This is wild asf!! I cannot believe all this happened and how much bitcoin he scammed, compared to the price the past year or so... It does give me some ideas for future projects or ways to increase the worth of my artwork so I appreciate you sharing the entire experience and story.

Wish you all the best and maybe one day he will make it right.. I cannot imagine the weight of being that unimpeccable would be on his shoulders..

Lol at first I was looking through your pictures on the blog looking for a bonsai tree as we had found information that WoodCollector moved onto scamming the bonsai tree community, then I read the above excerpt from your About PBA page and burst out laughing. Guess I'll say "Hello WC or WC's friend" and add this hilarious coincidence to the WoodCollector saga.

If you ever hit Full Member here you can look at this thread and there might just be some pictures of somebody you know -- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5321663.msg56490105#msg56490105
The friend you "met" in 2019 with a Bonsai Garden could very well be WoodCollector who was being accused of scamming bonsai enthusiasts in early 2020 in the thread above.

An ego like his I figured he'd eventually Google his old username and come across this thread.

I'm still very happy with having completed this collection, they look incredible displayed. Was I scammed? No, I bought these for the history/story. Does this directly link PhysicalBitcoinArt to WoodCollector? No but one hell of a coincidence.
Ask your friend about Coin 10 and let me know what he says Wink

Very interesting! If you wanted to send me a private message or email ( physicalbitcoinart@gmail.com) with screen shots of what's posted on that thread, I could let you know. My buddy lived somewhere in Florida.. He has one of the biggest bonsai gardens in the USA and paid me in bitcoin to do work around there. Maybe I could provide his bitcoin address he paid me with and see if it crosses with one you guys paid him?? That is a wild coincidence I must say hahaha
