Curious to know what shipping cost will be from Europe? Is it a good idea to ship all prints coming to the US together. Then disperse them out from here.

With a carboard/bubble wrap envelope and classic tracking I expect it to be 10$ max.

How much is shipping around US? I might need to use the ship big parcel - disperse in US way at some point.

Shipping these within the US would be around the same cost of $10
Pretty sure I have some poster tubes they would fit it.....
Happy to help with reshipping if wanted/needed Cheesy

Good thread tread! lots of good discussion



Thanks m8! Cheesy


Yes - security would be a definite need.


what I would love to have is a space where I can have my 3d printers, my lasers - basically my shop - set up, but then also have display areas for all of my collectibles and any that anyone else would want displayed, have areas where people can display pieces for sale (like consignment) they could also then list them on sale on various sites and if they sold, I would simply package/ship them out, a space for VR - where people could enter Bitcoin/crypto VR spaces - I know of at least 3 that exist now and I am sure there are others. A gallery for art etc

Before COVID I was looking at a building that could have done this but they put the sale on hold (due to covid - I think the seller got sick) and then I spent a lot of Bitcoin helping family - most who lost jobs due to covid - for example several of my daughters were servers so the restaurants laid them off.  Not to mention our unemployment system was broken, would crash repeatedly so it was hard for them to even file their weekly claims. I also used 2 Bitcoin to pay off my mom's house.

Needless to say, when it calmed down and the kids were going back to work, I was down about 5 btc and could no longer entertain getting the building - which had also nearly doubled in price.

I still hope to do this one day though Smiley

I’m probably not the first one to propose this idea, but what if we got a Headstart for next years 2025 bitcoin conference and we all chipped in to have a booth that’s strictly for the bitcoin talk collectible section? it would give us enough time to raise funds for a couple security guards and We’re logistical planning and tables and banners. I would be willing to donate the first $500 in Btc, we could have MJ Escrow the fund.

Would love to know everyone thoughts 🤠

Booths aint cheap... pretty sure Mopar told me normal cost was around $25k ?? not 100% sure though.....
Maybe something partnering with James at Stacks and Bowers would be pretty cool. Cheesy

I feel like James and the team would definitely welcome the idea! I am curious if they will keep the conference in Tennessee next year as well? Man I hope they bring it back to Miami! I am pretty sure they will after they hear all the folks flying internationally & hear of all the hassle they had to go through just to make it this year they might consider it. But who knows. I am so down to either try and partner up for something like that. I know one thing is for sure that if i'm going next year I sure won't miss the Btalk physical crypto collectors meet up  Cool Last years was so dope, although it was a little crammed and didn't really ideally get to meet every single person there and get to figure out exactly who they were on here but hey we will all eventually meet each other as long as we keep up over the years Cheesy

BTC  Media the host of the conference is based in Nashville, so I am guessing the conference will be in Nashville for coming years...   just a guess Cheesy

PCGS is now up to 27 brands with CYPHERHODL being the latest.

WHAT WHAT WHAT? Really...where? I sent them mine last year... waited 6 months only to be told no and they sent my coins back. If true that is good news.

You were added within the last 7 days, Congrats!

There seems to be some confusion at PCGS between CypherHodl and MyBits coins.

There are currently 2 coins listed like this.......One they have listed as CypherHodl and the other as MyBits
There may be some confusion due to some similarites with the larger brass coins that have been produced by both makers.

I currently have one of CypherHodls halving coins there and from the status report on my account, it does appear that they are grading it... but not sure how they will ultimately label it.
My submission sheets are always clearly labeled to which maker the product is from, so lets hope PCGS didn't decide to take it upon themselves to "know" what is what at this point.

Which leads me to also ask, who the heck is doing the authentication over there? Huh.... cuz it ain't me or anyone I know, which makes me nervous sometimes Tongue lol

Seemingly they mis-branded the MyBits Lion coin as a CypherHodl... all other MyBits graded by PCGS so far have the correct maker of "MyBits"

Congrats k!

Is it true that you have to buy membership to PCGS in order to submit coins for
grading/slabbing?

Yes and they offer 3 levels of membership.

I am happy to submit any coins/notes to PCGS or ICG (or CGC, PSA, Beckett)  Cheesy



None.. and they need to stop grading plastic. Just slab it and say it's authentic! Tongue

On another note - Has anyone heard from Kryptowerk recently?  Just haven't seen him around and was just curious if everythings good

I shipped him a package about a week ago.
I think he is just busy with work/life

I thought that all silver coins had vanity addresses starting with 1Ag. TIL, I guess Grin.

Most are! Only a handful of 10s don't follow the vanity 1Ag standard.. most funded early in 2011. Does that make mine double extra special?  Shocked

I would say YES..... you have a 1-of-21 coin (and 1-of-16 for being still loaded)

Seperate post (since I didn't wanted to edit my bidding post)

Looks like the minimum starting bid was changed seconds/minutes after the auction post -which I didn't took notice-, hence my current bids are (probably) invalid  Cheesy


Yes, I had it at 0.0000 btc and realized a few seconds after posting that I needed to updated this, so the post did indeed get edited with a new starting bid and bid increment amount

39  Economy / Collectibles / Re: I'm surprised this hobby and genre of crypto collectibles isn't more popular on: June 10, 2024, 01:30:20 AM
With all of the coin collectors out there and crypto stackers I am very surprised that this space isn't shown more interest by these groups as well as the general public. Now this could be for a variety of reasons:

1. The general public just doesn't really know about crypto collectibles or hologrammed coins/bars etc. (i'm leaning more towards this).

2. People don't want to get scammed due to tricksters or rug pulls from shady makers copying the private keys in creation (definitely more relevant).

3. We are still very early and this space is still maturing & growing.

4. There could be other places online that people are publicly collecting & showing their coins/ products (less likely).

5. There is a lack of interest because collectibles are already a very niche space to begin with.

6. What am I missing?

Now there are some recent developments that I definitely won't downplay that are incredible so lets look at those bullet points

  • Stacks Bowers & Heritage Auctions
  • PCGS & ICG Grading crypto coins regularly - NGC with the one off Otto collection

Am I missing anything here above?


I am also curious where there might be other congregations and groups of collectors in this space outside of Btalk

1. Instagram
2. Redditt
3. Facebook
4. Other Forums

Can you guys list any specific groups where there are crypto collectible enthusiasts or other lesser known populations of folks into this hobby? ....

To answer the bottom part of your post, I know there are a few strong collecting groups on Facebook.
I know Reddit has bitcoin sub-reddit, but not sure about any physical postings/groups.
Instagram I know has been good for some sales of certain physical cryptos... not sure about any groups/reels that focus on physical crypto


Now.. onto your question:

1) They don't... most of the general public might barely even know about crypto due to some mainstram news article that more than likely paints it in a negative light

2) Correct... there have only been a handful of makers over the short timespan that have proven to not be scammers.

3) I agree Cheesy

4) Not likely...from what many of us know, this forum is pretty much the only place besides ebay or Scarce City that physical cryptos get much marketing
   And possibly include the social media groups, but I am not sure what people show off on those platforms

5) Yes.. we are a niche inside a niche. There are people that have been met over the years that have been involved from the beginning that have had no clue that there are physical cryptos

6) Nothing... Hopefully with some of the larger notable things that have happened with physical crypto recently, there will be more of a spotlight on it.
