How to Give the Gift of Bitcoin: A Guide to Gifting Cryptocurrency
Gifting Bitcoin combines the thoughtfulness of a meaningful present with the potential of an appreciating asset, creating a gift experience fundamentally different from conventional alternatives that depreciate, get consumed, or sit unused.
FAQ
Each Bitcoin is essentially a computer file stored in a 'digital wallet' app on a smartphone or computer. People can send Bitcoin (or part of one) to your digital wallet, and you can send Bitcoin to others. Every single transaction is recorded in a public list called the blockchain.
A crypto wallet is a necessary component for holding and transacting crypto coins. To send or receive any type of coin, you’ll need a secure wallet specifically designed for cryptocurrency. These specialized wallets:
- Keep track of coin ownership.
- Generate the public addresses you’ll need for transactions.
- Do not literally hold your coins like a traditional wallet; instead, your Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, etc., all exist on the blockchain — your crypto wallet simply provides access to them.
You can use the following easy-to-use wallets. You'll need to bring this wallet (or a printed QR code) with you to the machine. Please keep in mind, we neither receive referral fees from these providers, nor are we connected with their business in any way. As such, we cannot assume any liability with respect to your use of them. As always, do your due diligence before choosing a wallet provider.
Caution: Ensure that the wallet supports your cryptocurrency. If the wallet is not compatible, you will lose your transaction amount.
