Bitcoin for Christmas

[Anyobsss]

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..

The pandemic definitely has something to do why it feels that we've gone through 9 months quickly.

To OP, maybe you should try giving a hardware wallet that has 1000 USD (if you have the capability haha) worth of BTC inside. It will definitely pique their interest to why would you put that huge amount in some flash drive looking thing. It will make them interested and search about BTC if it's your intention.

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.

Why might this be bad for children? Usually children are very good at understanding and understanding new technologies.

I think it's a very good idea to give Bitcoin as a Christmas gift, it will make Bitcoin even more popular. At the same time promoting
and educating the people closest to us about Bitcoin. I've also given Bitcoin gifts as Christmas present to family and close friends
since 2018. But I give Bitcoin gifts only to people who already understand Bitcoin, so it can be useful for them. Because those who
understand Bitcoin already know how to spend Bitcoin.

It is logical to give bitcoin to those people who know about bitcoin, but this does not make it more popular. But in any case, this is a great gift for those people who know what bitcoin is and who can use it normally.

Good idea about Christmas gifts using a Hardware wallet containing bitcoins.
This will tell your family or relatives about the technology used by bitcoin, including the hardware wallet. Hardware that has the highest security compared to other wallets.

But before that they also have to provide education about what bitcoin is and how it works so that they won't feel confused. Christmas is a special day, therefore the gifts given must also be special and memorable.

For OP, regardless of the type of Christmas gift given, (in this discussion about bitcoin-themed gifts), it will provide a unique experience for other people, hardware wallets, paper wallets, or bitcoin-themed accessories are only symbolic, the most important thing is how they understand it. and can use bitcoin technology, so that bitcoin will be more popular.

Christmas not give impact anything with bitcoin will going down or up, always pass  Christmas moment bitcoin keep the same price and not give strong how to make bitcoin and altcoin will get party during  Christmas day, maybe not any one will focus with bitcoin during Christmas and keep enjoy their party then invest or hold bitcoin. Waiting next Christmas what happen with bitcoin price later, will on the top price or not giving impact for bitcoin on Christmas day to higher price, nice to know how three months later with bitcoin and altcoin during Christmas get positive side or bitcoin and altcoin will get negative moment.

I suggest give them something that would teach them how to use (make transaction) Bitcoin with a small amount of Bitcoin on a paper wallet.
Guide them on how to make it grow and how to invest in crypto make sure that they would also avoid the scam sites and all the other investment schemes.

[sheryllanka]

the becoming of christmas ,bitcoin is growing up before christmas and more traders will join on bitcoin especially to the investors at a time of pandemic need bitcoin to less onhand contact

[Serious475]

in my country you can send a money to other people with the use of angpao or ampao and this is a traditional gift use by the elders to the children as a gift on Christmas not only in Christmas even on other especial events. Also with this culture they already implemented to the wallet which is the coin.ph and you can easily transfer funds as a gift with a message is this good right?

But I think if the children will receive this they don't have any idea what is the bitcoin and what are the purpose of it
Only it will become valuable to the people knows it.

I always care to present traditional gifts for Christmas to my loved ones. I think gifting bitcoin is not suitable for the spirit of Christmas. Maybe, the underlying reason why I think that way is related to the small number of Christian people living in my country. I am a little bit stranger to the Christmas culture. By the way, it is very pleasing to see this issue discussed, although there is more time until Christmas.

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?

Well, it would be a new and wonderful gift but if they have no idea on what Bitcoin can do, I suggest to stick to more material items. Receiving Bitcoin as a gift is one of the best things ever to people who can appreciate it so you will have that satisfaction of giving.

[bonjouros]

Bitcoin will be very difficult to give as Christmas gift to your love ones especially if they don't have a single idea if what it is but still I am thinking the same even if my family doesn't know much about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies.

Maybe I will consider it as my guide for them to be involve in cryptocurrencies by giving a good amount of bitcoin as Christmas gift but I will not teach them on how to get it instead I  want them to withdraw it by their own so they will surely try to research about how to withdraw bitcoin.

^ Because probably the main reason is they are not crypto enthusiasts and traditional gifts will good to them but if the person who receives bitcoin is a crypto enthusiast then, that is not the reason they will not make happy once they receive bitcoin as a gift. Bitcoin has value like money, no one will probably refuse if someone received worth of million in your national currency to your bitcoin on their wallet address. Christmas for the Christian culture is a way of giving to their loved one and everyone has their own way of giving any valuable or something that can be made them happy.

Soon Christmas will come, If we celebrate Christmas from now on have thought about giving a memorable gift,
especially for someone we love must give the best. And Bitcoin could be the perfect Christmas gift in my opinion.
As well as educating our loved ones to know more about Bitcoin, that way one day we can inherit the Bitcoin we
have to the people we love.

[Initscri]

Make sure that they know what to do with it. Your concept of gift is pretty good. That is the only problem that I can see, whether they know how to use the wallets and use it to spend something.

And also I'd mention make sure your relatives are 1. somewhat technically savvy and 2. somewhat interested in bitcoin (perhaps they mentioned it before)

I wouldn't be surprised to give out Bitcoin to someone who couldn't care less and they end up just throwing it in the garbage because they don't understand it (I'm sure it's happened plenty of times before - regrettably)

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

Your idea isn't bad. But most likely, if they don't know what bitcoin is, (and you don't write inside), you're probably destroying the coins  
If I were you, I would write on a paper the seed phrase (which would be nice if it had "christmas" in it   ) and after I wrapped it, I would write "(Keep it secret and safe!)"

Instead of seed phrase you could simply write the private key on a paper like this:


(You can make these paper wallets on bitaddress.org)

It is nicer than the seed phrase in my opinion. Except from explaining bitcoin, you will have to explain how the seed phrase works as well...

If I remember correctly, someone had sent 1BTC to Bill Gates back in 2012-13? What a waste of time money  

*[All I want for christmas is bitcoin]*

I believe a paper wallet is one of the best gifts to give to a friend who is also into cryptocurrency and bitcoin as a Christmas gift because my friend also gave me one of these as a birthday present with bitcoins inside it. You can also provide a friend a collectible bitcoin and other coins that you can find one on eBay and other online shopping sites.

I might send Angpao like what I used to during christmas. Good thing our local bitcoin wallet has this features wherein you can surprise your loved ones using Angpao.

Well Christmas is approaching but the virus is not gone yet. I just hope this coming Christmas everything went back to normal so we (specially the kids) can enjoy the holiday season without worrying about any virus that can infect them.

[nicecrypto]

Hope the loved ones to whom you intend to gift btc as present have any knowledge about btc, because gifting btc is one thing and being able to use it (rather than keeping it as part of collectibles) is another thing, if for example you decide to gift btc using paper wallet will they be able to use it or you will attach instruction along side on how to use it? maybe you should first think about this.

[The cure]

That's a nice idea, we always wanted something really special and unique for our loved ones. But maybe if we choose to do that we need to teach them well on how to use it and take care of it because it might just be wasted if they refused to use it.
Maybe it depends on the person we will give it to, if they have any interest in bitcoin, then go for it but if they don't then just give them a traditional Angpao.

Giving gifts in the form of bitcoin at Christmas is a dream of many people. But you have to make sure that what you are giving the prize understands at least bitcoin. So as not to fail. And the surprise you give will be very memorable.
