Bitcoin Keychains by Bkeychain
You’ve seen these keychains on dozens and dozens of websites, it’s about time you had one of your own! These substantial metal keychains make great conversation starters, and they also make great gifts to or from Bitcoiners. You can find a list of online retailers at Bkeychain.com, and several support Bitcoin so much, they don’t even accept fiat currency. So what are you waiting for?
