My experience: Don't give away BTC for holiday giftssteemCreated with Sketch.

in #bitcoin7 years ago

...unless the gift recipients are actively inquisitive about crypto and responsible enough to manage private keys.I have given countless friends and family members bitcoin in tiny increments in the last year and a half. Only to have them call me in late 2017 and say "Look at that price! How do I get my bitcoin back if I have lost my private key and seed?" Now, that lost gift has turned into a source of resentment for the recipient.Next time, I will simply give the yet-unenlightened fiat and hold the BTC instead. I have learned that if they don't care enough to be responsible for their private keys, they will lose the bitcoin and indirectly blame you. 

To the lunar surface, ladies and gentlemen!
