Hi All
Firstly, let me state by saying that I am more than happy to use an escrow on this, so reputable escrows - please get in touch!
This is a really nice coin, 'carved' by the infamous WOODCOLLECTOR back in 2015.
Name: Black Swan
Material: Quartersawn Zebra Wood
The black swan theory or theory of black swan events is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often inappropriately rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight.
The theory was developed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb to explain:
The disproportionate role of high-profile, hard-to-predict, and rare events that are beyond the realm of normal expectations in history, science, finance, and technology.
The non-computability of the probability of the consequential rare events using scientific methods (owing to the very nature of small probabilities).
The psychological biases that make people individually and collectively blind to uncertainty and unaware of the massive role of the rare event in historical affairs.
This piece was created to symbolize Bitcoins position as a sort of black swan event. "Black Swan" is carved into a gorgeous specimen of Quartersawn Zebrawood, (one of my favorite woods to work with due to the crazy end grain patterns), and accented with onyx black text and designs, then finished in crytstal coat. (the crystal coat is what gives it the glittery like finish that reflects like diamonds around the raised surface areas.)

The above is Woodcollectors description - my description is its a beautiful piece but it just reminds me too much of when i was scammed, he scammed me on the price of this and also did not send another piece I paid 3BTC for.
AUCTION END DATE: 14TH OCTOBER
