Title: Bitcoin as Gelt Post by: bittenbob on December 14, 2012, 07:00:10 AM Seeing as its Hanukkah for the Jewish community right now I think it is an excellent opportunity to give Bitcoin as gelt. For those of you unfamiliar with the the term, gelt is a gift of money often given to children at Hanukkah. While often this is just chocolate coins in foil, some parents do give real money. It teaches children the responsibility of money and many choose to donate it or give it to a cause of their choice.
This Hanukkah, WalletBit encourages you to give Bitcoin to your children for gelt. If you are not Jewish than consider the value behind such an act and consider giving your children Bitcoin for Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate. Happy Hanukkah/Christmas/holidays to everyone!

Thanks for sharing this interesting bit of culture! Title: Re: Bitcoin as Gelt Post by: gregwtmtno on December 16, 2012, 12:54:21 AM Also those chocolate coins from bitchocolate would make perfect gelt.
