Bitcoin was given as a salary in some country. Some corporate had realized the importance of bitcoin in future and give their people with the payment of bitcoin.It's better idea to give bitcoin as a valentine gift. Because you are going to give gift to the people who is your life partner. If you gift them bitcoin and say her to hold it till the next peak. She will get more from it.
Giving bitcoin as salary looks cool but i would not accept them as salary because of the high volatility and i always felt them as publicity stunts. Giving bitcoin as gift is a good option but you cannot dictate on what they do with the gift even if it is your partner.I used to give away coins in the past when teaching new users about cryptocurrency but now a days i seldom do any giveaway because of the valuation
