if you really want to gift someone bitcoin, make it an IOU and hold on to the keys you’ll both be happier in the end

💯 I once gave someone a small gift using the lightning.gifts website. I kept a copy of the LNURL. After nearly 2 years they hadn’t claimed it so I withdrew it back to my wallet. To this day they’ve never contacted me to ask what happened. When they do we will have a different conversation than last time. Lol
😃 you don’t even have to use a service. Just issue your own bill on a piece of paper. If they lose the paper, you get to keep the BTC. image
