You can't deny that this ain't cool.

Ok, you're right.  I can't deny it.  "This ain't cool."

3) In 10 years, sell it to the Smithsonian for its "numismatic" value, i.e. its historical significance.
do you remember the first block reward halving? many have sent coins to be verified as part of the first block with 25 btc reward. that's basically the same idea.
Where have they sent them and what have they done with them?

Perhaps some day there will be a coin collector who will try to collect outputs of historically significant coins in one address.
- first bitcoin block ever coins
- laszlo's pizza coins
- SR coins (first 30k)
- SR coins (from the 144k stash, not yet released by the FBI)
- first 25 block reward coins
(what else should be added to this list?)

Maybe Edmund C Moy, former Director of the US Mint and strong advocate of bitcoin, could be the first curator of this collection  Grin

most likely to themselves!

(what else should be added to this list?)
there are so many things, e.g. in this case:

* coins part of txs verified in these first/last blocks
* first donations/payments to wherever, e.g. archive.org and WL
* this first pizza buy (many coins!)
* first regular salary pay (must exist, don't know about it)

You can even choose to send bitcoins to nowhere - effectively destroying them.
 
Didn't Karpeles do that at one point? Or was that an unsubstantiated rumor?
Yeah, it was mainly Mt. Gox.
Oh, and dooglus let me submit two raw transactions for 1,000 BTC each (for just-dice)! That was awesome!
 
Enough to buy a slice of pizza at one point in history. Or a small army in the not too distant future ...
Yes, except the several thousand people who own the coins would have to share that pizza/small army. Tongue
