what is your reason for gifting bitcoin

[Mr.right85]

If $300 worth of bitcoin is given to someone who doesn't have a job and have been looking for opportunity to invest in bitcoin.  Will it be possible for the person to focus on this investment without selling at the moment because of the present financial situation. I'm asking this question because of people who wish to gift bitcoin to people who are going through difficult financial challenge,  is there any need to give bitcoin as gift to people who need money to settle urgent financial problems.

How do you settle financial problems by holding bitcoin?
Like, from what you've stated in OP, the issues is an immediate challenge that needs to be settled urgently. How then would you do that by holding your bitcoin? It just doesn't work.

The best you might have archived by gifting someone bitcoin to solve immediate financial challenge is, you've offered money to solve a problem and you did that in the easiest or quick way possible to you and possibly the receiver.

When it comes to reasons as to why people might gift bitcoin, it will always vary from persons to persons and aside from the fact that, the currency here is bitcoin, it is the same as every other gift. The difference remains in its nature.

Well if the person that you are going to gift bitcoin hasn't had a job, then what are the chances that he won't sell it after you give it to him?

So I will be on the fence here, although your intention is good, but he might be tempted in the future to sell it to bring food in the table for him and for his family, just saying.

Or bitcoin should only be given to those who can truly invest and yield profits.  Can you gift bitcoin to random people who may not make profit from it.

Again, it really depends on the individual, if the person knows a thing or two about investment then maybe he will treat bitcoin as such. But if the one that you gifted see bitcoin as money, then he might not hold for a long time.

Bitcoin may not be the best option when it comes to helping someone out of a tough situation. While it ultimately depends on the individual, in many cases, they may choose to sell it, especially if they are not interested in Bitcoin. And, in some cases, they might not know how to go about it.

There are other ways to support a friend, family member, or loved one who is struggling. It may not be as flashy as sending them a lump sum of dollars, but it can make more of a difference in their lives. But, if you are looking to help someone out and give them some money, there are plenty of other options that may be better suited for their needs. For example, if the person is having trouble paying their bills and needs help with utilities or rent, cash is always a great option.

Once the gift have reached the receiver's hands it belongs to him. Further it is his choice whether to use it for some need or hold it. We should not take it to mind. If you find a friend is in difficulty you may help him with bitcoin or some financial settlement. Here you can give suggestion to make use of the money in the right way and don't spend it unnecessary. The money you've given is yours and you're giving it to help him and overcome the situation. When he turns strong he's gonna repay it and a gift isn't the same.

El Salvador did something like that to introduce their citizens to bitcoin when they launched a 30$ worth of BTC giveaway and as result, most people simply cashed out the funds from bitcoin into fiat to use it as they wished. So it's safe to assume most people are just going to cashout the gift you send them to spend it in fiat, although the smart ones who want to take full advantage of bitcoin's potential will hold it thinking on long term returns.

To give free large chunks of money isn't a good way to incentivize bitcoin adoption due to El Salvador's example, which shows us the currently common sense mindset of the people in the world regards investments and bitcoin.

the average would probably do the same thing, cashing in bitcoins to fiat, whereas the main purpose of being given bitcoins is for them to understand what bitcoins are and how to use them. Education is needed before giving bitcoin to people who have never used bitcoin or are new to bitcoin. Tell about greater returns in the long term. Giving a gift that is too big will indeed be risky, but it depends on who the recipient is. To encourage bitcoin adoption to become more widespread, there is no need to give away too many bitcoins, the most important thing is how education about bitcoin can be conveyed and can make brands inspired and finally use bitcoin.

I believe it will be difficult for someone who is truly in need of money to hold bitcoin, why would you need money and you are having bitcoin in your wallet, and not sell it? I believe if the person truly needs money, he or she will sell it and use the money.

Assume the person you gave the bitcoin to is suffering from some health issues and does not have the financial means to visit a hospital. If you give the person bitcoin, he or she will certainly sell it to take care of himself.
Nonetheless, some people will hunt for alternatives and will never sell bitcoin, but I believe it depend on everyone's thinking and the situation in which they find themselves.

When you do tend to gift someone then its up to them whether they would be using or cashing it out or would be tending to hold no matter what.You should not make yourself that tending to involved on whatever they would go into your gift but if your purpose was to make someone learn about bitcoin or crypto opportunity then it would be good that you would really be at least having the time on explaining it to them on what they had recieved and if they do still decide to sell then there's nothing we can do.

Whom you would decide to give some bitcoin gifts btw? Random people or some friends?

[Zorigi]

if we provide assistance in the form of bitcoins to someone who is unemployed, it is very likely that these bitcoins will be sold because he definitely needs costs to live on a daily basis, because what he needs most is a job that guarantees he can earn an income. meet their daily needs.

[dansus021]

There is always be two theories in your case
The first one
The person to you have gifted the bitcoin will sell right away to get hard cash and forget about it.
The second one
Will try to understand what the bitcoin is although he might test it out to sell some of it. and reinvest.

I mean if I were you I will give to someone who doesn't have a job and have been looking for opportunity to invest in bitcoin and tell them the basic I do believe he/she will reinvest and make the 300$ worth

Using Bitcoin as a gift for me is more likely we are introducing Bitcoin to other people like advertising because let's say if you give a gift to a person who doesn't know Bitcoin, he/she will become curious and that's the time they will research what is Bitcoin, how it works, etc. Or even they will start to keep asking questions about Bitcoin to you which for me is a good act of promoting Bitcoin to other people.

[xSkylarx]

Whether they have financial difficulty or not, you can still gift bitcoin to anyone, but you don't expect from them that they can make a profit from it easily, as others are still learning bitcoin and how they can make more from it, and others also just hold it for a long period of time. It is just that if you gift it to a jobless person, the possibility of him using it is high as he needs money to spend for his needs, unless he is very wise and will invest or like trade it to make it more

There's nothing wrong in helping others. In this case, you want to give Bitcoin to somebody that doesn't have a job and want to use Bitcoin to settle their financial problems right? It's good, but there's a better option for that and it's kind off contradicting that you said on your first sentence that "someone want to invest into Bitcoin" while in the final sentence, you said that someone will use Bitcoin "to settle urgent financial matters". Which is which?

If you will giving that $300 worth of Bitcoin to somebody and decided to hold it then good, but if you will give $300 worth of Bitcoin to somebody and then he will just use it for financial problems then it might be better if you will just give him straight cash. No hassle of converting and cashing out etc.

Bitcoin can be given to anyone without any discrimination whatsoever. You can give Bitcoin to a beggar on the side of the street waiting for anybody to give them money. You can give it to your children if you wanted to. Why hand-pick somebody? It will now depend on the receiver if how will he use that Bitcoin. Will he convert that Bitcoin and buy some stuff? Will he hold it and take profit a few years from now?

Given the situation that this someone has no job, I don't think he can refrain from selling because of his financial status. Without any resources to earn money aside from Bitcoin you gave for investment then it would be hard to focus. Moreover since he got his Bitcoin as gift and not from his own hard work, it's a reason for someone to sell it easily.

Well, this depends on the sender.  If you like to share your Bitcoin then it's up to you because you can give it to anyone as your way to help someone or spread awareness regardless of what they're going to do with the Bitcoin you gave as gift.

Maybe it's worth giving to someone looking for an opportunity to make money so they can put it to good use but they have a lot to learn about how to use those bitcoins.
But if bitcoin worth of that is going to be used as an investment, I think that person will look for other sources of income because he needs money to live.
It would be even better if that person wants to learn more about investing in bitcoin to understand and benefit from the investment.
But I don't think I would give bitcoins to random people who maybe don't know much about them because they can't get the benefits yet.

[microsurfer]

I can gift bitcoins only for myself. Others will not understand that gift

[TheUltraElite]

Gifting bitcoin seems like a noble thing to do but this is not that easy as it sounds. The person whom you are gifting may not understand the importance of Bitcoin, may not live in a country which allows bitcoin to be spent or maybe against bitcoin.

You would first have to get these things cleared with the recipient before you send them anything at all.

Those who are actually interested in Bitcoin would rather buy it directly then hope for someone to gift it to them.

[Ptb73]

There is probably no definite answer to this question.

I wouldn't give bitcoin to a person who doesn't care about it and who doesn't even have a clue what it is.

You mentioned that a person is going through a difficult financial situation, so I think he will just sell this bitcoin. Then why complicate it, just give him the money.

[wiss19]

Yes of course, because it's already mentioned that he is looking forward to investing in Bitcoin but we all have the same reason on why we invest in Bitcoin and that is because for the profit so in case the price shoots up right after you gift the Bitcoin, your friend might still be encourage of selling some portions of the BTC if not all. This is better than completely missing the opportunity because you know a bull run can sometimes be elusive.

At the end of the day, it was still up to you if what rules you are going to apply to your friend because it was still your money not his. Also, It will be better if you can give a little amount of BTC and give a portion of cash assistance so that those people won't touch their BTC for a while.

Gifts are good, especially when they are given from a place of love. And bitcoin serves as the perfect gift for people who fall into the following categories: 1) probitcoiners without bitcoin 2) those who would love to invest but do not have enough bitcoin. In the example given by the OP, gifting someone who has no experience in bitcoin trading or investing $300 worth of bitcoin is like giving a 2023 Bentley Bentayga EWB to a child. What do you expect a 4-year-old kid to do with it? If I were able to gift $300 worth of bitcoin to a novice, I would spend $150 teaching the individual how to turn $150 into $300 with bitcoin. When I have achieved this objective, I will go further to instruct the individual on diversification of portfolio or investments.

[HajiBagi]

For the unemployed, giving them $300 won't solve their problem because the investment can't generate an immediate return or will always provide them with a return. While what they need is daily living expenses, so I think they will sell bitcoin if you give it to them. If you are really willing to help them, you should first find them a job that generates income, then talk to him about investing and give him some initial capital if you are rich.

Nice speaking, I believe that giving someone who is in need of money to settle their financial problems a job first is the best way to help, because not everyone knows about bitcoin and understands it, and he or she may be scammed in such a way, and the dumplings of bitcoin and its market may also affect, so my opinion here is that you should rather give money and a job to someone in need of money to solve their problems.
