I have been given a physical bitcoin. I am COMPLETELY BRAND NEW to this cryptocurrency thing. What is it exactly that I am in possession of,by holding this coin?
It may be a valuable item if it's from a known maker (eg Casascius), or very valuable if it also holds actual bitcoins too (meaning private key of a wallet), or it may be just a shiny useless (albeit nice) item nowadays mass produced and sold on platforms like AliExpress.
So without significantly more information I doubt that you can bet a more relevant answer.
