Bitcoin gift to wife.

[Lorence.xD]

Tbh, I still dont think it is a very good idea to give Bitcoin as a gift at wedding or other event that supposed to have romantic notes in it. The only acceptable scenario is when you both are deep into cryptocurrency. Otherwise it looks like a investment, than a present. Similar to case when on St. Valentines day you give her a ring, invite her to a restaurant with candles, and she gives you socks and shaving foam.

In our country, the type of gifts that can be received is something they will use to start their family, something they can use in the future, or if ever they necessarily need it. Normally, gifts such as money or life insurance were also being used as a gift. In my personal view, Bitcoin can be treated the same as I mentioned, providing an investment for your wife may not be romantic for you, but knowing that your partner has an investment plan for both of you, is also being romantic and being practical at the same time.

It's like giving them diamonds or treasure but they don't have any idea about it's value yet due to they are not knowledgeable yet about Bitcoin, so if you are just starting to plan on giving your love ones Bitcoin, I think it would be better to teach them first even for the basic so once they received it, they already have ideas what to do with them. Any kind of things could be consider as gift, even for a rock, if we'd just put like the meaning behind the gift, then we could appreciate it especially from the people we love.

So what's more if Bitcoin cause it can be used in future purposes and providing your needs. It's already romantic to think of your partner thinking for you financially so you won't struggle soon, since most of our needs would be needing money to have them such as foods, shelter, clothes and etc.

Your given comparison does not provide a valid reasoning. Diamonds or treasure is a tangible gift/asset, a legitimacy check including the determining of its value requires confirmation from someone professional.

Unlike in Bitcoin, if given to your wife, the value and its use can be checked through Google or just explained personally by the husband. Once explained, the wife will know on the spot that it is something important and should be treasured by both of them.

And yes, Bitcoin will serve its purpose in the future. Right now the wife will probably not gonna use it, but the time will come when they will use it. It's romantic and gives enough security for the wife, it only confirms that the husband has plans for the both of them.

Simple practice and not just theory will provide a better understanding and make it easier for them even though they are still beginners.
Knowledge about bitcoin does seem very difficult, but it depends on how they learn it. If you just theory, it won't have a good effect. Theory + practice will give better results.
Giving a bitcoin gift must also be accompanied by knowledge, don't ignore it because it is a valuable asset.

Giving a bitcoin gift must also be accompanied by knowledge, don't ignore it because it is a valuable asset.

Of course, it must be accompanied, otherwise the wife will ignore it due to ignorance, then the asset could be lost or the seed phrase forgotten, maybe this could happen.

I don't want to ignore that if the gift is valuable, especially with bitcoin, then it's clear that I will pursue it until my wife can then after that give her bitcoin to manage it well, at least she understands about bitcoin and understands how to look after her assets.

I promised in a post on this forum a few months ago. I had a plan to give half of my bitcoin investment to my wife after marriage. I got married a few days ago. First I gave my wife all the ideas about Bitcoin. I was surprised to hear my wife, as soon as I told my wife about Bitcoin, she said that she had heard the name of Bitcoin before. I thought it would be very difficult to convince girls. But my wife was able to understand about Bitcoin very easily. I gave him half of the investment as per my word. He is very happy to get Bitcoin. My wife plans to hold bitcoin for a long time. Now you can say it is better to give girls gold jewelery than bitcoins. I have given gold ornaments to my wife as per her wish. Have any of you managed to teach your wife Bitcoin? Have any of you gifted bitcoin to a wife like me?

No, I have never gifted my girlfriend any bitcoin, she doesn’t like when I gift her money or a gift card. In her mind I should invest the time to look for a real gift for her and not take the easy of gifting only money. This has been an issue between us a few times in the past and now I always check with her sister before buying a gift. There is a difference between jewellery and bitcoin, both has value but jewels she can wear whenever she wants and bitcoin only is in the wallet. If your wife is interested in Bitcoin and wants to learn about it then it's good to gift her some coins so she can try it out herself, but if she doesn't have a lot of interest and only wants to store it long term then you could also keep it. In my mind a marriage is a union of two people, so all the things you own also belong to your wife now and wise versa. My girlfriend is not really interested in Bitcoins, tried already a few times to start looking into it for her, but she always blocked off. I would be mostly afraid that she doesn't store the coins correctly and will lose the access to her wallet, better to keep all the coins together and let me control the safety of them.

A matured woman won’t deny great opportunities to make money. But yes if a girl only cares about gold then definitely it’s for cosmetic purpose. If you tell them about the profits that they can achieve from investing in Bitcoins, then definitely the will also invest in the coin. I guess OP you did fantastic job by choosing Bitcoins over Gold. Bitcoins are more rare according to me, so definitely soon the demand to accumulate the coin will increase and you will be able to sell the coins in very high price.

Bitcoin can be held for a long term like a long-term investment during the term of your relationship or even used the bitcoin as your inheritance to your child in the future, but of course, having a plan of it what to use is a must to make sure the bitcoin still on hand profitable and not just sleeping money, did you gift your wife a bitcoin with a hot or cold wallet or just send her a bitcoin using an exchange?, ideal if you have the seed and not become dependent with the centralized platform.

Wow, this matrimony looks like such a joyful haven! I must admit, I'm a little envious, haha! Just kidding. Congratulations on your marriage, dear friend! Bitcoin has become so popular that even people outside the crypto world have heard about it. It's awesome that your partner is accepting it wholeheartedly. It might be a good idea to educate her more about how Bitcoin and crypto work. Who knows, she might become an even better investor or trader! Give it a shot, my friend

I think this depends on your wife's preferences, if she doesn't like bitcoin or doesn't care about bitcoin, giving her bitcoin will become a meaningless gift. Not every wife likes bitcoin like OP's wife, so we need to adapt to each situation, especially during important events like weddings. So that's why you should ask her opinion before gifting her bitcoins, don't ruin their happiness just because of our preferences. Bitcoin is scarce, bitcoin is more valuable than gold...everyone likes to have a lot of money but not everyone cares about those things if they don't like bitcoin.

First of all congratulations brother on your wedding, may you both have a successful and happy life. Well brother I have not yet experienced it because I am not married and also I have no Bitcoin so it will be quite difficult to feel how happy you are but according to my own mindset set, I am giving my own opinion. Bitcoin is a very wealth-expensive asset in the world and its popularity is increasing day by day but I don't know how you can trust a person when it comes to Bitcoin. As you told me you got married a few days ago then how can you trust a person who came into your life a few days ago if I were in your place it would be quite difficult for me but this act shows how much you love her. I am very happy to see that your wife understands Bitcoin very easily as today's men do not understand this fully but your wife did and I would love it ,and my wife in the future will also understand Bitcoin and invest in it and know about its benefits. Today I have no Bitcoin but if in the future I would some bitcoins then I will feel happy to give a bitcoin to my wife as a marriage gift.

I don't understand exactly why you needed to give her half of your investment instead of simply telling her that you own some bitcoins because if for any reason she decides to sell when the price is going down, and you know how it works but she doesn't, you pretty much thrown out of the window half of your investment. Why wasn't telling her enough in your opinion? She may even lose the coins...

Indeed, there are times wherein just telling would be enough than making them involved to something they know nothing much about. Also in his case, they’re already married there’s no need for actually transferring an asset under her authority given that more likely it is him who would still act upon every market behavior. If it was me I would probably not transfer the amount and just let her know what I am doing. More people getting involved in a single asset could just yield to things getting more complicated especially once there’s a difference with opinions on perhaps whether to sell or not. Assuming that you’ve been here for years and she’s not; do you think you will both have the same decision when there’s a sudden change with the market behavior?

Since the Crypto market will keep going bullish and bearish, it is a good idea if op had inform the person he intend and explain how Bitcoin actually works. I don't really know op further plans after seeing some advise that had been given in this thread for better decisions on clarification. We tend to make mistakes sometimes and when we ask questions, we might get a very good advise that will help us to make a better move. It is better for a person to learn about something with time so that they can grab and understand how it works rather giving them opportunity to hold when they might not even understand what could happen if they hold with taking a swift decision when the market keep falling.

What you do is very visionary. Indirectly, you are teaching your wife about the benefits of bitcoin for future investment in the hope that your family's finances in the future will be much better than today. For me, Bitcoin can be said to be like jewelry even though it doesn't look physical, but Bitcoin can be said to be an asset/valuable item for your wife because the price will continue to rise if she always holds it.

In my country there are already several people who marry their partners using bitcoin dowry. Even though there are many pros and cons, this is good for introducing Bitcoin to the people around us. That bitcoin is better than gold or diamonds.

[Viscore]

In my opinion, your wife should be aware of what you do for a career. And if you make Bitcoin-related content or job, chances are your wife is aware of it. However, not all wives are interested in Bitcoin; some only want a little notion that they might abandon later.

However, I'm thrilled that my fiance is eager to learn about cryptocurrencies because it will greatly benefit my crypto journey. I hope her interest is real and feel essential for her. As of now, I can only provide information about bitcoin, but I am hoping that in the near future I can give some.

Let's just say that bitcoin is not just limited to men as it can also be a passion for women.  So gifting bitcoin to a wife is actually a good start so she can also be aware that bitcoin can also be precious like gold, or its actually more precious and valuable than gold. But make sure that her interest is not just for short term duration but definitely for long term as much as possible. Know that bitcoin is never a get rich quick and should always be for long term investment to maximize its profits. With your guidance on how to manage bitcoin investment properly, i know your wife will always have the bigger chances to become successful with bitcoin as well.

I assume you live in Indonesia mate, I didn't know that there's already the type of marriage like that there. But who's not going to decline that type of ceremony when the partner has got Bitcoin. It's like the new flex for being financially free today and more of it when the person is holding a lot of it.

That bitcoin is better than gold or diamonds.

For us, it's true that Bitcoin is better than those assets. But if talking about which is better, we're biased because where into Bitcoin and this is a subjective thing. But regardless of that, they just need to accept the fact that this works better for us thus we say Bitcoin is better than those.

Tbh, I still dont think it is a very good idea to give Bitcoin as a gift at wedding or other event that supposed to have romantic notes in it. The only acceptable scenario is when you both are deep into cryptocurrency. Otherwise it looks like a investment, than a present. Similar to case when on St. Valentines day you give her a ring, invite her to a restaurant with candles, and she gives you socks and shaving foam.

In our country, the type of gifts that can be received is something they will use to start their family, something they can use in the future, or if ever they necessarily need it. Normally, gifts such as money or life insurance were also being used as a gift. In my personal view, Bitcoin can be treated the same as I mentioned, providing an investment for your wife may not be romantic for you, but knowing that your partner has an investment plan for both of you, is also being romantic and being practical at the same time.

Anyway, such wedding gift or gift to a wife must be romantic, as it must give emotions. While money is just money (same as bitcoin). You give or get it, spend it and you forget about it. No positive memories are left after. Still dont understand how can investment be romantic. I can give my wife a brick, saying that this is a first step to our future house, and I am 10000% sure she would be totally disappointed with that. In my country, old people used to save money for their own funerals, and places on graveyards in advance. That is also a kind of investment, even though is sounds weird. Can you imagine receiving a present like that? As you say, it will be both practical and romantic.

I agree with your point of view on this. For an important day like a wedding day or a date, we should give meaningful gifts that are appropriate to the situation, and should not give unrelated things. In OP's case, if his wife knows and is passionate about bitcoin, he can gift bitcoin to her at any time. Giving her bitcoin on her wedding day might make her happy because she understands what it is, but what about the people around her? They don't know anything about bitcoin and came to congratulate the wedding, share the joy with the bride and groom, but they don't understand what's going on, which will make the party no longer interesting.

At the end of the day, it's all about money, bitcoin or gold or any gift is money, but we need to give gifts that suit the situation and context rather than just doing what we want.

A very good idea. But if it was me, I would rather teach her how to earn in bitcoin or make her buy bitcoin with her fiat earnings. She would value the bitcoin she earned herself or she bought with fiat more than just the one sent her by hubby. Since she is holding for a long time, she might at sometime forget she has bitcoin before she didn't earn it. Now, the fund will be at risk if she can't save the seed phrase very well. It would have been better she earned herself, then you also let her know about your investment incase of demise

Did you just see your wife and married her? I mean you decided to tell her about bitcoin only after marriage. I have taught my girlfriend much about bitcoin even when we aren't married.

OP told that his wife is aware of Bitcoin. However, Bitcoin as a gift, that is basically just money. That isnt very romantic, that is just another creative way to give money. Even though it is popular, but giving money as a present is simplest kind of a present. I would say that is might be similar that person did not bother much thinking what to give. Just like a last minute decision. For Bitcoin to be a present that will be remembered or understood, the person who receives it must be into deeply crypto, and people who surround that person must be also in crypto. Otherwise how would that person share the joy of a present. I bet it was a quest for his wife to explain her parents what exactly OP gave her as a present.
