Well it would be weird to give someone 0.05 BTC or so if you ask me. On the other hand 1 BTC looks too much.

What's weird about it? I'd be happy if I got 0.05 BTC. Is it any different to getting £20/25? Plus, hopefully they'll realise the investment potential.

So would i be happy with 0.05BTC but if you dont know what they are, then u;d be alot happier with the cash, or u'd think 0.05btc some like a small number.

0.05BTC is about £25 in the UK which is about right for a gift card, but it would be weird if people didnt know what they were.
0.1BTC looks a better number as a gift i think, well better than 0.05btc but not as good as 1BTC.

I guess the physical coins are a good present but cost alot more than just giving some BTC.

I wonder if more people are likely to give away BTC because they feel its not real Fiat, like people in casinos that gamble because they dont see the chips in their hand as real fiat.

BTC trust fund thou i think is an idea i'll continue.

Fiat?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_money

A saving account in the UK isnt making a massive amount right now, at the current rate BTC is seeing a better raise than a savings account, even at a 15% increase over a year would be better than savings.

You get next to nothing from interest now. I remember the days when I got over £50 a year in my ISA. I've thought about putting my savings into BTC, but it would break the only invest what you can afford to lose rule.

I think Bitcoin is going to be worth a lot more in the future, but I'd stick to your rule. I've also thought about putting more money into it, but I can't afford to lose it, even though I'm sure at some point I'll be able to see a return.

Yeah, thats the only problem with putting your saving in BTC unless u are fully behind it.

Savings are crap now, barely get anything back.

I'm willing to accept any coin as a Christmas gift! xP

As for everyone doing the BTC gifts, A LOT of folks this year seem to have done it. Maybe it's 'cause I just got into crypto currency, but it really does seem like they blew up as gifts.
