Recently, physical Bitcoin bars and gold bars have been making notable moves in their respective markets. A Casascius bar owner has shifted his Bitcoin from physical to digital wallet after 13 years. Meanwhile, in the gold market, global demand for gold bars and coins increased in Q1, although US demand has declined. Notably, a physical Bitcoin bar acquired 13 years ago has been sold for an impressive sum.
Cryptocurrencies are expanding their presence in the beer bar industry, as a crypto enthusiast is purchasing Lower Haight beer bar and planning to launch a coin associated with the brand. However, this move has raised questions, especially as it involves a 'ToronadoCash' coin. Further developments in this field include rap artist Drake boosting cryptocurrency's mainstream recognition by mentioning Bitcoin in a new track and a series of new arcade bars opening around the U.S with coin-operated games. President Donald Trump has also been reported to be using Bitcoin for payments in a New York City bar.
Elsewhere, a proposal has been made to bar the president from dealing with crypto via the COIN Act. In other news, a variety of coin-op amusement bars are opening in the US, from the Philippines to Arkansas. On a rarer note, valuable, historical coins have been discovered recently, such as a 2,100-year-old hoard in the Jordan Valley and a rare coin engraved with the name 'Eleazar the Priest' found in the Judean Desert.
Finally, Perth Mint reported an increase in Bullion Demand this February, following a decline in January, and Trump has made history again by buying hamburgers with Bitcoin.
