Bitcoin physical coin
Bitcoin is the first real cryptocurrency and has been the real store of value for many years now. In market cap its been No1 for a very long time but it has started to be challenged by Etherium and just recently Ripple XRP.
These bitcoin physical coins are just imitation and have no real store of value. It would be nice to sell one of these fake bitcoins coins for $20k. Who knows maybe in the future they will be worth heaps as a collectible coin.
Mix and match buy one of each and see which crypto coin is the winner in 2018
There are a few different versions of bitcoin like the Silkroad collector’s bitcoin or the faceless man bitcoin which is actually made from pure .999 copper. This gives it a very nice copper look to the coin. Something different from the standard gold and silver look.
Let’s check out some more unusual physical cryptocurrency coins. Everyone knows about Bitcoin but what about the new generation blockchain coins? What do they look like?
Physical Ethereum Coin
I love these imitation ethereum coins. These are very well made with real gold plated logos. These commemorative ethereum cryptocurrencies are some of the nicest I have seen due to the 2 pack colors of gold and silver which work well together.
Ethereum is a decentralized platform for applications to use the blockchain, they can be programmed without any chance of fraud, censorship or third-party interference.
Ethereum is currently No2 in the overall market cap. It is gaining popularity as an intermediate fiat money changing service. Many use crypto exchanges such as Binance.com to convert Ethereum into other cryptocurrencies such as XRP or any other the other 100s of tokens available.
Litecoin Deluxe Collector’s Set
Litecoin has always been know as the silver to the golden bitcoin. Litecoin is faster and has lest transfer fees than bitcoin making it a logical token for transferring funds from each exchange. These commemorative LTC coins are well made. With the following dimensions:
- Diameter= 40mm, Thickness=3mm, Weight= 1 oz.
- Actual Physical Litecoin with Gold Plating And Silver Plating, they shine like pure gold and silver:
- Perfect for every Litecoin enthusiast and crypto coin collector.
- 2 coins for the one price – Silver and gold version.
Ripple XRP physical coin
A new player that could possibly take over Bitcoins crown in market cap shortly is the Ripple XRP coin. Ripple is currently in the No3 spot in market cap.
XRP is very close to taking over Bitcoins No1 spot for market cap and I’m sure that will happen soon.
XRP is a token or coin being used to transfer funds between banks as well as money markets all around the world in only a few seconds. This is agroundbreaking technology that also only costs a fraction of an XRP to move any amount of money anywhere. These have been cases where millions of dollars worth of XRP have been transferred between accounts and this has resulted in a transaction cost of only a few cents.
Just imagine a world where you can sell goods, provide a service, or send money to any bank in the world within a few seconds and receive fiat money instantly at a very small cost.
The Official Satoshi Nakamoto 3D Bitcoin Collector’s Coin
Nobody really knows the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. What better way to idolize this brilliant mind (the creator of Bitcoin) than with your very own Nakamoto collectors coin.
- This physical bitcoin coin is made to last .75 oz. 1.5’’ Diameter 3mm thick
- Great Christmas and birthday gifts for any crypto fan. The custom box makes this rare coin look awesome.
- It’s a real high quality actual physical Satoshi Nakamoto Bitcoin token made of zinc alloy with nickel plating.
Keeping Your Cryptocurrencies Safe
Don’t forget if you invest in cryptocurrencies like the 4 mentioned above BTC, LTC, ETH and XRP you should have a hardware wallet.
The best hardware wallet is one made by Ledger called the Nano S, they are very popular at the moment and often sell out. I have one and it’s made me sleep well at night. Never leave your crypto coins on an exchange, they can be stolen or exchanges close down without warning.
If you would like to see a more detailed explanation of how this multi-cryptocurrency hardware wallet works then check out our review of the Ledger Nano S. Its the best.
There are so many scammers out there wanting to get hold of your investments. If it sounds too good to be true it usually is. All of these physical crypto coins mentioned here have no monetary value apart from their value as a collector’s coin.
You are not able to convert these coins into a digital equivalent. Just hold them in your hand and dream of the day your investments go to the moon.
Hold your physical cryptocurrency coins in your hand
At work, people are often talking about investing in cryptocurrencies. Every day there is a new coin or token people say will take over the world. I like to promote real use case blockchain coins and tokens like XRP, ETH, and BTC.
Being able to show people a physical cryptocurrency coin makes the conversation so much real even though the coin is imitation it’s still a buzz every time I hold them knowing I own some of the digital version on a Ledger Nano S which is secure.
All the best with your investing and remember don’t invest more than you are prepared to lose, do your own research. I’m am not a financial advisor so invest at your own risk.
