2018 Bitcoin-based shopping list

As we all know, the holiday the season is upon us, and although the altcoin industry is suffering a severe financial blow right now, many analysts believe that this may be the perfect time to spread a bit of cheer for the Bitcoin holidays (since most cryptographic coins are so cheap at the moment).

Also, since the market is so affordable to the common man at the moment, this may be the perfect time to give the bitcoiners and fellow HODlers of your life some encrypted gifts. So, without further ado, let's start with the list:

1. Bitcoin:

There is absolutely no doubt that one of the best gifts you can give someone this holiday the season is Bitcoin itself.

To make things even more special, you can consider giving the BTC to your friend with an Opendime stick. For those who do not know, Opendime is a single disposable bitcoin disposable hardware portfolio that works like a regular gift card (since it is preloaded with a certain amount of BTC).

Opendime is extremely secure due to the fact that the private keys generated inside the portfolio are never shown to anyone (not even the individual who is responsible for putting the money in the wallet). The recipient of the small stick can spend all the funds until the seal on the wallet is broken or the resources are moved out of the stick.

In terms of prices, a package of Opendime portfolios is available for a very reasonable sum of $ 40.

2. Wallets:

A hardware portfolio is an essential element for any cryptic enthusiast who has invested a fair amount of money in this thriving market. Today, there are a number of affordable options to choose from depending on your needs and requirements. For example, Trezor and Ledger are very popular today as they are designed to support a wide range of altcoin offerings.

From the price point of view, we can see that Ledger Blue and Ledger Nano S are available for $ 200 and $ 70 respectively. However, for a limited period of December, Ledger offers its customers Trezor One and Trezor Model T wallets high-end customers with highly discounted rates ($ 94 and $ 204 respectively).

3. Books related to Crypto:

Many experts have repeatedly suggested that one of the biggest problems affecting the cryptocurrency industry is a pure lack of investor knowledge. So, just for this purpose, you can try to make friends and relatives close with any of Andreas Antonopoulos's blockchain book titles. Andreas is a Bitcoin supporter and analyst who has written many perfect information texts for beginners and long-term krypton enthusiasts.

The book & # 39; Mastering Bitcoin & # 39; of Antonopoulos is available digitally for $ 16 (or $ 22 for the economic edition). Likewise, his other book "Internet of Money, Volume 1 & 2" is available for a very convenient sum of $ 6 (digital copy).

However, if Andreas's work seems too technical for your tastes, you can also look at Saifedean Ammous's "Bitcoin Standard" which was published at the start of 2018.

4. Lightning node:

Another great gift option this Christmas season could be a knot on the recently published Lightning Node Home Network. In its main essence, the aforementioned technology brings together a high level of compatibility with the user interface along with a series of enhanced security protocols (such as the management of private multisignature keys).

It is also worth mentioning that the Lightning House node is pre-synchronized with the Bitcoin blockchain and therefore does not need the owner to have any coding capability (to configure the system).

From a price point of view, we can see that a single node is available for a small sum of $ 300 on the Casa website.

5. Crypto Kaiju:

While CryptoKitties continues to fascinate bitcoin enthusiasts around the world, a toy company called CryptoKaiju has recently come up with new physical alternatives that illustrate and bring to life the beauty of CryptoKitties. The company offers its customers a line of vinyl toys, cryptographic theme, all equipped with its own ERC-721, non-fungible token.

The products are varied in terms of prices. There are collectibles available starting at $ 55 up to $ 200.

6. Merchandise:

The basics never fail. If you can not think of a single half-decent gift to present to your crypto-oriented friends, you can always stick to the basics and give them clothing related to bitcoins (t-shirts, hooded sweatshirts, sweaters) or some other small items like bracelets, bijouterie etc.

So go out there and spread a Christmas cheer !!! Happy holidays to all.
