that's an interesting question!! I have ever thought about it before. But I'm thinking there are still many more meaningful gifts. Cheesy And I will give them to my lover ^^
I agree with you, bitcoin as a source of income to help me make meaningful things for my lover and also my fiancé. I will use it to make her a surprise for her to make her happy.

I would, but only to a few very specific friends who are also very much interested in crypto-currencies.
And it wouldn't be the only gift I'd give them, giving Bitcoins is a bit unpersonal, but in the end, who doesn't like to get money....

I'd probably also give a selection of good altcoins.

I guess this will be good idea. And I will do the same thing, only for few friends whom I know interested in bitcoin or in web currency since I knew some of my friends who were in bitcoin mow and earning. I am excited now for then to get married and give them a gift of bitcoin. Also do not wait to get marry, we can give bitcoin gifts to our Girl friends also.

I voted for yes it should be a nice gift they will remember for life time if bitcoin value goes high and the amount we are giving it will double or more than that . Even new couple and family start to look into bitcoin it is also kind of awareness.

I would rather keep my bitcoin for myself and give another gift. With its potential, it's really hard for me to just give any single amount of satoshis. Aside from that, it would be appreciated more if you give tangible things like appliances and kitchenware as a present, I think.

Edited: But if the question goes like this "Would you accept bitcoin as a wedding gift?", I would be gladly say YES.

I've never considered giving out money as a gift for weddings, except maybe vouchers or gift certificates that I think would be suitable or may be useful for the couple. But I've never given money in itself as a gift, or have considered it before so I probably won't do the same for Bitcoin. Unless I would like to introduce Bitcoin to the couple, and giving it as a gift would be handy for them, then I probably would?

Well, this is a very interesting question in my opinion. The outcome of giving Bitcoin as a wedding gift can be both positive and negative. The only way I would be able to imagine this to work is that if any person inside of the recently married couple knows what Bitcoin is and how to use it. If you were to go up to them and give them 1/2 a BTC (an example...) and they had no idea what to do with it, it can be very awkward as they will then have to learn how to use it and it will eventually turn into more of a hassle then Cash or Wire transfers. Id say it greatly depends on the people you are giving it to.

Bitcoin is good for keep holding it in a long term process. And it is good for a couple that are still at the beginning of their journey. It is good for their future especially for their future childrens. And Im sure this so useful for them as couple, especially when that couple are familiar or already encounter bitcoin they possible used it for investment, for trading or for gambling.

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 .

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 am thinking about giving physical Bitcoins as a wedding gift to my cousin, who is going to get married in December 2017. He used to be a Bitcoiner until a few years back, although he is no longer interested in them. Perhaps this gift will rekindle his interest in BTC.

Bitcoin is very expensive now so not willing to give such an expensive gift to anyone as bitcoin is also an investment for me so won't just give away my investment to someone else and will prefer to gift something else which is less expensive. Wink

Bitcoin is more a gift for ppl who don't use it and you want to motivate to participate.
I would not give it as a gift for that reason, however If it's a couple that prefers money and which I know well.
I would see myself giving them some Bitcoin.

This is very interesting and I will try it later on our wedding anniversary.

I am sure that some people around here would have an upset girlfriend/fiance/wife if she was given Bitcoin as a gift...She would then see the price of it then get all happy..

Gave 1btc Casascius coins as christmas gifts at during christmas 2011. Most of them sold it in the first jump in early 2012. Did a total of 14 and only 2 kept them. They are still holding.
It was still worth it. Even if you managed to get that 7% interested in Bitcoin it was a great achievement. I'm sure those holders are now happy and telling people how you gave them an opportunity to earn a lot of money, by essentially doing nothing, just not selling.
