Cryptocurrency Ugly Sweaters Are Already Worth Double What You Paid for Them

One of the biggest buzzwords in finance and investing these days is “cryptocurrency.” These tiny packets of computer-signed, highly-secure, and highly-elusive data represent value, and are trading at ever more insane rates of exchange due to their rarity. Think of it as a modern-day gold rush, with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin surging to more than 17 times where it was 12 months ago. Of course, its value could drop just as rapidly as it increases, and the process of selling and trading can take days, so it’s a risky game to play with money you can’t afford to lose. That said, these cryptocurrency sweaters shouldn’t have the same type of insane valuation shifts.

The guys at HODLMOON are making a series of ugly holiday sweaters, inspired by well known cryptocurrencies, and they’re actually pretty awesome. They’re showing off their knit sweaters in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin designs, as well as some of the lesser-known monetary units like Monero, Neo, and Polymath.

They’re available in sizes Small through 3XL, and made from 100% acrylic. Best of all, they’re just $59.99 each, which is like 0.003509 of a Bitcoin at today’s exchange rate. So how can you afford not to buy one?!?!?
