“# \u2018I got Bitcoin!\u2019 \u2014 trick-or-treaters rewarded with crypto <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

While many children dressed as ghosts, goblins, and witches last night may have been disapp<\/a>ointed to find an inedible thin piece of cardboard left out in a goodie bag, a lucky few recognized the treat as a Bitcoin prize.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to an Oct. 31 tweet from Brad Mills, the crypto user filled<\/a> a Halloween candy box with more than just chocolates and sweets \u2014 he also added $200 in Bitcoin (BTC) cards. Mills posted a video of him adding the two gift cards, each worth roughly 0.007 BTC following the coin\u2019s rise to $14,000, and filmed the reactions of trick or treaters in his Canadian neighborhood. <\/p>\n

One boy in a white costume was the first to meticulously dig through the box before saying to his group of friends, \u201cI just got a $100 Bitcoin gift card!\u201d <\/p>\n

Someone else in the group retrieved the other card from the candy pile, repeatedly cheering \u201cI got Bitcoin! I got Bitcoin!\u201d leaving one of the two remaining children in chicken and sloth costumes to come up empty handed before asking, \u201cWhat\u2019s a Bitcoin?\u201d Mills\u2019 family later gave<\/a> a few more BTC cards to a visiting group of girls who had heard about the crypto giveaway.<\/p>\n

I put some $100 @RiseWallet<\/a> #Bitcoin<\/a> cards in my box of Halloween candy & captured the moment when some random trick-or-treaters found them.<\/p>\n

Though minors aren\u2019t specifically barred from HODLing or trading cryptocurrencies in some countries, many exchanges still require verification to ensure its users are over the age of 18. As the children from Mills\u2019 video are in Canada, they have access to Bitcoin ATMs, but most likely not local regulated exchanges to deposit their BTC or trade it for fiat.<\/p>\n

Despite some of the children involved not understanding about the coins, reactions from the crypto community were positive, with many Twitter<\/a> users stating it was a good lesson in scarcity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis feels historic,\u201d said<\/a> crypto statistician Willy Woo. \u201cWhen these kids come into power there’ll only be 0.002 BTC per person to go around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other good samaritans have given away cryptocurrency seemingly in an effort to promote adoption. Cointelegraph reported in September that one anonymous benefactor distributed more than $1,000 in Bitcoin Cash (BCH) around the Californian city of Bakersfield \u201cto spread awareness\u201d among ‘nocoiners’ and ‘newcoiners’ alike. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
