Okay...so I have a funny Bitcoin story for you which I heard from a friend.

A middle-aged couple bought 1 BTC for a 1000 USD recently. They were happy beyond what can be described in words at the good deal they had got. So they got in touch with my friend to ask him about how they could sell it. He sent them the links to various medium articles and blogposts on how to buy and sell bitcoin. The couple got in touch with him again and told him that they had failed to sell the bitcoin. So my friend went and met them. They then "showed" him their bitcoin. It was a plastic coin with the Bitcoin symbol on it!

This is sad and not even one bit of it is friendly, how can you even get happiness by posting this story out here. It is never funny to be scammed and i feel your friend and you instead of mocking them down, help them find the guy who conned them and help them recover and had that been the story i would have given you a merit, have some decency and help them.

So you never heard of physical coins that explains a lot, it could be a real coin, go to collectible section look for a reputable guy to help you recover for them

I likewise felt sad after hearing about this story because the couple must have thought that they actually bought real bitcoin, and it's there's nothing funny about people getting scammed.

I have never heard about physical coins myself and I've always wondered where did bitcoin get it's logo or physique. Some people imagine bitcoin to be physical because they're used to something tangible and can't imagine something to be of value which does not have a physical appearance - which may have been the cause why the couple got scammed.
