I want to surprise a friend

[lionheart78]

Is Bitcoin a perfect birthday present for a 25 years old college student? I want to surprise a friend, he is facing a lot of challenges due to his studies and he likes Bitcoin but can't afford investing money because of his studies since he is sponsoring himself, we've been together since 2011 and his birthday is on 27th of this month, do you think 0.03BTC is a cool present 🎁 for a birthday.

The bolded part will make it a perfect birthday present for your friend.  

Would you love to accept Bitcoin as a Birthday Gift?

Well, anyone will love Bitcoin as a Birthday gift even if a person doesn't like Bitcoin, he can just turn it into cash.  In short, gifting a person money is one of the better gifts now a day since unlike stuff, money is very flexible to have.  You can save it, buy things you like from it, invest it, or whatever you wanted.  You can even gift it to another person regardless of age, gender, and preference.

Although giving money as a birthday gift isn't standard practice, if your friend loves Bitcoin, that would be the ideal option. I think giving your friend Bitcoin instead of something else will make him or her very delighted. Seeing his situation in view of your discussion. It still depends on how you want to surprise your friend, though. Yet if someone gave me Bitcoin when I was trying to win it, it would still be a wonderful surprise for me.

[DiMarxist]

I do not think this thread is necessary. You have a friend, he knows about bitcoin, he knows how bitcoin is valuable. Then how will he feel if you give him something valuable like bitcoin? Definitely good.

Yeah! I will be very happy to accept the gift because 0.03BTC is #56000 now, I will use it to start a small business so that I will make a lot of money to sponsor myself in my studies and any other things and to make my family and friends happy.And be come billionaire in town. And surprise my friend who gave me the BTC gift. And I will appreciate him for the gift he gave to me, to be a billionaire today.you are really good and a caring friend.I too will make him happy for making me a rich boy.

Anything you feel like doing to help your friend is good and that will make him see more value in Bitcoin. If he not financially bouyant then you can give him money instead of giving him Bitcoin. All he need now is money to feed himself so if you give him Bitcoin trying to help him have some holdings then he will sell it and feed with it.

0.03 BTC = 743.4 USD (As of this writing)

Who wouldnt want 700+ bucks as a gift.?  You do know on what he do really likes which means that you do already know the answer.Its obviously that he would really get
that surprised and would be happy on your gift. What a good friend he had. This do really adds up more recognition as this would really be creating that
kind of interest to study and learn more about crypto.

Generally I think it's a great idea, however, given the circumstance you are describing your friend in it could be problematic If he is struggling with money currently. He might be tempted to cash out these 0.03 or maybe cash it out within the next bull-run period and then regret it later.
You could look into timelock transactions for Bitcoin, and maybe lock up the BTC for 3 or 5 years to come.
Still, if you have the money to make such a gift, it's always great to introduce someone who doesn't have the capacity to do so by themselves right now.

Given the condition he’s in, OP’s friend will definitely be cashing out at least part of the $700+ to sort his immediate challenges. In the normal sense when you gift someone a something, you give total control of that thing to the person. I don’t think a setting a timelock on the bitcoin is ideal because it may become a turmoil for a person who needs money urgently to take care of his needs.

[Vaskiy]

Surely the friend will enjoy the surprise gift. The friend would never be expecting such a gift and when an unexpected gift is received in the form of what we've been looking for months is a big surprise. I request OP to go for it and post the response from your friend on seeing the birthday gift. Surely this birthday is gonna be unforgettable for him.

0.03 BTC is equivalent to around ~$740 in today's BTC price. Not only your friend would feel ecstatic, but this would definitely give him the inspiration and relief over the problems and conflicts he currently have. Heck, if I received that much BTC, I would definitely be overjoyed with your generosity and kindness!

This kind of donation and gift is something that I would like to receive one day, but I doubt that would happen. My family members are not that familiar with cryptocurrencies given its technicalities. Though that may be the case, I guess the greatest birthday gift that I could ask for is for the price of BTC to increase beyond my initial investments!

[Iroh]

I think this thread is irrelevant. You claim to generously want to gift your friend 0.03BTC. Go ahead and do it. You really don’t need to be nudged on by forum members if you truly want to do it.

You mentioned he likes and is also interested in bitcoin. If he likes and is interested in bitcoin, then perhaps you need more than forum members to convince you that it’s a great gift for your friend.

Would I love to accept bitcoin as a birthday gift?
I would assume that about 90% of members registered on this forum either likes, has, hoping to have or is interested in bitcoin. So I would say your question is redundant.

It depends on the person who would receive it, there are some people who would like to receive money on their Birthdays some would prefer a real present like how it was before.
But you already mention that your friend is into crypto but doesn't have enough money to invest  just on that note you should already know the answer to your question.
Base on your words I think it wouldn't just be money for him it is something that could start up his crypto journey and somehow change shis life.

[sheenshane]

That's a generous gift no one would refuse that amount.

There's no problem with your plan and that's impressive, gift cards or hardware wallet that has Bitcoin inside is a good gift and those who receive them will surely be surprised.  I'm sure your friend will never forget this unique gift of yours, but also an opportunity to dive deeper into the world of crypto and explore many ways in which it can be utilized to enhance their financial portfolio.  Who knows since your friend already had knowledge of Bitcoin, he can able to manage to grow his portfolio through trading.

Well, good luck.

[drwhobox]

That a hefty amount of money if you convert it to us dollars and yes anyone would love to accept bitcoin a gift.
Your friend knows about bitcoin and don't have enough money to buy bitcoin so he would be very happy if you gift him 0.03 bitcoin as a birthday gift. You can order a hard wallet and deposit the bitcoins and gift him that on his birthday. A perfect day for anyone who loves bitcoin.

[Zorigi]

if you want to give a birthday present to your friend, of course there is no problem, especially since he already knows the name bitcoin, so surely he will appreciate it and will definitely feel happy.
and I personally too, if someone wants to give bitcoin as a gift on my birthday, of course I will gladly accept it.

You should consider getting them a funded wallet/cold storage item.  Either maybe like a pre-funded OPENDIME  ( https://opendime.com/ ) , or perhaps something even cooler like a bitcoin collectible.  Basically you can buy a fancy cold storage paper wallet.  Here's a lot with a cool collectible https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5440438.msg61792917#msg61792917 .  These chips are funded with .001BTC each.  Now it's not a lot of bitcoin, but they have a lot of value in collectability and your friend might find them pretty cool (especially if they are a collector or more specifically a coin collector).

[crwth]

Definitely a cool present. 0.03 BTC now is a lot for some people and you would know how much it is important to your friend once you gave it to him. I'm curious about your friend if he knows anything about BTC already and would like to continue and HODL more.

[Charmekkd]

now times have advanced, and if you intend to give bitcoin as a birthday gift to your friend I think this is good progress.
because people rarely give birthday gifts in the form of bitcoins.
and of course your friends will be happy when they receive a hardware wallet containing bitcoins from you.

[Jatiluhung]

Remembering that your friend also wants to invest in bitcoin but as you said he has not been able to invest in bitcoin because of his studies. then of course there is no doubt that your friend will be very happy to receive it. and 0.03BTC is quite a number.
even a person who doesn't know about bitcoin before then accepts bitcoin in this amount then he will be very happy and maybe will turn into a bitcoin lover. because he will remember the happy moment when he received a gift in the form of bitcoin.

it's been a while since I last received a birthday present. maybe when I was little. and I remember that time I received a simple birthday gift. and that makes me very happy.

a birthday gift doesn't matter what it contains, it doesn't matter if it's cheap or whatever. as long as it is given sincerely to us then I think it will make us happy. because I know how it feels like no one at all remembers our birthday. so believe your friends will be touched by what you present. because he will even be moved to tears because you remember his birthday.

Anything at all is a perfect birthday gift as long as it's coming from your heart. Only an ungrateful person would be unsatisfied with the gift that was given to them on their birthday and with what you have said about your friend I think he's going to appreciate the gift but I doubt if he's going to hodl for long judging from the fact that you said he's going through some difficulties due to him sponsoring himself, so it's very likely that he's going to sell the coin but that shouldn't be your business anymore after all it's a gift and he has all right to do whatever pleases him. Btw happy birthday to your friend in advance, I wish him the grace to be successful academically, financially and emotionally.

How many times that there is a post similar to this about giving Bitcoin as a Bday present and the replies mostly the same ,  that who would deny receiving bitcoin(as you mentioned that he already knew about this and love having)?
and also if you are only to accept, no matter what it is then you must be thankful because remember that it is the thought that counts when you receive a gift.
