🔸 Two Casascius coins each containing 1,000 $BTC have just been activated after 13 years with a total value of about 180 million USD.
🔸 Casascius is a physical bitcoin created in 2011 with a private key under a hologram sticker; FinCEN (USA) banned sales since 2013 making them rare collectibles.
🔸 Activation does not mean selling. Owners may simply transfer $BTC to a safer wallet due to concerns that the sticker and paper key may degrade over time.
🔸 There have also been several cases of opening Casascius 100 BTC whose value increased from a few hundred USD to millions of USD.
