tough love from uncle mike  

 You gotta be touch to help them 😂  

 * tough 

 Interestingly, 3 years ago, I gave two of my nephews 250,000 BTC each. They were older, so I gave them the seed phrase on their cards.

One is a gamer, so he sold his immediately, after the price had crashed, to buy in-game shitcoins and spent them all. 

The younger is not very technical so hasn’t touched them (I still have the seed phrases and check occasionally).

The younger one turns 18 in a couple of years time. I might, on his birthday message him the current value of his holding in GBP

 I have a niece named Finley, never heard of anyone else with that name 

 He / Him is Scottish / Foreign 😂 

 I wish I had an uncle like you 🥹 

 Me too 😂 

 Bravo! Out of interest, how did you gift them? 

 We're just telling them and keeping a manual tally and will send them the Sats on their 18th Birthday if their capable of self custody. 

We did this for a couple of older nephews a few years ago, which was less successful:

BTW: I meant Sats, not BTC 😂

 That’s cool! I think it’s a good idea. You could give them a “view only” wallet then they can keep an eye on it but can’t move it until you give them the key.. much better than a traditional 21 key! 

 Good idea, that could be a stepping stone to full self custody for them.

Makes it more tangible.
