Bitcoin gift to wife.

[starkim]

First of all, congratulations on getting married.
Unfortunately, I don't have a wife yet.
If I ever get a wife, I would like to give her Bitcoin as a gift like you did.
I think it would be a good experience for both of us.
The value of Bitcoin will be better than that of gold jewelry.

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.

actually for me since this is for long term investment ? indeed that needs theory and practice but a simple trust is enough to understand that even what happened
just holding bitcoin will bring us fortune in time.

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

He is a Old time Holder as he already accumulate His funds so I believe that He had teach His Wife about what it is and how it goes and besides it is written in the OP that His wife had already understanding about bitcoin.

Congratulations on your marriage and fulfilling your promise to give half of your bitcoin investment to your wife It is fantastic to hear that she not only familiar with Bitcoin but also want to learn more about it. It is not easy to explain complex topics like cryptocurrency so It is great that she grasp the concept so easily. It is also wonderful to hear that your wife plan to hold the bitcoin.

As for your question about gifting bitcoin to a wife many people different preferences when they come to gifts. some prefer gold jewelry others find the value It is essential to understand your partner interests and desires to ensure you give a good gift.

it is good to see how your wife appreciate both the bitcoin and the gold jewelry you gift her. It looks like you found a perfect balance between her interests and yours.

By the way I am not married yet. But again I wish you both live a happiest life.

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.

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.

I agree with both of you, if we are talking about romance and to add some excitement to the wedding then bitcoin is an inappropriate gift.  but anyway, this is OP and his wife's wedding, it's their decision and they feel happy with it.  but if it were me, I wouldn't use bitcoins at a wedding or any other occasion, it's more like a boast or boast.  if we want to teach our wife about bitcoin or give her bitcoin, we have plenty of time to do that.

It's not necessarily the case that the old holder taught his wife about bitcoin, sometimes they didn't provide education or his wife didn't know about his work in crypto. My wife still doesn't understand how crypto works, she only knows the name bitcoin and how valuable bitcoin is to make ends meet. So education must be done as soon as possible so that the wife can become a holder who can be relied on.

I fear you did a terrible mistake. Now once she wants to divorce you, she will be aware you are a Bitcoin investor and will demand 50% of your BTC holdings, besides the sum of Bitcoins you already gave her. We can't trust people nowadays to share informations about our investments and so on, especially if we are talking about a woman who you met or married recently... I don't know if it has always been like this in the world, but all the sworn love by a woman today, may totally change in a matter of few months to nothing or even contempt, scorn, disdain... Be careful with your finances and keep it private for yourself until you are certain the person by your side is really worthful of your trust.

You have raised a valid concern that the OP should be worried about. Sometimes we trust a person so much that we forget that every individual has their own secret that they can not share with anyone. However it is not advisable to share your personal life in an open forum in times of lots of hacking, exploits. You can be a victim of social engineering, and your online life can be in danger.

The value of Bitcoin will be better than that of gold jewelry.

You should also get married early like OP and gift your lovely wife bitcoins instead of gold jewellery.
As the demand and popularity of Bitcoin is increasing, people are interested in investing in Bitcoin over other assets in the future.
But it would be better to gift Bitcoin to your wife along with gold jewellery. Because both gold jewelery and Bitcoin will be good for your future. Both are top in terms of popularity.

I don't think I read anywhere that Bitcoin was used to pay for Op's wedding. All he said was that he gave his wife a bitcoin gift. after their wedding. We just don't know if he taught them how to convert Bitcoin to their fiat currency. Or it's also possible that he showed right away how Bitcoin is exchanged for the money they use, because Op's story is not detailed.

Then you are also right; that is also the OP's choice and may be one of his ways to express his true love to his wife. And I think that in other communities here, maybe we also allocate Bitcoin for our families or spouses, right?

[seanskie18]

I wish to gift my wife a bitcoin gift but hasn't yet earned any. I plan to help her earn her own money from bitcoin in the future. We must emphasize the importance of understanding our wife before giving her more money. Look what happened to the price of Bitcoin now, it's an opportunity.

OP used bitcoin to pay for his wedding? I don't think he did that because if you read his previous thread he said that bitcoin is illegal in their country. He invested in bitcoin in silence but then came up with the idea of getting bitcoin as a wedding gift on their wedding day, but following the this thread, he gave bitcoin after they got married.

His wife also knows about bitcoin and once they decide to invest in bitcoin together, it means he will definitely teach her everything about bitcoin. Also, it's not that we need to share some of our bitcoins with those closest to us, but we should find a way for them to have access to all of our bitcoins if something unexpected happens with us.

Presents should, in fact, capture the spirit of the occasion. Indeed, a bitcoin enthusiast would find this to be a wonderful present on an ordinary day. But we must remember who our audience is. A wedding is about more than simply the couple—its about the guests celebrating with them. Giving bitcoin now? Thats a contemporary decision, but its important to make sure it doesnt dominate the main feelings of the event.

Whether its bitcoin, gold, or any other tangible gift, money is at the center of it all. The sentiment, the feeling behind the present, ought to be the main goal. Indeed, there is a place and a time for everything. Our judgments need to be made with consideration, not only based on trends or personal preferences.

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?

Congratulations. Your wife is fortunate to have a husband like you. However, it is important to be prepared for the possibility that she may decide to sell it after holding onto it for a few years. Once she sells it, and if you are not prepared for this outcome, it could potentially cause a conflict in your marriage in the future. Therefore, it's best to be ready for your wife's decision regarding her Bitcoin.

I think you dont understand how system works. She can only hope to get 50% of what he gained during marriage. All the BTC holdings before marriage will belong to him. However, the knowledge about BTC opens her possibilities for future. She could have not knows about holdings, but now she is aware that there is an amount that is probably is increased when he buys more. But in general, it is unhealthy vision of situation, when you think about losing half if you get married. If a persons have such idea, then he should not get married at all.

I also don't have a wife like you, and hope that one day when we get a partner, we can both do the same things OP did.

I think it would be a good experience for both of us.

Of course this will be something romantic in a wedding because it will be different from other weddings. Indeed, in many countries the culture will definitely be different, we also need to pay attention, if in a country that prohibits bitcoin this will certainly be a problem. Thankfully in my country it is not prohibited, this is a good opportunity to plan because bitcoin is also like gold even though bitcoin is not physically real, but if your future wife already understands about bitcoin, she will definitely be happy to accept a bitcoin dowry rather than gold or diamonds.

Oh,,he Mr. OP you have fulfilled your promise I think that is good. I appreciate you for your initiative, I like your unique work about Bitcoin. Since you have gifted Bitcoin to your wife, which is really awesome, you should also give your wife good knowledge about Bitcoin. Of course, I like your initiative because you as a husband gifted your wife some seed phrases in Bitcoin. If you gift your wife a piece of gold jewelry instead of bitcoins, you might be happier. But since your wife has heard about Bitcoin before and has some experience with it, I think she will be well-educated in the future. By investing in crypto, you give your wife good advice and educate her about Bitcoin so that she can be a good Bitcoin user.

First it will be seen whether you can find someone for marriage or not.
Because still not everyone is interested to know about this bitcoin. If your wife doesn't accept bitcoin like the Op suggested, how can you give her bitcoin? First do some work in real life and get married. Not everyone is like an Op er wife, it's not like you will get married by seeing Bitcoin. First you have to get married then you can give share of bitcoins to your wife.

It has already occurred in Indonesia, and the news was quite popular for a few days, but then it seems like everyone forgot about it. I'm not inclined to use Bitcoin as a dowry because it's likely that my future wife is not yet familiar with Bitcoin before I introduce it to her. Rather than seeking sensationalism, I prefer to keep my Bitcoin ownership hidden and only discuss it with those who understand Bitcoin.

The idea of giving Bitcoin as a gift to my wife sounds good, but I want to present it as a long-term savings plan. Perhaps it sounds like a future savings fund for our family. However, once again, I won't give it until I've taught her how to secure Bitcoin and its technical aspects. It's too risky if there are mistakes when Bitcoin is held by someone who doesn't understand it.

It depends on the system the couple is adept of and the jurisdiction they are marrying. For example, here in my country there is a regime I translated to "Full Community Property Regime" where every belongings acquired before and after the marriage are shared 50% to each part in case of divorce. The one you mentioned is "Partial Community Property Regime", where only belongings acquired after the marriage are shared. There is also a third possibility, "Separation of Property Regime", where each part maintains its belongings after divorce, without sharing anything with each other.

Anyway, you are right. If you don't trust another person, it's better to not marry at all... And that is why I think marriage is a big mistake nowadays where we can't trust each other and people were used to not maintain their word anymore. It's a honorless world.

[dezoel]

First of all, congratulations and good luck to your married life. Second of all, you are too kind to give half of your BTC investment to your wife but I think even if you didn't made a promise, it will still be required, especially if there will be an annulment going on soon. BTC is not new anymore so it's no surprise that your wife will have a response like that. He already have an idea so teaching her about BTC is only a piece of cake.

On your questions, I'd say it depends on the girl. If he doesn't have an idea about BTC, maybe it's not bad to give them a jewelry instead. We can also do what you did there of convincing the girl first. If she seem to like BTC, then just give her a BTC.
