Especially if you are talking about GA keys, classic covers, or HTF rare GA books that seldom come to market. Has anyone positively identified a "crypto" buyer? I am curious what they look like.

Do you still count as "crypto" buyer if you have a Coinbase account with no money in it If so, I know of one crypto buyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things I wish I could forget. Yes, but it can't be anything as close to the questionable stories that you hear about the guys at the top of the food chain at Heritage.

Well, since Bitcoin is once again finally approaching near its all time highs, I guess it's the guys who are doing this Unless you are lucky enough to be one of the long time holders of Nivida stock and now counting the number of zero's in your portfolio account, as it has now vaulted past Google and Amazon all the way into the #4 position in terms of the most valuable companies in the U.S. behind only Microsoft, Apple, and Saudi Aramco and with possibly more growth potential than most of these other companies. Especially since a holding of a mere 300 shares back in 2016 valued at less than $10K would now have you looking at a cool million, although a million dollars today is certainly nothing like what old timers like us used to dream of having in the good old days when it really meant something. Especially when a million dollars wouldn't even come anywhere close to buying you a dilapidated ready to be torn down shack on the poor side of town nowadays.

So no names, just the generic "crypto guys". Some phantoms are driving up prices. The mysterious "others" who are destroying our hobby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
