This is so awesome! Back in the day, I sent my younger brother $100 worth of Ethereum when ETH was valued at $14. He's now invested in multiple coins! Got to start them young and teach them about investing. Regardless if BCH skyrockets or not, it's an awesome gift and learning opportunity.

I saw a joke on Reddit the other day, someone bet someone $1 of Ethereum, and a when Ethereum peaked he sent a text with a picture of the transaction and said "Thanks for the $80".

It's actually really crazy how that can happen. haha. I heard a story about a guy that invested something like $100 in BTC way back in the day. Supposedly, that $100 was a nice number of BTC. Because BTC grew so much, he bought a Lamborghini using BTC and he went around telling people he bought a Lambo for $100. Not bad.

The first BTc purchase was 10000 btc for two pizzas. The value has changed exponentially.

I just don’t see Bitcoin cash to overpass Bitcoin, but if I’m wrong I will definitely remember your post.

Probably not, but I think it is definitely a possibility. Bitcoin has serious issues, especially with the people behind it. It may survive as a store of value, but more and more people are switching to LTC/BCH for day to day use and at some point, you just end up moving completely.
I have thought about it myself. When I first got my hardware wallet, it was saying $177 to move each wallet to my hardware wallet, a few days later I was able to do it for $41 and $39. To send $100 to my son's wallet would have been 10% ($10) fee. Insanity.
I saw this meme referenced recently and shows how poorly Bitcoin aged.

There's plenty of space for both, but more people will want to use BCH

Lightning network is working on the test net. Q1 2018 we'll see it on Bitcoin. And at that moment Bitcoin will shut many mouths without talking.

very cool, I really like your color printer! :D
jokes aside, it is an interesting way to get your family more involved in crypto and potentially curious enough to take the time to learn more.

What is he gonna do with 0.04 BCH other than sell it? He can't even donate them to The Pirate Bay.

It’s $100, it’s a start and see where it is in 6-10 years and by then he will likely put more in.
