It’s lame but my opinion is if they can’t be trusted with figuring out an open dime and you don’t want to use a custodial solution like river then I would t bother because the money will be lost. Lots of people have stories like this and it’s a bummer.

I can’t tell ya how many of my family members burnt the bitcoin I gave em on opendimes lol…

Ya it gets to be a bummer. Uncle Jim until proof of work lol

Yes

Oh nooooooo 😂

This is actually quite normal for how long I’ve been involved with the coin

AI make an anthropomorphic bitcoin with a grizzled beard smoking a cigarette with Kidwarp equally grizzled looking pictures of anthropomorphic bitcoins on milk cartons.

🤣

This is what grok made with this…

The horror!

Haha, honestly, then so be it. The other option was to give them a wine aerator. I think this is more meaningful, definitely more valuable and the chances that they keep it are higher than the chances that they lose it. Worst case it's a bummer and a funny(ish) story. And realistically, they're both pretty responsible people.

But as you say this it makes me think... of all the options I type out here, setting them up with a blue wallet, making 2 seeds (one for me and one for them) and holding it until THEY withdraw it and take custody is probably the best move to avoid lost btc. I did say I refused to get them a hardware wallet too but maybe I just bite the bullet and splurge on it 🤔 basically forces them to self custody and learn the minimum required to do so
