I wouldn't give a gun to a child, or a snowboard to an 80 year old granny, but most people are capable to learn the basics of bitcoin.

Most people aren't using their devices effectively and often make serious mistakes. You need to be motivated and put some effort to use Bitcoin effectively, and many people will choose the path of least resistance, which is clicking on the first link they see, which can be some phishing or just bad info.

I'm not saying that anyone who will try to use Bitcoin will fail, but the risk is pretty high, so Bitcoin is not a safe gift, and bad gifts can spoil relationships. Also, gifting Bitcoin might look like you're trying to lure someone into this community, it's like gifting someone a religious book or something like that. Some people will view it as poor taste.

Firstly, the comparison between Bitcoin and religious gifts is very strange. Secondly, a person must understand that such a gift is not suitable for everyone, and if he knows the person well, he can figure out and understand whether it is worth giving him bitcoin.
