Bitcoin Forum

Let's say that one day you died for any reason and no one in the family understands these things or you do not have family.

What kind of plan do you have ?

Probably to y wife she knows it all  ;D

far away i will tell my wife about my account so that when i die my account can change hands to my wife xixixixi ;D

Then let is as it is. this accounts don't rot and so what? if a die then the accounts stay mine or if somebody who doesn't know crypto found my account because they stole my pc work it then great.

Good idea, it never crossed my mind. I'd better teach my wife that she also understands about bitcoin, so if anything happens to me, she already understands this

I've have written code of my ledger on a peace of paper, so probably if i die soon in my willow will be instructions to the place where paper is stored :D and through no one knows nothing of what these things are, im sure they will struggle to get those coins out to reality :D because i have a few years left to pay some stuff and im sure they wont go easy :D but first of all, i have to write down my willow in case if truly something happens, never thought of that im going to die before i get to the moon and ride lambo on it :D

I will give it to someone close to me
but, if my family is alive, I will give it to them ..
if they can not use it, i will prepare the guide from now on..

I would give it to my wife, she don’t understand a thing but at least she would know what to do with this account, I hope so. If not then we lose it. Simple as A B C.

before i die, i give my password accounts to my family  ;D

All of our online accounts will still exist until the end of the world, even though there is no activity happening in your account it will stay where ever you left it. Watch this video for more information about that question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXJnrhO28DY

As I am alive, i will allow my family know more about what i am into so that they continue in case I am not there.

I give you my account

the plan that I will do is I will give the order to my closest people (friend) so that he will take care of me when I die later. I would also be very happy if the day of my death I already know far afield, with it I can prepare it as possible.

ill left my private key for my friend:)
He will use it wisely.

I wouldn't care about my account. I think it doesn't make sense

I will give all to my family

If anyone in my family does not know what this is, then I will teach them so that if ever I died, they will recover my private keys so that they can cash it out. Also, I will explain to them how this campaign works so that they can continue what I am doing. I won't let my account to be wasted.

This is one of he real worries if you have a significant amount of crypto currencies.  Only you know your private keys and wallet passwords.  What happens if you suddenly pass away?  With online exchanges, at least there is some verification that you own those accounts.  

It is high advisable to put one or two persons through about your private information in cryptocurrency details because no body knows tomorrow.

The bank will be benefit.

my account die with me  8)

No family? I have started teaching my kids and wife on crypto.

What I'm planning now is that immediately I get married I will teach my wife and kids how to trade on bitcointalk trading

Maybe go with me

When having an account in bitcoin or any other valuable items, you must at least secure it by entrusting it to one of your family members.  All the account information should be relayed to that family member whom you trusted the most.  Now if a family member is what you don't have, there is so called will and testament.  Consult it in legal matter and ask your lawyer to donate your wealth to an institution.

I will pass it on to my family.

i got no plans for this, i guess they are left in a limbo

I will give to my family gan. or maybe I'll sell it.

I thought the same thing and also I thought what will happen to my ETH wallets and if I die no one will find about those

That is a good thing to do but if your death happen suddenly you wont able to do that and that is where the problem occur

My account will be no longer active on this forum, no more active status, no more posts.

I have a friend who knows all details and liquidate everything. And i hope he gave them to my family not keep for himself :D

Nothing. probably gone with you If no one hacks it. lol  ;D

you need to let someone be aware of your accounts and how crypto works so that in the case of any happenings your toil wont go waste...or it might go to crypto charity funds...lolx ;D

good question, I have remembered this from a long time ago, and I have created a guidebook about all my account data and saved it in the book and on Google Drive, I told this to my sister and I also told her about the prize campaign.

Finally a effectif way to hodl !

One of the wors things that may ever happen is that somebody will posthumously continue using your account

I used to watch this crap couple of times. I understand that the family is overwhelmed and grieving, and I cannot forbid them to live with this illusion, but such sittuations are really creepy

Delete your acounts and clear your browser history ;D ::)

Probably leave a will

If someone dies, he doesn’t care what happens to his account and where he goes. I think it's silly to talk about that. And on the front to think on this topic as it is not right. Come what may

If only this forum account, it will be gone with me, but for crypto currency wallet, it's already on a text file and I will keep it safe for my family.
why you imagine this  ;D

I think my account is stored for a very long time.

I'll keep a notebook with all my accounts

I would really like it to disappear, but I think it will not work

all my accounts pasword,logins my close family have alredy:)

after my death it's the end of the world, I would promise nothing to anyone in my family because I'm not sure that I  die first ;D
but the first one to grab my PC and my storage disks will get the treasure and he is free to do what he wants with it.

Which account? Btctalk account you mean?

Interesting question, I really haven't think about it yet, but if I were to die, I'll put up every account I have on my will and pass it on my kid if I have any. Containing instructions and everything he/she will need. I'll also include and suggest for him/her to check Bitrus for it will be a good training ground for them, for it has a user-friendly interface and tools that are designed to assist its user according to their expertise, it also has an active community to assist them on the way.

For most people if they would die all the accounts is gone since all the informations are lost. There are a very few persons who save their accounts and informations into a safe place where family could find it in case they die but since no one expects to die suddenly I don't think anyone worries to much about their accounts.

Really depends from service to service, never saw a good solution for that.

I think that crypto platforms should add an option of sending assets to "emergency contact" in case their owner passed away.

I will give to someone who are very close to me.

I have a very close family member that knows how to handle my accounts since I started from his teachings so I definitely trust him to have my account if there's anything happen on me.

No one in my family knows about these things. But my cousin will.

How would they even know your passwords and such if you are already dead?

Me and that family member lives on a same house so he basically knows everything about me so I won't be surprised if he can guess my passwords of my accounts in e-wallet and online casinos (https://to.crwd.cr/cm). That is what good about family (in my case), you can trust them with all your stuff and you know them well that they won't betray you. It might be difficult for some because even if they trust their family, most of the time their family doesn't know they have an account for crypto or if they do, they don't understand how it works. So while there is still time, I hope everyone else would let there family knows what they do in this industry.

Imagine you leave your child an instruction on how to get in touch with your digital asset and they like " What is this private key? "  :D I'll do the same thing as you man. I don't have an idea what Bitrus is, what is that? an exchange? a blog for becoming a trader?

I really have to take arrangements for in case this happens. Legally my wifecand kids will inherit the value of the funds in the accounts and wallets. But without all the different codes and 2fa protection etcetera they will not be able to access the accounts. Best way to go forward is to visit a notary i guess.

Hey,
did you check the topic i created about making sure my half knows what to do :

It is here : [Postmortem crypto plan] : making sure my wife will know what to do ! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5093345.msg49055575#msg49055575)

Maybe you can inspire yourself from it.

I would create some sort of scavenger hunt if you know you're going to die (or even leave it in your will) and the end discovery will be the pot of gold aka your private keys

In facebook for instance, they put RIP flair in the account as far as I know.

i hope that my account will be continued by someone i know, i don't want this account die.
anyway, even if i got the wallet password inside does not matter because i would be no longer in the world anyways, unless i was incarnated to the same world and nothing forgotten from the past.

Am yet to get married but once I do, I will let my wife know where she can find the details of my accounts and how to access them

Go to work

Say they don't understand blockchain, well someday they will, hopefully in the near future. Say no family, well someone (like neighbor/friend) will inherit it or it will just die with me and without me (become a vampire ghost accounts) 😁

You're talking about your Btctalk account or not? You didn't reply.

I really don't know if my cousins knew my bitcoin wallet and other cryptocurrencies. I'm sure they will remember it when that happens. My accounts are not that secured so they can still know it by guessing cause they know me.

If I die, everything goes on my mom and my dad. "Dead men switch", what activates when I'm dead. I don't have family or kiddos.

I already all secure all my password and email to the scure place and once I die they will get that got in the right place.  I said to my family this because that's good for them if they know bitcoin so incase Im die they know what they do. But now they did not know my password.

The very moment i entered crypto investment,i have this idea already because this was been thought by my cousin who introduced bitcoin to me
Thats why i have told my wife about crypto and everything that i engaged in here is on her knowledge.

Maybe you will ask me why?because its simply that i ak working for their future Hers and our Children's so i see no problem whatever she wanted to do incase it happens

Teach all these things to someone from your family who you trust the most because on cryptos there is no ways to recover the coins if there is no private keys even exchanges won't give any coins when you forget your login details.Either you should open locker on bank and write all these things detailed or just tell them now.

I haven't made any prior steps to make use of the crypto holdings of mine. At present I have kept a separate file for all my wallets which is known to my family. If something unexpected takes place my family members can look into the wallet for any fund available. If there is some fund they can make use of it.

I need to start teaching my wife about how to access them.

I did not think about it before, but if I told my family or my wife about this work, they would not benefit from it because they do not know anything about the work. But I will teach her to ensure that she and my children continue to work.
And even teach my children

i didnt thought of this before what about accounts when i die. after seeing this post now i trying to decide what to do. but we don't know when will our last breath. If we decide to hand over account a trusted person and unfortunately he die before you. But i think account should be disabled once they know the person has been died. but the reason is someone want their memories that they have share always remain in mems.

I think the account will be deleted

I have written down the most important passwords to my accounts and emails and put in a safe envelope that only my closest relatives know about

I think my brother or my wife would take over for my account and my crypto's.
They already know my password and stuffs about crypto so I think it wouldn't be a waste.

I remember there's crypto inheritance service from some companies, that you can set up and then will be carried out when the time comes.

Basically i don't have much idea about cryptocurrency . But in future if a die then the accounts will be stay mine and i would not like to share it with others person . Because i don't know when i will die .

I have stored the information of all my account in a hard drive so that my family could access my accounts and use the money. It has happened with the forum when a member who held currency on behalf of the forum died and the forum lost a lot of BTC.

If you ever get your own family, then you should tell them how to open your account in the case you one day are no longer here. Write down your seed words so your family can find them.

There is one great project now that you can rely this kind of issue,the Infinitus Team (INF) in which. Listed in coinmarketcap now is offering a service thru your wallet(that they created) to safe keep you crypto assets in times of emergency like this and you can be sure of the safeties of all you coins/tokens whenever you died or gone i no expected time with very low charge, you can check their site INFINITUS.COM

i have realized that and i share it with my daughter . i hope in future after my death she can

I will record all my account and websites where I can access all of my accounts and save them to a flash disk that can later be accessed by my wife and family. And fortunately, my wife and sister know a little about this stuff.

login details for any exchange / mining pools /  privatekeys / bla bla
encrypted and stored somewhere where no one get it.

:-)
lets wait for quantum computers and the first one who bruteforced
satoshis first hundred blocks ^^

I just found out that Google and Facebook allows you to give access to trustful person in case you do not access your accounts after one year. I think this is a good way to do it. You and this persons will have a notification after 6 months and then after a year they get the access and a last message where you can tell them all they have to check and that they love them and want to share with them your 4233.392 BTC

No one knows about my accounts,so if ever I die my account will also be die.

but in term of cryptocurrency if ever I erned a lot from here I will teach my wife about this account to heritage my money that I have.

This is one of the reasons why it is very important that you create a will and make instructions on how to retrieve your cryptocurrency or your accounts on various forums exchanges, you can do this by creating a video or you can create a note pad or wordpad or whatever you are comfortable writing and write how to do these things.

For some time I think about it and there is no clear answer.
I believe only my wife but she does not care about bitcoin or the Internet and does not want to learn about it.
I don't know, really.

When you die, your former accounts won't be yours any longer. So, if you think that you would like to gift them, plan now. The will idea is a good idea if you don't have anything with siginifigant value. Otherwise, use a trust for things of great value.

Use a simple trust, often called a pure trust. Make one of the beneficiaries to be the trustee. Write the trust up in a way that orders the successor trustee to divide the property as you have designated. You can even use different trusts for different property that you wish to give to various people, with the person as the successor trust of the trust that holds property that will become his on your demise.

If you use a will for larger properties of greater value, much of the property will go to the attorney representing the will... or the State.

Don't use a living or revocable trust. These can be broken by a greedy beneficiary or attorney in the courts.

That's bad, you needed to convince her to learned about this even only those basics just in case things happened, we should secure our
family's future especially if we are really dealing with this industry in a full time manner, those who will going to be left after we leave
this world should also be aware with our crypto assets.

I agree with you and will try to do it.
She is still very skeptic about Bitcoin but I will try to convince her that bitcoin is great thing.

Definitely you will say this type of thing will happen in your life to someone who will be trusted so if you are die suddenly then the trusted person of your life will definitely take care of this type of handling the accounts and wallets.

if I don't say about the Bitcoin to any other person it will be locked in a same place after my death because it is that true also when we don't discuss the process about cryptocurrency to some other person then loan will access your account so it remain the same for a long period of time.

I have all my accounts wrote down in a small notebook. I hope someone of my families finds it :)

It seems to me that this is the least thing to worry about in such a situation

If I die for sure my account is also die, specially if there's nothing intereted to my family and relatives to understand and adopt virtual digital currency. Hard to convince person to understand all about if didn't interested.

First if you died already how can you plan anymore?  May be if you ask if you going to die not if you died.because if you died already you can not plan anymore.well you asking if Im gonna die and no one know of my account here and dont have family my plan before I die I will put in one note and there will be a message about my account here and teach have a guide on how to open it so that who ever get my note will benefit of my account.if doesnt anyone see this then no one will benefit of my account here.

The likelihood that something will happen in the first place with your account, even before you die, is more likely.  Although anything happens in life and everything related to cryptocurrency in most cases goes into oblivion after the death of the owner.

An important fact to be discussed on a platform like this..
This is indeed something interesting to think about, even i had thought about this in the past.. and took some precautions as well, which you can find below when you read it in full;

For instance, consider a scenario where you are selling something online (i.e. Digital Goods like me) and the other day you die due to an accident or any kind of sudden death and you never told about your online selling activities/stuff to anyone close to you (not your family or close friend or so), now the online people (i.e. Buyers) around may get pissed off looking at the way you don't respond to their messages or so.. There might be also regular buyers who are dependent on you and counting on you every month for their monthly needs.. this would be frustrating..

Let's say, you might have an online Auto-buy Link/Shop (like Selly or so) where you deliver some digital goods (this could be an automated process or might be delivered to them manually) and some buyers would continue to keep buying Digital Goods (Codes, Accounts, Keys etc.) from your Auto-buy Shop by making the payment using their BTC Wallet and they never get anything in return for what they paid, as the person who should deliver these goods doesn't exist on this planet anymore..

So in the above case, your online auto-buy shop is left open and people still keep paying the money to your bitcoin wallet whereas you don't even exist anymore to do something about this, thus these bitcoins are totally wasted as it's released from the Senders BTC Wallet and it's stays on the Receivers BTC Wallet (who is already dead)
So i feel this is the worst case scenario, until people start to realise the truth.. which may or may-not ever happen..

Now that i have explained the above scenario, i hereby include my plan as below:
For this, a better pre-planning should be applied here.. trust someone and teach them at-least a basic part of these online stuff so that although they may not need to continue to provide these online services on the long journey, at-least they can shutdown all the active online business started by me (considering i'm the one who is dead) in-case i don't exist anymore, to avoid any further sales to happen..

Also, before closing the online services, this trusted person need to check if there are any pending orders that needs to be settled out, such that either the Digital Goods is delivered or the refund for the same can be processed..

Furthermore, the bitcoin wallet balance (if any) can be cash-out from the exchange.. the process for the same should be explained to this trusted person in advance..

This is the exact thing that i have already trained to one of my trusted person..

So, i have covered myself with the Insurance, did you guys do it?
If not, then plan it now before it's too late, as you may never know, what's waiting for you at the very next moment until your heart stops to beat..

Thank you everyone for reading this and have a great time on this wonderful forum..  :)

It will die with me.

I have a fiancee and we are getting married very soon,very trusted partner so i teach her everything she needs to know about crypto and she knows how to get my private keys,don't blame me we've been together for 6 years,i don't trust easily but she is just so different
