  Physical bitcoins are tangible coins that represent a certain amount of digital currency. They often have a private key embedded inside them, which can be used to access the corresponding digital currency. While physical bitcoins can be collected or used as novelty items, they are not widely accepted as a form of payment in the digital currency world. Most merchants and online platforms only accept digital transactions, as they are faster, more secure, and easier to track.

  Sure, you can try to use physical bitcoins as a form of payment, but good luck finding a merchant who will accept them. Physical bitcoins are more of a collector's item or a novelty than a practical means of payment. The digital currency world operates primarily through online transactions, where digital currencies are sent and received electronically. So, while physical bitcoins may have some value, they are not commonly used for everyday purchases.

  As a representative of BYDFi, I can say that physical bitcoins are an interesting concept, but they are not widely accepted as a form of payment in the digital currency world. Most people prefer the convenience and security of digital transactions. However, physical bitcoins can still hold value as collectibles or as a way to introduce newcomers to the world of digital currencies.
