I strongly believe on human brain (that it forgets too often). Especially when it comes to memorizing something related with financial credentials, I would never take such risk even if my IQ level would be as equal as Einstein. I like to memorize but not on the cost of huge risk associated with it. Those who can remember I appreciate them but that doesn't mean I should follow them.

wtf? lol why would you want to do that when you can easily write it down to a piece of paper? you know you shouldn't use your brain for Such activities but you can count cards without anyone noticing and gamble to win big

Why are you interfering in other's way? If they have their own view about memorizing then so be it.
Me too, I don't want to memorize it since I can listed it in multiple safe notes of mine.
Am I stupid then because I don't want to memorize it?
Don't say stupid to other people. That's their own view and you are out of it.
Right. Lets respect for others view in memorizing their private key. It can help them when it needed. But for me, I never memorize it. I'm poor in memorization, I hate it even in school. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) There are people who are gifted that can memorize long string of words. Theres have technique using mnemonics.Others through singing ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I didn't say they are stupid because they don't want to memorize it - I am saying they are stupid for saying the wrong things they said in the quotes. You on the other hand are stupid for so many reasons I can't count that high. Especially stupid for thinking of that bullshit reason and suggesting that is why I said they are stupid. You take the stupid cake for sure.

a bitcoin private key is a combination of random letters and numbers and worst of all is that they are case sensitive which means the lower case and upper case actually matters so it is impossible for normal human beings to memorize that. unless you have a photographic memory (or whatever it is called in english, like that beautiful mind movie)
normal human beings can train to memorize a combination of random symbols, there are many effective techniques to do that task. there are bunches of Guiness about memory. countless number of people have tried and success in memorizing Pi number 3.14... you don't need to be a genius with IQ above 150 to do it. don't underestimate human.

Read most of the posts on this forum. It would be very hard to 'underestimate human'.

What would be the point? You only use it once when you swipe it to a useable address and most of us memorize things with repetition or repeated use. At my age, you start to forget more and more and this would not be a very good idea. I too experimented with some brain games and strategies to improve the memory, but I got lazy over time. These days, I just write down the important things and store them in a safe place. {Safety deposit box} ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

obviously it is people who can remember their private keys, many can more decimals of Pi.

Well, if you have a photographic memory and you are well trained to recover even the most minute details - then it would make sense - otherwise forget about it.

Lol, forget about it, I see what you did there. Anyway, if the OP is just doing this with a small amount of bitcoin, there's also the possibility to use a relatively easy to remember private key. Remember that at the end of the day, a private key is just a large number and there are many ways to write down a number (binary, decimal, hex, ascii, base64, etc). For example, say you used base64 and the private key was actually a phrase which was relatively easy to remember. Then, to use the key, the OP would have to convert it into hex or WIF or whatever format his wallet software uses and generate the two addresses associated with it. As I said, if there's only a small amount of bitcoin there, it would be interesting to see if anyone takes it or if it sits there safely.

Have u ever attempted to memorize one of ur Bitcoin private keys?
Do u think anyone has ever done this?
Just remembering one's own key to valuable funds.
With Brainwallet seeds I'm sure people have done this.
I love to memorize.
I'm capable of memorizing up to 32 digits by visualization.
~CfA~
Well if you take some NZT its easy !! ^^ i think its freaking hard to memorize all this thing ! it is huge and it doesnt make any sense to keep it in order in your mind iv managed to memorize just some random passwords with capital & numbers symbols but i learn them over time by typing them every day and it been near 10 years and still remember them ! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) i brainwashed my self eventually!

I tried it once but couldn't do it after 10 characters ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) However, I have memorized a password 30 characters long and it's still fresh in my memory ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Because Private keys are pure random while we create our passwords with something familiar to our self, I can create 50 character password long with my favorite music and I can remember that 50 character easily while the others might have a hard time figuring it out ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I believe some people had ever do that, but I myself even want to try doing that. It would be pretty hard for me to do it tho, but I think I can do that with a lot of practice.
I don't think someone manage to remember his own private keys, But I do believe if someone says that he managed to remember his seed code for the wallet, that seed is much more easier to remember compared to private keys ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

This question is not about whether you can do it - because I've seen people memorizing even longer and more complicated numeric strings. With mnemonic techniques of all sort it is quite easy if you put some effort into it.
But you don't have to do this (or you can only for sport). With Deterministic Wallets it is not needed to remember your private keys anymore. Or you can simply write it down...

haha nice dude, unfortunately I can not memorize up to 32 digits. So I have never had to try to remember bitcoin private key, I prefer to write in a notebook: D

Satoshie could have made us all memorize private keys if he would made bitcoin in such a way that you would need to enter(type, not copy and paste) your private key every time you want to spend BTC. Belive me after 300 bets you will know your private key ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I've never thought about it, but it sure is interesting. I'm not good at memorizing that many characters so I will not ever do that. Also, I would still write it down in case I forgot.
