Ok... not real bitcoins but they are real silver rounds with a mintage of 10,000.  |

Ah Bitcoins. Heard yesterday something about them being the first currency of our day to suffer runaway inflation, first (and last) step toward oblivion!  |

They were up somewhere in the $2500-3000 range recently.
But I'd still like to see them buy groceries.
Weird rounds are a blast if you can nail them fairly close to spot.

They have broken $4000 again...
The run away inflation is a good thing... (Well I own part of some so I like it ^^) the idea is that Bitcoin is finite like gold so there can never be more than a set number of them. That is what creates value... plus they can be infinitely split into smaller denominations, so once it reaches a certain level it should be stable but that won't be for a while. It is not the beginning of the end it is the sign that people are beginning to realise this isn't just going to go away. Think of them like a share as much as a currency, if a share went through the roof you wouldn't say its the beginning of the end. Rolex watches also have perceived value, these have been going up for ages, are Rolex finished too?
Peculiarly though other crypto currencies are all over the place, Feather coin has remained stable at 5 cents each for ages, yet Litecoin rose, Dogecoin rose and fell back... who knows what will happen with these currencies, I mined mine on the computer so its like a free bet for me.
As for rounds I have similar to that in three metals, copper, bronze and silver I think, I haven't looked at them for a while, I just thought them a bit of fun.

1 bitcoin = US $4,432.60 right now  I don't see the point of putting a "denomination" on a silver round that isn't even close to said denomination, but silver is silver  . It looks cool at least. |

I will admit, it is a cool looking design. |

@connor, nice pick-up. Is it the same design on both sides?

I received an email about these from JM Bulion on Friday. The company that produced these made the wrong COA. They listed a mintage of 10,000 when it was actually only 2,500. They are going to be sending me the correct COA to go with my 3 rounds I purchased.

After seeing this post I actually came across one of them in a pawn shop. Got it for a steal. Thanks for posting. I would never have noticed it without having seen it here first.

I think the B is for "bullion" no matter how they spin it by saying only 2500 minted. Novelty will wear off and you have a fancy ounce of silver.

Nice round with the bitcoin design. It's one oz pure silver? I'd like to have one for my nerdy corner...  @Crazyb0: bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. It's not regulated and physical laws don't apply to it. Hence, there cannot really be inflation. |
