How many Casascius owners sold at $10K ? $20K ? UPDATED till end of 2017.

[adaseb]

Decided to re-analyse the 25BTC and 100BTC coins since my very first post BTC doubled again to $20K and BCH doubled again to $4K.


25BTC Coins  ( https://casascius.uberbills.com/?type=25&status=active )


Starting at beginning of 2017, there were about 501 active coins. BTC at the beginning of the year was around $1K


When BTC hit $10K (end of November)  50 were opened.

Today, right after BTC peaked at $20K and BCH peaked at $4K. 67 were opened


So only 13% were opened in 2017 when priced went up about 2000%. Seems like either some of these coins might of been lost or Casascius are so wealthy that they don't bother to sell.



100 BTC Coins ( https://casascius.uberbills.com/?type=100&status=active )

When BTC hit $10K (end of November) 7 were redeemed.

Today, right after BTC peaked at $20K and BCH peaked at $4K. Another 2 were redeemed. So only 9 redeemed in entire year of 2017.

Similiar percentage of 14% redeemd in 2017 after BTC appreciated 2000% in value. Actually more like 2200% if you include the forked coins.

Why peel now after so long with such a bright future?

I'm honestly surprised at any of the singles getting redeemed.  I can see on a pump of bcash that the 25s or 100s get redeemed because of the lower premiums, but the higher the coin value the better chance the owner doesn't need to redeem anyway.  I've never peeled and don't plan on it either way.
