Just had to pick some up. That format of 2oz Cast Coloured bars is very popular. 

Hi, where did you order from?  I can see it on Powercoin's website but is there a UK seller?  The artwork for the rest of the series is, IMHO even better than this first one so I am tempted to collect these.

Bitcoin market cap now above silver.  Bitcoin has a finite supply so any amount of price increase does not increase the supply, unlike any physical asset.

An unused but available overdraft facility may be useful as a buffer while you liquidate other assets.

If the price of gold goes up it becomes profitable to mine more of it so more gets mined.  As the supply increases so the price comes down.

It is VERY different with Bitcoin as the supply is mathematically controlled and there is also a finite limit of 21 million bitcoin.  Miners earn a certain rate in bitcoin for their work validating the blockchain and every four years the rate is halved.  The next "halvening" is not long now in the future and usually triggers a bullrun, though some would argue the bullrun has been here for a while.

The smart money will ride the BTC price up through the bullrun and then sell near the top, probably putting the profits back into something like gold again.  Alternatively, you can hodl BTC for the long term and the returns are much higher than for gold.

Is the pair of bollocks in the design intentional?

I'd be more worried about the other people nearby overhearing when it should be none of their business ... especially at a local PO where it could be people that know who you are or where you live 🤪

It's like in the pharmacy when they want you to state your name and address in front of all the other customers ... these days I just hand them my photocard driving licence to read it (silently!) from.  Maybe I'm too paranoid 😂

I've only ever bought one proof coin brand new and I returned it because it was damaged.  What is the point of paying proof prices for bullion quality?  I'd return it for a full refund including any delivery and return charges then buy a bullion one instead.  But that's just me 😂

They've now re-sent the email with a correction 👍

If you check their site you will see this is a mistake,

Of course it is a mistake 😂 I guess someone there will be getting a ribbing tomorrow 😂

Got this in a marketing email today from Chards ... note the premiums of £52 per oz and £495 per oz!!! 😂

I'll take No. 4 if still available please. PM sent.

Picked these 2 up today from the flea market/car boot at Fuengirola for €5 for the pair. Haven't weighed or magnet tested them yet ... will do when I get home ... but they make a nice ringing sound when struck so I'm hoping I got a real bargain!

Oh dear, I guess these are fake then. Glad it didn't cost me much to find out 😂

I have 5 left at the moment with 1 pending payment which I am expecting will complete today so in effect 4 left unless the pending one falls through for any reason.

Now only 4 left.
