Hey Guys! Next week I go to my friend's wedding. I want to present him with some BTCs, like 0.5 or something Wink

He never heard about bitcoins, have you got any idea how can I give him? A paper wallet or anything else?

Please help

Or should I give him a pendrive with a lite client?

I think the last choice is best in my opinion, you can give pendrive with a lite client be packaged with tutorial how to using inside it. I think it is common way for giving gift on wedding.

Cool, you have thought something creative to make bitcoin famous. You could gift him a pendrive in which you can write tutorial that what is bitcoin, how to use bitcoin and how to earn bitcoin easily. By welcoming him to bitcoin you will increase 1 member in bitcoin and the large is our network the more we will earn

I'd also suggest a fancy paper wallet (but make sure you do it yourself offline, since if it'll get hacked it'll be embarrassing) and a vanity address (which, again, I'd advise you make one yourself).
From what I know, all the tools are available for download and offline use, all you need is some nice card(s) and a printer.

You can slip somewhere a link where it's explained what he can do with his new money. I'm sure you'll find a blog where it's all explained, just google a little.
You can even print it on the very same gift card, like Read more: http: bit.ly / some_short_thing

Nice idea to invite your friend to bitcoin.I suggest you give him pendrive with a guide on how to use it.0.5 btc is a big amount in many countries so make sure your friend doesn't waste it out of ignorance

probably you need take printout of guide about the bitcoin and create wallet on behalf him and ,tell him that it can be explained in details if require . may be you can share youtube ,google websites. but thing is after his wedding he will be busy

, i believe he/she will not have patience to read all those things that time , so best is buy some goods or gift with that btc and gift him.

You might ruin the happiness in their wedding because of that. Better do another thing. In the way you want it to happen there will be explanations that will take place and it will take a little time. Why not just withdrew it. Buy a thing for them then wrapped it like a gift. Try to put yourself in his situation.

thing about giving a paper wallet to someone who knows nothing about bitcoin is that they may not value it and end up losing it, if i was you i would keep a copy of the key and when he finally needs bitcoin and tells you he lost that bit of paper you gave him 10 years ago, you'll be there with the key.....

i think that's not great idea because as you said that he has never heard bitcoin and if you give bitcoin as wedding present i think he would be so confuse how to use it and how does bitcoin working because bitcoin is not physical however maybe you can asking to him does he willing to use bitcoin and if he agree to use it then you could give your bitcoin as the wedding present

The idea of the pen drive is one of the coolest. However I would choose to go old style and surprise the couples a bit. I would send them a laptop loaded with a lite or full bitcoin core client wallet and there they will have the 0.5 btc loaded. Maybe 2 different wallets, 0.25 with the name of your friend and 0.25 btc with the name of his wife. You can write them a full detailed guide about bitcoin and leave it in the desktop. Of course they will not see it right away but after some days after the wedding they will become curious and this way get to know bitcoin and maybe even embrace it. Or if a laptop is too heavy there are always slim tablets to try but laptop is safer in terms of security.

I know about people who became interested in cryptocurrency after getting a paper wallet as a gift. According to the experiences that I read, paper wallets often looked at as entry gifts into cryptocurrency. A paper wallet is easy to make, has elegant physical presence like you could put it into an excellent-looking paper case or book and your friend could store it in the classical way in paper form until he is in the mood to do some research online and import the wallet. In your place, I would print the wallet into a nice piece of paper, put the paper into an elegant case like this and put another piece of paper into the case with my technical instructions and best wishes. No need to overcomplicate things, just tell your friend to take good care of your gift :3

apart from all ideas I like your idea of paper wallet as a gift. Wrap the paper wallet with fully design and if you want you can make it a photo frame and with that keeping the another paper with full technical details about the bitcoin and its function.

This idea is very cool, i will try this coming next month when my sister birthday is their , so that i can gift her a new technology.

The pendrive is a good option too but if you don't find any other way to make a present for them I would go with 2x ledger nano or the hw1(cheaper), they are secure and can be used with a chrome extension which you can setup for them and introduce to bitcoin. Btw onlinedragon's idea is perfect.

Generate Bitcoin Vanity Wallet and Print it on Designed on Multimedia Paper
Make it cute hehe. Physical Bitcoin mostly only for decoration, not putting the bitcoin inside it

It might be a bit more expensive, but I suggest you buy a fairly cheap DIY or funded physical bitcoin. It will be a lot more memorable for him (most likely), and is very secure if you buy the coin from someone trusted, or a DIY. Getting a DIY and printing out the priv key of a custom vanity address would be cool too (you can get a 1xxxxxxx address from a vanitygen service on here for 0.0043BTC, depending on the difficulty). I don't recommend a bitcoin penny like someone else has said because I don't think you can load bitcoin on to those.

i will suggest to give him a pendrive but before you give to him, i think you should explaining about bitcoin so he don't confuse about how to use it. just a big explain until he understand the point. maybe you can teach by doing with him so he will know and will learning by doing to and he can apply by himself when you are not with him.

If you want a really cool gift then you can think about order something like Bitcoin Penny or a silver wallet. Also cool idea to give a Bitcoin address with prefix and some coins on it. I have also bought a address to mine wife with the prefix 1Miranda and requested for myself 1Marvin.

Will be like this:
Address: 1MirandakMqHmN8i5hPJsT8Jj22EpHRrKd

That is a really cool idea. Make them custom vanity gen addresses of their names and load each one with .25 or something. Really really cool idea, I like it a lot and will probably do that in the future.

i will suggest you can give him a pendrive with a lite wallet software in it and also keep a private key backup with yourself incase if he formatted the pendrive and don't understand the bitcoin things

I think it will not work.. better to try already mention here that put the bitcoin in cellphone with wallet that has bitcoin inside..
So this is new technology than you are giving it a pendrive that he didnt know how to use it.. also if his laptop is infected . so better to use cellphone to give it to him.
