How hard would be for a grown man who is getting married and who is going to have his own house, to learn something about ownership of Bitcoin before he accepts it as a gift from you?

Look, I don't disagree, But I don't want to force my opinions on him or ask him to learn how to do something that he maybe doesn't want to. I thought Bitcoin would be a great housewarming gift and something he would never expect. It's also meant to be a surprise.

My fear is that your friend, whenever finds out how to "move"/spend his BTC, with all the excitement, will eventually fall into some scam due to the lack of knowledge regarding this world.

He is a smart lad and he isn't gullible. He would never fall for the obvious scams. I would of course tell him to check with me for every step he decides to take with his coins. Whether that includes selling them on an exchange, moving them to a different wallet, re-investing into something else, etc.

I think I'm not giving a "world breaking" recommendation by suggesting the use of OPENDIME[1] right?

I have to admit that I forgot about the Opendime and didn't consider that option. Thanks!

What about using Binance? Letting them register them and just send them a gift card? Look at the link below.

I didn't know Binance offers gift cards. The only problem is that new accounts have to undergo KYC now. So he would have to perform identity verification. Since I don't like doing that myself, I don't want to suggest that he does. Do you know any other exchange where you could purchase a gift card that doesn't require KYC?

IMO, you might just annoy them with that kind of gift.

I don't think I will. He knows about Bitcoin's value. At one point he even considered mining it. He is a gamer and always has good computers and GPUs. He thought he could put them to good use mining Bitcoin but unfortunately I shattered his dreams.

You can still achieve that by inviting them over to assist in creating those in a safe environment, then simply look away when it's time for the seeds to appear ^{[instruct them to write it down in a safe place]}, and lastly, delete all traces of the wallet from your side.

We live and work in different cities. I haven't seen him in almost 2 months and his housewarming party will be the first time we get together after a while.
