Maybe we are not as lucky here as you on birthday, when you celebrate, you have good friends and care when you get older.

Maybe I should say, my friends are also good people and care for each other where, every time our friends get older we always give them gifts, but not in Bitcoin.

I saw what happened to you on your birthday, maybe we are also motivated where in the future when birthday friend has to give Bitcoin as your friend did, great idea to do, maybe we can judge here, it's not the value of Bitcoin that is given, but togetherness, that's important.

Congratulations on your new age.

Although it is a little late, it is better to be late than never! Happy birthday to you, my good friend! If someone has given you a bitcoin, whether it be from an exchange or directly out of your wallet, I am grateful; however, I understand that some of the comments here will suggest that he should have sent you some of it directly into your wallet rather than giving you an email and password from an exchange; however, this is still a very nice gift. You stated that you have only learned bitcoin in the last 15 days, which is a good start, and in order to grasp the bitcoin from that exchange to your hardware wallet, you will need to understand and learn it over time, which you will do over time.

Happy Birthday.This seems like a great gift.I wish that more people would give me money at my birthday(not just useless gifts). Grin
I really hope that Kucoin won't block your account for logging in via a different IP address.
I guess that teaching other people about the benefits of Bitcoin(and cryptocurrencies in general) pays off at the end.I just don't have the motivation to go outside and teach other people about Bitcoin.I'm very introverted and I'm really careful,when it comes to talking about Bitcoin/crypto.You never know what might happen,if some evil people find out,that you own and trade Bitcoins.
People like you are the reason why the "Bitcoin army" keeps growing.

Happy birthday mate! Congratulations on receiving such adorable gift for yourself. I have seen few other threads where fellow forum members also asked whether they should be gifting their friends, spouse and family members the popular bitcoin! Most of us obviously love the idea of gifting bitcoin because it is the future, and it’s unique way to express our best wishes.

I am loving the thoughts of your friends. Just wish that everyone would keep doing this until it becomes the trend of modern gifting.  Smiley

And yes as everyone mentioned it’s on centralised exchange, you should move it to the wallet and have your complete ownership of the coins.

Good luck.

Happy birthday to you, and may the best come to you forever, and you are given long life and health.

If it's a KuCoin account, I hope you can KYC soon even though KuCoin doesn't require strict KYC, but just in case, moreover, the account wasn't you who created it. Or you can move the balance to an exchange that you have used before and have been KYC.

I have never received a gift in the form of BTC, but I am the one who gave my friend or relative a gift in the form of BTC. But that's okay. At least I helped them to know something about BTC.

Never received Bitcoin as a gift from someone. I'm not sure anyone would even think of it. Usually, its money for gifts, and then I do what I want with it. I've probably bought Bitcoin with gifted money before though, so there's that.

I guess that the next step of your "lessons" must be about having own wallets, about "not your keys, not your coins". Wink
Probably not the best time to educate them after they've just given you a gift though Cheesy. The intention was at least good, but the execute needs a little work.

But ensure you practicalize the first rule of a Bitcoiner, hold down for life, and not your keys not your wallet.
I've never heard of this rule? Obviously, not your keys, not your wallet is a common saying. Though, holding down for life is debatable. I get it, Bitcoin is valuable, and I do tend to see myself holding it rather than spending it. Though, Bitcoin absolutely can, and probably should be used for trading things, that's what makes it a proper currency, rather than a reserve currency.

Happy Birthday!

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.

I agree here with the previous post: if they chose to give you an account at a centralized exchange, it means you didn't teach them good enough.
I guess that the next step of your "lessons" must be about having own wallets, about "not your keys, not your coins". Wink

Do you guys have any memories of something like this?

The closest to this is the contest I've won here on Bitcointak off which I've received a Christmas present in Bitcoin, but the requirement was to buy something off it.
I've bought a monitor back then and I'm still using it (from the winter of 2017/2018), reminding me about the one who made me the present, about bitcoitalk and about the fact the Bitcoin is not only for HODLing.

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.

I've always been the gift giver than the receiver when it comes to bitcoin Roll Eyes.
This year I decided to use the new year (8 days ago) or Noruz to give away some new year themed gifts in form of paper wallets each with one of the 7 symbols found in Haft-seen. It was both fun and educational to combine the 5-7 thousand year old traditions with 13 year old bitcoin. I have some plans for Sizdah_Be-dar (13th day of new year) for a party to combine 13-year old bitcoin with the 13th day. But I'll see what happens. Grin

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.
