Topic: How to gift Bitcoin this Christmas (+cool Bitcoin gift ideas) - page 3. (Read 573 times)
I know that for everyone of us here, money is really valued as it is not that easy to earn, so no matter what I can received this christmas it is fine for me. Actually, I am planning to buy some cryptocurrency souvenirs for myself and for my family and friends, as this is a unique and cool thing to gift right now as this is not yet the common thing to give.
As much as I love Bitcoin and would like to receive BTC for Xmas I don't think that it would make a good gift for another person who doesn't know how to use it especially because it is virtual.
If I were them I would rather receive a tangible gift. But that's just my 2 cents.

I don't think paper wallets would be a great idea, why not just send them some bitcoins when they are sleeping at night, it would be more surprising that way, and more safer than having paper wallets, it will save your time also, you just have to put some effort on sneaking in their room at night, scan their QR code, and there you have it, mission success.
Those are 13 nice ideas on what or how to give Bitcoin stuff as a Christmas gift during this season of giving. Great options to different kinds of Bitcoin friends, depending on how well immersed they are into it. They certainly have different degrees of appreciation on those various stuff.
If I may add though, it is also a great idea to give a Bitcoin stuff that is a collectible or a limited edition. Or one that has a value in itself because it is rare or because it is made from gold or silver. It is best if there is also a certain amount of BTC loaded into it. That makes everything more precious.

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.
usually when you give bitcoin as a gift to someone, you should think of it as giving them some "money to spend" not an "investment to hodl"! with that view, your concern becomes moot so far as the paper wallet that is being gifted could even have an "expiration date", meaning a date where the gifter keeps the private key so that he can reclaim the coins back if they weren't spent already.
after all the point of giving away bitcoin should be to help people become more familiar with bitcoin, and their first act could be creating a new wallet and sweeping the key they received as gift. and the second thing would hopefully be to spend the coins just as they spend fiat.
(i agree that the creation steps should become safer though)
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. 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.

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.

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.
