If anyone is interested in a piece of bitcoin history, I can let a used one go for 0.5 bitcoin.  This includes shipping and insurance to in the United States.  International shipping is extra.

Will gladly post pictures if there's any serious interest.

But I'd still like to purchase some.

Doesn't look like it.  I'm guessing this was mostly posted to draw attention to the rest of the website.  A lot of their other badges are pretty cool and cost $5.99

No this was not posted to draw attention to the website.  I'm not a sock-puppet.  I bought one back in the day.  I'm willing to sell it at a 50% loss if anyone is interested.

Sorry about the confusion, it just seemed like a great marketing strategy for the website.  I figured it was your website, you might consider re-wording the OP to make that more clear.  ;D

I'd be interested, but only if the quality is almost exact.

You can't make a Nerd Merit Badge any more than you could make a Casascius Physical Bitcoin.  You don't have the intellectual property rights.

Yes you can. They're called replicas.
You're just mad cuz you won't be getting paid $400+ dollars for one.  :-*
If you can realistically make them Drahog I'll purchase a few.

IP on what exactly? You didn't create the logo, nor did you invent the machines to make embroidered patches

Still trying to make back that Bitcoin that you lost buying that thing, are you?

When was this made, and do you have proof of it? Something that old with a Bitcoin logo may actually be worth something.

When we first put these badges on sale in 2011, bitcoins were bouncing somewhere between three and six dollars per USD. Sometimes we made a little bit on each badge, sometimes we lost a little bit on each badge. But we liked the clean, integer value: one point zero bitcoins, not anything that involved fiat-currency math.


I would love to purchase some of these at an economically feasible price to give away to strangers
