With all due respect to the previous posters (some good suggestions imo), nobody really knows what they actually want.
Reminds me of one of my favorite pseudo-quotes: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” - Henry Ford
As much as I share both your sentiments from a technological standpoint, we're talking about a piece of metal with a sticker on it.
Simply put, I do know what I want (regardless of artistic design/shape - I trust wheelz would come up with something satisfactory) and maybe I didn't phrase it correctly above. I would prefer my collectible coin/piece of metal to be made of a precious metal rather than a base metal.
I didn't dislike the distribution model but was off-put at the amount of alts that were not favorable. I thought it was a really successful run for wheelz and I wanted to give my input that I would like Bitcoin and Silver.
oh, I agree. I'd love some .999 fine silver Genesis Coins too. I'm not saying that I (and most people) don't want them; I'm simply saying that I'm satisfied with the current non-silver Genesis Coins too.
On a similar note, .999 fine silver coins are nice (and expensive), but look at how many .999 fine silver coins are still being sold which were minted two+ years ago. It's hard to sell all the stock. Sure, some of us are willing to pay $50-100 for a single collectible coin, but most people can't swing that much cash on a whim. Personally, I believe the current $15, non-silver Genesis Coins fit a niche and are (forgive the bad pun) right on the money.
Have you thought about a Bitcoin Penny Limited Ed. Silver version?
To go off topic bit... Absolutely! But the price would be sky high. My coins are specialty size, not the cookie-cutter 39mm. Pure silver in my size would cost a fortune. However, I've toyed with the idea of minting a
very few extra large, 39mm Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins. Who knows what my future holds...
