If you wait until BTC is less risky and easier to use, then it might be a lot more expensive.
Will you be Giving Your Mom some BTC for Mothers Day?

...

"Bitco..., what's that?"

"Ma, it's the new digital currency that looks to be the next big thing."

"Oh, no thanks, dear..."

***

My Mom is 82 and just started learning to use Facebook, so, no, I will give BTC to someone else when the time comes.  

Nice thought though, + 1 !!

I have already stocked Mater with 2.1 coins. She's now ready to whup the future's ass.

The network doesn't stretch quite far enough to reach her yet.

She's dead.

The idea isn't for everyone.
My mom is also too old for the Internet, but some of "us" have mothers in their early 40's.

Coming up on Sunday, May 11

giving parents money for mothers/fathers day is missing the point

its meant to be an act of love to show them they mean alot to you.

money = "cant be arsed to buy you something, so you do the work, heres some money now you find something to buy"

keep money gifts for other occassions

How about giving her both money and a gift? I don't see any problem with that.

i agree, your mother would be happy with both.

If this is an insult, I don't understand where it's coming from. I'm just suggesting that you can give your mother some BTC along with the usual Mother's Day gift.

Hahah, I can't even get my mom to update her phone . Bitcoin just isn't user friendly enough yet.

when my mom asks me about a good computer deal, she asks me "how many gigs is it?" .. so yeah, i won't even bother trying to explain it to her.

I ordered her flowers from http://www.cheapflowers.com/

paid in bitcoin

Some parents need money more than gifts.
Seniors have a rising cost of living and usually limited income.


Good idea, thanks for the suggestion.

I was thinking about that too. But I wonder if ordering some books from amazon or something. But Bitcoin are still rising. Giving Bitcoins makes more sense.

If I give her a paper wallet, she would just loose it. She does not care how much it is worth. She only cares whether she can pay for groceries with it. The obvious answer is not yet.

Funnily enough, I did ;)
Now will have to teach her how to secure and operate her wallet

Thought about it. But then decided against it. My mom is not that tech savvy. Even if someone gives her Bitcoin, she won't be able to keep them safe and secure. So I bought her another gift instead.

My mother loves to tell me that I don't know what I am doing with my money, but then later saying she should have listened. So I guess I should get her some, but she still would prefer a nice perfume or something like that.

To give BTC we would need some place they can spent it.

Any ideas for some cool feminine shop ? ;)

Yes, I will be!   10 BTC per HER request. :-) LOL

I don't think the BTC's will fit in her small handbag, too big.   :'(

Sorry Mom, would you settle for little Doge's?   :D

I cannot give this to my mother because she is very old now and don't no about computer so giving him btc is not give but from here I have some good idea and now giving her some flowers it good  :D

I think that is a great idea. My parents are in their 50s but pretty intelligent and I always tell them about big and latest BTC news when I see them. This would be an awesome present idea but I just don't have very much BTC or fiat right now...

For the people saying give her Bitcoin And a gift, how about one of the physical cryptos? Search in the goods section of the marketplace here. One off the top of my head is "Cryptolator."
