Small Birthday Gift - Bitcoin

[Marvell1]

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.

Bitcoin information has been widely circulated on social media and many people are familiar with bitcoin by now, but the problem is how involved people are in investing and how confident they are in using it. I wonder if you are giving these bitcoins as a gift only and how far you can lead them to be consistent in investing. If it's a gift and he isn't consistent over the long term then it's a shame because he won't be benefiting from the gift in leveraging bitcoins.

They only know Bitcoin from information from various social media but do not fully understand how to use it. This limitation makes some people unable to develop knowledge because there is no one beside them who can teach directly about Bitcoin. I think it's really lucky someone who has a girlfriend who can teach him how to save and invest safely.
The first prize in the form of Bitcoin will further encourage him to be more consistent in learning more about investing, besides that more people will become familiar with Bitcoin due to people directing how to use Bitcoin safely.

I don't think the fact that nobody teaches bitcoin is a barrier for some people because most of the information is on the internet, if someone really wants to learn and want to invest in bitcoin, then they will find a way. I am a self-taught person without any guidance, I do not say I am good, but if we are passionate and love bitcoin, nothing can stop us. But if you are lucky enough to be taught by an experienced person, the better because you will avoid unnecessary incidents.
Bitcoin will be a very meaningful gift if the recipient is someone knowledgeable about Bitcoin, OP, you really did a good job of inspiring your girlfriend.

I got acquainted with something new today, I had no idea that birthday gifts can be given in this way. You have done a unique job. As a birthday gift where normal people gift teddy bears or other interesting things, you give Bitcoin as a birthday gift to your loved one. Since you have already gifted Bitcoin to your loved ones, it seems that your loved ones are also involved with Bitcoin. If he is directly involved with Bitcoin, he will surely be very happy to receive this gift. And the person you give a gift to will surely keep your gift carefully.

It's a good one from you @op, and a big congratulations to the birthday girl, a bitcoin as a birthday is indeed special, most especially to someone who must have had interest in joining the crypto revolution but lack the knowledge and maybe the resources to buy their first bitcoin, from the several happy emojis she added to her chat, I can sense how happy and pleased she was with the bitcoin gift..

But then, @op, if like you said, she interested in learning how to trade, you have to spend time with her so are to properly guide her, if you leave her to do her own trial and errors, 0.001 bitcoin isn't that much, she might lose everything in a twinkle of an eye, so please make time available to guide her .

[demonica]

Oh that's nice! It doesn't matter how big or small the amount is. What matters is how you helped her achieve a small goal of her to have her own Bitcoin. And at the same time, it could be her starting journey in Bitcoin. I think op will do good in helping his friend learn more about Bitcoin, considering that you already have knowledge and experience in bitcoin.
To be honest, it's much better to teach crypto and bitcoin to those who are really interested and eager to learn. Unlike those who are just somehow forcing themselves to learn.

[mendace]

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

OP what you did for your friend is a nice gesture but let me give you some advice, the next gift teach him to leave platforms like Binance and use his own private keys and use services like Bisq or Robosats to buy Bitcoin or Pocket Bitcoin if you have the possibility to make a transfer.

This is not new though there have been members here who did that in time past but you did well mate. I know she would be much happier for the time being but this is good you  do the needful in time.
You know birthday comes once in every year. So when it comes to that special day, celebrate like never before, jubilate and sing praise to mark your birthday.

Congratulations.

I appreciate what the OP did to gift Bitcoin to his girlfriend. It was a good attempt to start introducing Bitcoin, but it was a poor attempt to provide an introduction to the security of his Bitcoin asset.
But even then an exchange like Binance might be an option because it also serves as a platform to trade and teach trading to your girlfriend.

0.0011 BTC is a small amount, but it is not important about the amount, it is important how you introduce Bitcoin, its advantages and disadvantages.
For the next birthday gift, it might be better to give a surprise in the form of an item that can store Bitcoin, namely a Hardware Wallet, it will be quite memorable and become a memorable item that will not be forgotten.

Whatever the OP is doing is to share the joy here, by giving a girlfriend a birthday present in bitcoin, so is this your first time giving a gift in bitcoin?

Binance is a good exchange, if your girlfriend is already interested in bitcoin and other trading then you should guide her well how about the basics, with a capital of $30 for me it was enough and let her trade in spot trading to start it and this step should be done with you so that your boyfriend understands better with guidance from you.

Now many people are involved with Bitcoin but I have never heard or seen that one can gift Bitcoin to a loved one on their birthday. But anyway we usually give teddy bears or phone flowers etc for birthdays. But op gave his girlfriend bitcoins. I think we also got new birthday gift ideas through op. I think op's girlfriend is involved with bitcoin so it's easy to wish her birthday via bitcoin op. With op we can send greetings to girlfriends with Bitcoin.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

So what else would she do with the Bitcoin on her Binance account if not sell it? Well, sorry to say, if she was interested in crypto just as you have said, then she would really be more interested in holding that Bitcoin in a self-costodial wallet, and you probably would have even guided her to download one of the good mobile wallets app and send it there, because I think you must be aware of the issues with the SEC and Binance lately and the case of Bitcoin and the government at present. Really advising some crypto newbies to trust a CEX is not what I consider to be wise advice, and by the way, even if she is not going to sell the Bitcoin, why waste the fee to send it to Binance when you could have just asked her to create a self-costodial wallet and send it there? Then she can hold it.

[Bushdark]

I am still very surprised op giving Bitcoin gift to one of his girlfriends which is absolutely amazing to know that he has plenty women in his arsenal. Congratulations to both of you and i hope she is not going to sell the coin when she has emergency. You need to lecture her on how profitable she can be if she keep the coin and focus on buying more Bitcoin for the future.
Since we are going to see a great move in price of Bitcoin by next year, it is very important for us to hold and buy more so we can make more profits from the market when Bitcoin has a big increase in price.

[blockman]

Nice and that's a gesture that you like her to get into trading as well. With that amount, she can learn a lot but don't expect that it'll grow too quickly for her.
Just advice her that she just enjoy what she's about to learn with that amount and don't be too greedy and if she's able to make profit from that, take profit no matter how much it is gonna be.

Seriously though, this is a lovely gift that anyone who is interested in bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general will adore getting from their significant other.Sincerely speaking, this is unique, and I would want to imitate 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 non custodial wallet.

So far, she wants to learn trading, and she was the one that recommended Binance to herself, not bad there, but always try to remind her that exchanges are not reliable despite the reputation they may have gave. for better and stronger security purposes about her bitcoin, let her get a non-custodial wallet, as you said, so that if she has money later to invest more in bitcoin she will think of leaving her Bitcoin in any exchange because if she got familiar with uses  of exchange It will be hard for her moving her coins away from exchanges.

Bravo, I imagine how proud you'd be. I know that 0.0011BTC as birthday gift may be something you can afford to lose but how about the recipient? How would she feel if she loses it on the exchange? When you talk to her about security do ensure that you set up a software wallet for her. One your mind would be at rest. She would too be happy.

Initial information from social media is enough to lead them to learn about bitcoin and engagement matters directly depending on how they try to learn it. Actually there is nothing difficult because there are many videos about investing in social media, it's just that it takes a little seriousness in learning so that it leads them to real knowledge, unless they don't want to study seriously.

Let's hope for more positivity and hopefully the gifts given can encourage him to be more consistent in investing in bitcoin. Regarding how to use bitcoin properly, I'm sure on the way they will learn by themselves and the directions will probably help them to perfection in the learning process.

You are absolutely right mate. For her to have recommended binance to you, it means she has gotten more knowledge on bitcoin herself and this would make things much easier for you to teach her.
Like I earlier emphasized, her coin safety is very paramount because it has to do with funds and assets. So therefore, you must be up to the task of putting her through the entire system so she could get acquainted to how it works irrespective of the fact that she has done a little research on it. That should be a plus to her knowledge be she wiu learn and relearn some processes involved for her safety.

The right things always happen at the right moment. You having the thought and she already being prepared shows how much there is synchronicity in the relationship.
For the fact you didn't get to spend so much on a luxurious gift, i respect that.
Am curious to know what she did with the coins you gifted her however, and am wondering if you already introduced her to a community forum as this, where she gets to participate and learn more in addition to what you would teach her.

Women who appreciate such kinda gifts from their spouses, contribute enormously to a happy and prosperous home. Unless she is the type that seems like she would swindle you of your funds, be smart. Not your keys, not your coins!

Hope it didn't cost much more than you anticipated knowing how Bitcoin price is almost at 29k and climbing?

[wiss19]

It's nice to have a girlfriend or a wife who is also into Bitcoin because it can make your relationship twice better. But I think this isn't really surprising knowing that cryptos' popularity are now very high. We only get shocked one day that our partner will confess to us that they are now into Bitcoin but sometimes they will get encouraged to us when they see us daily dealing with Bitcoin.

I see that it was your girlfriend's birthday last time, so I'm also wishing her a belated happy birthday. The gift you send may not be that huge but for sure he is happy and appreciates it a lot because it came from a special person. Besides, the amount can still grow if he HODL it a little longer.

[Woodie]

They are now going crypto...the gift game has changed indeed  

And with the growing interest she will have for this means , every birthday 🎂  that comes you will need to increase that token of appreciation going to her as it can't remain the same and hope you are ready for this otherwise next birthday you having handkerchief and socks

Hope she doesn't fall for any scams with the So called social media trading fraudsters roaming around, orient  her for her own crypto safety.

You have done well by gifting her the bitcoin, am always interested in females trying to learn about bitcoin, since she those not really have much knowledge about bitcoin and trading yet, then it’s better you just give her your time so that you will teach her about trading, and bitcoin investment incase later if she is interested in investing in bitcoin.

I noticed something about your post, you shouldn’t have added the amount which you gifted her, and the picture which you uploaded, you should have blurred the part which the amount of bitcoin you sent to her is showing, you don’t have to show the amount sent to you before people will believe you.
