No Europe? Can you explain why Europeans are not included? EU regulations I guess.
Can you confirm?
but I am from Europe..
In addition to giving away 3,000 Moons to r/CryptoCurrency users, Kraken has burned 7,000 Moons for this event
If you’re outside the US you can still share your Christmas crypto stories here for a chance to earn 1,000 Moons from Kraken!

*sad european noises*
Kraken–where are the updated proof of reserves? If you won’t update them, what are you hiding?
Where is the daily discussion thread?
Sadly not for us Europeans.

Charismas crypto story… Had a great Christmas last year, didn’t look at the crypto markets for over 2 weeks.
We can’t enter the contest but at least we have the Eurovision Song Contest
Why not Canada? You paid millions in fine by the SEC, and they just charged you again meanwhile your operating freely in Canada, and who is left out ?
Explaining needed please ?
My best Christmas story is one from great year of 2023 when I got gifted 1000 moons by Kraken (just before BTC went up to 100k few weeks after).
cries in europe 🙁
>Be a resident in the U.S., Latin America, Africa, Asia (ex Japan) or Oceania²
Joooooooo…. nope.
Come on involve uk too
All I want for Christmas is moons at $100
This seems like a low effort marketing campaign. Not something I expect from a professional exchange.
It’s a red flag if you ask me. /u/jespow
Nothing for Canada? Is Maple Syrup not good ?
Well fuck. Why not UK?
Nice. Just announce me as a winner and make it simple for everyone.
Europe getting screwed over.
Last Christmas was more than just a holiday for me—it became a remarkable chapter in my life, blending the magic of the season with an unexpected twist involving cryptocurrency. As snowflakes gently fell, I found myself drawn into an exhilarating journey.
It all started with a secret Santa event organized by a group of friends. Instead of the usual gift exchange, we decided to incorporate cryptocurrency, each of us contributing a small amount to a digital wallet. The catch? The wallet’s private key was split among us, and it could only be unlocked when all the friends reunited on Christmas Day.
The excitement was palpable as we gathered, each of us bringing our piece of the key. With anticipation bubbling within us, we combined our segments, unveiling the digital treasure trove. But what we found wasn’t just about the value—it was about the message embedded within.
Inside the wallet was a collective donation we had made to a local charity, supporting families in need during the holiday season. We had used the power of cryptocurrency to bring warmth and joy to others, and the impact was immediate. The charity was overwhelmed by our gesture, and the families we helped were touched beyond words.
But the story didn’t end there. The act of giving sparked a ripple effect within our group. Inspired by our Christmas gesture, we decided to continue contributing to various charitable causes throughout the year, using cryptocurrency as a tool for positive change.As the months passed, our small contributions accumulated, aiding different communities, supporting educational initiatives, and even assisting in environmental conservation efforts. What started as a holiday experiment evolved into a year-long mission of spreading positivity through the power of crypto.
Last Christmas wasn’t just about the gifts or the festivities—it was about discovering the immense potential of cryptocurrency to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. It taught us that technology, when coupled with compassion and generosity, could create a brighter future for everyone.
Looking back, I realize that the true gift of that holiday season wasn’t the contents of the digital wallet but the spirit of kindness and unity it ignited among us—a spirit that continues to guide us, one positive crypto transaction at a time.
read with joy and kindly send moons to chatgbt

I don’t have a twitter account and if I make one it won’t count
‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the blockchain,
Not a miner was stirring, no transactions to gain.
The wallets were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Satoshi soon would be there.
The hodlers were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Bitcoin danced in their heads.
And Mama in her hardware wallet, and I with my keys,
Had just settled our wallets for a long winter’s freeze.
When out on the internet there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my wallet to see what was the matter.
Away to the computer, I flew like a flash,
Opened my browser and cleared the cache.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of midday to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name.
“Now, Bitcoin! Now, Ethereum! Now, Litecoin and Ripple!
On, Dogecoin! On, Cardano! On, Solana and NEM!
To the top of the market! To the top of them all!
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!”
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of crypto, and St. Nicholas too.
And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof,
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in red, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of crypto he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes—how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the wallets, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Crypto to all, and to all a good night!”.
This might be written by my good friend CG (aka Chat gpt) but has a chance to let me tell my kids how I won 1000 moons as a crypto Christmas story.
Last Christmas Ghost of Christmas past visited me and showed me the future:
” Kids I spent whole of 2022 earning Moons all through Christmas, holidays and work. Then Kraken listed Moons and stuck by our side even when reddit sunsetted our beloved coin and we came out stronger then ever. That was our christmas miracle Now that Moons have become BTC of Social Tokens, flipped Doge’s ath mcap and $1000, we can enjoy our dinner in this warm beaufiful home”
And thats why I never sold a single Moon of my 140k
Here’s my story, it’s a work of fiction but I hope you guys like it.
Miracle Airdrop
It was a cold winter evening. Joe, as he usually does, spent his day doing his favorite activity, watching the price of crypto currencies to search for a perfect opportunity to enter a trade. But this day was different, for it was Christmas Eve and Joe was far away from his family in a hotel on the other side of the country and needed to be tomorrow with his daughter and wife that he promised he would be together on this jolly holiday.
Joe was never a good trader. He would always lose money and invest in the worst possible coins right after they had a rally with the highest of leverage and unfortunately this habit would slowly transform into an addiction that made him estranged from the people he holds most dear. He lived separated from them for the last few months because of this addiction but promised his daughter that he will spend Christmas.
Unfortunately, as for all bad habits, it left with the nearly broke and instead with the money he intended to buy a train ticket for today he gambled it on a crypto currencies called Scamcoin Inu, truly a great project to invest and make money on. What could possibly go wrong? In the meantime Joe was going to the train station to buy his ticket with the money he would make from his trade. But as he’s about to exit his position and withdraw the money for the ticket, as to no one’s surprise, the project was a rug pull and after a few hours from his wise decision Joe was left with absolutely 0 dollars. The train was coming in an hour and as it was the last train to come until after Christmas, Joe was left to panic. What will he do?
-I can’t disappoint Jane again, he said to himself but he could no longer do anything and soon realized he could no longer do anything.
It was getting late. The freezing cold of winter has swept in the empty halls of the Train station. Joe was now feeling lost and disappointed in himself
-How could I be this stupid? Why do I do this to myself. My wife was right,I should have stopped when I started to lose money and now I am going to lose everything because of me.
Sorrowed and left without any hope, Joe opens his exchange app to see his portfolio one last time. Maybe something has changed. Maybe he could buy a sandwich with what was left to cheer himself up a bit. He opens the app and moves his eyes to his portfolio but to his surprise a miracle has happened. The exchange airdropped a new token to everyone that used it in the past and Joe got all his money he lost in the last few months and a nice bonus. Joe no longer was broke. He had enough to buy his ticket and thankfully the train was running late. He got another chance to make things right!
The train arrived and got on it. As it traversing the snowy white hills of the country side, alone on this lonely train Joe was left to meditate on the past and he finally understood that he was lucky to still have money and to still see his family and so he vowed to never be so irresponsible with his money ever again, to never “ape”, as he said, into crypto currencies and to finally quit his addiction once and for
all.
