Topic: [SELL] Original Times Newspaper from 3 January 2009 - quoted in genesis block - page 2. (Read 6550 times)

I have an offer currently between 7-10BTC right now. I may take it, although I really don't want to let this go.

How much?

Did this ever sell?

I have the same one in perfect condition with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Any interested?

Nah, not close enough. Wrong Headline and all :-)

Sent you a PM. Made offer.


You can find the article online, just PDF and print it.

I understand your reasoning behind this. I would like to have this framed cover on my wall, but not 0.45 BTC much "like" :-)
The photograph here or on the internet doesn't cut it though - Maybe there is a digital version, like a pdf ebook version or the like?

The item for sale is the entire newspaper, including three magazines which came with it.  The paper is in excellent condition.
However, unfortunately, I have decided to increase the offer price to 0.45 BTC.  I know this is a large increase from the 0.1 BTC mentioned above, however please let me try to explain.

When I posted on this forum about the paper, a lot of interest was generated and therefore I tried to investigate the issue and obtain more copies of the paper.  I discovered you could order old papers online, from various companies offering the newspaper from the day you or a friend was born.  I subsequently tried to order the paper from these companies.  Today I called all three of these companies which I found and discovered that all the copies of the Times from 3 January 2009 had been sold out in the last few days due to, what they described as the paper having something to do with Bitcoin and having extremely high demand.  Papers I had ordered in the previous days from the websites could not be delivered and I was offered a refund, this was considered very unusual for them.  The paper is now very rare and I am unable to obtain more copies.

In addition to this I think the paper has unique qualities as an asset since its value is linked to Bitcoin, it’s kind of a Bitcoin denominated asset.  Many think there is a small chance that the Bitcoin blockchain may succeed and become one of the most important databases in the world, if it does, then the paper could be extremely valuable in the future as a collectible.  Personally I am not sure if this blockchain will succeed, I think it’s the protocol and technology that has value and some other chain without this newspaper in the genesis block may eventually become more dominant.  However given the factors above I have decided to increase the offer price to 0.45 BTC.  I apologise for this.

Many thanks

Hi, is the item still for sale? Is it the entire newspaper or did you only frame the front page?

Thanks,
Niv

Looks great on my wall if nobody wants to bid.
