I had actually intended to make a thread like this today. Thanks for taking the initiative, OP.
I think I could probably figure out how use Bitcoin, so long as I didn't want to be anonymous. Which I do. I have read a number of tutorials on how to stay anonymous using that system, and I swear, there aren't three words together that I can understand. As far as I know, a Blockchain is the thing on a hotel door that lets you open it 3", so you can kind of talk to someone on the other side, but they can't force their way in.
I also am unsure what gift cards would be useful, or where I could send them.
