I have 4 nieces

I decided last year that I would buy a certain amount in Bitcoin and stop giving them useless presents every year

Bought at $28,000

They will get it when they turn 18 but with one condition:

They have to learn how to self custody and cannot sell for another 4 years when they get it

What a great uncle your nieces have Fren 🌞

And if they don’t want to spend time learning about it. It will become my sats

I did the same for my nieces/nephew. Haven’t put any conditions in place though, they already lost the keys once, I kept a copy as I thought that would happen!

I hold the keys. They get it when they turn 18 and understand Bitcoin and self custody

Yeah, that's probably a wise set of conditions! I didn't want to put too many conditions on a present. If they want to sell it or lose it somehow then they'll learn an important lesson.

I stack for my teenage son and give hin $20 worth of bitcoin on the cash app every month. He sells it right away to buy cheap jewlery or whatever.

It's tough to watch, but it's part of the learning process.

Better to learn it young! I know when I was younger I never listened to advice and had to learn things the hard way!

Cool cool!

Great idea, as a multiple uncle I may steal this.

Great! Love it

Love it, I do the same with my two nieces. Bought a lump sum when they were born and add more every year on their birthday. Their parents still ignore Bitcoin.

What an uncle

This is the way. Keep quietly stacking for your loved ones until they are ready to carry the torch. They will be glad you did.

I love it! Brilliant. πŸ‘ I was thinking if I gift to my nephews then they probably just lose their keys or sell because they don't know what they got their hands on. Incentives them to learn what Bitcoin is. Nice one. You going for "Uncle of the Year" award! πŸ‘
