People will pay for bespoke "vanity" addresses (this can be done securely or insecurely, the latter being a way of scamming people...), but those are not tied to any specific bitcoins.
Another thing I've seen is mined blocks of bitcoin being sold at a premium - the miner (or pool) will take your address and mine a block to it.
- avian 9y ago> mined blocks of bitcoin being sold at a premium Is this purely for sentimental reasons (“freshly mined bitcoins”) or are there any practical uses for that? I can imagine coins with no history on the blockchain can be useful somehow.
- whatshisface 9y ago>coins with no history on the blockchain I imagine that you would do this as a step in a money laundering scheme.
