Not sure where the "author" got his statistics from, but the numbers are off....
In that same series, Caldwell minted 16 1,000 BTC bars and so far 87.50% or 14 bars have been redeemed. There were 81 Series 2 100 BTC coins (worth $4.8M each) minted by Caldwell and to date 47 coins or 58.02% of the BTC has been redeemed from that minted set.

I think Og is probably right, but I think Physicals will still have their day.
Thanks steeley for sharing, I can only imagine how valuable these physical funded collectibles are going to be once the masses learn about them. It will be like the current nft craze on crack lol
I too appreciate the share as I likely wouldn't have seen it otherwise. I'm not sure about the masses falling in love with these coins though. A lot of crypto folks aren't interested in physical crypto as it does defeat the purpose a little bit. Having old pre-fork BTC is pretty cool and being tied to a physical collector is definitely cool in my eyes, but I still think we're a bit of a niche interest group. NFTs exist on the blockchain and appeal to the digital future aspect so I can see why they are more in the mainstream. Do I think that a .png image of a pixelated head is worth millions or even worth as much as a 1 BTC Casascius coin? No way, but I understand why it is.

I also see in other threads that Blucephus is making some of these gems available. Good timing.
