I was at a bar in Brooklyn, NY last summer and was doing a public poll for my own entertainment to gauge sentiment.

I shit you not I asked about 300 people in the span of the day about Bitcoin. People from age 21-35 and only 3 people owned Bitcoin, and of those 3 only one had it in cold storage.

We are so early with Bitcoin itself it is no wonder why the Bitcoin collectibles space hasn't taken off yet.

I suspect it might be another 10 years before Casascius coins get any real traction.

I’m quite shocked that only 3 people owned any. Very surprising. Hopefully a few were lying to you, as Andreas says it best “never talk about your bitcoin” or something like “no need to discuss bitcoin amongst, that what I’m here for”. Essentially just speaking the importance of keeping your finances private, as well as helping keep your bitcoin potentially pseudonymous.

I am a newbie here . I definitely joined because of physical bitcoin. I am actually working on my own crypto coin (like everyone else). It will be some time before I am there. I am going to produce doge and shib coins , if I make it. I have metals and am starting with sand casting, but will probably move up to a coin press before I make the leap. Any recommendations/advise would be welcome. Actually, any advice is welcome. I actually anticipate this market growing considerably. As crypto sees wider adoption, I am betting on these increasing in value, just because the crypto will increase in value .
I note that large coins sell for a lower premium. Not a lot of people with $7m on hand. Asking $14m for a 10 bitcoin token seems steep.

Speculation on speculative currency is risk on top of risk. I’m in. This is the future!

Always good to see new faces on the forum, especially when it has to do with collectibles. As glad to see you’re planning to make one yourself. I would be happy to help guide you down the “right path”. At least my version of it. Please feel free to DM me.
