Is it appropriate to give bitcoin as a wedding present? (self.Bitcoin)
submitted an hour ago by mpow

The couple I have in mind live far away and it would be easy for me to send and maybe a nice investment for them, plus a gesture to their future lives together. I may risk looking like funny internet money...and cheap?

I did for my sisters wedding... They don't understand the importance of it... Set them up with a cold storage wallet and hot wallets. All family gets bitcoin for birthdays as well... I will continue to give as gift till it goes parabolic... Then I just go back to normal things.

Hell yes, especially if they've never used it. though personally I would send an encrpyted paper wallet within a card or something like that as a personal touch. I did it for family member at Christmas, you can then give them the encryption password over the phone or something when they are ready.

It will almost certainly be a unique and curious gift!

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.
i went to my friend's wedding and for a gift i gave him a box of jehovah's witness pamphlets and six copies of the watchtower

i can't understand why they didn't appreciate the gift

Figured I'd add a watchface to see the balance of my mobile bitcoin wallet (which clearly I don't keep much in normally), and show a qr code to make it super easy to have people send to it on the rare occasion that happens (more than NEVER... but wouldn't exactly call it a common occurrence haha).

So, that's a thing I spent time to setup. Yup. Good thing I'm already married, isn't it? hehe

Currency trading is not new however it is true that for Bitcoin to be successful it must be converted into a usable currency through adoption.

but then half the class literally was unable to comprehend why heat would make something bend until it was explained seven or eight times. the teacher just said "bimetallic strip" over and over again like they were caught in a loop. it was a major question on the final, "how does a toaster work" because it was such an arcane thing.

this was a religious school, is news that will shock nobody.

how does a toaster work
a) magic
b) god
c) bimetallic strip
d) all of the above
