Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
You know, I just realized I could buy a thousand dollar bill on Ebay. Son came by and looked over my shoulder:
"Hey Dad, what'cha looking at buying"
"Thousand dollar bill"
"How much does it cost?"
"About $3,000".
"I think you're getting shafted" says my son...
Yeah, he's a little bitcoiner too....

Is that a true story lightfoot?
Yes. Literally we had the exchange and I realized it was so insane I had to write it down verbatim.
And technically speaking if you spend it the bank *will* credit your account the value (it is still monetized currency) however when they send it in the Fed will note the SN and remove it from circulation. Unless someone at the bank coughs up the cash to replace it (I wonder if that is legal, possibly).
I suppose one could also take a 1oz $20 gold coin from 1910 to the bank and get $20 credited to one's account. Wonder what the Fed would do with that.
