Hey everyone,

I have been talking with a well known custodian and a few potential lenders regarding loans for Casascius coins. I am personally interested since a loan does not trigger a taxable event and it is also a way to access liquidity without having to peel or sell coins (especially with premiums as low as they are).

The lenders are interested but one of their main questions is how large the potential market is for this before they invest time and money into it. If you are potentially interested in getting a Casascius coin loan, DM me or comment here and if comfortable give a ballpark estimate of the BTC value you would be interested in getting a loan on. Obviously this is not binding in any way and I will leave it to them to legitimize the process and ensure the safety of all our coins, but this market research would be quite helpful. Thanks 

  Thanks for all the mintage information guys.  Windjc I did have a couple of lengthy calls yesterday with some investors and they just have smaller investments in mind with collectables. Of my group of friends I was the crypto enthusiast back pre $650 BTC or so. Now at $1.22 M for 25 BTC asset with less liquidity than an exchange wallet I understand the enthusiasm is less than a few years back.  I am a little more of a collector and drool over these cool collectables but like a lot here I'm not 25 btc wealthy and can only admire you guys that were able to hold so long.  This is a museum piece !  Smithsonian piece !  I think its worthy of a call to see interest there    

Congrats on the sale of the unique BTCC Double Block! & good luck on this one, I too would hang onto it until travel restrictions, etc eased up.

31 still remain intact. https://anduck.net/bitcoin/btcc_coins.html

Edit: The twin block remains intact. https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/16AoTTrCXWpUFmjUGPG5qqyrtVsLkvXFPv

and 12 of the artist proofs have not been peeled.

There were 93 made(2016). +1 double block(50BTC) +16 artist proofs(2015). Total of 110.

Elias' Encyclopedia was in the final stages around the end of 2015, beginning of 2016, so they would not have made it in there. 

Would you trade this Block for a complete BTCC Poker Set? 

I have one of the original N Series 2016 BTCC 25BTC blocks. I am thinking about auctioning it off with reserve.

Before I do I wanted to gauge if there was any potential interest on here for such an auction.

Best,

Jon

You don't get it do you?
What they do to your enemies now, they can do to you later, defending somebody else's right is defending your own right.

I can't believe anyone that was storming the capital, went there with the intention of killing anyone.

If anything, it was the police that drew first blood, killing that woman by shooting her in the neck.

This is the last I am saying about this incident, and recognize I am now posting about politics, which means I need to bust out the ole rusty pipe and go to work on myself as penance.

I'm trying to make a point here about there being unhinged people on both sides of this.

There are too many unknowns right now about the recent capital incident to take any rigid stance. We're presently victims of asymmetric information warfare, and now bringing that warfare here to our beloved Corn shitposting thread.

The Yaoi will become increasingly worse from here on out.

I have spoken.

EDIT: Oh... that's the good stuff right there... Oh yeah... I've missed Rusty.
EDIT2: Oh... Jesus Christ...

Dude. Please don't be intentionally disingenuous.

perhaps that's when miners start to feel the heat, I mean even with 6.25BTC mining has been really tough, it's only recently when BTC price went up exponentially -  those who held coins made some nice profit, the few months following the halving were the worst months for many miners, rewards cut in half, the difficulty didn't drop, and the price wasn't going up, I can only imagine that many miners capitulated at that point in time.

When rewards are 3.125BTC mining would still be somehow okay to many miners, even if the price was below 100-200k, but when the rewards are at 1.5625 BTC price needs to be beyond those levels for mining to stay as decentralized, if not, then only those with free power will be able to mine at a profit.

With the being said, there might come times when bitcoin holders will need to mine for no profit just to keep the blockchain running the way it is, sort of like how many people run full nodes now without any financial benefits, but I guess it's too early to judge since we don't know how will the mining fees become like since they will be more important than the block reward soon.


I agree with the logic, 1M before we both (and perhaps most of the people that are in this discussion) are dead isn't a logical expectation IMO, but I don't think the term "wealth" is accurate here, money, as we know it, is merely a digit in a centralized database which is owned by the federal bank and the like, 18 trillion is a lot compared to what does it weight against real-world products and services today, but with the never-ending printing, one day it will sound and be small enough.
