"Collectible" BTC?

Many things are counterintuitively valuable.

I think BTC from very old wallets might be worth much more than those that have moved around a lot.

One reason might simply be that they have never been involved in a crime.

But it also seems like 100 years from now, BTC that were mined and left in an address all that time might turn out to be extremely valuable.

In fact, any BTC that you start holding now might end up being collectible.

Certainly the argument that this is impossible is not compelling and some of the most valuable things started out as worthless (10 cent Action Comics number 1...) and it is paradoxically because few people held onto them and kept them pristine that those that are in good shape are worth a lot.

I note that old Nat Geos are not valuable because everyone saved them.

I do not think very many people worry about keeping BTC at the same address.

But is it not true that a Cascius coin with BTC is worth much, much more than the BTC value? I think this is related.

I only recently found out that US currency with "interesting" serial numbers are valuable.

Summary: Maybe BTC at long dormant addresses will be much more valuable than BTC at newer addresses. The buyer may not buy it as a collectible (concerned only that it is not on someone's "blacklist") or perhaps the BTC from a dormant address once moved to a new address retain some value just because of the history.
