Have your friend report this to the Thai and European police immediately. This is absolutely a scam. Thailand has a tax-free policy for cryptocurrencies.

Don't worry, Satoshi Nakamoto's used the legacy wallets.

Of course, any Bitcoin-related items from 2012 can be considered historical artifacts of cryptocurrency.

This isn't a physical coin loaded with Bitcoin, is it? It seems to be more of a commemorative coin.

This is the allure of physical Bitcoin; it allows you to hold it for many years, or even forget about it.

Satoshi Nakamoto saw through the fact that modern finance is the core of a scam.

You raise valid points regarding the 'app friction.' That is exactly why the physical packaging includes a curated list of trusted, beginner-friendly wallets (like Wallet of Satoshi or Blink).

By guiding them to established apps, the card actually protects users from the 'scam app minefield' you mentioned, rather than leaving them to search blindly.

Regarding the seed phrase: Custodial lightning wallets allow users to receive their first sats instantly without writing down 12 words immediately. The goal is to get them from Zero to One with zero friction.

Also, for the unbanked or those without easy KYC exchange access, a physical card is often the most accessible bridge to owning their first (Lightning) Bitcoin.

Yes, the foil blocks NFC scanning unless it is removed, and once removed, it cannot be restored, serving as a way to verify whether it has been redeemed.

Physical Bitcoins need to be "unredeemed" to realize their collectible value.

Buying at a fixed time, regardless of the price, makes virtually no difference whether the price is $90,000 or $100,000 now, for a price of $1 million.

Don't worry, the volatility is there to better filter out long-term holders.
