Topic: Bitcoin My Best Chrismas Gift (Read 634 times)

Bro, or maybe you need to withdraw a profit and buy yourself a gift that you refused on the eve of the Christmas? In this case, this small purchase will be remind you of your successful trading and encourage you to further invest in cryptocurrency.

Nice one mate, very commendable role of action but, In all, once in a while we need to gift ourselves with material things too, it goes a long way to appreciate ourselves for the good work done over the year.

Don't get me wrong, your gifting isn't bad but don't make everything be about money, let looking good also be your priority.
Selah!

Yeah I am happy to see my money appreciating gradually and don't have intention to lose them soon, Bitcoin is a great future assets and at that I take every opportunities I have to accumulate more and more no matter how small it amount may be at a time.

This practice have helped me to grow my asset portfolio massively within the short time I spent on that, and at the market recover in January I already have a good profits return on them right now,  and when I have more money to spear for a long term I will buy more.

By investing money to improve your financial situation rather than using it to buy ineffective products, you made a wise choice. Although having a beautiful appearance is important, investing money should always come first in life. You can give yourself the best Christmas present ever with this. The reason your friends opt to purchase clothing and footwear is because they are unable to manage the risk associated with bitcoin. However, over time, as your investment grows profitable, it may encourage them to learn more about bitcoin and to comprehend its risks.

Those expensive things are just a waste of money if you have still one to use, some people want to spend their money on the things they can use and flex but in the end, its just a lose to their budget, well if you are a rich person this is just nothing for you, bitcoin is the best gift ever you can do in yourself because there's a chance to have a good profit return on your side sooner or later if you make a good ATH you can buy those things more than they can afford, its a good move for your future investment.

Choosing Bitcoin as a Christmas gift is the best gift you can give yourself. Bitcoin is cheap right now, buying it will increase in value in the future, and pay off in the long run when the price rises.

I myself wouldn't like to be saving junks that wouldn't make sense or doesn't have any use for me like some other people that has an excessive impulse to buy things because they think it's cool but it's not useful enough for their daily lives. Spending your money wisely or investing it on Bitcoin is rather a better option if you have had an extra cash.

And just like I said, spend your money when you need it but not spending it on something that doesn't have a value in the long run or a junk/waste of money. It's okay to spend on something that you like for once but don't make it a habit if you want to earn more for investment.

Op bought Bitcoin as a Christmas present for himself, not for anyone else he loves. Op decision was right, he entered when the price was down. You can follow in Op's footsteps by gifting Bitcoins to people you love. It may sound strange to people who don't know Bitcoin, you can introduce Bitcoin to them in your own way.

You are different where everyone else approaches the market. You are having a dream about Bitcoin while others are busy with their festivities. Those who have fulfilled their wishes with large amounts while you are waiting for that golden day of redemption and your wealth is still there and slightly increased if you have not sold yet. You protect your wealth and leave it to grow. Consequently you are naturally far ahead of those friends financially. Bitcoin may multiply from the position you buy and your wealth will definitely increase. People move forward and backward by intelligence. In that respect you are at a unique height.

You have your own decisions to decide if what is your Christmas gift for yourself but as I think that it's okay to do or to buy a Bitcoin as we all know that the price are too low and someday you will get a profit on it and also OP you are right even though good looking cloths, pants and others useful things you' our self are one of our needs but still after a year of using, it will fade and lost.  after receiving a bonus then it's a good decisions to buy bitcoins.

If you can't spend your savings on your own pleasure, it's nothing but stupidity. If you have other money to invest in Bitcoin then it is best to invest in Bitcoin with that money. And it is never possible to lose money by investing in bitcoins. Nowadays, many things can be done through virtual media.  Spend your life if you want and enjoy the good things in life.  You can get good things in the future if you dabble in bitcoin and hold on to bitcoin investment for a long time.

Holiday seasons are just seasons that comes a few days or weeks every year. While your wise decision of using the money you should allocate for the holidays and gifts converted into investment money such as bitcoin is a better idea.

You can have better holidays without even too spendthrift.

We've been into different crises and one has to be wiser around because we don't know what else may happen by tomorrow.

Great mentality. Who cares if people use expensive gadgets and wear expensive outfits. Due to the high prices of the brands they use, they may be catchy and looked impressive in public. However, that is all. You cannot make money from people who just stare at you for a few seconds because of your branded apparels.

Even in the current economic climate. I always believe that the money I can use will be multiplied in the coming years if I simply invest it in bitcoin, I frequently disregard repairs that are not very important at the moment.

People tend to buy all sorts of unnecessary junk under the influence of marketing campaigns. If you restrain your impulses for extra purchases, then this will save some money, which is more efficiently spent on investing in bitcoin. Of course, no one likes to limit themselves and deprive them of some material wealth. Therefore, it is necessary to balance between excessive frugality and excessive wastefulness. Personally, I would prefer to have less junk, which is possible and will be needed and useful in the future. With btc, can always buy it,even in excess, if you hold longer and wait for a good increase. The idea of giving yourself a gift for the new year in the form of bitcoin is close to me, but you can go further and make such a gift for any significant holiday. And in general, even without a reason. Just for your future.

That's a very special gift given to your love one, na matter how small in fraction to the dollar amount it may be, while holding for a certain period of time for the price of the Bitcoin to raise beyond imagination as a result of difference session to sell.

Good initiative though if you really need some things don't just deprive yourself from it because you might suffer too much at the end. But for those things that you really don't need but just wants you can just slash them out to your bucket list and proceed to invest more on Bitcoin instead since it's the bear market this time. You will never know when you will need it and also don't sell if it's too low to what price you bought it. Make sure to make a list of prices when you are buying to make sure you aren't selling cheap.

Ops I guess at the price you bought Bitcoin as a Christmass gift to now tho may have accumulated some profits to your portfolio and while your money is now generating more money for you, your friend's clothes are getting devalued.
That is the difference between you and your friends.

OP, you have your head screwed on. You are a smart guy & I salute you. Clothes, shoes & other pretentious items almost certainly will decrease in value but you’ve done something very smart. Planning for your future by investing in bitcoin is a smart move. If you can continue to add more bitcoin & continue buying over many years you will be in a great position later in life.

Stay humble & stack sats, that is the way to a good life.

You should not have agreed to go shopping with them in the first place since you know you were not sure of it, changing your mind in the last moment without telling them your reasons is not good, If I were your friends, I will not be happy at this your last-minute change in decision. Buying bitcoins is good, but also occasionally buying yourself some good gifts in form of good-looking clothes and looking good is also good business, you deserve it from all year long. In case of next time, you can let your friends know that you intend purchasing bitcoins so that any of them may join you. You will be happier if you were able to convince your friends to get bitcoins also like you did.

Well, that's a good choice, because I did exactly the same. With the money that I received as a bonus for the New Year holidays, I bought bitcoin. This is not new for me, because for almost the whole year I bought bitcoin for bonuses and earnings for overtime. I really hope that my dedication will pay off in the future.

I bought traditional gifts for my family, because I'm not sure if they are able to appreciate such a gift as bitcoin. Therefore, the best gift I made, of course, was for myself. 

In fact, you also need to pamper yourself with good clothes, or sneakers that you have long wanted. It is very important to maintain a comfortable standard of living, then investing will never become a tedious task.

Your friends live for today, they want to spend the money they earned for a comfortable life today, while you expect to use your investments in the future. Which of you will eventually be right, we will find out in the coming years. But the fact that you have chosen bitcoin for such an investment is definitely the right choice.

now crypto is quite a good gift and not only Bitcoin but also other top coins like ETH, LTC, ADA and others. imagine that in a few years your $10-$20 gift could be valued at $500-$1000.

such gifts will be good for children. so they will have an incentive to know more about cryptos.

A gift that is quite appropriate even though you have to buy yourself OP, it means you understand the long term gift you have, because not everyone is able and willing to do that, my question is do you buy bitcoin in the market you visit, this part is just a joke to say new year to you, so don't take it too seriously.

Some people prefer to buy things that aren't specifically a necessity, meaning they just want to be seen using fancy, expensive products, because I know they've had those things before and it's not an urgent need to buy anytime soon.

Therein lies your intelligence in choosing to buy bitcoin as an asset in the future, while they are trying to buy some goods that in a certain year you can buy much more from them, when the value of the investment you have in bitcoin will reach the maximum return stage, personally i appreciate what you did OP.

And I'm sure you know bitcoins are much more specific than your friends, because bitcoins will be very useful for long term storage, while some things your friends buy will expire and won't work once they are obsolete. Meanwhile, in the long term, the placement of money that you make will increase from the initial capital that you are trying to invest.

Placement of money that we have is much more useful, when we can see the potential needs in the future, because owning bitcoin is a choice in maintaining the value of the currency that we have.

I think you've given yourself the best Christmas present, and I think you have a great idea for people who spend a lot of money on things without considering what they will get in return. For example, some people might believe that buying themselves something expensive for Christmas is the best way to celebrate the holiday, but that is a bad idea because after Christmas, the pricey items might stop working for you, whereas the bitcoin you purchase will make you the happiest person among them because you are the one that knows the value of bitcoin you bought for yourself.

On the contrary, I'm starting to think that Bitcoin might be the perfect present! Let's be real, most of us have received our fair share of socks and gift cards. Bitcoin is a gift that will never go out of style. It's a timeless investment that has the potential to appreciate in value over time. It is something different and unexpected, which makes it a great conversation starter. Giving someone Bitcoin can also be a great opportunity to teach them about the world of cryptocurrency.

I often give a certain amount of money to celebrate special days, including Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. But I don't know why I have to reward bitcoin for them. I mean, bitcoin is money and it seems like 8/10 people who receive bitcoin as a gift will sell it the same day or the next day because they need the money.

I tend to think of fiat, it's more perfect for those who need money instead of giving them a certain amount of bitcoin. However, someone including OP can give anything he wants to someone on any special days and celebrations. This is normal and nothing special to me. But it's up to the OP and others if they like it.

Everyone certainly wants something special on a special day. There are many items that they deliberately buy waiting for that moment because of their specialty. So this will depend on each individual.

However, your decision to use the money to buy Bitcoin instead of certain items, in my opinion, is a cool and wise decision. At least this will provide more benefits later and provide benefits from this investment.
Regardless of the amount, if you are able to set aside some free money for Bitcoin, why not? This will be more valuable and profitable, right?

In as much as I will congratulate you on your bitcoin purchase and haven't read previously about how you have been consistent in your bitcoin purchase, I will like to ask a few questions which if answered by you ops will lead to a more broader discussion.
: First which wallet are you using to store your bitcoin?
: how do you intend to convince your colleagues since you all made a decision to get new stuff but you hard a sudden change of mind and opted to spend your own bonus on Bitcoin?
But from a general perspective, you have done the right thing by saving your money on an asset of great potential like Bitcoin.

You made a great decision by investing money to become more financial better than in spending in it materials that won't bring much values. It is good to look good but it is more better to invest money as the first consideration in life. It is the best gift for Christmas you have giving to yourself. The reason your friends choose to buy cloths and shoes is because they can't be able to manage the risk involved in bitcoin but with time when your investment gets profit it can be a reason for them to learn about bitcoin and to understand the risks that us in bitcoin.

Not many people see bitcoin investments as potential investments because of the high risk that is involved in bitcoin, and recent events and incidents have also contributed negatively to how forks perceive bitcoin investment.

But going with personal conviction I hard to take the decision before letting them know that I have used my bonus to buy Bitcoin since I knew, that they will try to advise against it.

But for me I am more comfortable when I have something to invest in most especially Bitcoin.

It's a good idea for you to gift yourself some bitcoin this Christmas season because we are in a bear market and once it's gets bullish you definitely gonna smile and if your friends where not interested in crypto at first they would definitely be then. Getting other gifts for Christmas is also not a bad idea is just an individual preference.

Did you tell your friends why you chose to buy bitcoin for yourself as a Christmas gift instead of buying other things in the supermarket as they did like the purchase of a pair of shoes or any other expensive item? They would be surprised by your action, I think.

It will be good to utilize the same approach to introduce them to bitcoin. Let them quit investing in things that won't bring them wealth in the future and start holding bitcoin instead. Don't keep your friends in the dark about the information and financial freedom that bitcoin gives without sharing the significance of bitcoin investing.

I dont know the point you did not get mate, and I will be repeating what i have already said if u decide to go over the whole messagjust to clarify you since you did not mention the area where you seems lost.

As for the money used un purchasing the bitcoin, as already stated i mentioed the money to be our holiday bonus from work and not my monthly salary, I hope this help clarify things a bit for your understanding.

That is a very wise decision; you have decided to use your yearly bonus to purchase Bitcoin at a very low price; I wish you a strong heart to hold the Bitcoin for a very long time; you will profit greatly.

This is a good time for people with sufficient capital to invest in Bitcoin; however, this does not mean that someone should borrow money for Bitcoin investment, nor should someone invest more than he or she can afford to lose.

Do you mean you decided to buy Bitcoin with your money maybe your physical salary when you are earning in Bitcoin every week? I don't really understand you a bit. Does it means you had not been selling your coins for long now and you have been saving it and then you decided to buy Bitcoin so you can have large holding of Bitcoin in your portfolio?
 If that you what you mean then I think that is a good move and having large holdings of Bitcoin could be a good investment now that the price is low and affordable. Accumulate it will give you more profits when the bull market finally comes with great liquidity.

I think every stages of life don't have to be overlooked or override because basically you would enjoy that very best moment of your life, thinking of investment as another important key aspect of life. I do love the way you think and being creative to remember you had something meaningful which would create additional income to your life while other keep living extravagant life although i can't just take it be that but they believe on how to always make additional income. When it comes of spending with colleague you should be very mindful and careful because you don't really know their plans or how rich they seems to be or even their parents rather than you following them to spend thinking you guys are in same shoes. Always spend wisely and carefully.

Is Christmas and santa is out to grant wishes, as for ommy colleagues and i, we all have nice outfits that are durable and fashionable.

But you know some forks like designer's jewellery and the Nikki shoes and the Gucci wears, these shits cost a lot and I can't risk having them while there will not be an increase in value, but with bitcoin.

I have been bullish on bitcoin since the bear market started since it may take a long time before we see Bitcoin price as low as the current price, so this is an opportunity to accumulate more.

You did the right thing. Let your friends and colleagues spend money on junk (do they really have nothing to wear and buying clothes and shoes is vital?), while you profitably invest in bitcoin. I think that bitcoin for Christmas is the best gift now (thanks to the tempting purchase price).

I hope Santa Clause listens to my wishes.

Neither you nor your colleagues made a wrong decision. This is just simply a case of scale of preference. And that is fine too. I am sure they weren't buying the so-called expensive clothes or shoes to impress you neither did you buy Bitcoin to impress them. You guys have worked hard for your money and should spend it the way that put smiles your faces. They didn't make the wrong decision. As the saying goes, live and let let live.

You took a very good step by investing on bitcoin instead of the using your money to buy things will not provide income to your life. That is your colleagues made a shopping of material things while you made a shopping of bitcoin. That is why people are saying that those who will really become rich or wealthy never influenced by colleagues, friends or neighbors. Christmas is a period people wear fancy things to flex, enjoy and merriment but you abandoned all those things and choice to invest. Time will come you colleagues Will see your progress with the investment.

I appreciate your decision. Happy Christmas

You have made the right decision because you prefer to invest in bitcoin rather than shopping for clothes, even though the amount you invest is not very large but at least bitcoin can provide x2, x3 or x5 returns in the future from the initial capital you invested, maybe only few people would be willing to invest with bonus funds because most of us would usually use the bonus funds to have fun with work relatives.

Op, you have done your best for the future. Your satisfaction in giving bitcoins as a gift for yourself is unthinkable to your friends and some users of this forum. You are one step ahead of your friends, holding off the desire for better results. You have missed it well, your patience will give satisfaction when you spend money to buy items that were delayed from the profits you made when selling Bitcoins.
Hope the best for you.

I think the OP shouldn't be restricted from thinking of gifts with numerical value in any celebration, there are several momentum value gift options that won't get worn out if the OP finds them too valuable to pay for.
I also don't understand why bitcoin prizes have to be made special gifts for ourself as long as it can be obtained on many occasions other than celebration days, especially since buying bitcoins is a routine thing (for signature of participants).

Great words. There is only one life, and you should always pamper yourself. We don't know what might happen to us tomorrow. Therefore, the eternal pursuit of money may, at some point, not bring joy. I am on the side of your friends. They are happy, and I think they feel cool, which means they were able to give themselves a holiday.
Time will tell what happens next. I wish OP a happy holiday too, but sometimes you need to be able to do this not for the future but to rejoice with everyone.
Merry Christmas!

That's probably better. If you don't really need to buy another shirt or a new pair of shoes, why would you, right? Perhaps it's better to just spend that money elsewhere. Bitcoin is indeed a good option. Not to mention that the price of Bitcoin is also like having a Christmas or holiday sale. It is cheaper this season.

By the way, are your friends/colleagues not aware of Bitcoin yet? Haven't you orange-pilled them yet? If you will, none of you might go shopping by next Christmas. LOL!

Money, Bitcoin,wealth, wants, necessity, needs ..... whatever, nothing, I repeat, NOTHING last forever. Even life itself is limited that at some point, we all have to rest from the strain, uhhhhh and the good tidings, legacies and everything is the only thing Left to remember us, DON'T BE INDECISIVE.
Christmas is a season of Joy,love, happiness, good tidings, blessings and, what have you? If it were necessary to get yourself something that could make you look good and happy, then you shoulda gotten that (since you're not gonna get them clothes, shoes and pants everyday, it's just a yearly stuff, as much as I could understand) you could get HODL 'em coin as much as you want when the time is right; you ain't gonna starve your ass just to HODL BTC,are you??
Doing alot, doesn't mean we're getting alot more done.

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

That's one of the best presents that you can give yourself. Soon, that patience and delayed gratification that you're experiencing right now will materialize and you'll be able to buy those fancy shirts and any gifts that you want from the profit that you'll make from having that bitcoin purchase.
It's a good idea that you reinvest the bonus that you've got, those material things are just there and you can buy them anytime that you want but the time and the chances that we've got right now, they come not often.

did your friends buy shoes and some clothes to wear on Christmas and New Year's Day and you all promised to do that together? I think your all friendship is quite strong. and it's your right to change your mind and not do the same with them.


I support your decision! if you still have clothes or shoes that you can wear, of course, it is useless if you spend your money to buy it all and your decision is very right (preferably investing in bitcoin rather than items that will be obsolete).

Op, you are one step ahead of your friends who buy nice shoes and things. Your decision to buy bitcoin is certainly a consideration for you. Bitcoin will be your long term investment. you can sell it at Christmas next year and it will likely be worth more than its current price. But are you spending all your money on bitcoins, a good suggestion for you is to set aside some of your cash to buy things you like? Remember that this Christmas is a happy Christmas for you. Invest in bitcoins and own things you love.

OP you have sacrificed part of your basic needs to buy bitcoin,this shows how important you care about your future, and how much you can sacrifice to have a digital asset like bitcoin that will surely make you happy soon. As for me I love looking good all the time,I would have still bought one or two wears and use the rest to purchase bitcoin since we cannot do without our basic needs.

Your friends have you explained to them why you didn't shop with them or have you given them bitcoin awareness ? If I were one of your friends I will want to know why the change of mind after we have all agreed to go on group shopping,and you didn't buy something physical that I can see. This is a wise decision that you came up with before spending the money.

Good decision mate, one shot two birds down. I mean, you buy Bitcoin as a Christmas present for yourself while investing in the future. You resist spending money on clothes and shoes that you may have wanted for a long time. Your belief will definitely give you multiple profits when Bitcoin returns to its highest price, at that time you can spend money to buy expensive clothes and shoes from the profits you get. Meanwhile, the initial capital remains safe and you can buy Bitcoin again when the price is what you want.

On second thought,  I think you have misunderstood me and if going by the last paragraph of you comment which I quote above.

I believe having financial freedom gives more joy and satisfaction than buying things you already have, and the possibility you never get value for your money buying them.

Bitcoin for me is a form of saving and since bitcoin is not an easily spendable currency which makes saving in Bitcoin is easier and more sustainable, especially for the long-term base.

Nice one to you bro. It will be also to see purchase or gift me bitcoin as Christmas gift  . Bitcoin is really changing the world and i think its better we all follow the moving train and not stay from afar and criticize what we dont know. Me myself am also gathering some tangible fund which am planning to make a bitcoin purchase by the start of the new year and am hoping to go for a long term investment as i learnt in the forum that is way more preferable.
 What you did is really good because understand that the a plan for a better future is wey better than spending some money on present enjoyment without any investment

you managed to use money wisely and I appreciate you as someone who can think ahead, not think only for now, such as buying clothes, shoes that are expensive to use only for now and have no value in the future. stuff like that will only be useless dirt in the next 5 years but you wisely choose to buy bitcoin which will obviously have a very expensive value in the future.
not many can think like you, because people's habits in life are just thinking about appearances without thinking about the future.
even though if we already have shoes and clothes etc. and can still be used, I don't think we need to buy new ones.


It's better to look normal but have a high-value future (bitcoin) than to look good but have no valuable future.

This is the best decision you have ever taken because i know those shoes are just what would like expire in less than 1 year or 2 years, trust me or not within the period of 2 to 3 years when you would be enjoying your profits those your friends would definitely calls you a bad name because you didn't advise them to do as same you did.

Goodluck and Merry Christmas, Wishing you all a prosperous new year ahead.

Nothing wrong with it.
There are some people who really are thinking about their future all the time and there are people who are thinking of the material things only.

For me, there is nothing wrong if you will buy material things but better to balance the 2. I mean you can buy some material things that you need but at the same time, you will still keep some money in order for you to buy Bitcoins or any investments out there.

Overall, I hope that you bought something important for yourself aside from Bitcoin like material things that you need, or you gave presents to other people because they always say that "sharing is caring".

You took the right step since it placed a smile on your face, that's what matters. Loving to invest is also great, it's a sign that you'll make a better manager. However, it would have been funnier if you got the bitcoin from the store or mall other than buying no single gift from there.  You can maintain this attitude even after the Christmas season and given time the little sats you're gathering will amount to some huge amounts. Like the Reply above that says; don't forget to enjoy this transient life while pursuing your bitcoin investment.

Well done OP. I am proud of you, I prefer people that are futuristic rather than being too focused on the present. It is all about being happy anyways. But of course, sometimes you should also reward yourself with something uncommon like a little more pricey than your regular attires. We can still be happy without wearing very expensive stuffs. This post reminded me that I haven't bought a present for myself this Christmas yet. I already purchased a small amount of bitcoin earlier this month so it won't count and it is also part of my monthly DCA on bitcoin.

When your friends buy what they want, you buy what you need. The choice of Bitcoin as a Christmas gift is very appropriate, you have not only made yourself happy in a different way but you have spent money in the right places. Celebrating Christmas while investing is really a brilliant idea, not many have ideas like you, make yourself happy by managing your finances well.

Life is short, years of youth are even shorter, so it's important to enjoy it all why you can. The point of life is not hoarding Bitcoin or some other asset, but living life to its fullest. Besides, Bitcoin isn't a money printing machine. There's no guarantee that it will keep going up. Worst case scenario is you deny yourself things that can improve your life and then lose money on top of that.

To become rich you don't only need to invest and cut spendings, but also earn more money through work.

Congratulations to you for getting yourself a Christmas gift.
But I do not think that there is any problem with someone buying Christmas clothes. Some people buy bitcoin in order to have money to buy clothes. So, it is not a wrong  idea for them to buy clothes, buy cars etc.
Everything will still worn out one day...

We live in the era of consumerism where we voraciously consume products as if there were no tomorrow.

Ok to buy clothes (you can't go around like homeless or rather not always ) but rather than buying a fashionable item destined to be used and become outdated, it is always a smarter gesture to buy bitcoin, just because bitcoin is here to stay!

I have corrected the part that mentioned digital gold in the statement, and that is a bad word to use since bitcoin can't be compared to gold but as a newbie, I was exposed to such words.

Referring to bitcoin as digital gold, not until this moment that you both corrected me on that.

Now I know Bitcoin and gold can't be compared since Bitcoin has a max supply but gold has unlimited.

A wise decision by you because the expense on bitcoin would give you long term return and fun to buy those expensive shoes and other items your colleagues has bought when you will be in profitable situation.But this would be possible only if you are long term holder and have patience to hold it for next few years.I have also made a similar decision in past where I DCA investment in bitcoin rather then spending on junk food items and have accumulated some sats through it and still holding them so it will eventually pay off in future.

I am not saying we should not spend on all those items and wholly invest in bitcoin only but if you have such plans it's good and if not we can enjoy the both with our fund management and some going towards bitcoin investment and rest on gifts.But you have made a really well choice so hope next year Santa comes with lot of bitcoin pumps.

That's the part where I was not happy on comparison with gold as people don't understand they don't have nothing in common and this term is inappropriate.If they see gold is still in abundance and also centrally controlled in way by the government with almost no return in past ten years while bitcoin on the other hand has limited supply and completely decentralised with good returns in the long term period for the holder but if still we compare them both and equate them on same level we are wrong.Bitcoin is far superior then it in almost all aspects.

Congrats to you and a merry Christmas but the truth be told that most of us really worship Bitcoin and make it seems that people doing something else outside Bitcoin are wasting their time and that life without Bitcoin isn't life but I've seen people prosperii so well without a single knowledge of Bitcoin.
I guess we fail to understand that we're all making savings so as to be saved by our savings someday and that's the major concept behind investment and savings.
You failed on you guys agreement but you gained a smile for the future and it's not bad getting something new to wear for the season.

If everyone thought like that, then most of those who produce something and those who sell it would have disappeared a long time ago. In this particular case, it might be wise not to invest in expensive clothes, but why not buy yourself something high-quality and functional that will last for many years, and then invest the rest of the money in Bitcoin?

In addition, the term "digital gold" is so wrong if you just start from the fact that Bitcoin has a maximum supply, and gold is something that has practically unlimited quantities.

If you are a materialize person then this isnt gonna justify it. But if you are someone who value money and wanted to make more money in the future then youll look for something that increases its value. The best one is the bitcoin and cryptocurrencies which could make your money double or 10x it.

Let me join others to congratulate you on your decision to buy more Bitcoin because ideally, you will get my discount in purchasing Bitcoin at the present price higher than any discount you may be offered on most items you will find in the shops this season.

You may try as much as possible to study the market more and know when to pull out with profits that will outweigh your present money value, that way you have real value and profits from your bitcoin purchase as a Christmas gift.

Every year, the chance to buy bitcoin at a lesser price than the previous year presents itself. Bitcoin is more affordable than it was last year when it cost $60k. OP has made a smart decision of going bitcoin shopping instead of the traditional Christmas shopping. Congratulations to you man. Merry Christmas

Were you by chance hoping to see “I gifted bitcoin to my friends this Christmas” type of thread? I’m sure those will soon start coming in Bitcoin discussion.

Ops you have done well for yourself by investing your money instead of spending it on items that can easily become a waste of money, but you should not forget that, you also need those items, such as shoes cloths and the rest but you can buy those things with your Bitcoin in the future from online stores that accept Bitcoin. Unless if Bitcoin is not legally accepted in your country.
Once again congratulations on your steady Bitcoin purchase.

It looks so amazing because after a full year working for a place you can feel the bonus to buy Bitcoin and shop where you like. Christmas celebrations at the end of the year for you will be a very good moment, whatever is spent now can also be used to celebrate the new year, which will arrive soon.

I don't think there's anything wrong with your colleagues either, because they buy expensive shoes and clothes to celebrate Christmas and maybe to celebrate the new year too. And don't they know about Bitcoin ? If they don't know about buying Bitcoin by the end of the year, it's only natural that they only want to buy shoes and clothes and so have no interest in buying Bitcoin like you do.

Actually there is a better idea if the number of bonuses you receive is more. You can set aside at least the amount of bonus money you receive to buy clothes and shoes also for Christmas and for the new year. And the rest you can buy Bitcoin with the remaining amount, so you can get new shoes, new clothes and Bitcoin at the end of this year which will make your Christmas and New Year more enjoyable because you can buy three different things at the end of the year. Even though buying Bitcoins while still wearing old worn clothes won't be any worse for yourself either.

That was a brilliant idea since bitcoin price is down, I would do the same since i can buy things some other time, and we can celebrate Christmas everyday if we want but, saving and investing sometimes needs timing and today is the best time, although you also need to buy yourself some gift, like what others say love yourself save or invest 60-70% of the money and use the remaining for other things food and other things, merry Christmas.

Well, they say laughter is the best medicine, and it looks like you're taking a big dose with that Bitcoin investment! Here's hoping it brings plenty of holiday cheer (and profits) your way.

The holiday season is the perfect time to give yourself a gift. I know, I know, you're probably thinking that you already have enough presents under your tree. But hear me out… This year, why not give yourself something that will make every day feel like Christmas!

It took so courage to have done that, because one would have thought you wouldn't want to displease your friends by having a rethink on how to spend your money, while in their company.
Now that the Bitcoin has been bought, I would imploy you  to do all that is necessary to learn how to safe guard it from scammers and market fluctuations, and how to either trade or invest for the long run as you would deem fit to decide upon.
Merry Christmas celebration OP.

You've taken a good step, and I really like your idea. It's always wiser to spend money on things that will pay off later than to fritter it away on pricey items meant to impress others. You now know that your money is fixed in something that will later be advantageous to you because you invested it in bitcoin. I always tell my friends that they can purchase Bitcoin for a small sum of money that would otherwise be wasted unnecessary things,but they always tell him that those people that make it through Bitcoin  invested huge amounts of money, but always still tell them that small small that due form big but still not believe that.know that no amount of money is small in term of investment especially in crypto investment. Op you have done something great by that action toke.

This is a good gift that you have given to yourself. Buying bitcoin now is good because it will keep growing for you especially if you can be patient for the longtime. It is not everyone that will decide to do this to invest in bitcoin although shirt is not that of same value except you bought few fraction of bitcoin. Buying shit is also good because it makes you look good.

I was hoping g I would see a thread such as this but not in the contest you did present it and I must say, its good and definitely a commendable one.

You know, some might think it's boring and by that, I mean your friends and possibly other persons that are aware of the plans or development since they might not find this fun but, its more about the memory. This one is intangibl, the Christmas is not like every other day and as such, making it iconic by not doing what everyone would do on every other Christmas is definitely unique. Merry bitcoin Christmas.

That is a good idea because if you buy shoes and other expensive items, it will be damage one day and you will just not sell it and it will add no value, unlike bitcoin that will add value because the price is low now.

But as for me, I have money I invested and that I am still investing on bitcoin, that will not make me not to buy Christmas wears and other things that I needed for Christmas, but what I bought are not expensive.

So I decided to put some smiles on my face this season by buying Bitcoin as a Christmas gift for myself.
yesterday I and my friend/colleagues went to a shopping market for some Christmas shopping we were 6 in number and we all went to the market after receiving our Christmas bonuses from work.

My colleagues bought some fine shoes and other expensive items/ wears for themselves and every one of them was expecting me to do some picking myself because we all agreed to go on group shopping but on our way to the market I already have a rethink and a change of mind.

I decided to spend my money buying myself some Christmas gifts which is Bitcoin instead of buying some expensive clothes or shoes I decide to carry the digital BTC  in my wallet, instead of wearing shit that will soon get worn out.
