The Rise of Crypto Gifting
Came December, a fascinating trend is brewing in the gift-giving space: cryptocurrencies! According to BlockFi’s enlightening survey, nearly 10% of Americans are ready to dial up their holiday spirit by gifting digital assets. Who needs a pesky gift card when you could drop a Bitcoin down someone’s virtual chimney?
Bitcoin Takes the Crown
When it comes to crypto gifts, Bitcoin is the undisputed heavyweight champion, snatching up a whopping 75% of the favoritism among future crypto gift givers. Second-place isn’t too shabby either, with Dogecoin and Ether cruising along in the background, but let’s be real—there’s just something magical about that first Bitcoin under the tree.
NFTs Still Need Some Work
Don’t go wrapping NFT gifts just yet! Only a meager 2% of respondents expressed interest in the charming world of Non-Fungible Tokens as potential holiday gifts. Sounds like NFTs need to hit the playground a little longer before they’re considered legitimate gift material.
The Holiday Dinner Debate: Crypto or Politics?
Break out the fruitcake! This holiday season, it appears one in three respondents are more excited about discussing the latest crypto trends than hashing out family arguments about politics. It’s a refreshing twist that might spare grandma from collapsing at the dinner table. Sorry boomers, the kids want to talk Bitcoin.
The Need for Crypto Education
Despite the growing popularity of crypto, the survey revealed that less than 25% of people know how to actually gift this modern currency. Talk about a buzzkill! As crypto becomes the hot topic, it’s clear that educating the masses is essential for a successful crypto gifting experience. BlockFi’s co-founder, Flori Marquez, highlighted this need for knowledge—it’s time we all know how to send some coins as presents!
The New Year’s Crypto Resolutions
Looking ahead, millennials are feeling optimistic. One-third of them expressed intentions to buy crypto in 2022—the enthusiasm is contagious. However, it tapers off with older generations, dropping to 25%. Interestingly, Gen Zers are leaning toward Dogecoin purchases over Ether, showcasing a generational flavor in crypto tastes.
