Bitcoin gift to wife on wedding.

[hZti]

I don't understand how people here can be this negative about gifting bitcoin. Yes it is usually not the easiest to convert bitcoin back into fiat if you don't know what you are doing, but if you get somebody bitcoin the will have a huge incentive to figure that out. For that reason I would recommend to gift only a small amount in bitcoin and not the whole amount. Simply generate a paper wallet for that and redeem like this:

Obtain a digital wallet: Choose a reputable cryptocurrency wallet that supports the specific cryptocurrency stored in your paper wallet.
Install and set up the wallet: Download and install the chosen wallet software or app. Follow the instructions to set up a new wallet account.
Access the wallet's "Import" or "Add Funds" feature: Locate the option within your wallet to import or add funds from an external source.
Import the private key: Depending on the wallet, you will have different methods to import the private key from your paper wallet. It may involve scanning a QR code if available, manually typing the private key, or using an import feature specifically designed for paper wallets.
Confirm the import and balance: Once the private key is successfully imported, the wallet should display the balance associated with the paper wallet address. Verify that the balance matches your expectations.
Transfer funds if desired: If you wish to move the funds from the paper wallet to another address or exchange, use the wallet's "Send" or "Transfer" function to initiate a transaction. Enter the recipient's address and the amount you want to send, then follow the prompts to complete the transaction.

Thank you all very much. everyone gave me a lot of good advice. Many people say don't gift your wife bitcoins. Anyway after marriage I will give my wife a good idea about Bitcoin. If he understands, I will consider giving away half of my investment in bitcoins. And I'll ask my wife if she's happy with Bitcoin.
Thank you all.

If you really think that your wife is going to appreciate such a thoughtless gift like Bitcoin, you are totally wrong. Liquidate the Bitcoin and get something that would be special to her.

I am all for giving Bitcoin as gifts to people where cash would also be appropriate, like birthdays, christmas, and holidays like this...but on a wedding? Really man? The same thing is saying "here is some cash go and buy bitcoin". The only difference is that you bought it. It's a terrible idea and I don't think you should do it unless you want to potentially upset your wife off with a gift that is so thoughtless and non-personal.

She will not appreciate it if she didn't use bitcoin nor participate on any activaty which involve bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Much really better to liquidate that and buy all what he like since physical gifts are most appreciated by girls. I really appreciate those guys trying to involve their wife on Bitcoin so maybe they should see first if our wife is interested to learn about it and teach her if he's really willing to take a risk also ready to get stress on market activity.

Think of it this way, if you want to involve your wife in something that is still illegal in your country, that's not a very good move. You may cause problems and it may affect your relationship, because it depends on how your wife sees this as an investment or an asset. You didn't mention any views on your wife, so it might not be as good as we hoped.

Maybe invest your money from your bitcoins into something memorable for you and your wife. It would make a better wedding gift than bitcoin itself.

From the looks, OP said bitcoin is illegal in their country and possibly op is doing bitcoin trading or investment in secret way so the government can not come for OP. If OP would say that he would gift his wife as a surprise gift then it is assumed that OP wife is not aware OP does bitcoin trading and possibly she does not know much or anything about bitcoin.  I think if OP does not do the needful by educating his wife about bitcoin then I think his wife might definitely not know the importance and value attached to bitcoin and would definitely not care about the gift.
OP can invest for his wife on bitcoin then possibly buy a gift for his wife while he keeps  the bitcoin investment a secret from his wife and concentrate on teaching her to know and broaden her knowledge about bitcoin before giving her the surprise bitcoin gift.
That would be very much romantic OP.

You are a student as well as a bitcoin holder so it is appreciable and also you desires to find a good job which implies that you don't depend on bitcoin completely which is also a good feature.

I think that you should give your wife a gift which she knows well, bitcoin is famous asset but all females are not aware of it and if your wife does not know about bitcoin she will consider it as a useless thing.

one cannot understand the benefits of bitcoin quickly, it will take time so I will suggest that give another wedding gift to your wife and if you want to make her bitcoin holder then first teach him about it after that she will easily understand the value of bitcoin.

[Woodie]

I would have easily said not the perfect gift for a wife!

But then again, we can not profile every wife to be in this bracket as everyone has their own unique interests, habits, likes  and what not...and Bitcoin being a type of money this wouldn't be a bad gift for the tech savvy women, unlike those that are just into posh cars ,clothes, diamonds etc
But in this time and age its unfortunate most still do not not know what this is all about, but it should be worth a try to see if the women know about cryprocurrencies such as Bitcoin 

[Cling18]

If your future wife is into cryptocurrency, she will surely be grateful of your gift but if she's clueless about it and still got no idea about Bitcoin works especially if it's illegal in your country, you better buy her something that will surely catch her interest. Bitcoin is actually a good present idea but not everyone will appreciate it, to be honest.
Before I got married, me and my husband were already into the crypto industry but we didn't touch our Bitcoin investment until now. We had our assets shared and we had a co-ownership on it. However, not all women are into crypto unless you would educate your girlfriend as early as possible about the importance of Bitcoin investment so if you'll give Bitcoin as a wedding present, she'll know how to handle it. If you are having doubts, better give her something that she can treasure and value wholeheartedly as a woman.

You may consider gifting her Bitcoin, if you're looking for a unique and forward-thinking gift. While it may not be the traditional choice, if your wife is tech-minded and values financial goals and interests, she definitely appreciate such a gift.

Of course, it's true that many women enjoy gifts like clothes, gold, or jewelry ornaments, but ultimately it's the sentiment and thought behind a gift that matter most.

Although I still studied, I invested a small amount in Bitcoin. I will get married if I get a good job. Many people give many things to their wives as wedding gifts, I have a different plan. I am planning to gift bitcoin to my wife on her wedding day. Bitcoin is still illegal in my country so I invested with caution. On my wedding day I want to gift half of my investment to my wife.
Should I gift bitcoin to my wife? I want your advice

Women are very emotional, will she be able to cope with the market volatility? Another question is that will she be able to handle losses and did she understand what bitcoin is all about? I assume you know that women want show off, they will tell their friends the surprises they had from their husband, they also like show off and want to make her friends, if you are buying her Bitcoin, I will advice you do in small quantity so she doesn't cry later that her investment has crash; Women will always be women and they can get emotional at slight time if she get to see that her yesterdy $10k has been reduced by value.

Bitcoin as a gift should be given to someone who asks for it. Maybe in one of your conversations your wife mentioned wanting Bitcoin as a gift then great,  it's likely that she knows about Bitcoin. But in the situation where she doesn't know anything about Bitcoin, then refrain from gifting her Bitcoin. In terms of giving gifts you should know that whatever gifts you are giving in Bitcoin should be an amount you can afford to lose. Right?

I assume you know that women want show off, they will tell their friends the surprises they had from their husband, they also like show off and want to make her friends,

Why do you think women can’t cope with the market volatility. And I think men are as emotional as women but are better at hiding their emotions so as not to be classified as weak or soft.
I see no reason why the OP can’t gift the wife some bitcoin as a gift. If she properly understands what bitcoin entails and how volatile it is, she won’t be surprised that her $10k has reduced overnight.
There are lots of women who are also bitcoin holders and can handle the price fluctuations as well.

[ChiBitCTy]

What I would recommend is getting her some physical bitcoin, that way it's something she can tangebly hold in her hand, and they make from great presents.  Here are some of the less expensive physical bitcoins that you might want to consider to use as wedding gifts.


Satori chips are these orange poker chip style coins/chips. They hold .001BTC each and run around $150 or .0059BTC

The other chips are BTCC exchange chips.  These would be a bit more expensive and as you can see have different deonominations.




I would head to the collectibles sub channel here on bitcointalk if you're interested in doing something like this. There's a ton of stuff out there.

Not all women are the same. There are girls we know that they want jewelry, as they are closed-minded on Bitcoin; they only prefer gold, silver, and diamonds, but there are also women that, no matter what you give them, they will appreciate it, like gifting bitcoin, which they will appreciate mostly if you explain more about it. Also explaining volatility for the new person in Bitcoin is that their first impression is that they will lose money from it. But again, this depends on the person, but if both of you are interested in Bitcoin, then for sure both of you will like it.

Well, this is a good gift if your wife is already in crypto. But do you really know how she feels about it? You should be careful with gifts like that.

[bakasabo]

I dont know the traditions in your country, but does really husband and wife give each other presents on their wedding day? I mean guests usually give presents. For future husband and wife, organizing a wedding is already a huge expenses, that is why giving presents seems weird to me. Anyway, I dont think that Bitcoin is going to be a good present. It is a wedding, a day you two become a family. Your present should be about family, love.

As you've mention Bitcoin is still illegal in your country so why would you give her something that could put her in danger?
I know that you just want to make it unique but we should also consider the receiver does they want the gift that we would give them? would they appreciate it just like how they would appreciate normal gifts or how would they feel about it?
If your wife doesn't know about crypto or Bitcoin I think she wouldn't really appreciate it much.

Giving your wife bitcoin for a wedding gift isn't a bad idea, for a gift is a gift as long as it's not harmful and has value but such value can only be well appreciated of a gifted by the receiver if he/she knows the value of what is being gifted. From all indication your wife has no crypto knowledge so it would be important and necessary you first of all school her about the uses and value of bitcoin and what makes bitcoin uniquely different from the normal fiat money she knows.

Now, going by the fact that bitcoin is restricted and banned in your country do you think it would be safe enough to have your wife know about your involvement with bitcoin being a banned currency in your country. Can she keep your secret intact from family and close friends? Think critically before getting excited by your decision.

[ImThour]

This is wholesome, I will be doing same this year. Thanks for the wonderful idea. It would be an amazing moment to be honest, for me atleast. My girlfriend know about Crypto and Bitcoin so that will be a precious gift. Meanwhile, I am really happy for you that you are soon going to get married. Hope this will be life changing and positive. Good Luck!

[Litzki1990]

First of all congratulations on your new married life. But my question is why do you give your wife bitcoins on wedding night where all husbands gift their wives with other interesting things on their wedding night. And how do you know if the person you're marrying knows Bitcoin? If your new wife has no idea about Bitcoin, Bitcoin will seem worthless to her. Since you are involved with Bitcoin I think you might get your new wife interested in Bitcoin. If your plan is like this, I hope everything goes according to your plan.
