that's the only word I can tell them, why they can not know that bitcoin is intangible ,, it seems they lack knowledge about technology so they are easy to deceive and for now I can only laugh at this story Okay...so I have a funny Bitcoin story for you which I heard from a friend.
A middle-aged couple bought 1 BTC for a 1000 USD recently. They were happy beyond what can be described in words at the good deal they had got. So they got in touch with my friend to ask him about how they could sell it. He sent them the links to various medium articles and blogposts on how to buy and sell bitcoin. The couple got in touch with him again and told him that they had failed to sell the bitcoin. So my friend went and met them. They then "showed" him their bitcoin. It was a plastic coin with the Bitcoin symbol on it!

So conclusion, educated yourself before investment
Well, its funny story that your friend have but this story gives us explaination that still many people outside dont know what bitcoin is.
We need to educate them if they are your friend or family because if they really invest in bitcoin they would give us benefit indirectly.
It's not a funny but sad story ,there might be a buyer at https://www.amazon.com/slp/bitcoin-coins/6qqms8myr43y5h9 Then the buyer sells to your friends with a price of $1000 and compare with digital bitcoin ,I'm so bad to hear the case Hopefully will be richer from now on
Which part of the story is supposed to be funny again? I read it twice and failed to find the part where you're supposed to chuckle. It's absolutely fucking disguisting to be taking advantage of anyone, and especially the elderly since they're most vulnerable. Fuck whoever stole their money and fuck you if you really find it amusing.

This is sad and not even one bit of it is friendly, how can you even get happiness by posting this story out here. It is never funny to be scammed and i feel your friend and you instead of mocking them down, help them find the guy who conned them and help them recover and had that been the story i would have given you a merit, have some decency and help them.
So you never heard of physical coins that explains a lot, it could be a real coin, go to collectible section look for a reputable guy to help you recover for them
I likewise felt sad after hearing about this story because the couple must have thought that they actually bought real bitcoin, and it's there's nothing funny about people getting scammed.
I have never heard about physical coins myself and I've always wondered where did bitcoin get it's logo or physique. Some people imagine bitcoin to be physical because they're used to something tangible and can't imagine something to be of value which does not have a physical appearance - which may have been the cause why the couple got scammed.
It is a funny story but it is a sad story at the same time.
People invest their money but they don't know what is Bitcoin. We have to spread the knowledge and let people understand what Bitcoin means.
They invested 1000$ a long time ago, it is the equivalent of 11000$ at today's price!!!

They should flip the coin on each side to see if there is a wallet number or private key on it, they could have money on it. A middle-aged couple bought 1 BTC for a 1000 USD recently.

I don't find it very funny though I agree that knowledge is important in the process of adapting and coping with new things especially when it comes to technological development.
Also, people may be rich or poor trying to be IN is just the same. I think you have judge them way to early because at some point, we brag a bit and nothing wrong with that.
People are happy that is why we act like we are braging about it.

All those who are scorning at me and other people who found the story are completely missing the point here. Because we know that there are scammers out there, we ought to be extra careful while doing our research before investing in anything about which we know so little. Isn't it? The couple probably has a lot of money and did not care much about that 1000 USD and that's why they threw it away like that without bothering to check with the internet or someone else before their purchase.
Where did this story happen? I have read in the news that somewhere in Siberia some gypsies have been spottet selling material Bitcoins outside of commercial centers for 17$ each. So this couple has clearly over-paid it.

there is nothing funny in this, this fraud is happening all over the world all the time, because of the lack of education of people, on the general excitement people stupidly believe scammers, without suspecting deceit.

I see nothing funny in this story. Elderly people find it very difficult to keep up with the changes in the modern world. They are like children. Scammers took advantage of this and tricked them. What's so funny? If their place were your parents or grandparents you laughed too ? Maybe it was all of their savings. Never laugh at someone else's grief.A middle-aged couple bought 1 BTC for a 1000 USD recently. They were happy beyond what can be described in words at the good deal they had got.

thank you Kronos21 for making that comment. I was reading through the thread and I was horrified to see everybody saw it as a funny story.
Well let me tell to everybody who considers it funny, that I do not wish you that, but every time you transfer your crypto funds to a wrong address, you forget your PIN or account password or you are robbed because your 2FA phone was hacked, it shows the level of your foolishness or that there are the same scammers in action as the scammers who took advantage of that poor elderly couple. You don't even have the excuse of being old and uneducated in the matters related to crypto.
And then you come to this forum with your tail between your legs and beg other members for help. Well, maybe you should consider your actions as funny too, don't you agree?
Just to be very clear: I can see nothing even remotely funny in that story of those scam victims.
Those "collectibles" are not really safe for trade, anyway, are they?
I mean, even if the seller can show the physical coin's address has a balance, if they are engraved with a private key, then the seller could sweep the wallet after the sale, right? Not to mention the creator may have kept records of the private keys engraved and waiting for a balance to sweep, as well.
What am I missing?

The funniest thing that happened to me is the first time I have my own local exchange wallet where in there is a buy and sell option and they have difference, I thought that there was just an error with my wallet so I kept refreshing it and when it is not yet equal I told my godfather why there is an error with my wallet and he just laugh at me.

Dont worry for Laszlo Hanyecz,he was one of the first miners and he sold and hodls a lot more than 10000k btc. And he does understand that his first purchase is a part of history now and the value of his current stash is higher thanks to him.Maybe if he didnt made that first purchase who knows what would history look like.....

He holds more than 10 millions bitcoins? What a lucky man!
Sadly, Laszlo himself claims that he spent all of his btc on pizzas and that he never managed to accumulate any significant holding after that. See his latest posts from 2014 in his profile: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/laszlo-143
OP: I refuse to believe your story is true.
The funny bitcoin story, many funny bitcoins like you are just like this in scams because when you're a scam you can laugh at it instead of the problem. because when your prinoblema is still inactive and never lose your lost money. and it's also funny when you're posting and thought you'll earn it by posting just (lol).

Maybe the private key is engraved on that coin. If not, then its a total scam. They are the victim of their own ignorance. If you want to invest on anything you must know what are you going to invest.
