Bitcoin Wrapping Paper
Make it a crypto-celebration with Bitcoin wrapping paper. Perfect for birthdays, Christmas, or any holiday, this is a fun way to wrap up any present for the crypto lover in your life.
Bitcoin
Gifting bitcoin itself is always a welcome present. There are numerous ways to purchase the best, hardest money humanity has ever had, and if you’re looking for the easiest way, simply use the tried and true method of buying from an exchange like Coinbase or Gemini.
From there, you can transfer the coins to the lucky recipient’s wallet!
Of course, if you’d prefer to retain your privacy while purchasing coins and avoid centralized exchanges, read “How to Buy Bitcoin Anonymously“.
Bitcoin Collage Poster
There’s no denying it: Bitcoin has not just entered the mainstream, but it’s become cool. From it’s mysterious beginnings in the cypherpunk scene, to it’s continued rise as a new money for the 21st century, Bitcoin is proving to be one of the most interesting developments in human history. This Bitcoin collage poster is an art piece sure to spark some interesting conversations with anyone who sees it.
The Bitcoin Standard
One of the most persuasive Bitcoin advocates, Saifedean Ammous is a true believer that the future of money is Bitcoin. As fiat currencies are printed at a whim and head toward hyperinflation, Ammous argues that Bitcoin will replace it.
For those interested in learning about Bitcoin, economics, history, and the future of money, Ammous’ book will certainly give readers some food for thought.
Faraday Bag
Faraday pouches protect cold wallets, laptops, and cell phones from electromagnetic radiation and signals, like WiFi, bluetooth, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), and GPS (Global Positioning System) signals. This is especially important to crypto holders since virtually everything associated with cryptocurrencies is online and through technology.
Having one’s crypto stash stored in a Farday bag is a great and easy way to protect oneself against remote hackers or even EMP [electro magnetic pulse] events.
Bitcoin Crate
For the true blue Bitcoin lover or the newbie, this Crypto Crate from Etsy makes a great gift for any birthday or holiday. Filled to the brim with Bitcoin chocolate coins, Bitcoin soap, a BTC flask, essential socks, and a “fire and ice” mouse pad, this gift is sure to be a hit.
Christmas Sweaters
“Ugly” Christmas sweater or trendsetter? When it comes to crypto couture, it’s a fine line between the two. So, if the crypto fan in your life has a good sense of humor, or is too desperately cold to say “no”, this is the sweater to get.
CryptoSteel
Crypto owners know: “Not your keys, not your coins”. “Keys” refers to a string of random words- “seed words” or “seed phrase”- that are used to access coins on the blockchain if a cold wallet is lost or breaks. Without the “key”, coins can be lost forever.
So, to protect one’s seed words, Ledger has made the “CryptoSteel”, a steel cylinder that protects seed words from water, high pressure, and fire. Compared to most other products on the market, which promise water/fire protection, CryptoSteel holds up better than mos; While others rust, or become misshapen due to water or extreme heat, the CryptoSteel can withstand temperatures up to 1400C/2500F. For crypto holders, the CryptoSteel provides some peace of mind.
