Casascius bitcoins are shiny metal relics from BTC’s hair-metal era, minted by Mike Caldwell between 2011 and 2013 to embody real bitcoin tucked inside each coin.

The market, now in “extreme fear” territory, has not seen such gloom since April, when President Trump’s tariff tantrum caused a $500 billion implosion. This October, however, has outdone itself-a $900 billion hemorrhage, Bitcoin’s 17% plunge, and a collective gasp from even the most jaded traders.
