In your opinion, what’s the best way to gift small amount of #Bitcoin for Christmas?
Like secret Santa at work for 10$.

1/4 oz silver rounds with the Bitcoin logo on them
Download Aqua Wallet, send some sats to Liquid, write down the seedphrase on a Christmas card and give it to the person. This way they'll be able to use it in the future, including with lightning, even if the amount wouldn't be spendable on the bitcoin timechain
Bluewallet. Create a wallet write down the 12 words and hand them over to them and keep a copy incase they in the future say they lost the keys
It very simple to download Bluewallet and import 12 words very easy
Doing a $10 UTXO would not be smart. Will more than likely become dust or will cost on a 1-2% on-chain fee to move it.
$10 on-chain will force them not to move and take action and learn. On a sat card 10 bucks im sending that to cashapp and selling for 2 donuts hahahahahaa fees go high now they really have to study hahaha
If you run a node you could make LNURLw links so that the funds are only moved off your node once the user takes the learning action. Plus since it’s lightning (on your own node) you don’t need to trust anyone.
If you want to try out an LNURLw you can test run http://lightning.btcforplebs.com
The LNURLw links are printable qr codes and easily written to NFC tags
You also remove the fees involved with on-chain
That's like giving someone a dog toy for Christmas, and then when they say "I don't have a dog" you respond "then this is your chance to get one!"
Yes, its like plating a seed, a #Bitcoin seed 🌱
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.
Try a SatsCard! These are great for that! https://satscard.com
