Want To Trade? Background:I recently came across an interesting story by a man named Kyle MacDonald. His story was chronicled on his website, and I came across it on his TED talk. He detailed his bartering journey where over a year and 14 trades he traded a red paperclip for a house. His inspiration was a game, Bigger or Better. This idea of sequential trades for higher valued items is not new. Examples date back centuries, for example the Japanese Buddhist folk tale, Straw Millionaire. I would like to use One Red Paperclip as my inspiration to try a Bitcoin collectibles version. I have not heard of this being done in the Bitcoin community User @TedMosby is doing something similar (see edit at bottom). I would like to see what I can trade for. My bartering journey will be kept here in this thread. WTT: This is meant to be a fun thing. I am not trying to "make a buck." But I will be honest. I would like to see if I can eventually acquire some rare or valuable Bitcoin collectibles simply by trading up. If not, who cares, it's just for fun anyway. I don't really know if Kyle MacDonald had an endpoint in mind when he started, so I won't either, but rather will see where it takes me without any specific item I am trading for. Rules:- I will not trade for Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, that would be selling.
- Any items will be open for trade as long as they are cryptocurrency collectible related. While I would prefer Bitcoin items for this, others such as Litecoin, Ethereum, Monero etc. will be considered as well.
- I will only trade for the current item listed. I will not sell the current trade offer item for BTC, or swap out something in my own collection in order to make a trade.
- I will cover shipping for both traded items, from me and to the trader. So the trader will need to provide me with a Bitcoin address for me to reimburse shipping costs that we agree upon. Happy to use escrow for higher value items or privacy (if it gets that far I guess).
- Trade offers can be made in this thread or via PM. Successful trades will be posted in this thread to keep record and to show current item up for trade.
- Identity of the trader will be posted with the trade unless they would like to remain anonymous.
- I have the right to refuse any trade offer made. A trade offer does not mean I will agree to the trade.
- Please do not send any bitcoin to any PM sent, I will not ask for any payment for a trade or shipping. So please do not send your bitcoin.
- I have not made this a self moderated topic to prevent anyone from claiming censorship, but please keep posts on topic to trades, current items, or your thoughts about how the project is going.
Where to start:I went through some of my collectibles and found what I felt to be a common, low value item as a starting point for my trading. I have decided on this to start for the first trade offer: This is a generic Bitcoin Logo sticker. It measures 3 x 3 in. (7.6 x 7.6 cm) and is not special in anyway whatsoever. Please feel free to comment or follow along, and always happy to entertain trade offers if you are so inclined. Thanks for at least reading and maybe even participating!

Very cool that others have thought of this idea as well, I love the idea of digital only trades. If I get any digital collectibles maybe I could trade with @TedMosby. Currently the first trade is underway and both stickers have been mailed. Now to wait out the postal delays. Would love to trade something with you and I can't wait to see what you got! Geo

But I need to make 1 correction, that I trade digital goods in general, not specifically digital/crypto currency. Not off topic at all, @Mbitr! Very cool that others have thought of this idea as well, I love the idea of digital only trades. If I get any digital collectibles maybe I could trade with @TedMosby.

GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY!
I received my sticker from @tweetious. It is fantastic. I do not believe they have received my sticker, but looking forward to hearing from them when they get the original sticker.
I have updated the OP trade post with the newest item and open for any new trade offers!

@Mbitr, its a deal! I do love me some magic internet money and this patch is awesome. I actually hate to part with @tweetious' sticker, it is very cool, but the show must go on. I will try to source an additional one for my collection. Will contact you via PM to sort out shipping/trade details. Geo

I have not looked into getting others, but I might because I really liked it too and hated to see it go. Happy to trade for any future items though! Next up will be the magic internet money patch when I get it. Geo

As you said, unfortunately for me... I would make a trade offer but tbh, I'm not a big fan of patches. I will wait though until something else comes up to trade with. P.S: If by any chance get in your hands any other unicorn sticker, let me know!
