Extra obligations do not make for a good Christmas gift. It's inconsiderate. What if they don't want to take care of a dog? What if they don't want to take care of a plant? What if they don't want to go to the effort of interacting with Bitcoin?

People want to be able to appreciate the things that you do for them. It's rude to choose a gift with barriers in the way of that appreciation. Bitcoin only makes for a good gift if the person it is being given to is already interested in Bitcoin.
