I did that once. The dude deposited it into Bitcoinica to play around a bit, and it's still there. Well, whatever is left of it after the hackers took a part of it and the liquidator taking another lol |

All of them Chinese, including my younger sister, my younger brother & a friend of mine. I also told them the addresses of a local BTC-trading exchange, as well as that of the Bitcoin Charts etc. |

I told them to create a password on their clients and back up their private keys. Thanks for reminding. |

I've read a lot about people gifting BTC to others/friends to get them started and many of them only started getting interested when they saw that the USD/ BTC was rising... Now is a good time to remind these people if they haven't touched their BTC in a year. Lets just hope they didn't wipe their computers  |

This is a great act of friendly generosity. I've distributed small quantities of bitcoin to random friends and family. I mailed my auntie a paper wallet, even. She's not that much of a technophile (apart from mobile phones) but she was really fascinated by Bitcoin and I spent the better part of an hour on the phone discussing it with her.

I just gave my nephew a bitcoin for his birthday. He is 17, perfect age for learning about Bitcoin before going into the real world.

I love giving Ƀ for births. I don't bother explaining much. Just that I do believe in this and it is intended to be for the kid once it is old enough to deal with it. I tell them that either the kid will know what a bitcoin is on his 18th or what birthday and buy a house or he might just as well throw it away. Sure I answer all questions asked to more details than might be good and some parents got interested but no big adoption yet . Well, one bought some $300 of bitcoin after that and I had to remind them that the one bitcoin of their daughter is not their bitcoin. |

I've been giving away Casascius coins left and right to spread bitcoin awareness amongst my friends. I also email them links to setup wallets, check on charts, mt.gox, and of course a link to this forum. I figure the less computer savvy ones will just hang on to the coin for future savings, and the ones that understand right from the beginning will get a wallet and invest themselves. I've given away nine 1BTC coins so far.. well worth the awareness!

I wish I had a friend like you when I was learning about it. My not-very-tech-savvy friend told me about BTC a little over a year ago but he had no idea what he was talking about. I was upset because I am usually ahead of the curve on anything tech related. I've got a bit of an ADHD problem, so it took me a little while to understand. My friend's description of BTC over a year ago I guess it's like a paypal atm for your computer, or something like that..... no wonder I didn't understand it right away. |

When I gave the Bitcoin to my nephew I showed him several locations for places to use it. I also told him he could just keep it for a while since I figured it would reach $100 some time this year. I hope he has checked it out by now, he will be pleasantly surprised.  |
