Gift Bitcoin in Three Clicks

In 2010, if you gave everyone a Bitcoin for Christmas, they would’ve laughed at you.
In 2023? They’re not laughing anymore.
(Well, not as much.)
The problem is -- and I know this firsthand -- gifting Bitcoin to someone who knows nothing about crypto is a pain in the a$$.
Fortunately, that’s changed.
Enter River Financial.
“If You Can Text, You Can Send Bitcoin.”
River Financial is a Bitcoin-exclusive financial institution focused on integrating Bitcoin investing with traditional finance.
They offer secure, easy-to-use buying and selling services, lots of good educational resources, and put a huge emphasis on customer support and security.
One of the biggest complaints about Coinbase is their customer support. Haven’t heard a negative word from River users.
I’ve kept a close eye on them for three reasons:
1.] They have an office relatively close to my hometown.
2.] They make buying Bitcoin EASY.
3.] Users can dollar-cost average with ZERO fees.
Just recently, they launched a new service called “River Link.”
And it’s the easiest way I know of to give the gift of Bitcoin.
If you’ve ever texted someone a link to a website, you can gift Bitcoin.
And…
All they have to do to receive the BTC is click the link and follow the instructions.
So if you’re looking for a last-minute gift, consider the following…
Here’s How it’s Done
Here’s the quick tutorial.
Once you create an account and buy Bitcoin (easy), you can then send Bitcoin to anyone.
(FYI, this is not my account.)
Just click the “send” button.
Click “Send with River link”...
Enter the required details…
Confirm those details…
Share the link with anyone.
The Bitcoin will remain on your account until your recipient claims the Bitcoin.
It’s really that easy.
You can either print the link out and put it inside a card…
Or simply text the link to the recipient.
With Christmas only a week away (and a spot Bitcoin ETF likely less than a month away), Bitcoin is an excellent gift idea for your crypto-curious friends and family.
