This could fall under a couple different topics, but wondering if anyone has thought of buying bitcoin or one of the other coins for a Christmas present for a relative, parent, child etc. I was thinking paper wallet of some kind. Don't know how much though, like I don't want it to be a tease if I say only put $10.00 on it.
If you do so, you have to make
very clear the implications of holding a paper wallet. I've heard lots of stories where people gave bitcoins as gifts like this, and of course, people lost the wallets. Most people still don't take crypto that seriously. It's still a mainstream opinion to think of it as a bubble or pyramid scheme.
As much as I hate Coinbase, it's one of the ways that gift recipients who didn't know shit about Bitcoin managed to hold onto their coins. Since people can send BTC to Coinbase wallets via email address, it functions much like digital wallet like Applepay or Square. As long as their account didn't get hacked, they could log in years later and claim the coins.
