Purchase Price 272 mBTC (shipping included)
Mike is the creator of Cascius Coins.
From Mike: "I agree with an oft repeated quote that Bitcoin is the most important invention in the world since the Internet. I’ve long believed that cryptography has untapped potential for society’s benefit, and it’s this way only because it’s poorly understood. Bitcoin, and future inventions like it to come, are new abstractions that facilitate our society’s advancement, with a novel twist of objectivity and fairness because they’re controlled by mathematical principles rather than human administrators."
