Bitcoin as a Christmas gift

[hatshepsut93]

After the long bull run, the possibility of bear market is growing, so now might be not the best time to gift bitcoins. Sure, they can increase 2 or 3 times in the next years, but it may also go down, and people would not be happy to see their gift dropping in value.

Transaction fees are also making it harder to gift Bitcoin, especially smaller sums like $50 or less. You could gift them some altcoin, but they are much more volatile and risky.

So, I don't think that Bitcoin is a good gift today, especially for people who are not yet introduced to it.

If I wanted to give a coin, I would do it for a person who understands the cryptoworld.

It is a good idea if you give it to a person that know about bitcoin. And he/she know what will he/she do to his bitcoin. But if youg gift it to a person who know nothing about bitcoin. Its a disaster. Because he don't know what will he do to his bitcoin. You need to teach him step by step.

Bitcoin breaking it’s high-price again and again, multiple purposes rather than payment system and future investment.
All this make bitcoin a perfect gift for your love, wife, and family.
1.  your gift for Christmas will be a bitcoin?.
2. your ways to gift bitcoins "Hardware wallet, bitcoin gifts, paper wallet, Physical Coins, Donate"?.

This will be a good idea now because bitcoin is very famous currency and ypu can send it whenever you want because it can be easily to use.

Its really cool idea that you have brought up here. However I'm not getting attached to bitcoin upto this level this Christmas. I'm managing my investment with some idea's for the year 2018. SO I'm saving up some BTC.

But, at the same time I'm gonna cash out my X % of BTC into the bank so that I can spend it for my family. So on the one way around I'm using BTC as the medium to buy gifts for my loved one. Im pretty sure this time I'm having more money with me and I can do the grand celebration of the Christmas at my house for family and friends. Good luck for the best ideas though.

For now bitcoin value are not yet fully recovered their price, but still it was growing up little by little. I guess before end of 2017 bitcoin value will touch and stayed to $20,000 I hope that this price will become fixed. Because it was a good starting point of bitcoin value in the 2018.

Hello! Newbie here, bitcoin as a christmas gift was a great idea  if someone gave me a btc, this is the best christmas ever !.

[yaelahwall]

this question is very little funny, ok my suggestion to give christmas gift might be send bitcoin to the recipient, but not in physical form maybe recipient must have account blockchain or other wallet but may be in physical form maybe receiver must have legder wallet but my advice is a real gift and you have to exchange bitcoin into money and give a very special gift
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I also want 10 BTC where the santa

Who would be against such a present!
Yet the thing is that people don't give such huge gifts to others, you know. In my country the usual sum of money spent on a birthday/Christmas present is $10. A really cool present for close friends might cost $20. Now, bitcoin transaction costs like a good present and sometimes even more than that, so I guess for now it's better to give money presents in fiat or in normal currencies with a reasonable fee.

at Christmas, value doesn't matter most, but goodness is. 

Yes, this is a religious holiday, so people should care about the money as much as they usually do on this day.

Actually this is a good idea to give a bitcoin gift to someone. The best in this is the persons that you will be given knows or have an idea about bitcoin. Bitcoin is a okay as presents on christmas it is also be appreciated.

The best way to give a gift would be a physical bitcoin. Something shiny and unique, so that the recipient treasures it. Paper wallets are good too, but I have heard a lot of stories about people who lost their paper wallet, after being gifted it in the early days of Bitcoin.

[Lieldoryn]

To give someone bitcoins must pay a transaction which is now about $ 75. Then the person you make the gift too has to pay the same amount to spend your gift. My question is what amount you need to give people to justify the cost of $ 150 per transaction? I think this is a crazy idea. Bitcoin ceases to be tender.

Bitcoin is really a perfect gift for this coming Christmas day since everyone of us wants to receive this bitcoin that has a huge amount when you convert it to fiat. If you convert it then you are now ready to buy for your niche Buena for this coming Christmas.

[Pandarian]

Give something memorable for the christmas. Does not need to have monetary value.
Don't give bitcoin. You will have to spend the enpire christmas eve explaining about Bitcoin

[rey.fudz15]

giving bitcoin as a gift is just giving money but it is unique in a sense that bitcoin is not that known all over the world yet so if someone receives bitcoin as a gift i think thats weird but win on his/her part because there is a lot of potential to earn from it.

It would be a nice idea, and more if you gift bitcoin in a chip like all those collectibles that we have in that section of this forum. They are a nice idea to try to introduce someone in the system, maybe if he sees that he would try to start using bitcoin.

Definitely, an uncommon gift which will better suit your tech-savvy friends who are dealing with trading with btc and such. Since the Price is increasing at a high rate it's a very thoughtful and useful gift, Rather than only a wallet a btc along with it is a much better gift.

We can hope this to happen. If I had got bitcoin as a Christmas gift, I was very happy .It will the best Christmas gift ever to me.Even I had plan to give the bitcoin as a gift to my friends. Now the price is low,So I will give him a huge.

A paper wallet with a bit of BTC and a good guide how to use it will be really good Christmas gift Maybe even a good business idea!
