people have added to it, just for the fact that it is securely stored and that the owner (the museum) is a known entity in the real world that believes more in making history then making money.

A night or two ago I was heavily considering putting all my BTC in a physical coin and hiding it,
I've only managed to accumulate 0.13567825BTC, think anybody would bother looking for it?

All my BTC came from mining/etc., I have been unable to find a reasonable/easy method of buying BTC.

there is a physical bitcoin at a museum in the UK. people have added to it, just for the fact that it is securely stored and that the owner (the museum) is a known entity in the real world that believes more in making history then making money

unfortunately, the creater/hider of the coin would have no incentive to actually hide it, or to not come back for it a month later under a different sudonym and claim they found it.

I've never had the good fortune to own a casascius physical BTC.

It would be really cool if somebody(with more rep than me)
created a Gold Rogers style One Piece
with a huge amount of BTC loaded on it.

I would propose doing it as a way to promote BTC and possibly get lots of people excited/informed.

The ideal way to do it is VIA Donations from other BitCoin fans interested in helping it grow.

Once a set amount of BTC is obtained(via donations?) they would be loaded into a physical btc(casascius or custom) then hidden in whatever state the organizer of this event lives in.
Only clue to the BTCOne Piece would be the state/country that it is hidden in.

Hopefully at that point traditional news outlets would run a story about this incredibly valuable modern day hidden treasure.

I would love to be the one to organize it, I doubt anybody would trust/donate to me.
So, Anybody with more rep in the bitcoin community willing to take up/refine/execute this idea?
