started and remain mostly Litecoin loaded), Nasty Coins (love you OG), Monero coin, Ether bars, Shibanu, Crypto Imperator Doge DIY, Blockchain at Berkeley Coin, the list goes on. And many of the bitcoin loaded physical coins copy some element of Mike Caldwell's design!
The best part is the fact that we're arguing/debating Jetcoin's right to be here actually legitimizes the physical cryptocoin scene. We've turned a corner. We're debating this like people debate art. We just upped this scene in sophistication.
This debate benefits all of us, whether you hold Casascius coin, Shibanu, one of those rustic looking "no-two-are-alike" brass tokens pressed with the
BTC in it, or one of the very few Jetcoins.
Jetcoin coin is more than just a coin, its an historic artpiece when combined with the business card.
I have changed my mind, this coin is no longer for sale.
I will be revisiting this thread in a few years time.
