So I thought at the very least I'd share my experience here on the Bitcoin Forum so far.
I came here looking for advice/discussion on selling vs. peeling vs. holding my 1 BTC fully funded Casascius coin.
I joined and paid for a copper membership so that I could communicate with less latency (limits on newby accounts).
I found two relevant threads on the subject (this one and another), and joined in the conversation.
I had one person reach out offering to purchase with a physical meetup, but did not hear back after agreeing on conditions.
I had a different person reach out to "warn" me off meeting people to sell the coin, and asking if he was too late to make an offer. I tried to respond and the account had blocked my account so I couldn't. (Interesting that THAT account was a brand new account as well...interesting.)
A few people sent helpful messages and a few replies to threads were helpful/useful.
In celebration of Elon on SNL tonight I'm just going to peel this and go that route.
So thanks(?) for the help.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
