Terms of a deal for my Trophy Pikachu

• I convert the bitcoin to USD Balance on coinbase.

Imagine being that guy who converts their $200,000 Bitcoin back to USD.

I wrote a simple web app a few years back to calculate ROI over 1 year for investing in Bitcoin in steady intervals over the past 12 months. If you’d coverted 10 USD to Bitcoin every day since 14th December 2019 you’d now have 2.144 BTC and your $3,650 investment would currently be worth $41,254.50. Even with Bitcoin being around it’s ATH right now, I personally wouldn’t cash out all of it in one go unless you desperately need the USD.

At any rate, welcome (albeit if only for a moment) to the 21 million club.

I told him the same thing

Insane deal and the use of bitcoin in the transaction is super cool as well. Unique. It almost adds a sort of James Bond swagger to it.

Definitely a deal to be remembered.

Is there a reason that you’re transferring the money using BTC?

Bingo bango 6 figure tango!

In reality. I’m surprised more people don’t use bitcoin instead.

It’s one of the easiest, fastest, and safest ways(certainly for the seller) to receive a large payment, internationally(and often domestically)

There are no take backs, there is no way for someone to put a stop, say they changed their mind, there also isn’t a taxable event that’s immediately time stamped(if we are all being serious, technically yes… but no)

Now when you transfer to coin base, that’s a little different though.

I feel like this is inaccurate or I’m missing something obvious. 10 USD a day x 365 days = $3650. 52 week low is $3956.58. Even if we round that down to $3650 at the low point while also applying that price out to the entire year, you only would have a 1.000 BTC. Just like owning a single Pokemon card doesn’t multiply into more Pokemon cards if the value goes up, you still have the same amount of BTC. Only the value changes. So you shouldn’t be able to have 2.144 BTC. Buying $10 of BTC a day should be less than 1.000 BTC since that $3956.58 low point was just a very short part of the year.

Math checks out

I was commenting on the sentiment and not the specific math.

How is it being shipped? Courier? Insured? International? With a handler? I pray it arrives safely

I have heard fedex express for international is the best way but I am open to hear opinions before we ship it.

[brendantheclayboy]

I mean…fedex is the best option really. From the US right? Unless USPS can do registered for international (Idk, never tried), then fedex is best. They won’t insure anything though. You have to have some private bullcrap.

You should probably say the origin and destination countries to get good opinions from everyone though.

[kpod]

I wish more people were this transparent with deals of this magnitude

[primordialaa]

I mentioned this in discord but UPS international overnight w/signature required was what I used and had 0 issues. I have bias though my dad was a UPS driver his entire life (just retired this year, w00t!) so clearly much better option than fedex

The most expensive item i have shipped across borders hardly amounts to 1% of this sales money.
I expect some of the bigger dealers to weigh in on the shipping they use
