LTC may well drag BTC up with it over the next few weeks due to its own halving.

What happens after, I am not so sure.

Could well be a stable period until BTC's halving event draws closer.

I think we will see decentralisation happen in many aspects of life.

Once the general public get used to safely storing and using their own personal private keys, all sorts of things become possible.

Rapid direct democracy is one of them.

I may be wrong here, but I think they were $5-$7 each at the time.

The annoying part is that I planned to keep them long-term.

Ah well, it taught me a lesson about greed.

Most people I recommended it too found it interesting, but ultimately didn't take any steps to get involved.

One friend did invest and made £10,000 pretty easily. He was pretty chuffed

Lost 147 Bitcoins to pirate@40... so stupid.

Managed to sell 1000s of LTC before the run-up to $48.

I am sure there are other mistakes, but there have been some nice wins too

Yes, there are so many different use cases. All we need is time.

Being able to send value to anywhere in the world without an intermediary is, on its own, more than enough for Bitcoin to succeed.

Would love to be added if possible - I have followed all the steps in the first post.

... for less BTC than he offered me privately before this went for auction

This finishes in just under 15 minutes

I have a friend that loves the look of Casascius coins and would like some without the BTC value.

Are there many of these around? What sort of price do they go for in peoples experience?

 

The UK.

I should have mentioned - I will cover the shipping cost (tracked).

Yes , starting bid is for both.

I make forum time roughly: June 28, 2015, 05:21:57 PM.

Just to be clear: the auction ends in just over two and a half hours at 9pm BST.

Check here for current BST time: http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/bst

As I was getting a few private bids, I have gone ahead an started a really quick auction here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1102728

Hopefully the format is okay 

Both in great condition. Never taken from their plastic capsules.

Originaly purchased from nexus6 here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=655501.0

This is a quick auction. It ends today at 08:00:00 PM forum time. A bid within the last five minutes of the auction extends the time by 5 minutes.

Minimum bid increment is 0.01 BTC. Starting bid is 0.7 BTC.

Payment to be made within 24 hours of the auction ending.

Please bid for single coins. The two highest bids will win.

As there are two coins, you can bid twice at the same value.

For example, if someone bids '0.8 BTC x 1', you can also bid '0.8 BTC x 1'.

If someone was to bid '0.8 BTC x 2', the next valid bid would be 0.81 BTC.

I have the final say if anything unusual happens/I have missed anything! 

Happy bidding.

Yes may well have been a good idea!

Thanks for the offers.

I have been offered a fair bit more via PM.

Will leave this open for a while though.

Uploaded a photo of both coins.

Received some offers, please keep them coming

Sorry if it wasn't clear.

I bought two from him. Looking to sell one, though maybe both if the price is right.

Edit: Decided to sell both.
