Physical Bitcoins how to verify?

How can you possibly verify a physical coin contains its bitcoin. Without breaking the hologram and sweeping the wallet?

If I were sneaky. I would buy a Casascius coin, Duplicate it. And sell my "chain of custody" coin, over and over again.

The only way i get caught. Is if someone opens their coin and sweeps the wallet. This alerts everyone else (if they are looking), that they've been had.

There is nothing particularly special about these coins to prevent duplication. And a huge $ incentive to rip them off.

I'm intrigued if I am missing something. People still buying these things, at significant premiums. Based solely on idea they aren't possible to fake?

I have asked this question in a bunch of places. And I would like to know why they are given such a premium. I spent 10 years in China. And went to a talk years ago by a researcher who uses pollen grains to track fake medical products coming from southern China. They change the holograms regularly, but it doesn't stop the fakes. And I think that pharma companies have more resources than Mike, and others, making these physical objects.

I don't understand the resale market for these objects. Would appreciate a discussion.

What if??

Hello guys. I am new to crypto and i just have a general question. As i understood, the reason why bitcoin cash was created was because, someone refused to increase the block size on bitcoin which made transactions slow and expensive. My question is if the bitcoin core block size is increased to the necessary level, will that make bitcoin cash not needed anymore? How long will it take to inclrease the block size?

Who Created Bitcoin?

The creation of effective processes, products, and ideas is crucial for a business because it could mean implementing new ideas, improving services or creating dynamic products. Innovation can act as a catalyst that can make one's business grow and can help an individual adapt in the marketplace. In the case of Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, he used the emerging technology of blockchain to create bitcoin and innovate the use of computer and internet. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, a form of electronic cash. It is a decentralized digital currency without a central bank or single administrator that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin blockchain network without the need for intermediaries. Bitcoin pioneers wanted to put the seller in charge, eliminate the middleman, cancel interest fees, and make transactions transparent, to hack corruption and cut fees.

Bitcoin is one of the greatest innovation yet also have a big mystery in the tech world today. Until now that creator of Bitcoin is still unknown. The first instance of the name Satoshi Nakamoto came in the form of a user profile on a forum for the peer to peer advocacy and development organization P2P Foundation. In this profile, Satoshi’s personal information lists his date of birth as 1975 and his nation of residence as Japan. Several people are suspected to be Satoshi. As said to this article One of the first and most easily dismissed claims was that of Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto. The 68-year-old Japanese-American living in California, was identified in a 2014 Newsweek article as the elusive Bitcoin creator. Another one is a cryptography enthusiast as well as a pioneer in decentralized digital currency, Nick Szabo developed a precursor to Bitcoin, BitGold. Still, he is denying that he's the creator of bitcoin.

One of the most intriguing updates regarding Nakamoto's real identity is with Craig Wright, for he is claiming that he's the real Satoshi Nakamoto and creator of bitcoin. He is an Australian academic who was brought into the spotlight of Satoshi when Wired Magazine published an article in 2015 claiming Wright “either invented bitcoin or is a brilliant hoaxer”. In regards to his announcement, it lacks evidence on proving that he is Satoshi. Adding fuel to the fire was an ongoing investigation by Australian tax authorities into Wright’s bitcoin holdings, which, after a police raid of Wright’s home, drove the academic to England. Some prominent bitcoin personalities like Jeff Garzik is still skeptical about Wright's proclamation.
