Topic: Would you give bitcoin as a wedding gift? - page 37. (Read 17938 times)
Bitcoin for me is really a nice gift to receive as a wedding gift especially if it is a whole bitcoin, but I won't gift it to a newlywed couple even if they are tech savvy because a newly wed couple might need money right away. They might rather like receiving gifts in form of valuable goods or fiat money for them to use in the days ahead. I know bitcoin can be meaningful to them if used correctly but I think it is weird to gift just someone bitcoin in their wedding unless the couple are both bitcoin users.
Bitcoin as a wedding gift is a nice gift for me. If my friend reading this post/reply. I want to receive this kind of gift If I am going to have a wedding someday. This gift is rare gift in my country that many people knows bitcoin dream this gift. I hope someday I received this gift even if 1 bitcoin only 
Yes i want to give bitcoin as a wedding gift and i will teach about bitcoin and how to invest and trading in bitcoin. Because i want to share to them the benefits also of bitcoin i want to show that i'm investing also in bitcoin so that they will encourage also to bitcoin. I want to appreciate them the important of bitcoin especially in our expenses. It is a good idea to give bitcoin in their wedding because after their wedding they realize to invest and for their savings for their future. Because bitcoin is a great value and earn good profit.
I would not do that by giving a gift of bitcoin to someone for a wedding gift because not necessarily the person we give bitcoin has a bitcoin wallet or they know how to use bitcoin, But what I would do is to buy an item with bitcoin for a wedding gift.
I think for some people it is a strange idea, but I think it's a good idea to give bitcoin as a wedding gift, of course bitcoin can be used by couples for anything, if they want something like honeymoon, or to buy home appliances, Very Helpful for him, or maybe to be saved as their future savings.
I would rather buy them something precious also but not my BTC. 
It is too precious for now. I am using it for trading.
Well, except if I have so many already and the person wed is someone who is also into BTC.

Dude what you are saying is trully possible. You really can do that but you need to make sure that the person you will gift has his own bitcoin wallet. Or probably withdraw the money from you wallet and buy enormous gifts for the newly wed couple.

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.

I just don't get why bitcoin? Wedding is a special occassion so the gift should be meaningful. I'm supporting bitcoin but it just don't feel right.
For sure! Bitcoin would make a great wedding gift. Lots of people might think your a nerd... well, for a couple decades until they needed to buy some and you and your wife are multimillionaires. 
For me bitcoin can be used as wedding gift, especially is thus couple know how how used bitcoin or maybe you can attached a guide on how to used it.
This is more like what I saw in an interview where the parents give birthday presents to their kids, but in the form of stock certificates. This would be almost similar to that idea of giving bitcoin as a gift to newly weds. And if they plan on having their honeymoon in Japan, chances are they are going to find plenty of shops accepting bitcoin as payment option.
Bitcoin is too expensive and rare to give as gift.
I'm kidding... But yeah, I think the traditional gifts are more appropriated for this occasion, like stuff for the house and the beginning of the couple's life together. Bitcoin isn't a good gift for a wedding in my opinion, it doesn't make much sense. However, someday in the future it could be a trend and everyone will start doing it for fashion.

I thought I would change it to something of equal value but more people are known. Meanwhile, my lover does not know what Bitcoin is. For a normal person, some BTCs they would think are normal, but for people like me it is a fortune. I will use that bitcoin to prepare for the wedding and later life
Only people who know about Bitcoin realize its value, and they will view it as a great gift. Conversely, if they do not know about it, your pass will not make sense
I will give bitcoin as a wedding gift for those newly married couple because they can cash it out as soon as they want to cash it out or if they need money and it is a good idea for me because giving bitcoins in a paper wallet is a very unique gift in my opinion and for sure they will get curious on what am i giving to them.
For a couple, I do not think you should donate bitcoin as a gift. They are a new couple, I think the gifts that are material will be better. Bitcoin is not appropriate here.

Well this is really new, I have not thought about this but if the person wants to why not right? There are no rules that you can't make bitcoin as a wedding gift. Especially if you know that the couple knows and have the knowledge of bitcoin why not right?. In that way they have money online that they can invest on in the future especially when they will have kids. Its important for them that they have savings and I know by the time in how many years bitcoin will be known all over the world and surely the market price of it is over board than what we have right now. I never thought of giving bitcoin as a wedding gift but its really up to you. As I said there is no rules of it that you can't and the couple won't deny it because its a gift. You gave it for a reason even if they don't know about bitcoin you can teach them about it so they have an investment for the future of them.

I did not do that. Give a gift for the wedding. Only the money used to give the gift comes from the bitcoin I got and I save it. But not at the wedding but the wife's birthday party, I bought a gold necklace from bitcoin widraw result to money. I am very grateful to get to know bitcoin so it always helps my life.

I would love to. If one of my friends is a member of a bitcoin group, I will give him a bitcoi as a wedding gift. For sure my friend knows how to use it and I am worry free because it's up to him or his partner whether they save it or they will invest it. I will be delighted if it helps them to save up money for their future plans and and the same time I become more productive through helping others to become a bigger community as a bitcoiner. It is perhaps a monetary gift for the couple but I know some people like it because it is indeed useful for personal purpose and the like.
If its a real bitcoin "coin" then i can give it to him but it really matters when the person getting it knows the price of bitcoin and is familiar with bitcoins otherwise he will think it as another normal coin.
