Bitcoin is often referred to as „digital gold,” but the only metal anyone on Crypto Twitter is talking about today is tungsten. And not just any form of tungsten, but a cube of it.
Everyone from Bloomberg host Joe Weisenthal (aka @TheStalwart) to CoinShares CSO Meltem Demirors is opining today about tungsten, a 4-inch cube of which weighs over 40 pounds. (If that’s too heavy, you can get a 1.5-inch cube that weighs just over 2 pounds.)
Blame Nic Carter. The co-founder of Coin Metrics tweeted a picture yesterday of an Amazon page for the product, showing that there were only three 4-inch tungsten cubes remaining from supplier Midwest Tungsten Service Store—despite the $2,999 price tag.

„All the reviews are just like 'yep, it’s heavy. does what it says on the tin,'” he remarked.
According to the product reviews, customers enjoy lifting it, smashing things with it, and using it as a paperweight.
