What’s the best way to give Bitcoin as a gift to “normies” with no prior bitcoin experience? #asknostr
Discussion
don’t. they will just lose it
Give them a book or a link to a podcast about it instead.
maybe have them download a watch only wallet with the public keys, then tell them if they ever want to add to it or cash it out you'll show them how and send them the private keys. that way it won't get lost if they don't take the bait
Cashapp. Send them $1 every week until they ask you questions and start learning.
Maybe a satscard?
i had a dream where i thought about giving my teddy bear to a homeless lady, but i foresaw that she wouldn't want it or be happy about it or take care of it, so i thought that things belong where they are best appreciated
Planting seeds. Those ideas grow with time.
In my experience after they are introduced to an idea, it will sometimes spark curiosity.
There’s no way to force it.
Its no difference than advertising. Subconscious repetition

which country ?
I Canada I would say to have them install shakepay. they even give free sats daily if you shake your phone.
but hey, even when you say "free BTC" most people don't care...
Get them on Nostr.
A seed phrase, some sats on it, and a wallet recommendation.
That’s a good idea. I get the comments that said “if they are new they will lose it don’t give them sats or bitcoin”, which is probably the case. They might lose it.
But they have to start somewhere and losing a few days is not a big deal. It’s not like I’d give them a full bitcoin! lol
Let me just tell you that 50 USD (or any other amount, up to you) on an address, a seed phrase (probably a hint that you keep a copy just in case) plus a wallet can turn normies into hardcore hodlers! 😂
Cash App
My way is lighning. They must feel it easy and fast first.
if they don't have a way to receive it, they won't care and won't keep it
zap them...teach them about nostr...or decentralized monetary value...
tell them Bitcoin doesn't undergo inflation ❤️
hey you can start by zapping me tho..🫂😏
Tell them to download green wallet and turn on tor in the settings then send them some
