Yep, you nailed it. The copper blocks are now for sale on Ballet.com but there are restrictions when you try and check out.
"At this time we can only sell Ballet Physical Bitcoin to residents of these states in the United States:
AZ, AR, CA, CO, DC, FL, ID, IL, IN, KS, MA, MI, MS, MT, NJ, NC, PA, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WI, WV, WY"
So I guess this is the way to go for anyone outside of those states as well as international buyers!
Why would they exclude NY in that list? Was not aware this would be an issue. Thankfully I am using MJ as well.
