For the past 3 years, instead of buying $50 toys that often end up unused after 2 days for birthdays and Christmas, I’ve been printing custom paper wallets bitcoins as gifts instead.
This year, he is obsessed about Pokemon cards...
So I made him a Bitcoin Pokémon-style card 7.5cm x 11.3cm with his face & best friend (stylized using ChatGPT).
Instead of HP and attacks, I put simple explanations of public key, blockchain and proof-of-work
It turns the Bitcoin into something fun and memorable for a 4 year old.
Over the years, this little tradition has unexpectedly orange-pilled friends, family, and even a few parents at school. Kids show the cards to each other, adults ask questions, and suddenly Bitcoin feels less abstract.
PS: if you have any improvements on the card, please feel free !
