Below a series of questions, feel free to answer all or only part ...

1. When you bought your first  crypto collectibles? [What "triggered the spark"

?] I have yet to buy one but I enjoy making collectible Bitcoin Cartoons for others.

2. What did you love about this sector?

 [What excites you more about this kind of objects?]I came across this forum earlier this year and I'd have to say the people I've met through it is the best part. Cliche I know.

3. What future do you see in this kind of collection? [Will there be an expansion based on the largest number of users who approach crypto currencies?]I think the draw to collectibles stems from a deep understanding of the Bitcoin network. The more people invest time into understanding traditional vs Bitcoin monetary policy, the faster the collectible sector grows. To talk my own book, I think art is a powerful tool for introducing no-coiners to the space. With my cartoons, I take something that's relatable to John Doe and tie it back to the language of Bitcoiners. Personally, political cartoons achieve just that and I tend to think my best cartoons have some financial/political reference.

4. What do you think are the objects or types of objects that will have a greater interest or revaluation in the future? [Coins? Drawings? Stamps?] To each their own. Objectively, I think physical coins will dominate in terms of resale. To the contrary, original artworks may pay off handsomely if the artist continues to hone his/her craft.

5. What advice would you give to those who are entering this sector for the first time? Don't Trust, Verify.

6. Can you post your collection item that you think deserves more attention? [The rarest, the purchase you dreamed of, the one you are most fond of?] Can't answer this yet. TBD.

7. What do you think could be the “holy grail” of collecting bitcoin/crypto objects? A gRaILLLL??? While on the subject of medieval times, I could image collecting / designing blueprints for our future Bitcoin Citadels.

8. Do you think it's a hobby "for the rich" or can it be started by "penniless" collectors as well? I'd say the rich have the least amount of pennies  Wink  Kidding aside, if the penniless come across an up and coming artist or coin designer...or becomes one...the penniless have the upper hand. Invest in thyself.

9. What do you think about the dilemma of those who buy items paid for in bitcoin rather than keep bitcoins themselves? [It is the exact opposite of what happens in classic collecting where an inflationary system favors the long-term hodler...] In dollar terms, I think the bitcoin would appreciate faster than the collectible. But stories are priceless.

10. Observations / comments / ask yourself a question and give an answer.... more...

Special questions for creators / artists
11. What inspires you the most in creating objects in this sector? The deep understanding of Bitcoiners before me. I take most of my inspiration from the words of OG critical thinkers.

12. Which is the creation you are most attached to from an emotional point of view? I enjoy my third cartoon, Ideas Are Bulletproof, the most. Wouldn't be the worst if it doesn't sell.

13. Besides being a creator of collectibles, are you also a collector? Haven't gotten the bug back yet. I collected bottle caps and old coins back in school. In time.

14. What do you think is the future for this sector? A circular bitcoin economy where like minded individuals transact without the state in the middle.
