Mischief if no coins given! Netizen hides Bitcoin gift cards in candy box, surprising reaction from children upon discovery

Cryptocurrency analyst and Bitcoin evangelist Brad Mills hid two Bitcoin gift cards in the candy boxes prepared for children on Halloween. What will the children's reactions be when they see Bitcoin?

Don't Want Candy, Just Bitcoin

On Halloween, October 31st, Brad Mills tweeted that in the Halloween candy box he prepared for kids, along with chocolates and candies, he included two gift cards worth 0.007 bitcoins (BTC), valued at around $100 each. Mills captured the reactions of the kids discovering the bitcoin gift cards on camera.

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

It gives me hope that these Zoomer kids actually know what Bitcoin is. pic.twitter.com/KnII3mU9Lt

A boy in a white costume excitedly exclaimed to his friends after rummaging through the box for a while:

"I just got a $100 bitcoin gift card!"

Another panda companion pulled out another card from the candy box. However, there were only two bitcoin gift cards, and the kids dressed as a rooster and in white searched the box for a long time only to find no bitcoin, with the one in white leaving disappointedly, kicking the box in frustration before walking away.

Shortly after, a group of girls heard about this and ran to Brad Mills' house, not for candy but for bitcoin.

When I got home with my daughter, there was a group of little girls who heard about the #Bitcoin cards, so we gave them some too.

A Lesson in Scarcity

While these kids may only know the card is worth $100 and not the significance it represents, the response from the cryptocurrency community has been quite positive, with many Twitter users stating that this is a lesson in scarcity for the kids. Cryptocurrency market statistician Willy Woo commented:

"This is historically significant, when these kids grow up, they will each only have 0.002 BTC or less."

This feels historic, 0.007 BTC in those treats.

When these kids come into power there'll only be 0.002 BTC per person to go around. LOL, probably even less as software apps will need their stash to route value in everyday operations. https://t.co/8mBGoTMGPW
