I wanted to make one of these things for myself, just for fun. I put it in the safe and one day I'll give it to my son or something. But I have the materials to make some more. What I would send you is a laminated card (size of business card) with all of the text on it, as well as a hologram so you can make and fund your own. All you have to do is go to bitaddress.org, hit "bulk wallet" and generate one key pair. Record it. Use a QR barcode generator to make a QR code of the private key. Put the image in a word document or something and size it .52''x.52'', print and cutout. Then take the hologram and apply the blank side of the QR to the adhesive part of the hologram (center as best as you can), then apply the hologram to the card, the QR code facing the card. Its really easy, took me less than 5 minutes. If you are in the US I will send you a laminated card and an unused hologram so you can make your own for $2.50, shipping included. If you are international, just add $1 for shipping. I funded mine with .1 BTC. Who knows how much that will be worth by the time I have kids?  |

There we go, revised with bigger hologram to allow for more readable QR code (.62''x.62'' but you can make it even bigger if you want)

Looks pretty cool. Like a time capsule in card form!

Exactly! This whole project took some time. I had to find the most accurate prices I could. Often it was a matter of finding the average of a bunch of averages. But I wanted the info to be accurate. Now I don't have to say "When I was your age I could buy..." its right there. Along with .1 Bitcoins which who knows what that'll be in say-10 years. |

I think there's a typo in the date. There is no way this is from 2013 if it's using Comic Sans

Nice. But why not make it a bit more universal?
Are you talking CAD? USD? AUD? The $ means different things in different countries.

Great idea, but if you used something other than Comic Sans for the font it would be better  |

Whats the joke w/it though, I guess I missed it. tldr version: artsy types hate it because of its simplicity and look. i really like this though. you even managed to capture the day right before a major crash. will undoubtedly rise back though. |

Please don't link to upspeakers who create highly disorganized (read: random) messes and call it 'art'.  OP, very neat. The last thing you need to worry about is the approval of little hipster font dorks... |

How you look like when you use Cursive:  How you look like when you use a Serif font:  How you look like when you use a Sans-Serif font:  How you look like when you use Comic Sans:  |
