Re: Giving bitcoins as a gift?

I have been thinking...
Would it be totally crazy, if I gave 10-15 bitcoins to a woman, who helped me in a really really big way when I was younger.

I mean, would she think I was crazy if I do it?
Would it be a positive thing? Or just weird?

The coins were not worth much when I got them, so from that perspective, it's not THAT big a deal, right?

I would gladly give them to her, but I fear it could have a negative effect to what little friendship we have

And she is married with kids, so while I will always like her, there is no hidden agenda on my part here.   


If the help that you received back then was that useful for you then it is fine to show your appreciation of it with a gift, it is up to you how much you decide to give to her, just make sure the intention behind the gift is completely understood, as you say giving a gift to a woman could be interpreted as a sign of romantic interest, be clear with her about why you are giving her such a big gift, tell her that you really appreciate the help you were given back then and that it is just a sign of your friendship, if possible also talk with the husband present there so there is nothing being hidden from him, and finally also give them the chance to reject the gift and tell them they will owe you nothing if they accept it.
