Hi everyone,

The festive season is here! 🎄
Why not surprise your loved ones with the gift of Bitcoin 🎁?

This unique idea might raise a few questions, since Bitcoin isn’t a physical asset:

    How can you gift Bitcoin as easily as handing over cash?
    How can you ensure the gift doesn’t rely on a trusted third party (no seed phrases, no PIN codes...)?
    How can you share Bitcoin with someone who may not be familiar with this technology?

Here are a few simple solutions:

- the good old paper wallet - require you to have an offline computer, a paper wallet generator (preferably not corrupted  ) and a printer

Pros:
-- Free
-- Easy to do

Cons:
-- You have to find a good keypair generator that allow a strong entropy
-- You see the private key at some point
-- Weak support

- the original Opendime

Pros:
-- Easy to setup
-- Reliable - I'd like it to be 100% open source

Cons:
-- Must be destroyed to reveal the private key - so the gift does'nt exist anymore...
-- The support is a bit geeky
-- No mobile option - can only be used on a computer

- the evolved Satscard

Pros:
-- Easy to setup
-- Reliable - I'd like it to be 100% open source
-- The card form factor is a plus!

Cons:
-- Can only be used 10 times

- the new disruptive Satodime

Pros:
-- Easy to setup
-- 100% open source, that's a very good point
-- The card form factor is a plus!
-- Can be re-used forever
-- Mobile and desktop support

Cons:
-- Look like it supports shitcoins
