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 guess, the idea of giving bitcoin as a wedding gift is a good idea. But before giving it to newly wed, proper education regarding bitcoin and how it works must explained to them so they will appreciate it. Since bitcoin is a good form of investment that they can use in the future, I think anybody who will receive bitcoin as a gift will really appreciate it and find it useful and worthy.

"Hey here's something that you have no idea about. Please appreciate it lol"

I will give bitcoins only if either one of the bride and groom knows how to use it. I will hand over a private key to them instead of asking them in their wedding what is their wallet address. You would think that people will conduct an effort in order to receive the bitcoins that you just sent to them. But they are probably not. If they know someone who knows how to use bitcoin, they will just pay him a good percentage of the bitcoins that you just sent. It's just too much trouble setting up a wallet, verifying identification, and then cashing out the bitcoins.

Like with other things, you have to pick what gift should that person receive. If the person is a carpenter, then some advanced tools will be highly appreciated. But if you give him, for example, make up kit and he's a guy, he will not appreciate it at all and might even get offended.

perfectly said, you should give the gift which they can use it, without having knowledge about bitcoins if you even give them bitcoin with private key will be useless as they dont know what is bitcoin. so first you have to give them the bitcoin knowledge after then only you can think of offering Bitcoin as marriage gift.

I think is a good question ,, would you give bitcoin as a wedding gift ? ,,
In my opinion a wedding gift must be something very traditional , very classic and one special , not something virtual
Maybe in future maybe i will offer gift btc to my son , the ceo from blockchain said in a interview that bitcoin will reach €500,000 in year 2030 . We dont know maybe is true maybe is just a speculation .
Also i am very glad to see the evolution of the bitcoin . If you bought bitcoin worth 5 usd 7 years ago , actually you could have 4.3 u s d millions .

Finally my answer yeah i would give bitcoin as a wedding gift to , it could be a nice gify for my family and my friends

It is a nice idea. For me, I will give bitcoin as a gift if they want to. It is the best gift because they will use it or keep it when the price increase, newlyweds will be able to cash it out any ATM banks. It is a good idea if they have already know what is bitcoin and if they are accepting it. They preferred gift is real cash rather than other gifts like bitcoin or appliances. I'll request bitcoin as a gift when I get married.

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.

Depending on the person to whom you would gonna give the gift because if you give him bitcoin without any knowledge on it then it would somehow useless for him since he doesn't even know what it is and dontt know how to use but still if he appreciates then it should be fine but the best thing on gifting bitcoin to someone is those who have knowledge because for sure they will surely appreciate your present.

In my country it is customary for the wedding to give things or cash. Very few people know what are bitcoins and it would be very long to explain what it is. I don't see the point to give bitcoins to people who don't believe in him.

Maybe such a gift will provoke a new interest among the newlyweds in the crypto currency. So one more crypto-currency family will be born.
I would give such a gift. And immediately would say how much it costs

I think giving 1 or 2 coins of bitcoin as a wedding gift in our country is not that bad. Bitcoins price now is so high and I think they will be thinking of using it in their honeymoon or maybe learn to trade for their future. Having a family is a hard task even for a couple especially to newly weds, I think I will go for trading when someone gave me bitcoins for a wedding gift.

it's not wired at all! But it sounds funny to me Cheesy

I had marriage four months before and as me, my wife is also making bitcoins on different ways. So, we are crypto-couple and of course if someone would present us bitcoin we would be happy! Especially we would be happy, cause of that time bitcoin's price was 800$ and today it's rolling around 3000$ Grin

I will if the person who held wedding is my friend, it will suprise him/her though lol. Anti mainstream wedding gift to bitcoin user too. But it will cost much though, 1 bitcoin price is around $2500 lol. But if you give the groom a bitcoin, its like giving money to a child though. cmiiw.

Well I don't know why at the first time I saw this, I've laughed so hard but after I've understand the question I stopped laughing. Maybe I could give bitcoin as a wedding gift if I have any on my wallet. But it is a wedding gift so it should be given on that specific time after or during the wedding. I could sell my bitcoin on my country's currency and give money or buy gifts to the newly wed couple.

If the recipient is as much into bitcoin as you yourself are then why not of course it would be a cool idea giving someone bitcoin as wedding gift and then it wouldn't be limited to gifting it only as wedding gift but also on other occasions too you can gift your family and friends bitcoin on their birthdays, various other festivals like Christmas etc. Just make sure that the person at the receiving end understands the value and significance of digital currency as you do otherwise there are chances of your bitcoin getting lost forever are high.

I don't think its wise to give bitcoin as a wedding gift, IMHO. Specially if the couples don't know about bitcoin in the first place. I think the best option is to give them fiat instead. Or maybe give some things that they can value specially they are starting from scratch. like a TV or some appliances.

A gift is supposed to be something thoughtful and money or bitcoin isn't really such a thing. If you give them the gift of bitcoin it feels like you are trying to sell them your idea of an investment rather than helping them.

I will but to a friend that knows the concept of bitcoin not just to anyone so that my bitcoin won't go to waste, but if my special friends cannot understand bitcoin and doesn't have any interest in using it i'll just buy a gift that my friend will like and appreciate.
