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.
Congratulations!!! What an awesome thing to hear! Well, you could put aside some BTC, I guess! But please make sure to put the well-being of your child first! Don't invest too much in Bitcoin, make sure there's enough money left in order to provide for the child in a decent way!

I should have gotten into Bitcoin back in 1992...

If you think of anything good, it could be a good idea to post it on one of the crowdfunding sites. I heard of a guy who got a large some of money for funding to make a sandwich I believe it was. I'm sure if you put your mind to it you could put something special together and get some financial help to make it happen. Could go viral very quick and would be fun to watch take place.
Way to keep it classy. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

Send them to a cold storage wallet and put it in a safety deposit box that can only be accessed by your child when they turn 18

I think you shouldn't do anything at this point.

When you have created the wallet address, make a QR code and publish it. Then people can "donate" to it, including you, of course, knowing that it will all go to the kid (or you, since you're the parent).

Congrats! I find myself in a similar position as my girlfriend is due next month! It's getting really real now. I've personally devoted my unfunded Casascius gold bar with a SilverWallets hologram (they were kind enough to give me a couple hologram stickers at the Chicago convention) to my son to be (yep, it's a boy!). In fact... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FqwypWka.png&t=665&c=Fhj9d7hsP0wLVg) 14WsxbeRcgsSYZyNSRJqEAmB1MKAzHhsCT That's the Wallet Address right there! Was thinking of making a t-shirt that says "Bitcoin Boss" or something. I have two S3's earmarked as his which I will setup to mine to the wallet for as long as possible which with any luck will pay for his college, his house, his future, etc...to the moon!

If simply showing an address is begging...than this is a den of beggars. I didn't ask or say to send me or my future son bitcoin...I explained my plans to another soon to be father because what better way to store for your childs future than cold storage. Mainly I posted the image of the QR because I thought it was cool that you can go here: http://bitcoinqrcode.org/and make one... then go here: www.cafepress.com and have it printed on almost anything. Perhaps I should have said that on the last post. Anyway...how's that 50 posts for Primedice coming Mobius?

Try investing in Actual Money and start an Actual Money trust fund to pay for some education, there are specific funds available with special percentage rates soley for education based funds, don't waste your money on butts, you have no idea what will happen with bitcoin or any other crypto in the next 18 years, nor does anyone else, and anyone who says otherwise is a flat out fucking liar, a deranged fucking idiot, or both.

I do not have money issues. I can easily afford to send a child to college now, this moment. The question is, how do you integrate bitcoin into something as specific and delicate as pregnancy. I'd like this to be a great milestone for bitcoin as I've, and not many people have, had the chance to ask this question.

Tattoo a key with all your Bitcoins on her belly button. When her belly button pops back inside after the birth the key will be hidden until you knock her up again. Every time you think about spending Bitcoins you'll either need a hard on and several months wait or a scalpel.

So a bitcoin accepting doctor wouldn't be a milestone for bitcoin? This isn't my intentions, but you seem quite biased against bitcoin in general, not just this circumstance. Using your logic we could say bitcoin has no place in food service, hardware, software, alpaca socks sales, and everything/anything else...

Congratulations on the big news!! I'm sure you can buy wine with Btc now so buy a nice bottle of red that will age well and keep it for his/her 18th or 21st birthday. All the best and i hope you and your new child has a great life filled with bitcoins ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Keep some BTC in a cold storage and keep it safe until he turns 18 or 21. Whatever you see fit. BTC may be worth a lot in the future so you should keep some. If it goes to 0, whelp, that sucks. If you need to, use the BTC for hospital bills or something practical.
