Hi all,
I dont post much these days, but was involved in co-writing the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins along with elianite. I did also meet a bunch of you at this year's Miami BTC 2022 convention.
I noticed there was a major art exhibition in the middle of the BTC 2022 hall, and thought why couldnt we do something similar with our Physicals? Could we not get maximum exposure to our hobby and expose these to the masses, by having a museum set up?
I thought we could get sponsors to pay for insurance, rental of jewelry cases, guard, central floor space and other expenses. We then could display and sell our insured coins for sale. It would get exposure to tons of people while offering a way to sell our coins at a premium, for those looking to sell. We could write up placards of each maker.
Perhaps ask to do a panel with coinmakers, complete with slideshow, discussing the history.
I for one would offer up my collection for this purpose and do writeups. Any thoughts? Any interest?
