Bitcoin Forum

Hi! I’m the CAS Dealer.

I am selling some pieces from my personal collection. I have

100 BTC bar
5 BTC coins
1 BTC coin.

Let me know if interested by emailing me at TheCasCollector@proton.me

@OP
Asking people to step away from this forum to conduct business is the giant red flag of a scammer.  Conduct your trades here and through a trusted escrow.

Any and all user who would consider making a purchase... PLEASE use a TRUSTED escrow.  Several collectors have been scammed not using escrow.  Be careful out there.

Well said. I think the OP purposely choose to move the trade out of the forum.
If the OP used the right section of this forum to post the trade he should technically understand how things work on this forum especially when it's a trade that involve user with a newbie account.

Interested, send me photos of the coins. I may be able to help you out.

Sorry guys, I was just posting on bitcoin threads that I found online and was not aware how business is carried out on this forum. I’m always open to suggestions and recommendations.

Do you have a better picture of the hologram and back side of the bar?

Isn't this bar supposed to have an S2 hologram and not an S1?

To my knowledge, all 100BTC "GC" or "Gc" bars have an S2 hologram

Also, the 2nd "K" is should be lower case.. your hologram shows a capital "K"

Looks like this image was created with some kind of AI program/agent

Even the writing appears AI generated on the paper, and the small words on the hologram look off. Stay diligent my friends.

you beat me to it.. after further staring at the hologram, most of letters on the outside part are not even legible :P

Showstopper, you’re getting no where. As if you weren’t desperate enough before to scam, now you’re making alt accounts and replying to your own posts? This is right after just a few days ago, when you posted a 5 BTC funded Casascius coin for sale on Reddit for the price of only 1 BTC. You’re clearly clueless, please find a job and contribute to society.

Guys, don’t you see it’s the same scammer, Showstopper1111? He’s using another account, but this time pretending to show a 100 BTC coin, lol. Please remove him — he’s unbearable. He even posted on Reddit. In fact, the same scammer Showstopper1111 commented acting all friendly with himself, because both accounts belong to the same person. He did that to build trust so that someone naïve would fall for the scam.

Ohhhhh my, A Cas dealer, so fancy.. are you sitting in the Casascius shop with your secretary Monera McBitcoin. You must just be sorting through all your 100 btc bars just trying to decide how to bless us with deals. Please provide an address so newbies can forward their life savings to you.  Captain Dushbag

At least he is sorry guys. 😆

Someone should help him out so he can carry out his scam. 💀 (obviously sarcasm)

Showstopper1111, you should buy it.

… I wish people like this were the only ones that disappeared from our community or that every scammer was just as bad as this attempt.

Sort of scary how AI will soon make these scams harder to detect. Good thing the veterans here can smell scams through their screens.

That is diabolical.  I guess you can't trust anything anymore.  I wonder if this was done as a serious attempt to scam or to have a bit of fun at our expense.

IT IS practice AI




Just a practice run.

Lucky it
 for 9 million dollars.

A smart thief would have used a smaller coin amount.

I was gonna say that but didn’t want to give the scammer any brighter ideas

I instantly thought that photo was AI

lmaooooo

As someone who has been looking at AI images since early 2022 I don't think it's pure AI, more like a well done traditional photo edit or some combined AI output with a real photo.
Maybe some enhancement tools in PS or a similar software with some AI prompt capability were used.

Just did some research, the photo of the bar seems to originate from here: https://99bitcoins.com/news/meet-casascius-the-physical-bitcoins-with-a-real-value/
If you look closely even some dust specs are in the same position. Just some blurring/filtering was done to make the overall look seem more clean as well as a small transformation to the bar.
That said, the reflection of the table surface as well as the paper looks insanely realistic.  :o

The text does indeed seem not hand written but most likely digitally added, as some others pointed out, its blurry edges are very untypical for a real writing.

With enough effort and digital tools getting better each day, it's just a matter of time when fakes become completely indistinguishable from the real thing. - So always use escrow for anything of significant value.

Yeah but trying to make legit buyers be aware of the danger of say a 10LTC coin with a very AI trickery is likely being made now.

If a seller is new use escrow.

Valid 💯

Sheesh. This is definitely a practice run for the crap we'll have to put up with next.

Wow, that's a nasty one.

By the way, Gemini 3 can tell if an image is AI or not with pretty much reasonable accuracy.
