Wow that looks incredible. I wonder if these will be a good investment like the Cassicius coins? I imagine these will be a lot harder to counterfeit
. Are you numbering them at all?
The come with a certificate of authenticity which uses Bitcoin technology to ensure they cannot be counterfeit. Each CoA bears a bitcoin address on the front and is accompanied by the private key for that address on the reverse. Also every coin sold thus far has had an address carved in the reverse side of the coin. The chances of someone being able to forge my work are also very limited in the coin itself as every coin has a very different and unique "hidden mark" that not even the owners of the coin know about unless they are going over the coin with a 10x magnifier glass and a few more tricks i am not revealing they will never find. Not to mention there is an archived photo of every art piece i make, and unlike metal, wood has grain, and the chances of finding two pieces of wood with the exact same grain patterns is worse than your chances of brute forcing a bitcoin address.
At a gallery event i went to in 2007, one of the worlds top Dendrologists who was speaking said the odds were 2^1024 over a 100,000 year period. So needless to say even if the CoA could be forged the art piece could never be.
As for an investment, I am an artist not a financial adviser so i would not be the one to speculate on that. Although i can tell you that in 20 years i have never had a client let go of anything they have bought from me for any less than 2x the money they invested in the piece to begin with. I do not know if that will hold true with the bitcoin art i have been doing, but its a reference point to say the least. To be honest, i do not think that anyone who has bought my bitcoin art will ever be selling it, i actually had one client from here tell me he was adding the art piece to his living will that it is to be buried with him when he dies. With its $19,000usd i would probably want to be buried with it too
