Whereas what it gets sold in Auctions and in sites are real physical btc. They do have hologram tampered priv keys. Some like btcc, the prestigious Casascius, satori coins, and some others come pre funded with btc. Whereas some like Kialara come unfunded and we can find them if we need. You can even buy funded/unfunded coins from Denarium website.
Note that once if we fund bars like Kialara, we need to break the complete masterpiece artwork in order to retrieve our coins. Hence most of the collectors won't involve in such a activity of funding them.
Since they are very limited in number during production, they rise in value as time passes due to their rarity.
You can win auctions in collectibles section and collect these coins which may appreciate in value in future. For instance, mike was the first one to design the physical btc. While he sold his coins funded, they were very cheap and the price of owning them has risen 10-15x the price today.
Same with Kialara too. Last yr 1 bitcoin moon bar and suite unfunded was sold in Kialara official website for 2000$. Since the total production number is just as little as 21, it is being auctioned at a price of 3-10BTC
All in all, it's better to collect physicals rather than shitty altcoins
Hope you got answers
Well said Heisenberg! I am not that wealthy to be giving out real BTC. I can only wish.
As my thread here said>>> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/krogothmanhattans-free-daily-raffle-rules-please-read-prior-to-participating-3910520
This all started one day I woke up and said it would be good to give away something for free for a change.
And yes I started with a good mood that day and only planned to raffle two pure silver Panda coins.
But upon seeing the fun and joy it brought collectors I decided to make this a daily event.
So...the JUST BECAUSE I AM STILL IN A GOOD MOOD FREE RAFFLES rules are
I will hold at least one FREE raffle every day and maybe more if I feel like it.
