I think the biggest concern would be that the person you're giving it to would end up forgetting a password or something like that. It may sound ridiculous to you but not everyone's Internet savvy, so I'd say it's very important to also give that person maybe a printed document which explains the basics.

Most people are used to passwords these days. But I would recommend against giving coins to your grandmother Wink

I had trouble enough explaining what the hell 'internet' is. Good luck explaining crypto currency

That is a concern for sure, but you could just make the password something like their mobile number and/or DOB etc. If people are going to lose stuff then I'm sure they'd lose cash or vouchers as well.

Hi, I'm new to this forum and was just curious if anybody gave bitcoins, lightcoins or any other alt coins as a Christmas presents.

I would never do it, its not personal enough for me, but with all the buzz about bitcoins lately I wouldn't be surprised if whole families have exchanged bitcoins as presents this Christmas!

I'm thinking about giving some next year. Depends how well known Bitcoin becomes in 2014 and how many coins I can make before then.
