Cryptonews has compiled a 2024 holiday gift guide that has the perfect last-minute present ideas. These gifts are sure to bring cheer to crypto enthusiasts everywhere.
From a Bitcoin miner that also acts as a home heater, to a blockchain-based smart ring, the list below will help ensure that crypto lovers get exactly what they want this holiday season. 1. A Heater/Air Purifier That Mines Bitcoin
While most in-home miners function as small desktop devices, Bitcoin mining company Heatbit recently released a plug-and-play Bitcoin-powered home heating device. Known as the “Heatbit Trio,” this miner is specifically designed for household use and resembles a portable heater.

A Heatbit spokesperson told Cryptonews that once the product is plugged in, the power used to mine Bitcoin is also turned into heat.
“So there is no wasted energy. You get two birds with one stone – Heat and Bitcoin rewards,” the Spokesperson said. 
The Heatbit Trio also features an air purification function that rids the air of dust, pet dander, and pathogens. The Spokesperson explained that the air filtration is used for the mining electronics inside the device as well. 
“These are high tech 5nm ASIC chips. They are obviously not as cheap as a typical resistive heating coil like most space heaters – so the filters do an excellent job protecting the sensitive internal components from debris that could reduce performance or damage them over time.” 
The Heatbit Trio is sure to be a hit with Bitcoin enthusiasts, as users can contribute to the Bitcoin network from home without the technical know-how. The Spokesperson told Cryptonews that every 10 minutes, a block is mined. 
“If you decide to solo mine, Heatbit gives you a shot at the 3.125 BTC jackpot with each of these new blocks. All while keeping your home cozy and your air purified. If you decide to mine with a pool, Heatbit makes can subsidize 50% of your heating costs.”Source: Heatbit
The Heatbit Trio retails for $899 and can be purchased . The device will arrive after the holidays, but it’s likely worth the wait. 2. A Smart-Ring Built on Solana 
Fitness and health tracking rings are sure to be popular gifts this holiday, which is why a new smart-ring built on the Solana blockchain is a present crypto enthusiasts will love.
