Yes! You are absolutely right. Bitcoin as a gift is a good idea. I'll take a note. And the question that accepting a gift in bitcoins can not use it, I do not think it is very significant. After all, even a child can understand the use of bitcoins. Wink

It's a good idea not only as a wedding gift but also a good as part of a wedding souvenir. Maybe give out a paper wallet with small amounts to introduce Bitcoin to those who attended the wedding. It's unique and its a good way to promote Bitcoin awareness in an event where you don't expect this kind of giveaways will be handed out.

Some tech-savvy wedding-goers are gifting the digital currency to new couples. Honeyfund, a honeymoon registry that allows guests to give cash rather than gifts, has seen more than a dozen customers donate in bitcoin, said chief executive officer and co-founder Sara Margulis. In recent years, more than a dozen customers have chosen to route donations to the site from bitcoin wallets. Zola, a wedding registry website, has had just two cash funds created for bitcoins since 2013, a spokeswoman said. "I would expect it to pop more as millennials come into the wedding age,” Honeyfund’s Margulis said. “It’s something you will do if your friends and family are already into bitcoin.

Bitcoin as an retirement plan, bitcoin to secure the future of your kids, and now bitcoin as a wedding gift. Whether or not bitcoin replaces cash in future, it looks like the trend of gifting bitcoin instead of cash at weddings is definitely going to catch up and more wedding registeries would be adding bitcoin as a gifting option.

Quote
Avoid using a wedding gift "as an opportunity to proselytize a technology you personally believe in, but the recipient could not care less about."

People who are not into bitcoin might not appreciate getting a volatile currency as a gift, and might never use it, thus adding it to the list of lost coins, but I think people who are already using bitcoin or would most probably use it in future then bitcoin instead of cash is the apt wedding gift for them.

I don't think so, maybe I can use my bitcoin to buy a wedding gift, but not give bitcoin as a wedding gift. I usually use bitcoin whenever I need to buy something. However, as much as possible I don't use or spend bitcoin. So, if ever I'm getting married or when someone is getting married, I would still give them something out of my bitcoin, not my bitcoin.

I think I'll hang onto my BTC. Still this could be a wedding present that really pays off in the long term Smiley

No, knowing the bitcoin potencial i wouldnt give it as a wedding gift, unless the person is a bitcoin lover and supporter, at those situation i would give because the person does know what it does means and worth. Bitcoin can be used for anything, but the big fact is due to its big potencial send 0,1btc today, worthing 400 dollars, can be worthing tomorrow 1000 dollars, soo i would avoid send bitcoin and i would present with fiat without regrets.

Yes just like other gifts we give in wedding. We can give bitcoin in a wedding just like we gift a picture to a friend they become very happy to see that why because he/she is photographer. In the case of friends who are known to bitcoin we can gift bitcoin without any hesitation.
Yes, Why not? However, you have to be sure that the bride and groom are Bitcoiners and they have interested in Bitcoin. It will become a special gift because it is different than the others people's gift. For sure they will enjoy it.

I'll definitely give bitcoins to my tech-savvy friends if they get married. Bitcoins will really help them get on their feet and start investing on digital currencies and other digital investments available.

Well, I don't think I have a friend who actually is a bitcoin fan. But if in any case I do, I'd still not gonna give bitcoin to him as a gift. I'd rather give him a physical gift that he could remember me for it.

Bitcoin as a substitute for wedding gifts does not seem right. It would be better if still give the gift of marriage in the form of goods and added by donating bitcoin to marriage partner. That's really good and more impression on the bride.

I guess you could if the recipient would like it and know what to do with it, pretty small group of people fit that criteria.

I personally would go the traditional route and gift them something more appropriate, but that's just me.

I think that it definitely depends on the couple. If neither of them is tech savy, they will likely just forget all about it until a decade from now when you get frantic messages asking how to recover it if the price skyrockets

for me. I will not be awarded a bitcoin to my future wife. I'm just a type of person who wants everyone to remember my gift for my future wife. It's the day you care about your life. I want the gift That's the kind of cry she's glad to miss.bitcoin isyour wedding gift as if you bought your future wife with bitcoin. So it's a bitcoin to get a wedding gift. It's just my opinion.

Bitcoin is a very much important thing for me, it is a valuable tool so that I couldn't afford such type of expensive gift. when I manage a bitcoin then I usually intend to save it for the future purpose. because I believe that Bitcoin will bring me a lot of money in the future.

I consider this an excellent idea! Bitcoin is an investment in the future, and I think that as a gift to the newlyweds, it will be very relevant. After all, the young family is facing such expenses as buying a house, transport, furniture, paying for the education of children, bitcoin in this regard will be an excellent support for the future.
