Instead of gifting stupid fiat stuff to your loved ones.

Maybe just gift them some sats over lightning.

Xmas is knocking at the door.

So think about it.

I would only gift over lightning because it works

and the setup is much easier then seed backup.

If it is "lost" the lightning node owner still got the benefit.

Or is it not a good idea ?

Let me know your thoughts !

Great idea! Especially since it’s easier and more practical πŸ‘

i would always say:

for about 100 bucks this wallet is OK

But if you got 200 to 1000 bucks in it

you should learn self custody !

Yep, learning self-custody is essential for larger amounts πŸ˜„

if you learn it with zero at stack

most people turn off

but if they got something at steak

maybe they are more willing to learn

Exactly! Real risk makes you focus more πŸ‘ŒπŸΎ

I AGREE FIAT GIFTS ARE πŸ—‘οΈ ZAPPING SATOSHI'S IS LEGENDARY πŸ†

A FRIEND IF OURS IN HAWAII WANTS US TO HELP HET SETUP HER STRIKE ACCOUNT.... WE ARE WINNING πŸ’ͺ🏼

Pretty easy to write down 12 or 24 words imo. If they loose access to the phone or the downloaded wallet, get a new one and insert the seed, done. Shows them also the benefit of interoperability and the magic of seed phrases.

yeah you could use phΓΆnix for this case

but it got to many buttons

i just feel more comfortable with loosing

sats to a lightning node instead the chain

People aren't as incapable as we sometimes seem to assume. If they can handle a WLAN password or any password on a piece of paper why not 12 words.

You could also use BIP85 and be the backup in case they fuck it up.

I educated a lot of people on the self custody wallet aspect, trust me.

Some dont get it that quick.

I mean a 1 minute app setup and receiving the first sats within seconds.

And then can instantly spent it again.

Wasn't my intention to sound like you are not educating on self custody. Just saying I prefer a solid onchain wallet setup for that case, it's unbeatable imo.

But the important part is, they get some sats for xmas and not some fiat crap nobody needs.

Plus… find them a nearby coffee shop/pizza place/etc on nostr:nprofile1qqsra2ey033mkdwl5w8q0jss9ak69zafh82xsuvhwsaauw3trkq2amgprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tc7g996k so they can have a little adventure and go spend it

good idea

or show them bitrefill

That's a good idea.. I agree with you πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

how many people did you onboard to lightning yet ?

Actually I think it is a very good idea! My kids always get Sats from me for Birthday on their own Wallet. They use nostr:npub1ajlrwgfj4yerhqf7ady03h7wmtk2qr3gs7h3sxcx83k05yld36sswpzx3q btw. And Christmas would be another very good occasion for Sats. πŸ‘πŸ»

yes aqua got it all in one app

its a good advice

They would not get it.
