 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

 Did you mean to say 250K sats and not BTC by any chance 😂🫂 
 Yeh, 250,000 BTC.

Saylor is a pussy with his tiny holding 😂

 I still do not know if I read it correctly. Even when I looked at the price 3 years ago it seems to be... well... a lot :D. Was it really 250 000 BTC?  
 Sorry Sats, not BTC 😂  
 Imagine confusing Sats and BTC when making a payment IRL 😂

 Imagine he sold 250000 btc for gaming tokens? 😂 He'd be the new btc pizza guy 😂 
 Imagine how big his weapon arsenal would be 🤣 
 Satoshi is that you? 😂 sorry had to pile on! 
 I’m going to start a legal case against BSV claiming that I’m the real Craig.

I’ve forged all the documents I need already.

For certain I’m going to win 😂 
 They're pussies 😂

 Haha my IRA account highly disagrees 🙂 
 Slightly controversial, but I'm not going to argue:

 You did not send them 250,000 bitcoins 🤣 
 Sats, BTC, it's all the same 😂  
 Haha 🤣, can I have 250k sats too? 
 Work hard, focus, sacrifice your worldly pleasures and who knows?

One day! 
 Well I already have it I just want more, if you have so many bitcoins as you say you can afford to send me 1/400th of one. 
 Sure pal, anything for a fren 🫂 
 Thanks! 🤣 
 There’s 21 to be getting on with, I’ll send the rest soon. 
 Thanks! I’ll guard them with my life 
 Don’t be an asshole. 

Never forget: don’t be an asshole. 

The ones who believe I am one don’t understand. Nor is it on me to train these dim minds anymore. Facts!!! 
 Anyone owning more than 100 needs to dm me. The more people, the better. 
 You DM’d me 😂

So you must have more than 100 BTC!

 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.
