Small Birthday Gift - Bitcoin

[Vaskiy]

Long back while having conversation with one of my girlfriend she said she was interested into cryptocurrency. Quite often she used to watch more details on Instagram posts and doesn't have proper knowledge to get into it. Days passed and today it is her birthday. I remembered the conversation and wished her. Already she had Binance, so requested her to send the bitcoin address and send a small amount of 0.0011BTC as birthday gift.

I know it is not good to send gifts to the centralized exchanges. During the conversation she said she is interested to learn about trading and for that purpose she had downloaded Binance. While meeting her in person I will brief her better about the security and need for non custodial wallet.

I've added the conversation that happened through the WhatsApp.

Just imagine how happy the girl will be to get her first handbag as a birthday gift, which she was never expecting. Such gifts are always cherished, and that day won't be forgotten so early by her.

For now, since she is still new to crypto, a lot of the newbies are introduced to crypto through centralized exchanges as one of their safest means of storing their coins, which I see as normal for anyone who has just a little knowledge about how things work.

Just try and make time, like you have said, to lecture her more about the security measures and steps she can take to safely guide her holdings and how to follow up on trades since she said she wants to get involved in trading. To me, for the main time, it could really be nice if she could just start by holding the bitcoin until she familiarizes herself with how trading works.

I like this story and what you have gifted to your girlfriend. But one things make me laugh a lot that your girlfriend is calling you "Anna" which is I think a south Indian word, maybe Tamil and the meaning is "Elder Brother". Actually she is calling you Elder Brother not her hubby.
Maybe your relationship status has been broken. Anyway take it easily, I am replying because this one makes my mood funny.

That's a wonderful gift, even it prices less but gifts are meant to be priceless, so great work dude, plus she seems to be happy even with that amount, i hope she is not present on this platform, because if she find out you have other girlfriend too, she might not like it

conversation with one of my girlfriend

(haha), and great work  

And you mentioned

i know it is not good to send gifts to the centralized exchanges.

, keeping big amount of assets on centralized exchanges is bad for health but sending small value are not that much of a risk, and as you said, you are going to teach her about non-custodial wallets, that is great, you should ask her it the first hand but no worry, Binance is not going to run anywhere soon. So,

And best luck.

Only God could know how happy she must be right now to have her first Bitcoin been given by a friend on her birthday today. Because truly this is quite impressive, & the best way to getting her to love Bitcoin the more & pick interest into getting to learn how it works and her trade which she just opened a "Binance" account for. Because by having you as a mentor, I'm sure she is sure of going through her journey smoothly without falling victim of scam just as we did years back when we started our journey alone. However, if you could introduce her to the forum, it will be a very great idea, as she will have the privilege to meet like-minded people like her interested in Bitcoin and learning how to trade, most especially on the "Trading Discussion" side of the forum.

So once again, I must confess that was a good job you just did.

I know it is not good to send gifts to the centralized exchanges. During the conversation she said she is interested to learn about trading and for that purpose she had downloaded Binance. While meeting her in person I will brief her better about the security and need for non custodial wallet.

Invite her to read those topics, articles to understand the importance of non custodial wallets.

Some threads have discussed members giving Bitcoin gifts as birthday presents and even wedding gifts. But your case is different because your girlfriend has some background knowledge about cryptocurrencies and she desires to own the currency. I have always believed that a gift will make meaning to the receiver if he cherishes it. It is a good birthday gift and I wish she cherishes and appreciates it.

I know it is not good to send gifts to the centralized exchanges. During the conversation she said she is interested to learn about trading and for that purpose she had downloaded Binance. While meeting her in person I will brief her better about the security and need for noncustodial wallet.

You must inform her about the dangers of keeping money in centralized exchanges. She needs to use a non-custodian wallet and don't forget to introduce her to an open-sourced wallet. Ensure she understands crypto trading before starts putting in money. She should also know that trading is not a get-rich-quick business. She should know that sometimes you lose and in some cases, you gain.

It was a meaningful gift, and I'm sure she was delighted you did it with her. Recently I also saw a topic about giving bitcoins on the wedding day, but honestly, bitcoin will be a very meaningful gift if the recipient knows what it is and its value. But it doesn't make any sense if you give bitcoins to someone they don't know what it is.
Many people will object when you and her use Binance, but in this situation, I don't think there will be any other choice as she is relatively new and maybe Binance account is the only wallet she owns. Of course, you should tell her about the pros and cons of holding bitcoins on a centralized exchange, but with that amount of bitcoins, it would be really unwise to tell her about withdrawing bitcoins to the non-custodial wallet.

I read your post and still don't understand why this is posted here.
Well, you gave your girlfriend a gift in the form of bitcoin, so what? Now you need to praise with this or want to hear the approval of the BTC-community? In my opinion, this is an ordinary event about which it is not necessary to tell everyone and create a separate topic. I am not writing this to criticize you, but simply because I don't see any message from this story.

0.0011BTC? I don't consider this a reason to worry about storage on a centralized exchanger. The amount is quite insignificant. You could have given more ~30$ for birthday, greedy man.

[Frankolala]

This is the best gift that one can have on her birthday because Bitcoin isn't a gift that will depreciate as time passes on,instead it will keep on appreciating. It is just like you gave someone a gold bracelet on her birthday but bitcoin is not a physical assets but a digital one.

You have helped her dreams to come through,by gifting her bitcoin today since you said that she has great interest on crptocurrency, she can use this to start her bitcoin journey. You should meet her in person and explain to her the reasons why centralized exchanges are not safe and teach her about a noncustodial wallet, so that she can keep her coins safe in her wallet and also transfer to an exchange when she wants to trade since she is interested in trading.

OP, you have just made someone birthday a memory.

First of all, happy birthday to your girlfriend and it's great that your girlfriend is interested in Bitcoin. If she is doing research then this can be very beneficial for her in future as knowledge increases only when you are interested in something.

I think anyone can be gifted in any form and a gift in the form of Bitcoin is a great gift. Your gifting method is great so it will get more attention in Bitcoin, and that's how we can promote Bitcoin even more.

For trading she can choose any good exchange. Before trading she needs to have complete knowledge and experience about trading. You should also guide your girlfriend completely about trading, and fully inform him about the pros and cons of trading. Tell your girlfriend about different trading indicators, trading charts and analysis.

Sorry if this hasn't made any sense. I thought of sharing the incident, this is the first time I'm gifting bitcoin. Another thing I forgot to mention, she is working in a Bank. Maybe looking this thread someone from our community can gift bitcoin to their closer ones.

I don't have much to gift. I've gifted half of my weeks pay. In my country $30 is big money. Maybe in the future if I was good enough to make big money I will think of gifting big money.

[flyingcarpet]

It's nice of you to do something like this instead of paying for a flower or ornament and giving it a classic gift. Your friend will never forget this. It doesn't matter if the gifts are big or small. Don't get hung up on quantities. The important thing is that you did something for your friend.

We are here because many of us know and love bitcoin. You've added another person to us. This is good news.

Once called a birthday gift, why mention big or small value here?  if only gifts of great value are called gifts, and gifts of insignificant value are not called gifts.  If it's me, that person is not worth my attention and gifts.
Yes, in some 3rd world countries, 30 dollars is already quite a lot of money.  it can cover living expenses for a week for a household of 2 to 3 people.
Everyone has their own opinion, you don't have to think about what other people think, you can't please everyone.  for me, this is an interesting story that should be shared with the community because we are a bitcoin community.

This might go two ways....

1. The Bitcoin price goes through the roof and you still have her as a girlfriend and she will be super happy with you....

or

2. The Bitcoin price goes through the roof and she is not your girlfriend anymore and you will kick your ass that you gave her those bitcoins.

I guess, people do silly things for love.... but it can pay off if you do this and it brings you closer together. It is always nice if you have something in common.... and having Bitcoin in common...... can just be a good thing. 

[Dimitri94]

Any individual naturally will be happy when he or she is given a birthday gift and if that gift is in an unexpected way, then he or she will definitely remember it for the rest of his life. Although your friend has a good understanding of Bitcoin because she provided the wallet by herself. I think your birthday gift for your girl friend was the best ever. Since she is a complete newbie in crypto, if you support her, she will definitely be able to gain positive knowledge about crypto. Using Binance Exchange to receive btc temporarily which is definitely good way.

That's a misunderstanding. Girl friend means, she is a friend of mine. I'm already married and she's also married. We're family friends and today received special food prepared by her husband. So, this is just a way to let her explore more about bitcoin. Just because it's her birthday I presented her with bitcoin gift remembering the conversation we had about bitcoin earlier.

I'm curious, why did she leave him if she was his girlfriend when bitcoin went up? The amount of bitcoins OP gave her is a small amount and even if bitcoin hits $100k it's not too much money for her to change and leave him. If she was just a girlfriend, I don't think any guy would be stupid enough to trust and give all his possessions or secrets. As long as two people are not married, they are still strangers with no ties to each other, there is no reason to completely trust each other.

[kryptqnick]

One of your girlfriends, huh?  Ah, I see the op later explained that the meaning was that it's a girl, and she's a friend.
If she wants to try trading, it makes sense that you sent her some BTC onto her Binance account because you can't exactly experiment with trading in a non-custodial wallet.
It's good that're going to tell her about the non-custodial wallets, but hopefully she doesn't mind Binance's KYC and will be able to use the BTC you gifted her.
Bitcoin is a good birthday gift.

[Agbe]

This is a very nice Birthday gift to her but if only she really understand what you have done for her because there are some girls that will not value what you done for her. For what you have done if really she do well with you, you can increase the amount again to make her happy even in the Mother's Day  . Now that she is your girlfriend and you are giving her BTC as gift then if God blesses you guys and you want to marry her how much bitcoin will you give her as a wedding gift? At this time she will carry on the alter and dance. My man well done for your love. Women in the forum should also do what this our brother has done so that the love will be perfect and not one sided one.
