Title: A 100 Bitcoin Casascius redeemed Post by: TravelMug on December 25, 2019, 12:04:36 PM For the record, a 100 Bitcoin Casascius coin was redeemed recently. It was created on February 2013 and now it's worth more than $700K. Very interesting that he had kept it for so long, would have been worth more if he peeled it off last 2017 though. ;D

After all he has been holding it for the last six years, so it baffles me to say the least. So I only see this possibilities.
(1) he really needed the money (2) maybe he forgot about the coin for the longest time and most likely he still in the profit regardless of the current price so he just redeemed it right away (3) it was stolen from him |
