... I would turn up within a day with 40k cash to buy 100 of them. ...
UK (pound) value of bitcoin is £240~
100 bitcoin + spot price for the novelty of it being in coin form would be about £25,440 at most..
(£1440 due to your own valuation of unfunded coin at 0.06btc (£14.40*100)
so i ask 40k?
was that the actual valuation words you gave him £40k? (talking in terms of pounds) or did you, for the benefit of this forum translate it to dollar value to appease the many american readers here
£25,440 is about $40k. Its fair to assume he meant dollars then, its mostly how bitcoins are valued unfortunately.
You have to be extra careful when buying physical loaded bitcoins. They might have taken off the holographic tape and reinserted it. They may swipe the keys right after they have handed you the coins.
I love the look of the coins but hardly seems to add to the security of the whole deal that the tape is what it hinges on. If I had that much bitcoin, I'll just sell one and buy conventential solid silver coin that can be measured fairly simply dimensions/weight
