This Gold note and Crypto Token is a small but significant way of remembering the many contributions that our ancestors have made for today’s society. Our art, music, sports, and long list of great inventions that include renowned medical technology, have made life better for all people.
We pay homage to this culture as we strive to be the best that we can be. Let us never forget.
Interestingly those ten thousand coins would have been worth 100 million dollars in just seven years. In 2016 came a rush of excitement as the Ethereum platform was introduced to the world.
With this came the emergence of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and as time went by more and more money flowed into the sphere of cryptocurrencies. By 2017 Bitcoin for example reached $10,000 and continues to grow to this day. Without a doubt cryptocurrency is the wave of the future.
It all started back in 1998 when various attempts were made at creating online cryptocurrencies. Examples such as B-Money and Bit Gold were conceived, however they never fully took off.
In 2008, however, an unknown person or group of people using the name Satoshi Nakamoto introduced Bitcoin. This software went public in 2009 and by 2010 Bitcoin gained value after 10 thousand coins were swapped for two pizzas (yes, two pizzas).
Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining.
The commemorative note is Aurum based. The Aurum is the smallest definitive unit of gold available on the current world market. The notes are comprised of a layer of 24K gold placed between layers of proprietary polymer substrate, resulting in a gold note that is enduring, secure, and allows for an exact quantity of gold to be packaged. The value of the note is further amplified with attractive works of art and 21st century security features. Not only does the thin sheet of gold in an Aurum make it easier to authenticate than gold within a coin or a bar; the gold in an Aurum is also easy to recover using standard appraisal methods.
