Would you give bitcoin as a wedding gift?

[Yanidas]

I gifted/purchased one BTC 2 years ago for a christening and will hold it until the child is 18. We'll see how that goes, 16 more years to go!

But yes, it makes it for a very thoughtful gift in my opinion.

That would be some kind of entertainment value to me and also to promote bitcoin at that occasions is a great idea. That makes me thought about doing this on my brothers weeding and eventually I will try it. That will be amazing and

I don't know how the crowd will react at that thing. Maybe confused or laughed about it, hopefully I won't be mob by many visitors who wanted to asked about bitcoin after the reception.

I am planning on getting married next year and I would be pleasantly surprised if any of my friends give bitcoin as a gift. I think bitcoin would be one of the best gifts we can give, be it for a wedding, birthday, anniversary or Christmas. With the price expected to still rise, all the receiver needs to do is hold and watch how bitcoin grows as a very good investment for the long term.

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.

Yes. I can give some of my bitcoins as a wedding gift. I will first convert some of my bitcoins into cash then I will withdraw the money in a bank or in a remittance center like for example in Cebuana Lhuiller. After that, I will also consider if the wedding is our family member or our relatives. Because bitcoin is really hard to get. That's why, I will first ensure that every coin will be not be wasted. I will also consider if the rate of bitcoin is high or low. My wedding gift will depend on the rate of bitcoin also.

People start sliding credit card or bank card at wedding in India !  If bitcoin became a wedding gift , it would be weird first but day by day , modern technologies improve , No need paper money ! Therefore people can use their smart phone and scan OR code and send Bitcoin as a wedding gift ! But the true value of love , i would say i wont give bitcoin , i will make something by my heart to give as a wedding gift

Of course, yes. Why not? We are now living in an era where everything is high tech - from the gadgets we use up to the means of transportation. With that, it is not a bad idea to give BTC as a gift in  a wedding. Instead of giving material gifts which are not necessary, why not give the newly-weds BTC so they can also freely buy the things they actually need? Bitcoin is a great wedding gift.

Bitcoin will be a wonderful gift for the wedding just need to explain to the newlyweds how to use it, and then the gift can remain completely unnecessary. It will be excellent only for those who already use crypto currency.

No never I am not agree with this individually, because in my country one bitcoin worth more than 500000. So it will be stupidity for the people like me with a low income to give bitcoin in a wedding gift. Although if some people have a lot of money and wants to give bitcoin as a wedding gift then there will be no problem, but I think the wedding couple will be more happy with the cash instead of digital currency.

[drwhobox]

It will depend if my wife do/does know about  Bitcoin. for me I'll just make Bitcoin as a investment for our child and for the future of us *My future family*

I think its a good idea but then considering that the couples who aren't that familiar with Bitcoins they might get confused and won't appreciate it. But then I guess if I will buy something from what I have earned from here, they will surely appreciate it.

If bitcoin is an unknown to the new couple then there is n need to trouble them by gifting bitcoins. It would be really funny to see that everyone is looking at them and they are sitting with you trying to understand bitcoins on their wedding day. (Personally, I think gift should not be in the form of money).

Me and my husband are very interested in bitcoin and things about it. I would rather chose to get bitcoin as a present for our marriage 6,5 months ago than to present it to somebody, especially to those who don't have any interest to this currency (our firings are like that for example).

[goldade]

I voted yes because its what I will do for a couple who I know is open minded in that even though he does not know about bitcoin now, it does not mean he wouldn't in the future and when that happens the say 0.01btc I am giving him today would have worth more in 5 years if that's how long it will take him to understand the importance of what I have just given him as gift.

I would like to get a bitcoin for my wedding as a gift and I think that others would also appreciate such a valuable gift that in time can bring more and profit.

[RayvenPierre]

Bitcoin as a wedding gift is definitely one of the best gift newly weds can have. They can use it as a family trust fund which will be a great trust fund because it accumulates in price but I don't think I'll be giving bitcoin as a gift especially if the people are not interested on it or does not even know a thing about it. And that's the reality, not many people know about bitcoin but if those newly weds that I will be giving bitcoin as gift is interested with it then why not.

I want to do it if couple recognizes bitcoin and unfortunately where i live, younger generation who are ready to marry not yet understand about bitcoin specifically. They just heard about exchange rate and aren't willing to learn how to earn bitcoin. So this becomes an obstacle for me to make bitcoin as a wedding gift. Whereas, if it could be done, it would probably be the coolest gift.

I think it wouldn't be a problem after all if you give bitcoin as gift to their wedding pal. even they're not yet ready to understand it, of course you will guide to keep and hold em. Because when time comes when become a world currency then they stored it into their wallets they will realize and remember that you gave them a bitcoin. Then they will be thankful  to you in the end for sure.

Dude , I don't prefer to give Bitcoins to my friends on friendship day , forget friendship day , I don't give it to them on even their birthdays so I won't even think of giving Bitcoins to someone on their wedding. Bitcoin is the future of money and I am very much attached with my money. Well I might not hesitate to give them an expensive thing but not Bitcoin
If I see the price of Bitcoin to rise alot after I gift them , then that would make me regret alot . So it's better to give them something  which would help them is household or even giving gold is not a problem but just not Bitcoin xD.

[lehoang3369]

Maybe if my friend is also a bitcoin user, but if they do not, of course I will not. But I think bitcoin is a good gift for weddings because it is decentralized and they can use it to travel the world more easily, like some new couples do.

[VeroBTC]

i will gift it to married people if they know about bitcoin.
in my place, wedding gift its money or stuff for their house. its rare if someone gift with bitcoin.
but i dont know if there some people has do that

[Tamilson]

Well if my friend knows bitcoin then there's no problem with that but if he didn't know bitcoin then I just give them money or gift. I want to give them something useful that can help them starting and building their life.

[longml]

Bitcoin can be made into a wedding gift, giving bitcoin as a wedding gift is a wonderful and unique idea. My friend, who introduced me, will soon get married, and it looks like I'll get the idea. Thank you for inspiration
