So What Does 1 Bitcoin Really Look Like?
People familiar with the digital world in general and cryptocurrencies, in particular, aren’t easily fooled when it comes to scams, but for the older generation, it’s all a bit hazy. What’s a Bitcoin - is it an actual coin you can hold in your hand? How do these things work, anyway?
A BitcoinTalk user shared a story about a couple who managed to buy a Bitcoin for just $1,000. Naturally, they were on cloud nine and wanted to know how they could sell it. They contacted this user’s friend for some information on the topic and he happily provided them with all the necessary links.
Sometime later they contacted him again, complaining that they couldn’t sell their Bitcoin. The man decided to meet the couple and when they showed him their ‘Bitcoin’ it turned out to be just a plastic coin with a symbol on it!
