Small Birthday Gift - Bitcoin

[coinerer]

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.

Such stories are seen regularly now. these have become commonplace now. so these things don't seem too surprising now. so op's story doesn't surprise us now. but these stories are admirable because they are commonplace now, but not commonly seen. However, a non-custodial wallet should be used for both transaction and holding of Bitcoins as the Bitcoins are completely under self control and safe. Therefore, before giving someone a gift or encouraging them to invest, they should first be informed about the use of the wallet.

Well, in as much as I don't want to make you feel bad, I still maintain  that gifting bitcoin to a newbie isn't a better idea as there could have been more valuable  gifts she would have appreciated  over having bitcoin  now.
I also don't know how close you guys might be, but I think you would have taken time to educate her and give her a private tutorship rather than gifting her bitcoin as there are already alot of risks associated with it due to it's high volatility.

Well just as I said that I don't know the relationship  between you guys, but I don't understand  Spanish or what language  you guys communicated in but judging from the lot of love and happy emojis, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to shot your shot except you're  married or already committed else go shot your shot man, I'm behind you😁🤣

Gifting someone Bitcoin however small is the best that you can give a person on her birthday now that she has Bitcoin you have to talk to her personally and guide her on how to use a custodial wallet the risk in trading and using a centralized exchange to store Bitcoin.

Its the responsibility of the giver to guide the receiver on the proper management, history, and potential of Bitcoin, you cannot do this in one session so its better to gift her an e-book about Cryptocurrency, urge her to read the whitepaper and, its better if you can compile the best videos of Bitcoin on Youtube for her to watch.

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

The fact is that there are many entry points for people starting their crypto journey like your girlfriend choosing to learn to trade. In this case, recommending her a good exchange wouldn't be a bad thing.

To teach someone crypto according to their preferences, you have to forget yourself as an idealist.

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.

Of course it's good that you are going to explain her the problems related to keep funds on exchanges but what worries me the most is this part: "she is interested to learn about trading", I mean, for real? On average 85% of the traders lose their money, is she so confident she's going to to be in that 15%? I don't know, isn't it better to explain her how bitcoin works and just buy a little every month instead of trading?

When a person first learns about cryptocurrencies, he is more interested in investing in bitcoins in particular. OP It's really interesting since you said you gifted Bitcoin to your friend on his birthday. If this is the first time your friend has started trading in Bitcoin, then he must be happy to receive a Bitcoin gift from you. But since your friend has created a Binance account for the purpose of trading, you need to help him a lot. Of course he will demand special advice from you so he will be more than happy if you help him by giving him all the information about Bitcoin. and your friend can cross this journey beautifully so that he can learn about it. Warn your friend not to encounter fraud while investing and advise him to start trading later.

Thanks for all the overwhelming response for the incident that has been shared

Till date I haven't met her personally after sending the small amount of bitcoin. When I meet her what all things I need to brief her. It would be helpful if I get some precise points that can make a new one understand it in the short time of discussion.

I just saw this thread holy cow I did the same. I gifted my current girlfriend a bitcoin in her newly created non-custodial wallet. Atleast she have an idea now why I keep checking the prices on my trackers. As of now she's not that super interested but she are willing to learn. I believe that sooner or later before she realizes, she will earn money from the bitcoin I gifted to her and hopefully she will be interested to the point that she will talk to me initiatively about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. I just don't talk to her about my experiencr on crypto but she knows that I'm involved in some cryptocurrency transaction.

[landheer]

I would slightly disagree with you that he doesn't have a boyfriend but he sent his girlfriend Bitcoin as a gift. He has a girlfriend who is interested in Bitcoin. Before investing in any place, it is very important to be aware of its risks, because where there is a chance to gain, there is also a risk of loss.

You are right to always keep your assets in your personal wallet, because in this way your assets remain under your own control and are more secure. If someone has knowledge about Bitcoin, he must inform others about Bitcoin. In this way more and more people can be attracted towards investment in Bitcoin.

Seems like he misunderstood the post, but it's common knowledge that whenever you will invest onto something where there's involved risk such as volatile situation, scams or fraud, then for sure you would have to study and be knowledgeable into that thing you would stake your money with. Since OP's already involved in crypto, he could already teach the basic things about crypto but still it depends on the knowledge of his girlfriend if she's gonna be good at this industry. Well the assets he gifted to her girlfriend is already a good worth of money to start investing.

When you suggest sending Bitcoin as a gift, I feel your delight. Isnt it digitally storing gold money for someone special? I can imagine the recipient's amazement. Im skeptical, though. Gifting Bitcoin is new and exciting, but dont forget the crazy ride. Bitcoin is volatile, so if the recipient is new to crypto, the gift could be a Pandora's box.

I agree with personal wallets for valuables. Your digital Fort Knox. Remember that our practices determine security. Strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and phishing awareness are essential. Bitcoin education is crucial. I love helping others navigate the crypto realm by sharing what I've learnt.

I think I am late to tell you that you did a wonderful job. The amount doesn’t matter which you gifted, but yes as you sent her the Bitcoins and trying to educate her about the same, really made my day. Tell her the basics at first, and if she is interested in trading, then teach her the basics and fundamentals of trading. Tell her not to become greedy at first by seeing the market, and trade by calculating the risk and proper precautions. Don’t forget to share us the results here. Good luck to you and your girlfriend mate.

Many girls in my own area wouldn't want BTC as a present on any event but the one's that actually know the value like yours will really appreciate it. I would like to say you did well and thats because the person you gifted knows it value and now my only curiosity is what she is gonna do with this gift like, would it be a start for her to start saving up BTC as an investment plan ?Or she would just sell it off in the exchange and use it as fiat and get something because Ladies are fund of wanting flashy things.

In most areas, whether girls or boys as long as they don't know the true value of Bitcoin. They will have to decline the offer even if it's a gift. You present them with a $5 and a 0.001 Bitcoin and they'll choose the $5 cash.

In experimental videos that I have watched. Most women that have been presented with cash and bitcoin have no idea of what bitcoin is. The most of them chose to have plain cash than Bitcoin.

This gesture is a good thing and OPs girlfriend is aware of what Bitcoin is and hopefully she don't get rekt with her trades.

Is one of the best gift in the present world. I'm saving up my bitcoin for future consumption; there are necessities that arise on a daily basis, but I intend to stick to my plan: hold until bitcoin approaches $100k, as projected by market forecasters. Gifting bitcoin to a lady is not their thing; women want flashy stuff, and if they are given bitcoin, they will most likely sell it and use the money to satisfy their own personal desires and demands. Bitcoin has been given as a gift, which is wonderful, but most people are unaware of the coin's value.

Bitcoin are absolutely worthless to those who don't know how high their market value is. So I don't think there's much point in giving bitcoin as a gift for whatever reason without explaining what bitcoin is and telling them how much it's selling for. Gold makes a lot more sense to give as a gift, but if they know about bitcoin and its value then of course you can gift them bitcoin instead of gold.

My moms is much more likely to choose gold as a gift than bitcoin. Of course that's because my mom doesn't know what bitcoin is and how high it sells for. But when I tell the value and how to sell it, then of course he will receive bitcoins as a gift with pleasure. The same would be true for everyone else, of course.

If I must be honest with you, I did tell you that, not everything is meant to be given as a birthday gift, and bitcoin is one of those stuffs, whether the person understand or knows the value of it or not, bitcoin is not ideal, or suitable to be given as a birthday gift, most especially to a lady..

You said it yourself, and it is also known generally that women like flashy things, and as such, no matter the value of bitcoin given to a lady as a birthday gift, she will still appreciate that physical gift that is shiny and worth almost nothing, more than the bitcoin given to her at that very moment the gift is given...

My advice is, when considering giving a lady bitcoin as a birthday gift, consider attaching a small physical gift by the side.

What you did is not good for relationship OP, because that is where some of you guys be Carry away by love and start telling the girl your personal details hope that she will marry you at the end. Now that you send your girlfriend BTC as a birthday gift, don't forget that she will surely discuss it with her friends and her family member that will make all eyes on you in that environment.
