Topic: Friends Give Me BTC as Birthday give - page 2. (Read 500 times)
It would have been so good if you keep the amount in your wallet outside the exchanges a separate wallet where you are able to freely move it whenever you want. I think to make it more memorable, just keep it and let it be there for the next 10 to 20 years so it will create some good history in your crypto journey. Kudos to your friends for giving you not just some gifts but a memory that you will never forget.
Today was my birthday. I just came home 3 hours ago. It was really late at night, but a party was organised for me. By the way, thanks to my friends who gave me this special birthday. But I was most surprised when I saw they gave me a birthday card and asked me to open it. When I opened it, I saw an email and password were written. And the account was a Kucoin account. Then I logged in and I saw there was $93 worth of bitcoin. And when I asked them about it, they said "this is a gist from five people. Four give 20 each and one gives $15, but because of the price volatility, it becomes $93. Though I didn't ask about the amount, I asked them what they did. Because I have been helping them learn about bitcoin for the last 15 days, and they have already made their first investment with me. This feeling is really something special for me. Literally, this is something special. And this birthday will be really memorable for me. My life's first bitcoin gift was on my birthday.
Do you guys have any memories of something like this? If you want, you can share that, and if you also give them any surprise, please share that too, so that I can get a better idea of what to give them.

Thank you soo much everyone who wishes me here.
It’s sure,I am also going to wish you,Happy birthday O.P.If you get bitcoin as a birthday gift,it will be best gift for you.Because the bitcoin gift will not same after few years.Increase and increase to huge value.If you had a habit of holding your birthday gifts for longer as memories,it was sure you will get happy twice then now.When you get bitcoin as a gift.
The amount is not that big but it is the thought that matters here. They appreciate his assistance to them and in return, he got his reward in the form of bitcoin also. So long you are making a difference with your life, you will be happy and satisfied. Rewards such as money is just a bonus. What matters most, is you help somebody to the best of your ability.
I can imagine how special and joyful this surprise was. Your friends were very kind and generous to you when rewarding a portion of btc for your birthday. Since you are who introduced them to crypto, they must be very satisfied with all the lessons you taught them so far.
Keep doing the best for those who enter your life and you will keep being blessed more and more each new day!

Thank you so much to everyone who has sent me a message and shared their stories with me.This really feels great to me. Though some of you share that you still haven't gotten gifts in bitcoin yet. But I hope you will get it soon. And one person I saw say that he gifted 0.01 bitcoin to his girlfriend. It's really appreciated.
And I saw some of you were complaining about why they gave me a Kucoin account. What am I teaching them? Actually, I already mentioned that they started it about one week ago. So they just learned the basics. And because of the ban on bitcoin in our country, they bought it on p2p. And I am surprised that they can buy bitcoin. That was more surprising to me. And I hope you guys say something about paper wallets. I hope that in the future, I will gift them or they will gift me. I will teach about it, but not now because they are in basic lessons still.
And again, thanks to everyone.
Happy birthday and best wishes to you.
When I opened it, I saw an email and password were written. And the account was a Kucoin account.
I'd like to criticize this a little. Why use a centralized exchange account to give away bitcoin? It is so much better to give away paper wallets containing a private key that has bitcoin in it.And I saw some of you were complaining about why they gave me a Kucoin account.

Receiving a bitcoin on my birthday isnt still happening but i dont really expect that much since not all people around me does know that im dealing with crypto even with my closest friend or even
my family members but i do somehow picture out the thing on where you do get surprised by your friends even though its not that a big amount but still much appreciated.
Bitcoin or crypto could really fit out on being given as a gift but of course it does really need for someone to have at least some idea or knowledge of it so that it would be
appreciated by someone.

Happy Birthday, mate
. It's really good that your friend gave you bitcoin as a Birthday gift, It is really very impressive. But I don't know why people don't use non-custodial wallets when they gift crypto to other people. I've seen some other posts like this and every time they used an exchange or custodial wallets. we should have to practice using noncustodial wallets or hardware wallets, exchanges accounts are not safe at all. they can ask your KYC anytime and there is a high chance to lose the gifted amount. 
Happy birthday and wish you many more years with good health and more bitcoin in your wallet. Your friends are really great, you should be very proud to have friends that are caring like. I believe you will definitely want to hold the coin and you won't sell it because is a gift from friends, the best thing you should do now is that you should transfer the coin from your kucoin account to your non custodial wallet address and try to hold it.
Just read pooya87's comment and it warms my heart like no other. I can happily share that I've had the pleasure of sending people their first coins as well, some paper (including two kids, one who famously lost it and I remind him quite a bit haha, but sadly) but mostly digital, I like giving them their seed in parts or puzzle they later assemble.
But I never forget my actual first one was a gift. 100 bits (that was how it was sent) gifted with the only condition I open my own (self-custodial) wallet. I knew there was testnet and I did that too but nothing comes close to spending the real thing for the first time.
I've since hoped to always pass that good gesture onwards.

Happy birthday OP. And what you're going through, I felt a few years ago because I had some friends involved with bitcoin, and at that time some of my friends and I gave each other the same amount of bitcoin on birthdays.
Very happy on birthdays to get bitcoin gifts, and even more fun when receiving bitcoins when the price goes up because the amount of bitcoin gifts given remains the same and does not see the price go up or down at that time.
and at that time the amount of bitcoins given on birthdays with the same amount was 0.005 Mbtc for a total of 5 people including me, and after all came to their birthdays we didn't continue anymore.

First, happy birthday

Next, it seems your friend does not know about risk from KYC, custodial wallet, CEX.- Kucoin, for now, is a non-KYC exchange but who knows how will they change in future?. https://kycnot.me/
- Why KYC is extremely dangerous – and useless
- Do you really want to do KYC in case Kucoin implement it? If you don't want to do KYC, it's time to move your Bitcoin to a non-custodial wallet.

If you hodl it a few years, a decade, its value will increase a lot. However, if you are planing to HODL it, let's move it to a non-custodial wallet. 
Belated happy birthday mate, I guess you are lucky enough to receive such wonderful gift on your birthday, maybe it was a small amount but still it's a precious gift if it was heartily given, Anyway I have also given some Bitcoin to a friend on her birthday way back in 2016 the Bitcoin amount was 0.05 BTC because during those days Bitcoin is not as expensive as today. but the bad thing is that I and my friend has become a victim of the HashOcean cloud mining scam and all our BTC was gone with the scammers. Again belated happy birthday.

I have never received Bitcoin as a gift, but I have given away cryptos as a Birthday gift in the past. Some months ago I give my girlfriend 0.01btc on her birthday, and I hope that amount becomes some nice money with time.
Giving money as a birthday gift doesn't look good for all, but we can't see this as giving money, this is more like giving an asset or an investment.
Congratulations, you are so young and already working towards having your financial freedom some day. your friends did a wonderful thing by coming up with this special idea, i know i will love it too assuming i was in your shoes. i have never receive a btc gift but i have gifted eth to a friend too.
My advice is to withdraw the btc to your own personal wallet for safe keeping. this is a gift to treasure. Happy Birthday.

First of all, happy birthday to you. Wish you all the best and success always accompany you.
I have also never received a birthday gift in bitcoin, I also have a lot of friends in the market but no one seems to come up with this great idea. This is really a meaningful and precious gift because we are crypto lovers.
Maybe I'll have to tell my friends about this idea, we're going to change the way we give birthday gifts this year to make it more fun and rewarding.

Congratz on your birthday. Now your 93$ in Bitcoin worth even more.
Although people talk a lot that cryptocurrency as a gift is a nice gift, such talks rarely goes from just to talk to action. I have a bunch of crypto enthusiast friends, with who I have discussed Bitcoin as a present topic. Everyone accepted, that it will be nice to receive such, and "they would consider" making such a gift. But no body ever made such gift. Instead everyone prefer to give cognac or whiskey bottle and a gift card or cash.

This is a wonderful and touching story. Giving bitcoin as a gift is starting to trend more and more. Because I have been helping them learn about bitcoin for the last 15 days, and they have already made their first investment with me.
I perfectly understand their desire to thank you for this. You have given them so much more by sharing information about bitcoin than they or you yourself can imagine.Do you guys have any memories of something like this? If you want, you can share that, and if you also give them any surprise, please share that too, so that I can get a better idea of what to give them.
Tell them about this forum so they can learn more about BTC and go deeper into the intricacies of crypto. As the post below shows, they still have a lot to learn.When I opened it, I saw an email and password were written. And the account was a Kucoin account.
I'd like to criticize this a little. Why use a centralized exchange account to give away bitcoin? It is so much better to give away paper wallets containing a private key that has bitcoin in it.And congratulations Imran232 on your past birthday.
Setting aside the use of exchange wallet, the act was actually pretty cool. I'm curious how do you plan to use it now? Would you transfer it to you main Kucoin account or create a new one (if you don't have it yet)? Personally, I would transfer it to a non-custodial wallet and hodl like a memento. Never mind the amount and the 0.0005 BTC withdrawal fee.
