Does anyone know of people wanting to have their Physical Bitcoins as collaterals against a loan?

Likewise, I have heard of collateral lenders doing some loans against Ballet cards but those are usually like 0.001 BTC. There are others like Casascius coins that have been sold by auction houses. Those auction houses consider the physical bitcoins as a collectible class of item for the purposes of an auction. This means physical bitcoins are treated as a collectible. Which means, it can have loans against it like fine art has loans.

Are there other lenders / investors out there lending right now against physical bitcoins as a collectible?

I was wondering if anyone has come across anything about either one of these two approaches towards physical bitcoin custody as a collectible. It would be helpful for a research report that I am doing right now for a class.

Thanks.

I read an article about a "Puercoin Blockchain" investment into some Dallas area real estate.

It appears that this is the wallet - http://www.puercoin.com and that this is the investment group http://www.puerbank.net

Has anyone heard about this coin? I don't see it listed anywhere. Is it a "private" coin?

So, I came across this site the other day...

Hey, it's not just you! https://mcxnow.com looks down from here.
Of course, we can't be sure about every other location, but at least it's not accessible from here (Brea, California - United States) right now.

Is he finally upgrading?

Hi,

I realize it's like the wild west here. If EVE-Online is any indication, the problem with fraud will only continue to get worse. There is already one case before a judge (The Savings and Trust guy) and I'm sure there is more coming. But those are only the lucky ones that folks managed to track down. Recently, there was the LTC Wallet guy that is long gone. Also personally, I lost 1.5 BTC into a Southwest Gift Card that looked really legit (but it probably isn't).

Yes, I realize there are escrows but that can be defeated as well with charge-backs and related actions. So, that is of limited effectiveness.

To place the full burden on the buyer on certain transactions is crazy difficult. Because even if the buyer performs as much due diligence as possible, there are scams that can defeat such schemes. Considering those scams on EVE-Online, it has happened time and time again.

In the US (and some other countries) Bitcoin is considered a real currency. I only have the beginnings of an idea, but I'm willing to put 1 BTC into any entity that successfully creates a way to validate an entity or group in such a way to make sure that funds placed there cannot be lost or stolen. Or, if it is, there is some recourse possible against the entity or individual such that funds can be recovered. So I am proposing that perhaps someone with far more time and (and possibly) resources than me devise a way that we can have a "Yelp"-like system (but without their version of the scam) or some mechanism such that consumers of Bitcoin purchased goods and services will now have a resource to go to.

Sellers of products on these forums could then register with this Yelp-like system and it would bring credibility to their posts. Their signature block could contain this "trust validation" and folks like me would then look for it and then buy with more confidence.

For example, in the LTC-Wallet case, if that person was "registered" with this Yelp-like company, that company would have the details on where this person really and truly resides. In the event that this turns into a scam, people can contact this Yelp-like company and then details on where this person lives can then be shared such that police reports / lawsuits can be filed against this individual.

Such an action or agency would end much of the risk associated with these coins and bring a lot more of the legitimacy to Bitcoin related products and services. I would welcome any discussion around this (along with any modifications on this idea). I do not wish to be the 'owner' of this train of thought... In the end, I only wish to be the contributor of 1 BTC into such an action that reduces the risks associated with Fraud.

Hey guys,

I had a copy / paste fail to this LTC address LdzuoqNWQDvfCyJXsraU9hpejqmsXt1pHy

If whoever the owner of that address would be so kind as to step up and redeem my 7 LTC that would be great. I'd be happy to provide a reward (Steam Games).

Thanks again,

MD
