Pieces with historical mentionings got value, but whats the correct price or how can we value a specific paper like this one and which will follow this Buy Bitcoin paper in the future?
There gotta be more of them...
That paper has some value if it is placed in the context of the moment and time in which it was created - that is, as some kind of message to the system, given that it appeared behind Janet Yellen while she was giving some kind of speech in front of the US Congress. For this reason, I can find justification that someone paid 16 BTC for the same, especially if that person has so much BTC that this amount does not represent any significant expenditure.
There will always be some items that will be valuable to collectors, but only their
"originality" and rarity will determine their price. If someone managed to write that same message on paper and take a picture with, say, the current president of the US - would someone pay more or less for that piece of paper than the one that was recently sold?
That last part would be special, but I don't think it would be worth more.... back in the day (Yellen) then BTC was still more under the radar, not known as today... and it would feel like a copycat etc therefor I don't think the value would be close to the same.... BUT I do think if that same individual would draw a simular original and is close by the president on an important speech then maybe yes...
I also think over time the one who bought it for 16 BTC will be able selling it for more in FIAT terms (BTC difficult to say, depends on price surge) and especially on certain timings.
