I was just asking about this on another thread but maybe someone can answer it here. I dont see the point
or understand why it would be worth more.
I understand why you want currency if you collect it in uncirculated condition but what is the point for bitcoin.
Considering your words and that him probably had a bad experience with LTCGear It follows of his account name, Maybe him means that coins with 'history' if the origin of the funds is completely legal, Or another example if it is not a ponzi scheme only, Etc......
Certainly the term circulated and not circulated not apply the same in both scenarios.
Edit: Maybe this help better:
Bitcoin
is a digital asset and a payment system.Bitcoins are created as a reward for payment processing work in which users offer their computing power to verify and
record payments into a public ledger. Mining is a record-keeping service. Miners keep the block chain consistent, complete, and unalterable by repeatedly verifying and collecting newly broadcast transactions into a new group of transactions called a block. A new block contains information that "chains" it to the previous block thus giving the block chain its name. It is a cryptographic hash of the previous block, using the SHA-256 hashing algorithm.
In order to be accepted by the rest of the network,
a new block must contain a so-called proof-of-work. The proof-of-work requires miners to find a number called a nonce, such that when the block content is hashed along with the nonce, the result is numerically smaller than the network's difficulty target.
T
o claim the reward,
a special transaction called a coinbase is included with the processed payments. All bitcoins in circulation can be traced back to such coinbase transactions. The bitcoin protocol specifies that the reward for adding a block will be halved approximately every four years. Eventually, the reward will decrease to zero, and the limit of 21 million bitcoins will be reached 2140; the record keeping will then be rewarded by transaction fees solely.
