      That’s not entirely accurate. Look up Caesaceous coins. There aren’t many of them, but they do exist, and they are physical coins with a private key embedded under a hologram, which as long as the hologram has not been tampered with, is guaranteed to contain the amount of crypto it says, and you can trade that without electricity or internet.

        Until that gets common acceptance at places like grocery stores, I’ll stand by what I said.

        So it’s just a significantly more complicated and expensive coin.

          I’m not sure how much more expensive it is, but I wouldn’t think it would add much to the price of the actual crypto that’s in it.
