Hi,

I've been spending some time trying to figure this out, but I think I need to hear the thoughts of some more experienced people.

I'm interesting in buying a physical bitcoin (yes, I'm super late to the party). Thinking either a Casascius 0.5 being resold somewhere, or one of the Titan Bitcoin coins. Questions are thusly:

1. Do you think a Casascius 0.5 has any value going forwards, or is this the top of some kind of bubble? What's a fair price, today? If only I had a time machine...
2. What do you think of the Titan Bitcoins?

Any other ideas/thoughts?

Thanks!

I think they're a very good collectors item, if you like Bitcoin and they're giving Bitcoin tangibility. Have you seen all those photos of Casascius coins in every other news report about bitcoin? I'd be worried though that the coin is compromised (private key copied) if you buy it loaded with BTC...

There are many collector interested in buying some rare physical coins, they have a quite big market.

Aren't there some mis-printed coins, also Casacius ones, that are very rare and achieve a high price??? I think it's interesting that even in the Bitcoin world, people tend to be interested in physical coins, just because they're golden and shiny

In my opinion a good coin is determined from the amount of the expenditure of the coin and its dev too
and also the spread of the coin, that's all I know might be able to help
