Peak Bubble? 11 Crazy Bitcoin-Related Gifts You Can Buy Before the Crash
Admit it — at this point, either you have friends riding front row with their hands up on the bitcoin hype train, or you are that person. The price of Bitcoin surged over the last week and is now above $15,ooo, sparking outcry from traditional investment experts like Mark Cuban and analysts like Vanguard legend Jack Bogle, but widespread skepticism isn't stopping die-hard cryptocurrency nuts from buying into the market.
Since all rewards from Bitcoin remain in an intangible cloud, however, you may find yourself seeking a few real-life gifts for your beloved Bitcoin buff. If so, Money has done a little personal shopping for you. But be warned: Some of these objects may be just as ridiculous as the notion that cryptocurrency is actually a safe place to put your money.
