Hey all!

Happy new ATH! BTC
We may have taken a slight dip but we’ll get back there in no time… Smiley
To celebrate this achievement and spread some love, I thought it’d be nice to try this little social experiment.
A couple of years back, I released a DIY hybrid BTC & ETH storage bar (see here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4355883.0).
I’m looking to give 3 of these bars away (shipped WW) to 3 users that are game.
The idea is that each user assembles their bar and loads each side with $100 of BTC & ETH.
These bars then have to be left untouched for a set period (say 2 years) before which they can be peeled and redeemed.
Ultimately, it’s a way of locking small funds into long-term storage and seeing how the price changes in that timeframe.
In essence, it’s a fun social experiment based on trust (and diamond hands).

Thoughts? Anyone interested in this? Grin

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Never peel, never redeem. The true value of physicsl bitcoin is that the art is to great to destroy and locked crypto inside becomes the base price for the value of the art. Once the world sees the beauty in this collaboration, physical crypto will be the most sought after collectable on the planet. We are the pioneers in this industry like the OGs before us. Spread the word, hold the physical, Never peel, Never redeem. Your children will sell them and the legacy will continue.

I want in. Generous on your part to put up bars and of course, I'm hodling anyway. Sounds like a great deal. Let's go : )

One question, are you saying the bars would be held in escrow, like with MJ, or with you? Or are you trusting the participants? How do you see this going down?

Gratefully

unfortunately I am incapable of making the keys and loading the bars myself but if I can send payment for a done option, where do I sign? And I will never peel a beautiful collectible so that part is easy

Bitcoin is a real life cheat code to gain financial freedom 😉 the future is going to be fun

Wow! Some great responses and interest so far. As this is a community endeavour, I'm open to suggestions on how to proceed.

I want in. Generous on your part to put up bars and of course, I'm hodling anyway. Sounds like a great deal. Let's go : )

One question, are you saying the bars would be held in escrow, like with MJ, or with you? Or are you trusting the participants? How do you see this going down?

I was going to trust the participants and just ask that they post the public keys to verify funding. Having an escrow hold the bars is an option too.

a long list of volunteers - how will the participants be selected? a raffle perhaps?

I love this idea! Looks like that might have to be the way Smiley

unfortunately I am incapable of making the keys and loading the bars myself but if I can send payment for a done option, where do I sign? And I will never peel a beautiful collectible so that part is easy

I am happy to generate and print keys per request but opted for DIY as a safer method. Alternatively, if using an escrow, they could also be responsible for key generation.

Would love to get a few more opinions before going ahead and finalising the terms.
Thanks for all the input so far! Smiley

I want one.

I buy crypto every month and would love to add $100 worth BTC and $100 worth ETH to this and keep it locked for 2 years.

Let me know if I can have one and I can provide my address in PM.

Thanks!

Note: I'd send you Tx ID when I load them with $100 BTC and $100 ETH for proof.

Hi, it would be an honor to load the bars. I'll never peel them. Bitcoin is a generational thing for me;)

How's this? You can send transactions to the bars with a locktime set two years from the broadcast date.

Use the technology we're given!

That would negate the idea of the thread …

Good idea OP - watching with interest  Smiley
