I can also say that i have used these devices as well - my favorites are the seed signer then the passport - Jade I did like but I recently heard that Blockstream may have had a huge customer data breach.
I have built numerous seedsigners as well - great devices.

someone should tell them... they have it listed as ".021 BTC" in the "Lot Description" but then have it correctly stated as .0021 BTC in the title. One is right and one is wrong.

Crazy rare pieces... I'ma give it a shot, but looking at some celebrity collectors that already joined the auction let's see how this goes. to help with explaining the differences in the coins mintage.
There were 1000 coins made. 974 with a silver hologram, 15 with a gold hologram all numbered 0000 with letters above QR code, of the 974 there were 11 with errors, those 11 were then used to create 8 with gold holograms with the numbers #1-4 and 97-100 and were accompanied with the book above. The 3 remaining were not used.
Ah, thanks for the explanation. So regarding these gold holo coins, all were sold with the book - where did these sales happen? 8 accompanied books and are numbered as specified above. 1 of which is in this auction. The 15 with gold holos and numbered '0000' - I cannot answer where all of those went, I only know where 1 of them is. |

that would be a question to ask them. There are lots of makers who currently sell loaded coins.
I am not involved with the XRP coins at all.
edit:
perhaps this is done where this is a "collectible" which is being sold for more than the intrinsic value. And they view this as a non "money transmitting" action.
Does the maker live in the usa? That's all that really matters I Think to FINCEN.  There are quite a few makers who sell loaded collectibles right here on the forums that are in the US - I wonder how many have the money transmitter license? |

I dont see it any different than owning a regular car with no markings - by driving that car you are proclaiming you have fiat - by wearing non-bitcoin clothes you are proclaiming you have fiat.
unless you are living in a ditch and homeless wearing threadbare clothes or nothing at all - you are not hiding the fact that you have funds available to you - whether it is Bitcoin and/or fiat.
people will not know if you have 100k sats or a 100k USD - unless you tell them how much you have.
high profile people are targeted whether it is fiat or crypto or Bitcoin that they flaunt.
And that is the difference here - while it will always be apparent by looking at me or listening to me that I support and believe in Bitcoin, you will never look at me and think of me as some rich fucker to knock off. As Bitcoin gains more adoption, I actually think the risk will diminish.
If normal people begin to be targeted, I might have to rethink my ways - until then, move forward - advance the awareness and the knowledge.
Yes, although fiat is not bitcoin. Fiat is the monetary energy of the collapsing slave system. Bitcoin is the monetary energy of the emerging system of cryptographic enabled freedom. The masses fail to grasp their fiat is not bitcoin and will never spend like bitcoin. A car with a bitcoin logo sticker is a car with a bitcoin logo sticker. The only difference is it reveals your hand and your affiliation to potentially a technology that may become censored and oppressed. maybe it depends where you live. I dont have that issue here. I will not hide my beliefs - that is guaranteed. Everything I do in Bitcoin is above board and on the books. Again, I never say how much I have and if someone thinks a logo alone is grounds to rob someone, they are likely to lose. I wouldn't wear a ring or jewellery with the bitcoin symbol on it but a useful lightning ring made with gold that operates like the bolt lightning ring would be interesting
I have the bolt one - pretty cool. |

how are they getting away with selling loaded coins (xrp) with crypto on them legally ?

Can you please post a link to the XRP army coin, I am very interested.

the holder doesn't quite fit it right and it isnt centered. I really dislike when you pay for grading/slabbing and they are very critical of the item but then cant place it in a slab centered or facing the right way or have it rotated wrong. The item is still protected but still looks sloppy. my opinion at least.

The problem faced is you never know who is watching and their level of capability.
Your bullets won't do any good if someone places or implants a key-logger on your computer, because you profiled yourself as a bitcoiner.
There was a case I looked at a few years ago where a threat-actor group combed bitcoin forums, bitcoin reddit and other places and compiled a list of the largest holders of bitcoin to stage sim-swaps. Linking their linked-in, and other social media accounts.
The group swapped a guy for 5 million in BTC. Secret service caught the criminals in less than three months, but it goes to show you.
I dont do any Bitcoin transactions on a pc with internet access. and your scenarios have zero connection to having Bitcoin - this can happen for anyone - regardless of whether they use Bitcoin or not. No where do I post what I have. At the end of the day, you can hide or you can live your life. I choose to live my life. |

I wear Bitcoin apparel as well, but I am always concealed carrying my Glock 43x haha.
I always have my conceal carry with me as well - typically a BUL Cherokee 9mm Flexing bitcoin logos in pubic is generally not a good idea.
I don't see it as flexing. I do it to illicit people to ask me about Bitcoin. I don't go around broadcasting how much I have or don't have. But I really do not see it as any different than wearing anything - everything cost something or broadcasts that you have an interest in something that costs something. I will not hide what I believe in or hide who I am. And I feel sorry for anyone who comes to try and take anything from me. |

dont think I would ever wear something like that - though might buy one to stick on the shelf. personally I just have my watch face set to show the Bitcoin price.
Saw him post this on twitter - pretty cool still all the same.

I may be interested, I wear a bitcoin shirt pretty much every day, along with a bitcoin hat. I also have a bitcoin ring and bracelet. My apple watch face is a bitcoin ticker.
But where I live isn't really a place where someone's going to try and rob another on the street - too much concern about getting shot by the person they would try to rob. Here it is more break/entering and home robberies that happen.
