would it be worth more as this Einstein note over time?

*In terms of FIAT not in terms of 16 BTC ...

I mean in terms of FIAT stricktly, would it be a good investment comparing with a paper like the Einstein one or compared with a Football, Pokemon card etc

It seems to be a historical collectible just like the newspaper where BTC was mentioned for the first time...(I do remember an auction for the paper was held on this forum, but can't find the link anymore, if someone can add it in this thread its merit worthy imo...)

Could this BTC outperform a lot of them? It could act like a cool piece on the wall, but better like some famous paintings etc??

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...

This is an interesting discussion to have, but I doubt there are any reliable frameworks to come up with a "true and fair" value. At the end of the day, it only needs one freakish investor down the line who wants that piece of paper from you and is willing to pay 3 times the price. I am sure that most of us here have been shocked at times reading how much people are willing to pay for the weirdest items. One example: First-generation iPhone sells at auction for $190,373, or nearly 380 times its original price

If I had ever thought that this would one day be possible, I'd have stocked up on those iPhones. I believe this things like the paper you mentioned can indeed have value. But how much? I stopped being shocked about collectible items or historical papers and how much they can make you in an auction. To anticipate values is so difficult because as a response some people will collect some electronics out of principle just to realize that those items will never be as valuable as this aforementioned iPhone generation.

I think it could be dependent on the narrative that you yourself could put out in public. If there was an auction of a pokemon card, isn't there huge incentive for the pokemon inventor (company or whoever) to go there and pay an absurd price? Stuff is all over the place in the media and people start buying these cards hoping they get lucky or something.

I had still been giving a lot of thoughts to this topic and I still feel that this wasn't a coincident or just some show off of wealth, I think he was trying to pass a message of BITCOIN IS THE BEST of get normal folks to see some kind of reason to get bitcoin, note he didn't pay in fait, I still believe that bitcoin is a better kind of money than fait and any wealth folk would already know that it's better to pay in fait than in bitcoin, ikay yeah if he didn't have any money around, its woudl be so easy for him to write a check or maybe a loan from the bank and that would be so easy for him, but rather he chose to pay in bitcoin, and what woudl do you think of that?, to me a it's a word of advice, if you want to get rich, BUY BITCOIN.
