Hello, Jay from bitkee here.

We were actually discussing a new design as a "gift card" to give someone BTC as a gift maybe for a Birthday or Holiday. Wink We will probably incorporate a denomination on it somewhere too, for example "0.1 BTC" or even "1.0 BTC" somewhere on the card.

We would try our best to bring down the price for these as we understand someone will be buying them and then loading BTC onto the addresses and then gifting them to a friend/family.

While a paper wallet made of paper is a great gift, I personally feel like a "paper" wallet out of metal will less likely be disposed of in the future as it is hard to throw one of these bitkees away when you're holding it and see how it is not easily destroyed! In other words it is solid and has weight.

I see that your friend is already tech-savvy and libertarian-minded so maybe a paper wallet made of "paper" might be just fine for her/him. But for a skeptic of Bitcoin they may appreciate the gift when received but as time passes they may just see view it as a foreign piece of paper with "gibberish" on it that holds no value for them and thus easily discard it. Just my thoughts.

Contact us at info@bitkee.com and let us know if you're interested and we can get started on creating a "Gift" card layout for gifting to friends.

I check Bitcointalk from time to time, so it is easiest to reach us at info@bitkee.com

Thank you,
Jay @ bitkee
