Gifting my little sister with Ethereum for her birthday

[cheezcarls]

Her birthday was just a few days ago, and I was thinking in doing something different. She already knows that I am into cryptocurrency for a long while, and she was also exploring it recently. I was asking her if she would like some Ethereum as a gift for her birthday, and she never hesitated to say yes! However, she didn't expect the amount that I've sent her.

She was expecting way less, but I sent her $100 worth of Ethereum (+$6 in gas fees) and she was all smiles thanking me for it. For me, it's such a great feeling to give her something like that, as I love her very much.

What such sweet brother you are. Congratulations to your sister for owning her first Ethereum as an investment. And also, happy birthday to her.
I hope that she'll be able to hold it until it reaches new heights in the future.

Happy birthday to her and you are a nice brother, it is good that you remembered her birthday and giving her $ 100 Ethereum is evidence of your love for her because Ethereum is one of the best currencies and this amount may double after years if she hold it.

[GrosWesh]

A nice gift you made to your sister 

Even if nothing is ever certain (especially in crypto !!) , Ethereum still has an enormous potential and this gift you made to your little sister  could (maybe ?) provide her a providential help in several years.

This is what I wish you !

That is a heartwarming story. I give presents to the people I care about all the time but I am just waiting for the day when they become interested in crypto so I can give them that. Usually I buy people gifts with bitcoin or gift cards purchased with bitcoin and then a few weeks later the price pumps and the amount I spent on their gift is worth a lot more. This is why sometimes it is just better to give them crypto directly.

Bitcoin can be used for gifts, Valentine's gifts, shopping marketing, etc. in all countries where Bitcoin goes directly.  But sadly bitcoin is officially banned in our country so I can't pay via bitcoin on my sister's birthday even though I have a strong desire.

Happy birthday to your sister! And she is very lucky to have a brother like you.    You say that she newly started to do a research about the cryptocurrencies. And this should be a good opportunity for her to make an investment in a cryptocurrency.

Why not let her install an electrum wallet and send some bitcoins to her? Maybe in few years time, it is not anymore banned in your country, and the bitcoin's price will be already high. So even if she can't use it today, she can store it for future purposes.

This is a very commendable act from you to your sister; and believe me she is going to remember this for a very long time to come; not only was that a gift, you have also showed her the truth that the blockchain, crypto currency and decentralized finance are the future; and she would also tell her friends; one way or the other, you have been a good ambassador to crypto currency adoption lol.

Did she later asked to find out about etherum and its likes? Also, can you make a card about the happy moment and draft out an art to be an NFT ? it would be so natural.

It's good that you are exposing your little sister to blockchain and new technologies. But make sure you teach her the basics. Teach her how to keep her wallet secure. Tell her to always backup her wallet no matter how many coins she has in it. Even if its dust, tell her to create backups. Remember, those dusts might be worth thousands of dollars after few years. Make her aware of all probable frauds and scams . Tell her not to fall for those FUDs and FOMOs. Finally, hodl (is not everything and very toxic. Tell her to sell if she wants to sell).

A good way to give her the ethereum, is by giving her a physical birthday card with the QR with the private key.

This is how will she learn to scan and move the coins to her wallet.

You can also write a wish!

What a sweet story from siblings relationship seems I was reading a novel right now, lol.
From your story, it shows she has a bit of interest in the cryptocurrency space. I just hope she won't hesitate to ask or consult the things to you if she wanna put her money in any crypto projects, ofc it would be best if you could give the advice before she asks. On top of that, you supposed to teach her the basics of how to save & protect her cryptos and not being fooled by any scam attempts out there.

Anyway, happy birthday to your sister

Who don’t like money as a gift here? and through cryptocurrency, that money will increase more as the market continues to go up especially ETH. You’re so sweet and I’m also hoping for my sisters to do the same thing for me, they are into trading and they successful so far, free money as gift is great, i can’t decline on this as well.

Cool bro, of course, if she knows that you are in crypto, then it's a worth to received such gifts from you. Maybe this is just the starting point of her explorer crypto. Question though, what not bitcoin?

She was expecting way less, but I sent her $100 worth of Ethereum (+$6 in gas fees) and she was all smiles thanking me for it. For me, it's such a great feeling to give her something like that, as I love her very much.

$100 worth fo Ethereum is huge already in our country, and I wasn't expecting you to gift her with that huge amount.

[agustina2]

Since your sister was in the process of exploring the things about crypto, then it's a good start that you give some ETH to her as part of his learning.

Hope with that ETH you have sent her, it will make room for her improvements in crypto. And if lucky, she might rewarded you a ETH in return in the future.

[Rengga Jati]

Nice experience by sharing your cryptocurrency with your sister. However, you need to still look at how your sister uses the ETH. Although the eth is hers right now, maybe it is better for you also to let her know about what's better to do and digging for more information about cryptocurrency, especially Ethereum, trading, or investment.
Yeah, crypto is something little but complex, not only about having a coin but also should know what to do and what not to do because we all know that crypto is full of risks, although we can also get high profits from it.

But once more, HBD for your sister, and let's spread more about crypto to the world

It surely surprises her and appreciate it that much. It is a rare gift (for now)but soon this becoming common if we are fully engaged in crypto and when we can spend crypto anywhere. I have a plan to do that as well but I realize that person that we're going to receive has no knowledge about crypto, so it is possible that she will not be going to happy.

Sending a gift to someone we love and sees that he/she is happy, is really a great pleasure.

Happy birthday to your sister, it is nice for one to think of a special and different gift for the birthday of his sister whom he loves, this is a different kind of gift indeed, I am sure that she was very happy with this gift.
I remember the first crypto gift I saw was to two Turkish brides, where the groom gave his bride 1 BTC on the occasion of their marriage, the bitcoin value at that time was about $ 6000, I think, I do not remember exactly, but it was an expensive and special gift.

[acener]

What a great gift and I think she really appreciates it now she could start her crypto journey.
Hope she could make it grow and learn to handle her money well,
Good thing that she is into crypto before you sent her that gift.

[Gozie51]

Nice idea to do a gift of crypto to a love one. Reading through your story I was thinking the person you wanted to gift to does not understand crypto because the person may not value it but the very good news is that she understands and already into cryptocurrency. That is nice and congrats to your sister, wishing her more joy and happiness plus more hodling for greater profit in the future.

She already knows that I am into cryptocurrency for a long while,

However, I was thinking you will gift her at least 5 Ethereum   because you said you have been into crypto for long and that means you could own maybe part of bitcoin , altccoins especially erc20 tokens.
