Title: [ROUND 2] Wife is pregnant ***AGAIN***, how to bring bitcoin into the process?
Post by: gadman2 on August 10, 2014, 10:52:36 AM
Updated 8-8-17:

Round 2. Found out my wife was pregnant again 4 weeks ago. Now I ask myself the same question. How do I bring bitcoin into the process?

Our first girl, Elise, will receive (on her 18th birthday) a Kialara #9 Gold (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=837501.msg11544398#msg11544398) that was loaded literally 3 minutes after I cut her cord. I bought the Bitcoin for 250$ just before she was born. Wow, how the prices has already risen since that day. I've turned down offers of 4000$ for just the bar so I don't even have a reliable value for the bar sans bitcoin. So that idea is turning out to be a massive success.

Here are some pictures of her currently(ish)!

My two Bowtech girls:

Easter:

Now, unfortunately, I don't have a spare 3500$ laying around to purchase another bitcoin for our next (and final) child. I am really, really, really wanting to do something for him/her, but I don't know exactly what... Maybe some sort of crowd fund from this community? Maybe I should put back some money every week to add it up to 1 bitcoin to even it out between our two kids. I can't get another gold kialara bar, but I'm sure there are others physical coins out there. I'd hate to give our first child something of great value, and our 2nd child something of anything less value. Hence a small dilemma. This is the point of the thread, your ideas! Please share.





-----ORIGINAL THREAD BELOW-----

Learned that my wife is pregnant yesterday. This will be our first child. So how do I incorporate bitcoin into the process? I have bitcoins to spend.

Anyone got any clever ideas? This has potential.

Edit:

Baby is born, healthy Elise!

Born 10:56 PM cst April 9th, 2015.

Thank you to everyone who donated a little. 100% of all funds will be used for Elise.

If you would still like to donate to "The Bitcoin Baby", you can here:  1GVDPmspEbJYYRh5LrMxBz1dDxPrMHNnBM

Again, I will be revealing my secret bitcoin idea soon when everything is ready.

Thanks again, everyone.

Print every year a paper wallet (plastic sheeted) to insert in the medical note of the child.
At 18 years, you have a multimillionnaire son ...  ;D when you transmit the BIP38 password.  :D

I bought my son a Casascius coin. I keep it in a safe and I will give it to him when he turns 18. I also made him a wallet. I put something on it every now and then.

How about ordering some flowers from 1800-Flowers
Sorry I lack creative ideas on this but it could be one part of something larger
That and maybe some candy ^_^

Escrow it? Depending on how much and how long. Otherwise you can create your own cold / offline wallets.

You didn't say what kind of process. You could spend the bitcoins on the hospital bill if you have to pay for it.

You should put the well being of the child first - definitely! If you really want to do something symbolic, you could use a small amount of your BTC (one you don't need) as a savings account in a paper wallet for your child's 18th birthday or whatever. It'll be worth $0 or $50000, or any other number by then, no one knows :D
But really, make sure you have enough 'safe' FIAT money to take good care for the child!!!
Congratulations to you!!!!!! Awesome news!!!

Post by: Daniel91 on August 10, 2014, 02:52:18 PM
Congratulation for the great news!!!
If I will be you, I will use part of Bitcoin to cover first expenses you will have soon.
For the rest, I will open separate account- wallet and keep this Bitcoin for child.
In 18 years this can be huge value and maybe pay for his tuition at college, new house, car :)

Post by: gadman2 on August 10, 2014, 03:15:27 PM
I'm thinking about storing 1 BTC into a cold wallet on the day of his/her birthday and then giving it to them on their 18th birthday.

I still think there are much more clever ideas to be had.

Congratulations, man! This is the gift of life right there! You just made my day a lot brighter with this story! Make sure you have enough money to provide for your little one. Don't speculate with BTC and risk losing your money. If you want, just deposit that 1 BTC in a cold wallet! That seems like a good idea!!!

I'm not trying to tell you not to tell you to name your child with a bitcoin related name...but...it's not like people in the 90's named their kids Micheal Internet baggins...or Steven Netscape Cunnings or anything. Give your kid a normal name , or a cool sounding name with a awesome middle name or two. Just give him/her some coins in their teens and they will be grateful like woh da f.


edit: grats btw, well done!

Post by: Ron~Popeil on August 10, 2014, 05:31:29 PM
Congratulations. Maybe add a bit coin to the proposed cold wallet on each birthday as well. Enjoy the 18 years. They go by faster than you can imagine.

On the day the child is born, you can record the event in the blockchain (or sidechain).

Name your son/daughter Bitcoin  :D

On a more serious note, load 0.2015 btc on a physical silver coin, representing your child's year of birth. Give it to him/her when you think your son/daughter will understand the value of it.

I just want to say congratulations to you and your wife!  I'm not sure what you had in mind exactly but maybe a pool for the community to guess the date of the babies birth or weight?  Not sure if your looking for a money making idea or celebratory type thing.  Maybe the winner and the baby could split the prize coin.

Nothing like that really. Just wanting to know how I could bring bitcoin into something as specific and delicate as pregnancy. I don't think it's been tried before.

Unless your last name happens to begin with a C in which case you could make his initials BTC, I would not make your child resent you. It's not the 90s any more.

Buy Stellar or your preferred Alt against Bitcoin and hold it for your son to grow old.

p.s. Sorry for the stupid suggestion though :P

Excellent idea! Why not start now? Create an address for the little one and record the "we're pregnant" announcement. You can do the "It's a Boy/Girl" too. You can also have your friends/fam suggest baby names in the messages too. The address will be a little piggy bank of coins and messages from daddy/mommy and friends. Hell, if I ever decide to have a kid, I think I might do this :) 

btw Congrats!

Post by: oceans on August 10, 2014, 11:32:00 PM
Congratulations :)

To be honest the best idea I feel is to place 1 bitcoin into cold storage and then when your child is old enough to understand give them access to it, with the way of the living the way it is now I am sure your child when they get older would appreciate this a great deal :)


Title: Re: Wife is pregnant, how to incorporate bitcoin into the process?
Post by: Cranky4u on August 10, 2014, 11:34:01 PM
Using BTC you should buy;
1. A TV
2. A pack or two of condoms 

 ;D ;D ;D


Title: Re: Wife is pregnant, how to incorporate bitcoin into the process?
Post by: Cranky4u on August 10, 2014, 11:35:17 PM
On a serious note, put a few coins in cold storage for them. If BTC goes to the moon, hand them over when they reach 21.

you can attach messages to bitcoin blockchain https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_chain_message_service and that is forever
you may create an address for your baby and send bitcoins with messaged attach in special occasions:
when you know the sex
when you feel a kick from him in your couple belly
in the birth

that way you can show him the record and his saves in bitcoin  ;D
you also may attach a youtube link with a video

I think that the vast majority of the altcoins are pump and dump scams.

For the OP: I don't think that bitcoin is really necessary to incorporate into the birth of your child. I may recommend buying a small amount to possibly give your child for a college fund or retirement fund.

You can put the cryptographic hash of a video in the block-chain: proving that it existed at a specific point in time (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=173273.0).

Keep a block chain diary linked to a vanity address. It's gonna be there forever.

It's frowned upon by some since adding superfluous info to the already huge blockchain might be considered "bloat" even though Satoshi himself did it (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block) (more info on the mechanics (http://www.righto.com/2014/02/ascii-bernanke-wikileaks-photographs.html)).

Paul Snow and others are working on NotaryChains (https://github.com/NotaryChains/NotaryChainDocs), which basically would allow you to record data and events without cluttering up Bitcoin's ledger.

Hey, a vanity address isn't a bad idea! You could also just go ahead and use a certain phrase that has a connection to your baby as a brainwallet phrase and SHA256() it on bitaddress.org! But make sure it's a complicated sentence no one can guess easily!

Congratulations!!! What an awesome thing to hear! Well, you could put aside some BTC, I guess! But please make sure to put the well-being of your child first! Don't invest too much in Bitcoin, make sure there's enough money left in order to provide for the child in a decent way!

If you think of anything good, it could be a good idea to post it on one of the crowdfunding sites.  I heard of a guy who got a large some of money for funding to make a sandwich I believe it was.  I'm sure if you put your mind to it you could put something special together and get some financial help to make it happen.  Could go viral very quick and would be fun to watch take place.



Way to keep it classy.  ::)

When you have created the wallet address, make a QR code and publish it. Then people can "donate" to it, including you, of course, knowing that it will all go to the kid (or you, since you're the parent).

Congrats!  I find myself in a similar position as my girlfriend is due next month!  It's getting really real now.

I've personally devoted my unfunded Casascius gold bar with a SilverWallets hologram (they were kind enough to give me a couple hologram stickers at the Chicago convention) to my son to be (yep, it's a boy!). 

In fact...

That's the Wallet Address right there!  Was thinking of making a t-shirt that says "Bitcoin Boss" or something.

I have two S3's earmarked as his which I will setup to mine to the wallet for as long as possible which with any luck
will pay for his college, his house, his future, etc...to the moon!

If simply showing an address is begging...than this is a den of beggars.  I didn't ask or say to send me or my future son bitcoin...I explained my plans to another soon to be father because what better way to store for your childs future than cold storage.

Mainly I posted the image of the QR because I thought it was cool that you can go here:
http://bitcoinqrcode.org/

and make one...

then go here:

www.cafepress.com
 
and have it printed on almost anything.

Perhaps I should have said that on the last post.

Anyway...how's that 50 posts for Primedice coming Mobius?

Try investing in Actual Money and start an Actual Money trust fund to pay for some education, there are specific funds available with special percentage rates soley for education based funds, don't waste your money on butts, you have no idea what will happen with bitcoin or any other crypto in the next 18 years, nor does anyone else, and anyone who says otherwise is a flat out fucking liar, a deranged fucking idiot, or both.

I do not have money issues. I can easily afford to send a child to college now, this moment. The question is, how do you integrate bitcoin into something as specific and delicate as pregnancy. I'd like this to be a great milestone for bitcoin as I've, and not many people have, had the chance to ask this question.

Tattoo a key with all your Bitcoins on her belly button. When her belly button pops back inside after the birth the key will be hidden until you knock her up again. Every time you think about spending Bitcoins you'll either need a hard on and several months wait or a scalpel.

The answer is DON'T it has no place there, its just a commodity confused as money, thats it, its not a medical service, its not a milestone at all...

Keep some BTC in a cold storage and keep it safe until he turns 18 or 21. Whatever you see fit.
BTC may be worth a lot in the future so you should keep some.
If it goes to 0, whelp, that sucks.
If you need to, use the BTC for hospital bills or something practical.

First, see if your wife is supportive before figuring out how much to involve bitcoin. If she's not into it, why not open your kid a "bitcoin wallet" and throw BTC in there at times, like on every birthday until 16 or 18.

I think the point is that consumers do not usually pay the hospital/doctor directly, but rather they are paid by the insurance company. If a hospital were to accept bitcoin for payment and all their patients paid the entire amount they owe in bitcoin the hospital's revenue will still be primarily be fiat from the insurance company.

The point is, it is just money, no matter how or where its from, USD, BTC, GDP, EUR, it doesn't have to be some revelation. It's stuff you work for and earn and you give to someone else for the service. You are taking it far too seriously. The fact you are having a child should be WAY MORE important than whether or not you can pay medical bills with bitcoin or not, its those kind of statements that people see as deranged and adds to the delusion that is the 'Cult of Bitcoin.'

Well, as far as I know there aren't any hospitals that accept bitcoin so what you're really saying is to sell the bitcoin and pay in fiat which I think goes exactly against what the OP had in mind.

As for clever ideas, I like the idea of a physical Bitcoin with private key to commemorate your firstborn.  He/she can exercise or use it when they're much older.  Maybe put 1BTC on it.

Good luck to us both!   ;D

- Tattoo a private key on his skull.
- When the hair grows back the private key will be hidden
- Send btc to corresponding address
- When he grows old and looses his hair he'll discover the btc. Nice retirement nest egg for him.

I think some people would consider this to be cruel to the child (it would really be too young to consent and understand getting a tattoo like this).

I also don't think that a tattoo artiest can make a tattoo in enough detail to be able to make a QR tattoo of a private key.

Sounds like a fine idea. 80% of my daughter's name comes from a character out of a drug-influenced religious book (maybe that is redundant). The other letter comes from a space satellite mostly just to make the "majority link" much more difficult to determine (and to ensure it doesn't sound fairy-y). I was pushing hard to name it Moose if it came out a boy, but this was unpopular among family members...  Satoshi's a pretty damn difficult name to use a similar method for, though. It wouldn't work at all if he isn't Japanese, and anagrams all look terrible... Ihotass... Tish Osa [last name]? Ash Soti [last name]? Otis Ash....

Anyway, she certainly didn't get a 150BTC trust fund for it.

Could probally anagram it if you add a letter or two in there
Toshi
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshi_(given_name)

Chisato  is another it replaces the S with a C but is basically a sneak anagram of satoshi  (shi) (sato)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chisato
The middle name could be replaced with an S for something else :P

Chitose works as well a bit more hidden though (Shi) (Chi)

Learned that my wife is pregnant yesterday. This will be our first child. So how do I incorporate bitcoin into the process? I have bitcoins to spend.

Anyone got any clever ideas? This has potential.

I bought my son a Casascius coin. I keep it in a safe and I will give it to him when he turns 18. I also made him a wallet. I put something on it every now and then.

Yes , I think this is the best solution. Use a secure paper wallet protected with a second password or use a  physical coin . Store it until your son will  turn 18 years old .

You could bank cord blood and/or cord tissue stem cells using this company that accepts Bitcoin:

Two PhDs that own their lab, have been around for 10 years, perfect transplant record (including one used by Joanne Kurtzberg) but they suck at marketing and their website is running something like Drupal 1.x

I know it's a gravedig, but we have learned that she's a she :).
congrulations.
I am contacting a few of the physical coin makers to see if I could get something made for the occasion. :)
I might suggest buying a silver wallet instead of a physical coin. Although the physical coin "manufacturers" have shown to be "trustworthy" so far, that is not to say that nothing will happen between now and ~20 years from now that would cause them to want to steal any remaining funds in any of the coins they have produced.

With a silver wallet, you are essentially buying a "coin" that you can insert a QR code for the private key, no one but you ever has access to the private key

Another addition with a silver wallet is that you can add bitcoins to it at a later stage.
When your daugher turns 1, all fiat gifts can be converted to bitcoins and added to the wallet.

+1'ing the Silver Wallet idea...if you're feeling froggy, maybe even spring for the Gold Wallet:

http://www.silverwallets.com/

http://www.silverwallets.com/assets/img/goldplated_lg.jpg

Doesn't look like Bitcoin payment option is working on their website, but Paypal or alternate method still seems available.

If that doesn't work, I'm sure you can contact Nightowlace or Blazedout419 directly right here in this forum for sales.

I'm super interested in the kialara wallet mainly because of the concept behind it which you're not supposed to open the case and spend the bitcoins. Yes I would be taking a risk, but that's fine with me. Hey, I might even buy one of each :D.

Wow, those look extra sexy as well:

I'm expecting a baby girl in the spring also, so definitely would consider something like this to commemorate.

I already got a Silver Wallet for participating in the Silver Wallet Sig Campaign, so maybe I'll check out the Kialara.

I'm really interested in the "putting a video on the blockchain" idea. I'm not too familiar with it. Any leads?


This is probably what you want: http://proofofexistence.com/

Though I'm not sure how large a file you can input; I've only done it with documents and pictures. I imagine a <20MB video file would be fine, though.


I dropped a Casascius coin in my daughter's piggy bank when she was born a couple years ago. She was probably therefore the youngest bitcoin holder for a while.

Now she's talking and "bitcoin" is a household word. Bitcoin-as-money will seem totally normal and obvious to her.

Congratulations. Maybe add a bit coin to the proposed cold wallet on each birthday as well. Enjoy the 18 years. They go by faster than you can imagine.

Way too fast.  Congrats to the whole family.

That was a real smart move. I will do something similar in the future.
He will end up thanking you for the rest of his life when he turns 18.

Good luck dude! We would like to see your child's pics.

Ps: Un Turkey, We've a tradition. If a friend/family member etc has a newborn we gift a gold  (it's called quarter gold and weighs ~2 grams). http://www.altinfiyat.net/wp-content/ceyrek-altin.jpg

If you provide us a donation address we (at least I) can donate some bitcoin (better than gold) to your newborn!

Good luck! Two of the most stressful things in life happen in relationships - the birth of your children and divorce. Try to stay calm and relax. I recommend some kind of alcoholic beverage (unless you're in Colorado, if you are then I recommend smoking yourself into a coma). lol

That baby is so cute! Congratulations to you and to your wife for having a baby that's so cute and healthy (from what I'm seeing). Anyway, you've been asking for suggestions on how to incorporate bitcoins together with the birth of your child. You should think first of her health, and her future as well. You should start putting in some bitcoins in a paper wallet that is laminated and kept in a safe and when she turns to legal age--or even when an emergency occurs (I hope there wouldn't be any)--you can give her the funds that you stored for long and maybe by that time comes, bitcoin is widely-accepted all throughout the world. :D :D :D

Again, congratulations! ;)

Congratulation for the great news!!!
If I will be you, I will use part of Bitcoin to cover first expenses you will have soon.
For the rest, I will open separate account- wallet and keep this Bitcoin for child.
In 18 years this can be huge value and maybe pay for his tuition at college, new house, car :)

Nice advice of yours, I think she will follow your opinion it is like you save money for time deposit then after several years, you will take the lump sum of your fruit of labor which is the harvest time in the right time of course.
