Item Description:
An ‘I Am GPIO’ Original – “In Case of Financial Collapse – Break Glass”

Important Notes / Disclaimer:
The USB stick is a real, working Bitcoin miner, but this is sold as a collectible art piece and historical artifact, not as a modern mining solution.
Performance is purely nostalgic by today’s standards – this is about history and humour, not hashrate.
Please do not actually break the glass (unless fiat truly has imploded and you’re feeling extremely dramatic). Broken glass is sharp and can cause injury.
