5 Bitcoin Ideas for Dad on Father’s Day

Father’s Day is a worldwide celebration of the contribution made by fathers and father figures in the lives of their children. It’s a day symbolizing the importance of fatherhood and male parenting. Although the dates that it is recognized worldwide vary, many countries observe it on the third Sunday in June.

With the day rapidly approaching many of us sons and daughters may be wondering how to honor Dad with a cool gift. This year, why not celebrate Father’s Day by taking advantage of all of the buying opportunities out there through the use of bitcoin?

According to the National Retail Federation, consumers spend 66% less money on Father’s Day gift compared to that spent for Mom on Mother’s Day. And, yes of course, the excuse is that Dad’s can be a thorn in the side to purchase things for.

But to make things easier this year, at least for those of you who are bitcoin enthusiasts, we’ve discovered five online portals where you can purchase some neat things for Dad with BTC.

If your  falls into this camp, both literally and figuratively then the Survival Camping Store just may be your saving grace. This company has a wide selection of items for both extreme outfitters that crave  mountaineering, climbing and watersports to those who prefer more sedate endeavors like fishing and camping.

Cigars

Precious Metals

Mining for something a little out of the box for Dad? Then how about Gold, Silver, Platinum, and/or Copper coins and bars. JM Bullion is arguably the most highly recognized online retailer in this space that accepts bitcoin. Those who make purchases in BTC receive a 4% discount.

And then there’s actual bitcoin…

If you haven’t already, why not introduce your dad to bitcoin with physical bitcoin – something he can hold in his hand? Among the options out there is Denarium, a company that produces physical brass coins that can hold various amounts of bitcoin. Once you present him with a coin, you could even help him set up a simple wallet and transfer some of his new satoshis into it.
