Hi all,
I dont post much these days, but was involved in co-writing the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins along with elianite. I did also meet a bunch of you at this year's Miami BTC 2022 convention.
I noticed there was a major art exhibition in the middle of the BTC 2022 hall, and thought why couldnt we do something similar with our Physicals? Could we not get maximum exposure to our hobby and expose these to the masses, by having a museum set up?
I thought we could get sponsors to pay for insurance, rental of jewelry cases, guard, central floor space and other expenses. We then could display and sell our insured coins for sale. It would get exposure to tons of people while offering a way to sell our coins at a premium, for those looking to sell. We could write up placards of each maker.
Perhaps ask to do a major panel with coin makers, complete with slideshow, discussing the history.
At the volunteer table, we could have coin makers featured during the days. Maybe Bobby Lee could do a Book signing? There's lots of ideas that can be discussed.
I for one would offer up my collection for this purpose, volunteer as a docent and do writeups. Any thoughts? Any interest?
Think of this as Encyclopedia 2.0, bringing coins to the masses.
That would be seriously awesome. There was a mini coin geek-out session by a few of us in Miami, and even though it was only a few minutes, it was awesome. Would love to have something more formal.
