GM 🍵 a bitbox with sats
I’d like another bitaxe please 🙏
Id like a @npub126nt...e9ll.
Good morning ✌️🧡
Bitcoin may be the best gift you can give. But depending on the person, I'm sure you could think of something more personalized, like a hardware wallet, bitaxe, a Bitcoin book/audiobook, bitcoin themed artwork/posters, tshirts, jewelry, wool clothing, socks, sheepskin rugs, steak, etc.
You know, things bitcoiners like.
a coldcard
Good morning! Knowledge of #Bitcoin!
Gift for a seasoned bitcoiner or orange-pill gift for a curious nocoiner?
When gifting Bitcoin this way to a newbie, do you back up the seed for them in case they lose their backup or mess something up in the future?
Would make a great gift
What would give if you had to pick one
Great device
Where is my gift? Come here let me teach you about Bitcoin 😂 
Orange pill gift
LN wallet configuration and some sats.
One of the best ways to get someone to learn about #bitcoin is to gift them some sats.
On a long enough timeframe, they’ll want to know more 🤓🧡
Yes, if they are a close relation
I help them do it…teach a man to fish🤷🏽♂️
If they want me to I’ll keep a copy for them as long as they like…I’ve had several lose their seed phrase during the process of learning about BTC and call me back in a panic😳😂

I've been giving my nieces and nephews a small amount of Bitcoin every year. I kept it simple (and insecure) and made paper wallets for them and told their parents to keep them in a safe.
I currently have a copy of the private keys. When the time comes, I'll sweep them to hardware wallets for which I have no keys nor PINs.
It's pretty fun every Christmas. "Hey Vinney, I heard Bitcoin is up". "Yea, remember that $n Bitcoin I gave your kids so far? Now it's worth $n*x. Keep it safe!"

Yeah, I usually keep a copy of the backup as well. Had a friend lose a seed phrase once, a long time ago. After that, I always keep a backup.
that or you're throwing out the sats and they'll never be recovered. gotta be careful with this approach.
Maybe Bitcoin Standard or Broken Money and some fun “treasure hunt” instructions on a paper wallet?
Auf jeden Fall und natürlich gibt's eine Anleitung und es wird geübt wie es funktioniert 👍🏼
Badass Uncle 💪. Paper wallet, I used to rock in the early days. Never lost my coins. This Christmas, the Bitcoin is now worth talk, going to open some eyes.
Yeah, in 2017, I had a friend I helped set up lose his private keys. After that, anytime I set someone up, I keep a backup. I do not want friends losing sats.
A corndalorian meme, framed.
Printed copy of the Bitcoin whitepaper and a card that says "sorry I spent all my Christmas money on Bitcoin"
Best LN wallet to do this?
Absolutely shameless self promotion 😂
My book:
Amazon
Amazon
If it's a small child, a plushie and children's book from my little hodler.
If it's an orange pill mission or new person otherwise a hard copy of a book or books from the saif house.
If it's someone with laser eyes but using one of the less stellar signing devices (ledger, trezor, etc), a coldcard.
And if it's someone who's got all that but no node, some hardware and a date to help them get a node up and running.
If they have all that maybe some swag, or if appropriate, zap some sats. Also, Salvadoran bitcoin friendly coffee doesn't hurt.

Yes, if nocoiner keep the seed and let them know. Once they are ready they can move to a new seed later
Oh seed backup supplies are helpful too. If they have the stamps you can never have enough M8 stainless steel washers or titanium plates.
That's cool never seen this before 🧡
Isn't the answer in question 🤔
Yea sats but I was curious how others go about gifting.
This is what I did. Could even swap the $200 wallet for a $15 SatsCard with $25 on it. But the book will at least be a solid entry point to get why what and how. I wrote it as a broad easy to read overview that QR links to curated YouTube playlists per topic that I update and the landscape evolves.
A good morning?
great idea. you're doing the world a service.
Yeah, always always keep a back up 🧡
The hardest part... no easy to an enduser, I always check this 
and try to select one from there. If you are going to help in the configuration part, maybe one custodial, if that is not the case, go for the most common (possibly WoS).

Give them love. A great gift would be fiat cash and a lesson on where to safely buy and store BTC. Then enjoy the time together teaching and learning sound money.
An @Umbrel Home, if that’s within your budget. They are amazing little devices.
Bitcoin is the most difficult gift because it's like giving someone a book that you hope someone will read because it contains information you think they need. I struggle with this myself. It would be so irritating, though, to give someone like a "Coupon" for bitcoin education.
When are you going to give me a signed copy?
I’ve got it here John, swing by later on 👍
😤
Yea I was curious how others were doing it. Never been easy for me but through the failures I have learned. I stopped gifting books. No one has ever read a book I have gifted.......
or a @npub126nt...e9ll is something I am considering but the level the person is currently, I will need a more first step gift.
Have a great day.
Same here. Last year I gave bottles of expensive olive oil lol.
A hug 🫂
Yes, 🙌 I’m absolutely 💯 on this answer.
How about a Coldcard Q?
t-y
If you ask my family:
Christmas dinner, without anyone talking about bitcoin.
books
Sadly I gave up on this. Every book I gifted has gone unread 😔
😂 Relatable
Sweet device
🫂
Book: Great by Choice, by Jim Collins
If that someone likes coffee I highly recommend this 👇
Bean of Fire
Bean of Fire | 100% Salvadoran
Single Origin Coffee made in El Salvador. Experience volcano coffee from the Golden Belt of El Salvador, one of the world's best regions for coffee...
Jade Green
Block clock
A wallet with a few sats?

More Bitcoin
Book. The Bitcoin Standard.

Sadly I gave up gifting books. I have bought so many people the Bitcoin Standard and 0 ended up reading it 😔
MOAR
Ultimate stocking stuffer!
Which wallet?
Pez is the softest hard candy
I have mine pinned up in my office. Ultimate for sure. 👍
wtf John. I don’t need to be thinking about this. It pushes other shit out that I need to know.
😂
bitkey
i get it. people only read what they want to. I just hope one day they pick it up after they get the price signal from the market.
(Book) Fiat ruins everything by Jimmy Song
Education. Depending on the age of the gift receiver either "Broken Money" by @Lyn Alden or "Bitcoin Money: A Tale of Bitville Discovering Good Money"
I have gifted many books sadly no one reads them so I stopped gifting books.
I cannot be held responsible for what I say while channeling Jack Handy and his deep thoughts from beyond the grave.
🧡🧡🧡
broken money is such a gem
How about a lightning piggy bank?
