I don't understand it. It's sad.
If you actually do not understand why nobody is interested in paying a 1 BTC premium for a privately-minted novelty silver round, then yes, that is sad.
Leaving fiat out of the equation, one bitcoin is worth materially more today than it was worth a year ago. One bitcoin can buy you a car. Or a down payment on a house. Or a pound of gold.
Is a novelty silver round from 2013 worth so much that the collector's premium on it is equal to a POUND OF GOLD?
Is it really?
HabBear, do you have any photos of your Casascius collection as I would love to see if it exists.
