Two 1000 BTC Casascius coins were peeled today

[JohnGalt]

Wow - in FIAT terms - $179,000,000.

Why now at 30% below ATH, they left a lot behind?

Are they fearing a bear market I wonder and not willing to wait another 2 or
3 years for the next ATH ^possibly

Could be placing in a hardware wallet.  Did these go-to an exchange?

Out of the possible 7 known loaded 1000 BTC coins, only 2 are still intact.

For the 1000 BTC bars, there are still 5 intact across the different models. One was never loaded, Two have 0.001 btc and the other two are still loaded with their respective 1000 btc

So still 4000 BTC in these coins/bars!!

I read with curiosity the original post by Mr Mike Caldwell ‘advertising’ these coins.

I am so pissed that I didn’t even know about bitcoin back then because I would have hands down picked one of these up.  I was already buying gold and just landed a ‘real job’ earlier that year where I had disposable income to burn on ‘wait a gold coin with another investment wrapped inside!!!???’  My question is why did he sell so few?  You would think there would have been a list or he would have sold out like those Ballet blocks Mopar lined up. 😂

Oh hindsight.

I wasnt around back then but i would imagine that every single person you would have known would have told you that you were crazy. That you were wasting your money. That only an idiot would invest in something like this. Only the select few believers who rose above all that deserved these bars.
