Thank you for the very kind words, KY.

We slash prices on almost all our products when BTC spikes For example, in 2017 when BTC started spiking through the roof, we slashed all our prices by a whopping 75%! (See the post HERE.)

I hear what you're saying, and I understand your grief about it. I often feel the same way. Many sellers are happy to keep the same BTC price even while BTC is sky-rocketing. That's not me, and that's not how our company does business.

FWIW, we honored the .1 BTC price on all our gold pre-orders, even for those customers (more than 50% of our total customers) who waited until BTC lost 1/3 of its value before paying. We lost thousands of dollars worth of pre-order funds due to many customers waiting 2+ weeks to pay. We cannot continue doing that in the future. I'm sure you are aware that ALL BTC prices are based on USD, no matter the product or company. Mints do not accept BTC as payment, so our company must calculate the cost of minting each coin, then convert that into BTC. That's why all collectibles on BitcoinTalk are based on USD. That have to be. And when BTC crashes, we have two choices — take a loss or raise the BTC price to compensate. And when BTC spikes, we have two similar choices — keep the BTC price (which feels a little greedy to me) or lower the BTC price to compensate and help the customer (which is what we do.

I'm with you on the idea that it would be great if all bitcoin collectibles were 100% based on BTC. Unfortunately, mints (and most other production houses, such as manhole cover foundries, for example) only accept USD. Until that changes, we will never have a true BTC collectibles market.

I hope that answered your questions.

Thanks, KY.

Quote from bitcoin penny that is too good not to share. I believe it's reasons like those that they are the number 1 crypto collectable that isn't loadable in 99% of the time.

Oh man, hate that I missed this.

If anyone cancels, please let me know, would like to pick one up.

UPDATE on the GOLD (pt.2)

The custom dies should be ready next week. The minting process will start soon after. We're still on schedule for an early January release date.

Also, we will have five (5) coins available for purchase. The sale price will be based on the current BTC value at the time of purchase.

Thank you all for your strong and generous support of bitcoin and The Bitcoin Penny Company!

UPDATE on the GOLD: We hope to start production on these gold coins soon, but we’re still waiting on a few pre-order payments to arrive before we can pay the mint. If you’ve reserved coins but haven’t sent the funds yet, I’ll be sending you a PM today to check on the status. (No real hurry, but we can’t start production until all the pre-order funds arrive. I'm sure you understand.)

Thanks again, everyone, for supporting bitcoin and The Bitcoin Penny Company.

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words and for voicing your thoughts on our (as Fattcatt calls it) "funny flip" orientation experiment. We always appreciate feedback — good or bad.

Once all the pre-order payments are received, we'll start the minting process. (We hope to start by the end of next week.)

Thanks again for supporting bitcoin and The Bitcoin Penny Company.

Chris

PS — Congratulations on your first "win," Fattcatt. We're proud to be a part of it.

Hells Bells....I  NEVER win anything, been here for years and spent a fortune, the Platinum funny flip coin is the FIRST thing that I won in here, with the exception of the 1 oz. silver coins that were raffled by Og Nasty

Seriously Chris, you gotta do the funny flip thing again, it really was a pleasant surprise for me....and would be for anyone finding one. Maybe the penny broke my years of losing streak......    one can only HOPE!!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!

Congrats on selling out!! 

Yes, good idea on Gold too!




...(runs to check platinums) 

Yes³ please²!

yeah please

its much fun

Yes, yes yes!!!

Yes go for it, love the fun

Chris...Yes please do include the same rarer book-turn orientation.

I didn't get one but am very happy regardless. 

 I want to try and get it with the new Godl!  

COMMUNITY POLL

As you all know, our recent PLATINUM release included a rarer variation. Most of the coins (60/70) were minted in our usual coin-flip orientation. Additionally, 10 coins were minted in the rarer book-turn orientation. (Odd of finding the rarer variation were 1:7.) We thought this might add a fun surprise to the release. However, it's quite natural that some customers may have felt a bit disappointed upon opening boxes only to discover the more common fine platinum coins. While that reaction is understandable and easily empathized, we at the Bitcoin Penny Company believe that ALL unboxing experiences should be full of excitement and happiness with all possible expectations exceeded.

With that said, I would like to invite the community to offer feedback on whether our upcoming 2019 GOLD release should include a few rarer book-turn orientations (10% of the release = 10 coins = 1:10 chance) as with our recent PLATINUM release.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Regards,
Chris
