Topic: Bitcoin can be a gift for some persons - page 2. (Read 407 times)
Well, at the end of this year, there are two sequence special moments to do, they are Christmas and also New Year. So far, I never give BTC as gift for my beloved family because most of them don't exactly know about crypto i lrefer to give them a gift in a form of something or in fiat only. But the idea of using BTC as a gift is actually very interesting. Maybe for a kind of voucher.
This is the season of gifts. As described in the OP, gifts in the form of bitcoin and something related to cryptocurrency will initiate the interest among non-crypto people. Since pandemic the people who have been involved with cryptocurrency have increased. This is the result of real growth and more countries are with the plans of regulating cryptocurrency. Some have already developed infrastructure for the same and were under testing.
Maybe during the next Christmas season we can see a lot of gifting service providers with innovative gifts that resemble/associate with cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin can be a great gift for everyone because of its very high value but i chose not to offer it as a gift. I would rather give fiat than bitcoin because i won't easily give my hard earned bitcoins because i know it will be even more valuable if i can manage it the right way.Maybe during the next Christmas season we can see a lot of gifting service providers with innovative gifts that resemble/associate with cryptocurrencies.
And there's no way i can give bitcoin as a gift as more people will know that i am into hodling bitcoin which will put myself into danger.

The year is coming to an end. This season in the year it is the time of love which we express to our love ones, family and friends celebrating life from the beginning of the year till this time. Celebrating this season is usually done by gifting , we may decide to gift our family and friends some bitcoin for this will serve so many purposes like the introduction of bitcoin to some persons who have been aiming to get bitcoin and it can also be an investing opportunity to some, which they may invest for sometime to gain more profits.
I am one of those who made this path , have sent small amount of bitcoin to my brother and my bestfriend but i never told them and wanted them to be surprised when they check their wallets.and yes i have received a Thankful or appreciation message Christmas Eve as they have find out that i fill up their wallets with bitcoin.
and in return? they send me altcoins hahaha, but of course i am thankful as it is a generosity in our circle .
I got bitcoin from my friend some days ago, I will hodl the bitcoin for some time. I can't sell it because the amount is not much. If I hodl it am sure I can get something from it.
I would so love to do that, but if and only if, those loved ones that I am planning to gift with Bitcoin do want it. Yes, this may be a way of intruding crypto to them, but without the interest and willingness to learn about it, I think that gifting Bitcoin with be just sold or exchanged, hence it will not serve its purpose to them. So, before doing that, I would identify first who among my loved ones want it.
many people are now starting to learn about bitcoin because investing in bitcoin has become the center of attention of many people, especially people who have a lot of capital and cannot manage finances more effectively. it turns out that bitcoin is a good target and investment for the future.

Great idea, but only a few of my close friends know what is bitcoin. Not everyone knows bitcoin because I still live in the village. Maybe it's possible to introduce about bitcoin, but I don't think they will linger for long, maybe they choose to find out how to sell it and make money.
Yes, it seems that it is still difficult to introduce bitcoin to the people around me. Maybe if it's better I'll give it to my wife. Even though I don't have a lot of bitcoins at least a small part of it will be useful someday.

Wow, what a coincidence you asked this at the right time. On December 16th it was my cousin's brother's 19th birthday, and I gave him $190 worth of Bitcoin. I didn't give him directly and I didn't ask him for any address. I just made a separate trust wallet and loaded $190 worth of bitcoin, then I wrote the seed phrase on a gift card, then I gave it as a birthday gift card. But I tell him there is a secret. If you find the secret, then there is a surprise for you. The thing is, though he knows I am working on crypto and di teaching him a little bit, he understood that the seed phrase was input and saw the amount. And he gives the craziest looks. That was an epic moment for me. I am totally happy with it.

If they are not familiar with BTC, you are better to let them know Bitcoin first before deciding to give them BTC gifts, plus give them some lessons. You cannot give them BTC if they have no BTC wallets, right? It also will be useless if they don't know how to use it. First, they must have their own BTC wallets. Then, they need to know if BTC price isn't stable, it is very volatile. So, they are not surprised once the value changes. Don't forget to explain how to exchange BTC and where they can do it. Also, you need to remind them that BTC isn't only about profits, but it has some risks once it is used for investment purposes. The rest, they can learn themselves.The year is coming to an end.

Yes for some satoshis but i doubt that everybody or most people would do this considering that bitcoin is valuable the they wouldnt tend to waste of their bitcoins that they had been holding for years which i do rather believe that they would really be just telling them about bitcoins info without needing on giving them but its good if someone would really consider on taking such
step but on my side i would tend to waste off my money just for this one.
Telling them about hints or basic info would or should be enough imho.
Although it might be unwise to just give somebody some Bitcoin without ever giving him/her a little of the basics and some do's and don'ts about keeping private keys very personal and all that.
But giving somebody a Bitcoin-related present is much more interesting to me. There are some Bitcoin collectibles out there, physical ones both loaded and unloaded, could be made of precious metals or not. There are a lot of choices out there as a gift and a way to introduce Bitcoin to somebody during this holiday season.

great idea a basic physical gift that represents bitcoin. such as clothes, jackets, and much more
and hopefully , they can and want to know more about what bitcoin is and how to get it the next day .
give bitcoin as a gift in christmas this year?
I think it takes an introduction process first for beginners who don't know in my family and no one even knows what bitcoin is in my family, it's only me who knows
so for this year I still give gifts as usual to my brother

No amount is too small. I wouldn't mind if am been given a small amount of bitcoin(lols). A small amount of bitcoin given today would turn out to be gold tomorrow. This is the festive season, give your loved one some bitcoin, it will go a long way.
It must not matter whether he knows about bitcoin or not. Just tell him or her that you are giving out bitcoin as a Christmas gift. He should keep it safe

yeah, I'd rather educate them and point them in the right direction, then just give them some money. But that knowlage is a far more deeper hole, it should start with general financial knowlage and money handling, because without that, I might as well throw money out the window.
Exactly what I thought, if you want to give a gift to someone, you should know what they want or what would they do if they have Bitcoin because Bitcoin nowadays is too valuable especially in the future. If you want to educate someone make sure it won't go to waste because not everyone is worthy to teach so you should test the water first if someone is willing to learn some knowledge that you are about to share with them.For me, why send Bitcoin if they don't know about it? It would be a hassle to spoon feed someone and at the end it turns out they lost it or they just sell it even if the price is cheap, which means that they really need a money and not an investment.
Yes this is something I do for some of my family who are also involved with Bitcoin.
I started last Christmas and will do the same this year but added to this year I have
a Nephew who has ben interested since the summer and I have a Trezor wallet for
him for Christmas. When he gets it activated all the other family members who are into
Bitcoin will send some Saoshi's to an address from his Trezor!
So its a big adventure starting up a hardware wallet including the hands on experience
of generating and storing the seed and passwords.

Yeah. As SFR10 already wrote today, together with your gift, it is advisable to present the knowledge of how to keep your "gift" in the future.
Otherwise, the opposite may happen, and the gift will simply remain virtual forever if the owner suddenly loses the keys and everything related to storing bitcoin.
Last year I asked my friends if they would like to have some bitcoins as a gift, but since my acquaintances are far from cryptocurrencies, they honestly admitted that they would prefer something that can be touched with their hands.
Therefore, Bitcoin will be valuable for someone who understands what it is.
This is true. For them, receiving bitcoin is like receiving nothing unless that person received both bitcoin and knowledge and also about cryptocurrency related topics like blockchain, wallet related, security related. So, it is entirely depends on the receiver. I would definitely agree in the post above. Otherwise, the opposite may happen, and the gift will simply remain virtual forever if the owner suddenly loses the keys and everything related to storing bitcoin.

Bitcoin will be very useful to anyone who knows it. I mean it's okay if you're willing to give recipient a little bit of information about what bitcoin is if they don't know it yet, it's a great start to introduce bitcoin to other people. I seem interested in gifting my wife bitcoin on her next birthday, but I doubt she will ever sell them. Lol
