Bitcoin for Christmas

[Wexnident]

I'd avoid that, since most people (ignorant mostly) actually think that anyone who owns Bitcoin is instantly rich or something, heck they may not even know what to do with it if you gave them. If you really want to though, a paper wallet should be enough, but add more details or designs that would give you a kind of like brand like atmosphere, making them think that "yup, it came from that guy indeed" kind of thing. Plus, add a simple instruction on how to actually handle Bitcoin, if you have the time, add how to buy and sell BTC, as well as the benefits of hodling you can think of. It'd also be awesome if you did a keychain or maybe just a customized item with a qrcode with it (a chibi model if you have the time, qr code below).

I think your idea is very good for this, but if you want to give a Bitcoin gift to your friend or relative you better pretend to ask them first if they understand Bitcoin and how to use it, if they find out then you can give a gift Bitcoin for him, but I think if you want to give a special gift better give them what they really like, that way the gifts you give will be even more special and they will be very happy and surprised by the gifts you give.

Are you sure that someone who will receive the gift knows about cryptocurrency? at least he knows how to use it.
if he does not know, my advice is you better choose another gift,
but if he knows, you can give him a bitcoin gift which you pack in a big box, which is a collection of random code phrase bitcoin wallet.

There may be many obstacles, because we can be sure that not all of them already understand the use of crypto, if they know crypto maybe. There is better that the ordinary is often done without reducing the meaning of the big day, the important thing is the gift. but is it just because want to look more different than usual? I hope that is not a top priority.

Christmas is really a big and great day to send gifts to someone. If you are planning to give something which is related to bitcoin, try to give them some books that includes topics about, blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, bitcoin, decentralization and anything that talks about that. Giving them a source of knowledge will do if they spend their time reading on it. I prefer that type of sharing knowledge and idea so that they can start as early as they can, and for me that's the best gift.

I wish for bitcoin, covid-19 would be go away before Christmas day all of the world. I think  bitcoin again achieve the peak point of success & wish bitcoin should be centerlized all of the world. I think  so.

We are already in "ber" months which it is a sign that we are fast approaching on Christmas day which is on December 25.
I have this on my mind that I'll start to prepare my present or gifts to some of my friends and family.

I want something related to Bitcoin like I will give a present that has related to Bitcoin, like some Angpao on Bitcoins? Paper wallets with Bitcoin inside? Or anything else.
So I am here asking for some opinion of yours, what's your suggestion for a present or gift for our loved ones for this upcoming Christmas?

Angpao with Bitcoins or Envelope with some paper wallet inside of it would be good.If you are really tending for them to learn about Bitcoin then curiosity will surely comes next when they do know on what they had received from you specially if the amount inside of those wallets are really that somewhat extravagant or on the generous side of yours.  .When it comes to present on holiday season then it doesnt matter on what you do give
but since you do like for it to be Bitcoin related then that idea of yours would be already a good one since it does have value inside, you can also opt for some bitcoin souvenirs like simple shirts, artwork
or anything that had crypto theme on it.
For now in my part when it comes to gifts and presents this upcoming December then i might still stick to traditional ones using up fiat, maybe soon i would make the same step as yours.

Although its good suggestion but provably not everyone knows how to use the paper wallet correctly and I think it will confuse newbies who will received a gift in that way. Also our wallet provider have an angpao option but it was converted to php but I don't know if this is possible to btc since I never tried this on btc.

Here read this for more information about the angpao https://coins.ph/blog/red-envelopes-are-here-angpao/

That's was a great idea indeed. If I am the one who will receive a gift that is related to Bitcoin, perhaps I would prefer to have a hardware wallet with funds on it, a small amount would be enough.
I also want to have a Bitcoin coin as a collection, it would be nice if I will have a lot of different coins. Bitcoin merch is quite good as well such as clothes with Bitcoin imprinted on it.

i will be simple this year since my budget is limited because of the effect of pandemic mate.

i am planning of buying good quality of v neck shirts and some blouses that will be Painted with bitcoin and QR code.

i believe that this will be enough for christmass bonus.

 present related to bitcoin ? you mean other good coins like btc ? but why not give btc directly instead of choosing other coins ? there was a wallet before that has a feature created solely for the month of december and for chinese year where you can send a cryptos inside an angpao/ampao .  not a real angpao of course but it was simillar to the real angpao but only in a digital form  . not sure if that feature did exist on other wallet or platforms but that is a good alternative for gifting cryptos physically or on hand

It will be a simple Christmas for our friends this year since due to Pandemic also have to maintain social distance and everybody life has being affected in some or other way due to this virus. So will keep it simple and just planning as of now to give them directly an account which has some pre store btc and later they can change the password. Let see if in next two months anything becomes better.

How's it feels when someone gives you 1BTC during Christmas? I'm wondering if someone will give it to me in exchange for one piece of pizza...
Maybe it was just a dream and seems to be impossible.

I've planned to give some BTC's to my parents (not 1BTC). This is also a way to thanks them and lets them know that they are wrong thinking about Bitcoin did nothing and just a waste before. To let them feel that I'd never regret my decision investing Bitcoin and proud to be a part of this crypto community.

I remember that and if you are lucky you'll be able to receive decent amount of crypto by offering this angpao. I think people who understand crypto will consider this options to provide as present.
Bitcoin or other crypto may be a  good alternatives as your relatives or friends can do receive present without any actual contacts.

You can also put bitcoin in angpao. Not only money you can also put you can put it also like jewelry there's so many other you can put. Like bitcoin just put your bitcoin wallet address in a paper then put it inside the angpao so she or he can claim the bitcoins.

I can wait to see that precious bitcoin gift, i have for my lovely one's on 25th of December. I will gether all my friends to impact them about bitcoin, and how it work before start sharing the bitcoin gift to them which is very important.
I think after impacting them concerning bitcoin they will now know how good and reliable bitcoin is to humality in the society.
Many that really understand BTC,will really appriciate because they know it very well that it can help them to purchase anything they want to buy for the christmas.

Giving a Christmas gift is very special to a person who can receive it. And giving a bitcoin as a gift is a great idea to spread the news that there is a bitcoin exist in crypto space and it could be a way to teach bitcoin to others. But of course, many people still didn't know about it so maybe mush better to give a gift with a symbol of bitcoin and once they ask what is the meaning and importance of that symbol then that is your very special chance to open up to them about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

When Christmas comes everyone, especially the kids, hopes to get a special gift on Christmas Eve, and I can't imagine if they get a Bitcoin gift by scanning the barcode on the blockchain application on their cellphone, and they will be happy to get it. and smile, but it is necessary. special knowledge to explain its functions and uses so as not to be misused.

I agree as bitcoin is still not applicable to some people or kids these days. A lot of people do not know what is bitcoin or do not know how to use bitcoin even until today. Even in some countries where technology is limited people in that country are not exposed to bitcoin and the value it. But I think it makes sense in the future as kids these days do not understand the value of bitcoin because they are not investors or don't have the knowledge on bitcoin. As people continue to adopt in cryptocurrency and bitcoin I think I could see bitcoin as a way of a gift at Christmas because it was just the same value as fiat money. I think we could say that it is the futuristic way to send your gift at Christmas.

You can use paper wallets or put some coins in a digital wallet.
This idea is also very good and can make the culture of using bitcoin more understandable to the community.
It also makes the use of bitcoin more understandable to the people of the community that bitcoin can even be used as a birthday present.

[Chrystora123]

it feels like we've gone through the last 9 months quickly and the month of Christmas is coming soon..  I saw you planning something nice for your family by giving them a Christmas present.  you can try to make chocolate with the Bitcoin logo (you can order it at a chocolate shop or make it yourself because the tutorial is already on youtube) or you can also make a Christmas gift with a wrapper in the shape of the Bitcoin logo but in it, you give them something nice like clothes or favorite items from each of your family..

[ChrisPop]

What I can think of is a ORIGAMI-styled paper wallet with Christmas motives or just a carton-made with xmas drawings would make a great gift IMO.
To add to this gift I would prepare a beginner-friendly ppt or pdf presentation/guide or maybe some tutorial on how to buy something with bitcoin. Be creative - create a treasure hunt or a game. e.g. If you buy a shirt with bitcoin you will be able to unlock the riddle, smth like that.

[bitbunnny]

The time is flying and here we go again, talking about Bitcoin and Christmas. Seems that some also expect that Santa will bring Bitcoin price pump as a present but I don't think this will happen this year.
Anyway, I think that Bitcoin is suitable present for someone who is already familiar with it and knows how to handle it. It's not good for your kids or grandparents.
