If i will gift to somebody bitcoin they will decide that im mad

Wait a minute, so are you saying that they will think that you are mad if you give them bitcoin? Am I right? If so then a big WHY? How come for them to still have the guts of getting angry after ypu show a piece of generosity? I hope you will clarify your side because I'm really curious on your post

Did you know that paper wallets also come in special holiday-themed editions?

And, I bet you didn't know of all the cool gifts you can give to further improve the security of your BTC.

Truth is, I have never come across a guide that actually educated people on how to best gift Bitcoin as a Christmas gift. So I set out to write my own guide, right before the gift-giving season is fully underway.

In it, you can find all the steps and information required to make this year's presents unforgettable. So if you have a little brother or a mom you want to give Bitcoin to (I know I do), feel free to check out my detailed guide.

You can read it here: https://paybis.com/blog/bitcoin-for-christmas/

Additionally, I have added a list with gift ideas in case you want to gift a Bitcoin-themed or Bitcoin-related gift. These are non-affiliated products, most of which I own myself. So feel free to check those out too and, why not, even add some ideas of your own.

Thanks guys.

It's quite unique but my problem in this kind of gift is that most of my relative and parents didn't know or let's say they didn't care about bitcoin and other crypto currencies. I even said to them if in case I will give them gift via crypto currencies, are you going to accept it and they frankly said that it's better if I will just give them fiat rather than headache in learning how to cashout the crypto currencies.

But I am positive that in the future, they can adapt the modern system of currency and we can easily use the crypto currencies in any form of gift that we like.

It is really great to receive bitcoin as a gift. If someone is willing to give me bitcoin as a gift, I would love to. But me giving bitcoin as a gift is still a 50:50 choice for me depending on the person I will give one. Because I wouldn't bother to give people who doesn't know bitcoin because they might end up not appreciating my gift. And I won't bother teach everyone I'll be giving just for them to understand it. Unless they are willing to learn...

I think paper wallet is a cool christmas gift, you can attach it with the christmas card but it should be for the one who use Bitcoin only.

It would be awesome if only I have BTC to give to my friends as a gift. Few of them are into crypto too so I know they'll be happy to have at least a few BTCs on their wallets.

On the other hand, none of my family members is into cryptocurrency so it isn't advisable for me. They prefer things or perhaps money as Christmas gifts.

Here's the thing, in some countries they have some traditions wherein, they visit their godfather or godmother and received some gifts from them. And I think incorporating cryptocurrency in that scenario will provide them with new way of receiving gift. What if we encourage them to have their own wallet, and what we need to do is to scan it and give some bitcoin as a gift to them. In other sense, if they cannot visit us, still, we can send them our gifts and they could be the one to buy items from bitcoins we sent.

I have printed out a few nice looking paper wallets that I will fund just before the end of the year and give it as present. Hopefully the price from that point increases which is always a convenient way to get their attention.

That being said, I have been giving away paper wallets regardless of the time of the year. Giving some coins away for free helps onboarding people and hopefully they will do the same as seasoned Bitcoiners so that the word keeps spreading.

Wow this is something I actually didn't know existed. Sorry if I sound like a noob here but I'm a real sucker when it comes to these types of Christmas themed goodies. I don't celebrate myself actually as my country isn't really much into it but I'd really like to see more of these. I think the paper wallet also doesn't need instructions, they should be for yourself, not for others, IMO. You teach someone BTC that should be enough as a gift;)

A hardware wallet or some crypto if they already have one.

I hope the one who will receive this paper wallet knew how to redeem it. Paper wallet doesn't come with a tutorial on how to do it but sure someone who likes BTC will sure like it.

I tried giving someone some BTC after telling him to install a wallet in his phone. When he found out its just 0.04BTC he wasn't impressed. He thought I'd give him 1BTC so make sure the one who will get the BTC knew how to appreciate it.

A paper wallet is a horrible way to gift bitcoin. The person who is receiving has to trust both your honesty and your technical capabilities 100%, that you haven't secretly kept a hold of their private key and that you have created the paper wallet in a secure fashion.

I completely understand your point, but keep in mind that this would be a gift, and a gift that could be redeemed immediately and secured in a wallet that the gift-giver wouldn't have the keys to. And since it's free to the recipient, there's no risk to him or her. They don't have to keep the coins in the paper wallet, that's what I'm getting at.

I think it's a great idea if you know someone who might appreciate a gift of bitcoin. Unfortunately, I've got nobody in my life who'd want to get bitcoin in their christmas stocking.

If the person doesn't fully trust the person then he/she could just send the crypto to his/her own wallet after they receive it.

Ah, I didn't read your post before writing mine. That's what I was getting at. It's easy enough to verify that the paper wallet wasn't compromised and easy enough to secure the coins it contains right after receiving the gift.

Pretty much the tldr; If you're planning on giving out bitcoin as a gift, probably pick people that's decently tech savvy(someone that atleast knows how to follow instructions on the internet), that you think could possibly be interested in bitcoin. I don't think it would be a good idea to just randomly give them away to random friends and family that would probably just roll their eyes on your magic internet money.

^at least this is how I see it.

Many prizes can be given with the theme of Bitcoin, depending on the preferences of the person you want to give a gift to.
Giving a gift in the form of paper wallet containing a bitcoin gift, in my opinion is too ordinary.
There must be a new way to give prizes with the theme of Bitcoin.
Can create bitcoin-themed works of art or more modern ones giving Hardware Wallet as a bitcoin and altcoin wallet.
The most important thing is the gift can be something valuable and impressive for the special person you are giving a gift to.

The person who is receiving has to trust both your honesty and your technical capabilities 100%, that you haven't secretly kept a hold of their private key and that you have created the paper wallet in a secure fashion. Additionally, you guide says nothing about downloading the page and generating the paper wallet on an airgapped machine. Creating a paper wallet on a live website is the best way to have your coins stolen. If anyone was to gift me a paper wallet, I would be sweeping all those funds immediately. Better to gift them a hardware wallet and then send them some coins after they have initialized it themselves - doing so would also teach them a lot more about security, seed phrases, and so on, than simply handing them a paper wallet.

Those crypto socks you linked to are cool though. Might get myself a set, even if the Ripple ones would have to go directly in the bin.

I think it all depends on the person who would receive it.
Paper wallet or hardware wallet would be good if the receiver knows how to use it,
If the person doesn't fully trust the person then he/she could just send the crypto to his/her own wallet after they receive it.
Just don't expect too much from someone who doesn't know how it works or isn't interested in crypto theycould just easily forget about it or misplace it.

Merry Christmas Mom,

Here is 1 Bitcoin for you.
Please just do research on how you could exchange it to fiat.

Love,
Son

I don't want to give my Mom the headache to read instructions on how she will get the money.
As of now traditional people just want that paper fiat and they will have that smile that will almost rip their lips up to the ears.
Something like this. Grin

That is enough for me.
Not much of our old man or woman are into the internet by now. Some of them still lives in the stone age.

It may be a headache to your mom if she doesn't know how to trade bitcoin to the exchange. But if your mom is a tech person i think it would be easy for her to do that. But on the other hand, why do you have to give your mom a headache if you know she can't understand it. Why not give her the money in fiat straight to her via gift or via sending it to her bank account?

No, I prefer something more classic. Bitcoin gifts are not the best idea.

Other factors have to be considered, such as the value of Bitcoin to be given and the technological literacy of the beneficiary. The amount should be substantial enough to convince the beneficiary to do extra effort in claiming his gift. Technological literacy is also a factor, as people with lower literacy in using technology such as other adults, might find it not worth the extra effort.

Once I planned to gift bitcoin to my friend on his wedding. Later due to some sort of technical issue I wasn't able to gift it. Myself planned to carve the Barcode of the wallet as a keychain. Now more websites have begun to do the gifting as a service. Probably by 2020 christmas gifting bitcoin or gifting with bitcoin will be made much easier.
