For those who want to give something special, please write a list of the most irresistible reasons to gift cryptocurrency to their loved ones!

Do you remember what you received for Christmas last year? Probably not. The quest to find the right Christmas is a daunting task for most people. That's why we thought to shake things up and about you computing reasons to put crypto under the tree. 🎄
1. Do not be boring
We all hope to find a gift that is useful, not too expensive and surprising. Yet we usually end up on the safe and boring side: socks, cooking book, Netflix subscription. Where did the fun go?
Now imagine yourself as the cool uncle / sister / friend who puts Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash under the tree! Instantly everyone will think of you as the next, Steve Jobs visionary.
2. Cryptocurrency is universal
The main challenge of finding the perfect gift is that people are picky and have specific taste and interests. Cryptocurrencies are common useful regardless of age, gender, relationship status and living situation. Your loved ones are free to use their new coins however they wish: spend, save or give them further!
3. It is not expensive
Many people who hear in the news that Bitcoin is valued over 15 000 dollars, many assume that they can not afford cryptocurrencies. However, when you come to these coins, usually you do not have buy a whole unit, you can buy any amount. Purchasing and giving is even simpler when you choose a cryptocurrency that has low transaction fees. Also, remember: you can always sell or buy more if you are not happy with the amount you own.
4. A gift that keeps on giving
What happens when you buy a TV? Its value depreciates over time. How about a fancy bag for your mom? Once she starts wearing it, the material loses from it's original beauty. Cryptocurrencies work differently. Imagine, if you had given Bitcoin for last Christmas, your family / friend would now have a gift that grew 10-15x in value! (Just keep in mind, it's impossible to predict how the price will change in the future.)
5. No wrapping required
Giving cryptocurrencies is simple. All you need is to have a wallet for the currency of your choice e.g. BTC.com wallet for Bitcoin & Bitcoin Cash. Once both you and the giftee have a wallet set up, simply transfer the preferred amount to his / her address. This is also an excellent opportunity to show and explain how cryptocurrencies work. Of course, you can also opt for a more "physical gift" such as handing the funds sealed in a paper or hardware wallet.
