I just want to say congratulations to you and your wife! I'm not sure what you had in mind exactly but maybe a pool for the community to guess the date of the babies birth or weight? Not sure if your looking for a money making idea or celebratory type thing. Maybe the winner and the baby could split the prize coin.

Nothing like that really. Just wanting to know how I could bring bitcoin into something as specific and delicate as pregnancy. I don't think it's been tried before.

I do not have money issues. Thanks for the concern though.
I even entertained the idea of naming the child with bitcoin in mind. I haven't figured out a good one yet.
Unless your last name happens to begin with a C in which case you could make his initials BTC, I would not make your child resent you. It's not the 90s any more.

Learned that my wife is pregnant yesterday. This will be our first child. So how do I incorporate bitcoin into the process? I have bitcoins to spend.
Anyone got any clever ideas? This has potential.
Buy Stellar or your preferred Alt against Bitcoin and hold it for your son to grow old. p.s. Sorry for the stupid suggestion though

On the day the child is born, you can record the event in the blockchain (or sidechain).
Excellent idea! Why not start now? Create an address for the little one and record the "we're pregnant" announcement. You can do the "It's a Boy/Girl" too. You can also have your friends/fam suggest baby names in the messages too. The address will be a little piggy bank of coins and messages from daddy/mommy and friends. Hell, if I ever decide to have a kid, I think I might do this btw Congrats!

Congratulations To be honest the best idea I feel is to place 1 bitcoin into cold storage and then when your child is old enough to understand give them access to it, with the way of the living the way it is now I am sure your child when they get older would appreciate this a great deal

Using BTC you should buy; 1. A TV 2. A pack or two of condoms

On a serious note, put a few coins in cold storage for them. If BTC goes to the moon, hand them over when they reach 21.

I'm really interested in the "putting a video on the blockchain" idea. I'm not too familiar with it. Any leads?

you can attach messages to bitcoin blockchain https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_chain_message_service and that is forever you may create an address for your baby and send bitcoins with messaged attach in special occasions: when you know the sex when you feel a kick from him in your couple belly in the birth that way you can show him the record and his saves in bitcoin you also may attach a youtube link with a video

Congratulations. If you just learnt that she is pregnant yesterday, you have a lot of time to think about incorporating bitcoin into the process. By the time your kid is born, btc could be worth more than $1000.

Create a vanity address with the baby's name and send a bitcoin the moment it's born.
|
Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

Cold store some bitcoins.
And also some $10's in altcoins that are not blatant pump dump scam.
