Dude what you are saying is trully possible. You really can do that but you need to make sure that the person you will gift has his own bitcoin wallet. Or probably withdraw the money from you wallet and buy enormous gifts for the newly wed couple.

I would rather buy them something precious also but not my BTC.  Wink It is too precious for now. I am using it for trading.

Well, except if I have so many already and the person wed is someone who is also into BTC.

I think for some people it is a strange idea, but I think it's a good idea to give bitcoin as a wedding gift, of course bitcoin can be used by couples for anything, if they want something like honeymoon, or to buy home appliances, Very Helpful for him, or maybe to be saved as their future savings.

I would not do that by giving a gift of bitcoin to someone for a wedding gift because not necessarily the person we give bitcoin has a bitcoin wallet or they know how to use bitcoin, But what I would do is to buy an item with bitcoin for a wedding gift.

Yes i want to give bitcoin as a wedding gift and i will teach about bitcoin and how to invest and trading in bitcoin. Because i want to share to them the benefits also of bitcoin i want to show that i'm investing also in bitcoin so that they will encourage also to bitcoin. I want to appreciate them the important of bitcoin especially in our expenses. It is a good idea to give bitcoin in their wedding because after their wedding they realize to invest and for their savings for their future. Because bitcoin is a great value and earn good profit.

Bitcoin for me is really a nice gift to receive as a wedding gift especially if it is a whole bitcoin, but I won't gift it to a newlywed couple even if they are tech savvy because a newly wed couple might need money right away. They might rather like receiving gifts in form of valuable goods or fiat money for them to use in the days ahead. I know bitcoin can be meaningful to them if used correctly but I think it is weird to gift just someone bitcoin in their wedding unless the couple are both bitcoin users.

Certainly.  It is so precious so I agree with you that I would not give it as a wedding gift.  Like what you said I will buy them something especial or something that will be memorable.  Like a trip to a beautiful island maybe Palawan.  But not giving them my btc.  And besides, what if that couple do not know anything about bitcoin.  They might be shocked and needed time for them to learn about it.  But if I will be given a gift such as bitcoin, I would love to receive it with arms wide open.

Yes I think bitcoin as a wedding gift would be a good idea to give someone close to you. Of course you wouldn't give someone something they didn't know about, so I would make sure the person I am giving this as a wedding gift would know about bitcoin so she would know how to use it.

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.

Quote
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.

Ofcourse. It's quite okay and my wife will be glad and will be happy if I did it. Because bitcoin today as we know is very popular and many people are dreaming of it. And you can use bitcoin different aspects such as business for your family and buying things you want and ofcourse the things you need and will be needed if you have a family.

The gift will only be relevant to someone who knows what to make use of it and in my own case hardly will I see any of my friends who qualifies to receive gift from in the case of wedding knows about bitcoin. So, what I will do and what they will prefer is just to have me convert to cash and then buy whatever they would want be to get them to make both of our lives easy.

That will be totally dependent on the person who am giving the gift, no one wants to give a gift and then feel it was not appreciated by the receiver, if the person thus know about bitcoins and it's potential then I will very much give him or her that gift since it's going to be appreciated a lot.

It's a good idea and bitcoin can be used as a first step in married life to build some business and many person has a good life in using bitcoin. And it can also used in some expenses like honeymoons, out of town trips and even out of the country ans you can also buy all the things you want. But ofcourse make sure to have a settled life in your future family

It is true that bitcoin is very valuable to us and if there is a friend who married the possibility of me not giving a bitcoin gift and maybe I will give cash for my honeymoon

In normal conditions if the guy or girl uses Bitcoin it would be normal i guess but in my country it's just a big no.There is even a special ceremony where we give our gifts to the couple and some guy with a microphone announces to everyone.I can't explain to everyone even if the couple knows what is it.  Cheesy

I will but not all of my bitcoins, I will suggest to my wife that it's only a gift to her but still that will be used for funding our needs or good for savings. So even I will going to gift it to her still we both are going to benefit on it. That will only be look like I gave it to her but still I will have the control to those bitcoin because we are one now.

If the married couples know about this bitcoin, then it is worth to present a gift. But if they not I think it will become a very difficult situation for us because we need to explain to them what is Bitcoin and everything. We have time to explain, but they are too busy, so this will not work out. And as you told bitcoin is very precious money I don't like to lose my bitcoins for this type of reasons.

Probably wouldn't go as far as giving it as a gift, because it wouldn't be understood at all, unless the groom is a die-hard bitcoin enthusiast Cheesy, Seriously speaking I see bitcoin better as a simple gift rather than something official like a wedding gift.

If you give bitcoin to a person who does not accept it then he probably will not appreciate this gift. For weddings, it is customary to give things which are essential to the newlyweds for life. I think bitcoins do not belong to this category.

This is a good idea to give as wedding gifts in bitcoin them because after marriage they will realize to invest and to their savings for their future. Because of the bitcoin is a great value and URbaik.dan it will also be an additional income to fullfill the needs of day-day they will live happily Wink
