Casascius Regret?

[owlcatz]

If any of you guys feel better, I paid 2.24 BTC for an MS70 dime a year or two ago. Looking at the txid makes me think the same thing, but then again looking at the coin, I know I or my family will be fine eventually once they hit mainstream.

Hi Guys,

Do you regret buying Casascius back a few years ago? I bought my Cas MS67 0.1btc for 1.2 btc in 2015 when btc was about $500, but the premiums on these coins have squeezed a lot and rightfully so as many people can not afford the heafty price of BTC now a day, but if I held the 1.2 btc, it'd be worth much more than the 0.1 cas I have now.

What do you think will happen going forward? Do you think the Cas premiums will come back? If so, how?

And now with BTC at 10k, what do you think a coin like mine would even get? like 0.4 btc?

I don't mind to regret , but as you say these prices are perfectly good.
It doesn't really have to decrease in regards of bitcoin price stay with the price. Wait.

The same can be said about any transaction in which you previously had spent your BTC over having used FIAT.
Lazlo paid 10,000 Bitcoins for a Pizza but at the time that was the going rate. You can’t look back at it with regret.

Agreed.  If we all just sat on the BTC the economy would never have grown.   Best you can do is repurchase BTC after spending it.

I have no resentment when I see my now priced $14,000 Roomba do a half assed job sweeping my floors...

      Never..I bought 1 silver gilt from Mike directly..the other five 2011 series 1 and 2 in 2013.

        These are the first physical incarnation of bitcoin on a coin..to me they are a priceless part of bitcoin history.

         They will never be sold but will remain a part of my collection to be passed on to my children.

The only regret I have about Casascius coins is not buying a truckload of them 6 years ago.  

I do not regret buying a truckload of them. They might have been duds and rejects, but they got me through some tough times. I do regret selling most of them though.  

It is always fun bumping into a fellow collector from time to time.

  Yes they are THE FIRST PHYSICAL INCARNATION OF BITCOIN AS A COIN!

   The first incarnation of a physical bitcoin are BITBILLS, as a CARD

   Get your facts straight

well its very much like the guy that sold his 63 split window vett for $1,500 in 1971  ... now about 80k  or the 50 BTC donation here now worth a half a mil.. its all about the value of the day. we have an opportunity every day to manage long term investments just try to pick the right horse.. no regrets live for family value first

I regret nothing. Maybe should have bought more of them.

Think of the premium you paid for them in USD. That premium EXPLODED!
