Impress the skeptic in your life with a crypto gift card

Crypto Christmas spirit is here. It’s a good thing, too, since Halloween is now dead to us. Here’s a crypto gift card idea worth considering.

Mariah Carey thaws out her wildly annoying Christmas carol, and people start shopping for presents. Decorations grow in malls like a seasonal mold. (Wait… Do we even go to malls anymore?).

You are reading this because you are already a crypto enthusiast. High five. Wow, you are so sexy with your crypto enthusiasm. But what about that Luddite in your life who refuses to bow to better ideas? How do you force them over to the crypto life?

Christmas crypto gift ideas

Here’s an idea. This is a crypto gift card, but it’s a little different than a regular gift card. You can give someone you love a gift card that allows them to spend their gift in crypto.

Called Giftcoin Cards, you don’t need to already have crypto to use them. The recipient does not need to have a crypto wallet.

Using a Giftcoin card, with a few taps, you create a gift card and send it to anyone in your contacts. You can also add a note that comes with the card. Like, “Hey grandpa, use this crypto, it won’t kill you, everything will be fine.”

After they receive it, they can tap and go…but instead of using gross fiat, they use super lovely crypto.

This might stop grandpa from saying that crypto is only for speculation. NO GRANDPA YOU CAN BUY AN IRISH COFFEE AND A CRUSHED COOKIE OKAY.

Retailers range from Starbucks to Louis Vuitton to Doordash. Gift card buyers select their preferred store, preferred cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum or Cardano, for example, and off they go. The card can be topped up with a credit card or with Apple pay/Google pay.

And the good thing here is that Grandpa can’t lose his wallet or the key code. It doesn’t work like a crypto exchange, so it’s an uncomplicated introduction to cryptocurrency

Crypto Christmas can be volatile

While the crypto gift card is a very sexy idea, the amount on the card is as volatile as the market. Say you give your loved one 500,000 Satoshi to spend at Starbucks. They might wake up one day and be able to buy twice as much coffee as they could on Christmas Day.

They can also see when crypto winter goes full Antarctic on them and drives their balance to zero. Then they will be lucky if they can afford a crumb from a crushed biscuit. But it’s the joy of the wild ride that is crypto. The recipient can see the price of their crypto in real time. And you share this rollercoaster ride with them because you are a generous God of gifts.

Flexibility

Ordinary gift cards mean that the recipient can only use them in the store in question. Giftcoin cards can be exchanged for another store, or another crypto.

Justin Lockwood is the CEO. “We wanted to give people a fun and easy way to get started with crypto and a way to use it in their everyday lives.”

Grandpa will be annoyed with you – like you’re a Mariah Carey carol. And then he will come around and love you and you will hopefully remain in the will.
