So let's say you put your bitcoins in a brain wallet.

In your next life you could visit a psychic and get in touch with your past life to remember your phrase and recover your funds.

Or maybe it's hard to remember words from a past life, so better you write them somewhere long term, like a stone wall. Then you just have to conjure up the location from your past life.

The only way to take your savings with you when you die?

No one today is likely old enough but maybe in ten years we'll hear stories of someone having a seance and discovering the phrase that unlocked their riches.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

good idea, but still only as secure as the physical location where you hide the passphrase.  you'll need to hide it somewhere that won't be found in at least 18 years, assuming it will take that time at best to unlock the information in your brain and have the freedom to travel independently. 

i think i'd rather just give my money to someone else when i die

That explains why someone would bother to build the stonehenge, gotta be some great wallets from atlantiscoin there, too bad they seem to have suffered the 51% attack Wink

No seriously, give them to your children, if you don't have any, some of your family tree does. What kind of world do you wanna wake up in, if you share they'll likely remember you for generations to come (the same applies if you don't) Smiley

Gobekli Tepe fits more with the atlantiscoin idea.  It was buried so that upon reincarnation  12k years later all the engravings and statuary would trigger ancient memories of brainwallet keys.

Quote
Göbekli Tepe Turkish: [ɡøbe̞kli te̞pɛ][2] ("Potbelly Hill"[3]) is a Neolithic hilltop sanctuary erected at the top of a mountain ridge in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, some 15 kilometers (9 mi) northeast of the town of Şanlıurfa (formerly Urfa / Edessa). It is the oldest known human-made religious structure.[1][4] The site was most likely erected by hunter-gatherers in the 10th millennium BCE...

The advent of agriculture and animal husbandry brought new realities to human life in the area, and the "stone-age zoo" (as Schmidt calls it) depicted on the pillars apparently lost whatever significance it had had for the region's older, foraging, communities. But the complex was not simply abandoned and forgotten to be gradually destroyed by the elements. Instead, each enclosure was deliberately buried under as much as 300 to 500 cubic meters (390 to 650 cu yd) of debris consisting mainly of small limestone fragments, stone vessels, and stone tools; many animal, even human, bones are also found in the burial refuse.[26] Why the enclosures were backfilled is unknown, but it preserved them for posterity.

On a more serious note, brain wallets enable a scammer to create a financial crime and plausibly deny still having the stolen bitcoins.  Even if they are sent to jail for 10 years, they just have to remember the brain wallet to come out a millionaire.  As an added bonus, the coins probably appreciated in value over the time span.

I could see brain wallets enabling victims too.  Say you are in a concentration camp but you remember your brain wallet.  You could buy your escape by paying off a guard, who could let you slip by.

Life is shit that is the reason why it is made single-use only. Unless You

1) blow up and end in paradise with 72 virgins. This is actually trap. They are virgins, but nobody told they are female.
2) remain atheist and there is no afterlife
3) or reincarnate into slug that is unable to remember both passphrase for brain wallet or how to use Bitcoin-Qt

This seems quite plausible as the information on how to reconstruct the brain wallet will still be contained within the imprint of your current life.
The video below somewhat explains the mechanism of how it works from minute 25:00 through 30:00.

I'd recommend to watch the whole thing to get into the context of what is being discussed though.

PS:
It might be easier to pass the information to your children or other relatives as the reincarnation naturally occurs within the same bloodline.

Love it!

For those that believe in it though, it's said to be very difficult to bring things across. First, you have to make whatever it is a very strong memory. Ego is said to be the thing that make death painful. Advice is to let things go. As for trying to remember it... it's said to be similar to trying to remember a dream. Let's say as a kid you start writing numbers on a wall... parents are just going to think you're crazy !
