Interesting! Well for me, it's a yes
It will be a great wedding gift that can help them financially and can help them understand what bitcoin is
It's a good investment and it would be a big help for the future, we didn't know what will be the value of bitcoin in the near future.

Since my girlfriend also know about bitcoin and how to do bitcoin, then I guess bitcoin would be a great present in our wedding, I would secretly send a message to her that she should open her wallet before our wedding, I bet she would be surprise and glad at the same time. In fact, it is also true that bitcoin might be more valuable than it is right now, I mean its price would be more high than we ever expected.

Bitcoin as a gift is just being practical with your partner, relationship is not all about love, sometimes you need to be practical too in your life with her, because making your own family is not that easy if you are not financially stable.

If I knew the groom very well and knew he would appreciate bitcoins as a gift then yes I would. The problem is most people just wouldn't understand what they can do with them so would see it like a weird gift card that fluctuates a lot in value.

hahaha those couple would have been so dear to me
 for them  to received bitcoin as wedding gift from me  Grin Grin Grin
Hahaha! well, if they have btc wallet then why not give them some of your bitcoin as a present, for sure they can be so happy with your gift, but if you don't have that huge amount of btc, why not give them some of it like 0.02 I think is enough Smiley

I think most people who are not familiar with Bitcoin won't appreciate it as a gift. Gifts should be impressive, and Bitcoin will be very confusing as a gift. First, you will be gifting some amount that look small if you don't know the price - a whole Bitcoin, or half a Bitcoin for example. When you are gifting some asset, you expect that it will yield profit to it's owner, but if Bitcoins price will fall later, it might cause disappointment for its owner. It might even cause disappointment if the price will rise, but owner has sold it before, so assets and investments aren't always good gifts.
Do you really give impressive gifts every time? I've seen people give home appliances as wedding gifts and the majority decides to give money. Is money an impressive gift? Maybe, but if it's so then a Bitcoin gift should be impressive as well. It's money too, only in digital form.

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.

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.

When gifting you must always think of the other person first, so don’t gift bitcoins just because you like them, if the couple likes it and they have an interest in bitcoin, then you can gift some bitcoin to them, many will not know what that strange gift is but the couple will be grateful for it, just don’t give to them out of your personal stash or you may regret giving those coins.
I personally think that this will be a nice idea. Firstly, if they don’t know about Bitcoin, they will get to know about its amazing features. Secondly, that gift as a Bitcoin, they can keep those coins safe as an investment. And hopefully those btc will give them a handsome amount of profit by the years which will help them to live a comfortable life.
I hope you guys are giving something else on top of the Bitcoin that you'd be giving them; while it might be a neat gift and an interesting ay to introduce them to the technology, it's not exactly something a majority of couples would expect as a gift and they might not be able to make full use of it. having more practical or traditional gifts on top of the Bitcoin would probably be a better option for most scenarios, but what do I know. I've never tried to give Bitcoin as a wedding gift before.

Definitely,bitcoin would be a more valuable gift than any other jewels.We could give bitcoin as a wedding gift with a message that the life of newly married couples should progress as bitcoin.Bitcoin being tripled in its price in the last six months,it would be helpful for them as an investment in their future.
well bitcoin as a wedding gift is really important and a good gift according to me it will help the couple in future and will help them both to reduce their problems and they will keep it save for their future and will help them to buy all things they need for them so bitcoin as a wedding gift is really good according to me.

If they know about bitcoin then it's a great gift especially if it's on physical form. It will not be used for spending purposes but for collectible purposes as it was nice to see bitcoin something on our displays. If they doesn't have an idea about bitcoin then just give them fiat money as it was the usual gift as part of their starting during their first phase of being a husband and wife.

I think the bride and groom should have bitcoon wedding rings with private key on the inside of the like the Lord of the rings rings.

Too much bitcoin enthusiast. Possible but I found it hassle. Cheesy Wedding is sacred and I don't want to ruined it by any means.

it depends whether they know bitcoin or not so we can easily ask the bitcoin address and give him bitcoin. I prefer a gift that could be useful to them or the gift they want especially for my best friend.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

Do you give jewels as wedding gifts in your country? In mine it's usually money or gift cards.
If I gave jewels to the bride, people would look at me like I was trying to make her regret choosing that guy. Giving jewelry to a woman is considered really personal and meaningful, only reserved for closest family.
I'd of course give bitcoin as a wedding gift. It's a great idea because its value can grow over time and if people are giving cash and you give electronic money, it makes you look more sophisticated Cool

I don't give bitcoin as wedding gift atleast for me wedding gift has to be physically visible and also there should be some meaning for gift. But in other side i would love to receive bitcoin as a gift .

Lol. You are willing to receive bitcoin as a gift but you would not want to give a gift through bitcoin.  But I have the same sentiment with you, I will not trade my bitcoin to anything else.  I will not give it to someone because I know its potential.  Well I will buy something for a wedding that is memorable and really something good.  Like perhaps a trip to somewhere for their honeymoon.

What a great present.... You either understand BTC, in which case - great! Or, you dont understand it... in which case, a few years down the line and another BTC price explosion followed by press attention and you remember that you got some as a wedding present. At the time of the wedding the BTC was worth $100 when they re-discover it its $3000! What a great introduction to deflationary money Smiley
I am only going to give BTC as a wedding present from now on!!

Yes, of course. I will give Bitcoin as the precious wedding gift for long-term recall. Also, wish the new couple to spread the bitcoin technology in the market. Some of the people don't wan't to give their bitcoins as which might be expensive.

No. There are chances that the couple won't have any idea on how to cash out the bitcoins. A good number of people have heard about btc, but they don't know how to buy or sell it...and where. Interesting question though! Grin
