Topic: $100 bill loaded with $100 worth of bitcoin. Thug Life. (Read 2263 times)
Locking topic.
The large number of requests to purchase these pieces led me to post some up for auction, as a means to quieting down the noise (so-to-speak) so I could get back on track with production. I was inspired to create these as a thought piece on the two different stores-of-value, and how they would relate to each other over time. The numerous defaced currencies for sale on eBay left me feeling comfortable about brining my idea to life.
Remove the sticker and keys and it's just a $100 bill with sunglasses, a bitcoin logo and some text on the back. We've all seen the 'wheresgeorge.com' stamped onto bills.
However, I'm suspending this auction as reading this concerned me. I did not at all expect or desire this kind of attention. I wasn't even sure if it would make it to the front page of reddit.

"The creative additions to the photographed $100 bills could cost the defacer his or her freedom. But that didn’t stop one Redditor – who goes by the name maxfieldo, or possibly Max Field – from turning “Benjamins” into a vessel for bitcoin."

Again, how does it matter? The guy was overbid even before he placed something, so I don't get why you said: "I give the benifit of the doubt on this one". I never accused the guy of anything, I just let told him that his bid was invalid, in case he didn't notice. No harm done.
Also, auction posts can never be edited. A Hero member should know that.

Perhaps, like myself, s/he's never been into the Auction section, (feel free to trawl back through my posts to prove me wrong) and didn't realise once set in stone s/he couldn't change a bid.
I believe it may have to do with the year of the bills, or the fact that he wanted them to be sequential.
It looks like the bills are 2016 bills and I would think that banks fairly regularly get bills like this when their order bills from the Fed, but maybe I am wrongThese are series 2009.
A USA Note may say Series 19xx or even Series 20xx however, there's no clear start date and end date (clear as in why they set those dates)... It may well be printed in 2016, we might have to wait a year or two to find out. The $1 Silver Certificates had overlapping series from the 1930's to the 1950's. The serial number at the start and end will give you clues.

...that and for some reason, I can't edit posts in this thread?
90 seconds apart, (no doubt gazing at the photo for a while) I give the benifit of the doubt on this one...
The previous bid was cast ninety seconds before that bid was cast, I would say that the bidder was looking at the photo, (for ninety +++ seconds) and then cast a bid... Given that these pages don't auto update until *after* a person either refreshes the page in their browser, or, posts something (yeh yeh boo hoo - While you were typing someone else posted...) am still giving them the benefit of the doubt.

This is a very unique and awesome idea!
Why did you have to pay such a large premium to acquire the bills? I would think you would be able to get bills like this from the bank without any kind of a markup.

Very cool. To me this is like your other stuff, art.
I like how there is $100 in bitcoin on the $100 bill and wonder what the difference will be in their values in the years to come.
Would love to bid on one of these and will be watching.

Let me chime in and say this is a very cool idea.
Not exactly sure how I feel about the paper currency representation (knowing it is fed notes) but...
Cool nonetheless.
Good luck to all the bidders!
