Friends Give Me BTC as Birthday give

[buwaytress]

Just read pooya87's comment and it warms my heart like no other. I can happily share that I've had the pleasure of sending people their first coins as well, some paper (including two kids, one who famously lost it and I remind him quite a bit haha, but sadly) but mostly digital, I like giving them their seed in parts or puzzle they later assemble.

But I never forget my actual first one was a gift. 100 bits (that was how it was sent) gifted with the only condition I open my own (self-custodial) wallet. I knew there was testnet and I did that too but nothing comes close to spending the real thing for the first time.

I've since hoped to always pass that good gesture onwards.

Happy birthday and wish you many more years with good health and more bitcoin in your wallet. Your friends are really great, you should be very proud to have friends that are caring like. I believe you will definitely want to hold the coin and you won't sell it because is a gift from friends, the best thing you should do now is that you should transfer the coin from your kucoin account to your non custodial wallet address and try to hold it.

Today was my birthday. I just came home 3 hours ago. It was really late at night, but a party was organised for me. By the way, thanks to my friends who gave me this special birthday. But I was most surprised when I saw they gave me a birthday card and asked me to open it. When I opened it, I saw an email and password were written. And the account was a Kucoin account. Then I logged in and I saw there was $93 worth of bitcoin. And when I asked them about it, they said "this is a gist from five people. Four give 20 each and one gives $15, but because of the price volatility, it becomes $93. Though I didn't ask about the amount, I asked them what they did. Because I have been helping them learn about bitcoin for the last 15 days, and they have already made their first investment with me. This feeling is really something special for me. Literally, this is something special. And this birthday will be really memorable for me. My life's first bitcoin gift was on my birthday. 
Do you guys have any memories of something like this? If you want, you can share that, and if you also give them any surprise, please share that too, so that I can get a better idea of what to give them. 

Happy Birthday, mate . It's really good that your friend gave you bitcoin as a Birthday gift, It is really very impressive. But I don't know why people don't use non-custodial wallets when they gift crypto to other people. I've seen some other posts like this and every time they used an exchange or custodial wallets. we should have to practice using noncustodial wallets or hardware wallets, exchanges accounts are not safe at all. they can ask your KYC anytime and there is a high chance to lose the gifted amount.

Belated happy b-day pal!
Receiving a bitcoin on my birthday isnt still happening but i dont really expect that much  since not all people around me does know that im dealing with crypto even with my closest friend or even
my family members but i do somehow picture out the thing on where you do get surprised by your friends even though its not that a big amount but still much appreciated.
Bitcoin or crypto could really fit out on being given as a gift but of course it does really need for someone to have at least some idea or knowledge of it so that it would be
appreciated by someone.

Thank you so much to everyone who has sent me a message and shared their stories with me.This really feels great to me. Though some of you share that you still haven't gotten gifts in bitcoin yet. But I hope you will get it soon. And one person I saw say that he gifted 0.01 bitcoin to his girlfriend. It's really appreciated.

Happy birthday and best wishes to you.

When I opened it, I saw an email and password were written. And the account was a Kucoin account.

I'd like to criticize this a little. Why use a centralized exchange account to give away bitcoin? It is so much better to give away paper wallets containing a private key that has bitcoin in it.

 

And I saw some of you were complaining about why they gave me a Kucoin account. What am I teaching them? Actually, I already mentioned that they started it about one week ago. So they just learned the basics. And because of the ban on bitcoin in our country, they bought it on p2p. And I am surprised that they can buy bitcoin. That was more surprising to me. And I hope you guys say something about paper wallets. I hope that in the future, I will gift them or they will gift me. I will teach about it, but not now because they are in basic lessons still.
 
And again, thanks to everyone.

I'm happy for you about that unforgettable birthday memory. Yeah I had one unforgettable birthday memory. 6 or 7 years ago no one remembered my birthday    I've been celebrating everyone's birthday since then. Cause I know this feeling too well.

Happpppyyy Birthday to youuu my friend I wish you will have unforgettable life with your relatives and friends

[uneng]

I can imagine how special and joyful this surprise was. Your friends were very kind and generous to you when rewarding a portion of btc for your birthday. Since you are who introduced them to crypto, they must be very satisfied with all the lessons you taught them so far.

Keep doing the best for those who enter your life and you will keep being blessed more and more each new day!

It’s sure,I am also going to wish you,Happy birthday O.P.If you get bitcoin as a birthday gift,it will be best gift for you.Because the bitcoin gift will not same after few years.Increase and increase to huge value.If you had a habit of holding your birthday gifts for longer as memories,it was sure you will get happy twice then now.When you get bitcoin as a gift.

The amount is not that big but it is the thought that matters here. They appreciate his assistance to them and in return, he got his reward in the form of bitcoin also. So long you are making a difference with your life, you will be happy and satisfied. Rewards such as money is just a bonus. What matters most, is you help somebody to the best of your ability.

Thank you soo much everyone who wishes me here.

Congratulations to you because you are so lucky.You received Bitcoin as a birthday present from your friends.I have never received such a gift from anyone till date. Your friends are very nice and and updated.

[yazher]

It would have been so good if you keep the amount in your wallet outside the exchanges a separate wallet where you are able to freely move it whenever you want. I think to make it more memorable, just keep it and let it be there for the next 10 to 20 years so it will create some good history in your crypto journey. Kudos to your friends for giving you not just some gifts but a memory that you will never forget.

Happy Birthday mate , While i want you to enjoy your birthday party and  of course the gift that symbolize your being a crypto user coz even your circle of friends are bitcoin users.

Now what i want you to do as it is not that safe to keep funds in centralized exchange , why not transfer that funds in your decentralized wallet so you will keep your funds safe if willing to keep long term holding.

Again congrats for receiving Bitcoin as gift because I have never received something like that till now.

[Fundamentals Of]

I'm greeting you a belated happy birthday! May you have many more birthdays to come and Bitcoins to own!

I was surprised that you are teaching your friends to learn more about Bitcoin and yet your first Bitcoin came from them. That's a little funny story. But isn't it great to have friends like that? They're so thoughtful.

But having Bitcoin in an account created by someone else and whose password is also known by other people, it is best that you withdraw them to a wallet under your exclusive control. I think you also need to share this very important reminder to your friends.

Congrats on the free bitcoin and happy birthday, that’s really awesome of your friends to do that for you! I’ve taught a lot of people about bitcoin over the years but I don’t think any of them have paid me any gifts back in bitcoin, though I’ve certainly gotten gifts in crypto collectibles from buddies before, just for having awesome friends

Happy birthday again. 21 is a big day, I spent mine drinking heavily and puking lol

[Mauser]

Happy birthday Mate. Sounds like you had an awesome party.

So far I haven't received any crypto currencies for my birthday from friends or family. Within my family I am the only one who owns cryptos. My parents are too old to invest money in cryptos, they are already struggling to control their cell phones. My uncle and my cousin are both very interested in cryptos but don't have a lot of money to invest in. I am thinking about giving my cousin a wallet for his birthday this year with some Bitcoins and ETH coins. From my friends I have some who invested in cryptos but are just HODL investors and not a lot of money invested.

Belated Happy birthday to you man and you got really nice friends who care for your future by giving you something useful instead of these materialistic articles that won't last long.They have given you btc as birthday gift which is best present you would ever get and i have not experienced anything like that before.So thinking of having some friends like that  but still keep them safe by taking out from exchange to cold storage Wallets for long run.

[Oasisman]

Kinda late but happy birthday!
The gift was a double surprise in my opinion.
First, you got to have a blessing by receiving additional fractions of Btc. And second, I guess they have learned and applied what you have taught about Bitcoin in the last 15 days.
However, the next thing you should teach them is to avoid storing Bitcoin in a centralised or custodial wallets, they could've used Electrum for the gift if you taught them anyway.

[Scaterbrainn]

That’s new! Now, people have started giving bitcoin as gifts, which shows how advanced we have become as a society. You should keep your gift in a cold storage wallet where it will impossible for hackers to hack and steal it.

[ethereumhunter]

Although it is late, congratulations to you for the gift and hopefully, you can use it for your own benefit and make a profit. I do not have an experience like you because almost half of my friends do not know bitcoin and do not want to learn bitcoin for now. But I have already given some satoshi to some friends as an introduction and hopefully, they are interested in knowing more about bitcoin.

[rby]

Happy birthday mate, congratulations for your bitcoin gift. I will confess that you have a very good circle of friends. It is because you have introduced your friends in crypto that is why they have to appreciate you in such a manner by buying you bitcoin.

People are complaining about his friends using a custodial wallet as kucoin for the gift. I do not see a problem with that. It was a gift and they used what they understood at that time for the gift. OP can decide to transfer the bitcoin to his non custodial wallet. It will not cost him much.

Congratulations to you, you are lucky to have known bitcoin at your early age.
