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 !

It's definitely not blurred enough. Gaussian blurs are not good at concealing secrets. It should be completely blacked out. This reminds me of a 2017 story where security researchers swiped one of Roger Ver's wallets. https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/lets-enhance-how-we-found-rogerkver-s-1000-wallet-obfuscated-private-key-8514e74a5433
