This is my Christmas Gift idea for my Teenage nieces and nephews if anyone needs a idea.
I’m keeping with my Bitcoin theme from last year, but this time I wanted to do something more creative, easier, and hopefully more interesting.
This year’s gift comes with two options, so you can choose what works best for you.
🎯 Goal (Why I’m Doing This)
Bitcoin has some benefits here in Canada, where we’re lucky to live with relatively stable money and banking.
But around the world, Bitcoin can have very different and often more important uses — helping people:
move money when banks don’t work
save when local currencies are unstable
maintain financial freedom in difficult situations
many other advantages
This challenge is simply a way to explore those real-world uses through true stories, not theory or price talk.
🅱️ Option B — Take the Gift (No Work Required)
You can choose to simply take the money as your Christmas gift.
Payment method is your choice:
Bitcoin
E-transfer
Cash (next time I see you)
No questions asked.
🅰️ Option A — Bitcoin Story Challenge
If you choose Option A, you can still receive the money, plus a chance at a bonus.
What You Need To Do
Submit 2 real, uniquely different stories where Bitcoin helped make something positive possible that likely wouldn’t have worked otherwise.
These must be real-world examples, not opinions or price talk.
📝 Story Requirements
For each story:
Explain:
What happened
Why Bitcoin mattered
Why it likely wouldn’t have worked without Bitcoin
Length: 5–8 sentences or short bullet points
Writing skill doesn’t matter — clarity does
🧾 Proof (Required)
Each story must include proof it’s real, such as:
A website or article link
A screenshot (headline, tweet, website section, etc.)
No proof = it doesn’t count.
🔀 “Uniquely Different” Means…
Your two stories must be in different categories, for example:
Journalism / free speech
Humanitarian aid
Remittances
Refugees / migration
Creators or artists
Energy / infrastructure
Censorship or sanctions
Privacy or safety
Two stories about the same type of thing won’t qualify.
🏆 Bonus (Option A Only)
$$$ for completing Option A
+ bonus for the best overall 2-story submission
“Best” = clarity, uniqueness, and understanding — not length.
🤖 Using AI
You’re allowed (and encouraged) to use AI to:
Find story ideas
Summarize articles
Help explain things clearly
You still need to:
Verify the story is real
Include proof
Use your own words
⏰ Deadline (Option A)
January 31st
This is intentionally generous.
📤 How to Choose & Submit
If you want Option B, just tell me your preferred payment method.
If you want Option A, send me:
Your 2 stories
Proof for each story
Your preferred payment method
Any format is fine — email, doc, screenshots, text.
That’s it.
No pressure either way — this is meant to be fun, flexible, and interesting.
Looking forward to seeing what you choose.
