These BitSoaps were born from a fascination for the rising internet currency -- a type of cash in which the creators of these cleansers have a keen interest. The familiar bitcoin symbol has been imprinted into each [sudsy bar of soap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curie-body-wash-bars), complete with the binary border of 0s and 1s. They cost exactly $4.42 US and offer the purchaser several weeks worth of squeaky clean skin. Handmade by a young couple in Southern California, the BitSoaps are currently available in [four different fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-peachy-soap-bar). One is afforded the option of the gray Litecoin Castile, the pink Lavender Hemp, the green Lemongrass and Grapefruit Hemp Oil and golden plain Hemp Oil. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Mimicry Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore creating products inspired by popular trends to tap into consumer demand for familiarity and novelty. - **Cryptocurrency-inspired Merchandise:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop unique products that incorporate cryptocurrency symbols or concepts to cater to the growing interest in digital currencies. - **Handmade Personal Care:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine handmade craftsmanship with personal care items to offer consumers a niche product that focuses on quality and uniqueness. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Rethink traditional consumer goods by infusing them with elements of popular trends, such as mimicking digital currencies, to attract modern consumers. - **Cryptocurrency:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expand the cryptocurrency industry by creating merchandise that appeals to both cryptocurrency enthusiasts and the general public. - **Handmade Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize craftsmanship and personalization to disrupt the personal care industry and offer consumers unique, high-quality products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Food-Based Body Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edible-soap.md) - [Gamer-Approved Soap Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-x-minecraft.md) - [Nostalgic Superhero-Inspired Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowabunga-cleanse.md) - [Digital Currency Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crypto.md) - [Festive Moldable Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bath-body-works-shapeable-soap.md) - [Game-Inspired Hygiene Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minecraft-diamond-scrub.md) - [Game-Inspired Soap Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gameinspired-soap-collection.md) - [Opulent Scented Bar Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celine-soap.md) - [Cartoon Anniversary Soap Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nautical-nonsense.md)
