If I die can someone achieve my btc.

[TribalBob]

sometimes preparation is necessary, I've personally thought about the future if I die, where will my bitcoin and other crypto assets continue
I save data on falshdisk making a message to my child how to use it and seek help if they don't understand how it works
For the future, I will use the hard wallet to make it easier for my family to use it

While bitmover has explained how to transfer the BTC wealth to the next of kin, that question sounded so dark; after shopping, go home, gets asked "Will I get your BTC if you die?".

Actually i felt serious in that one also , Because why talking about death just hours after She saw you used that BTC transaction ? haven't OP told His Wife about BTC ever since or they did not tackled how this works?

I find it offending if i were in His place to be asked like this in not so formal manner after seeing the function.


But regarding the question ? since you looks like wanted to share it with her, Then why not give her the Private key also ? since that is your conjugal wealth being married couple.

I felt like damn,this guy married a devious gold digger(or probably a "black widow").
If a woman asks me that question,I would be like "Stay away from my Bitcoins you b*tch,you won't get anything,my kids will inherit my BTC,not you!" I would then probably get a divorce after that.
Such question is really offending.As if that woman is planning to kill the guy and get all his money/assets.

  All that just made my morning. Yeah you are right, I think it is the manner and time she asked the question even if it was a valid question because like I said before, we wouldn't want our Bitcoin or any other asset to be lost without proper direction as to their accessibility when we are gone but she voiced it the wrong place and time.

stupid question from a wife I have never heard of anything like this I am very offended as a man, it is inappropriate for a wife to ask such questions as if there is a plan to kill her husband. I wouldn't be straightforward with a wife like that. A child asking someone who knows about property offends his parents especially a wife who asks how to get an inheritance when we are alive and well, this is really crazy.

It's weird when your wife asks the question. If you die?. But if you want someone to know the Bitcoin number you are holding, use your Bitcoin number. This is very simple. Provide your wallet key (private key) for her or someone you trust. They can use your Bitcoin number as yourself.

I went to market with my wife to buy things for our new born baby, after my wife selected baby things that Worth thousands and I paid with my btc,the transaction was very easy and faster. When  we returned home ,she asked if you die can I achieved your btc or continued with your account? Because it's very easy and faster in trading and transaction.

Of course if you die your wife can receive the Bitcoin you have, therefore from now on, save the Bitcoin that you have in a hardware wallet
which is the safest storage place. You can tell your wife the private keys of your hardware wallet, after that teach slowly about the world of
crypto and how to access your hardware wallet. Bitcoin can indeed be inherited, therefore it is very important when we are alive to tell our
partners or our families about cryptocurrency. So if we die the Bitcoin we have can be inherited.

Sure she can use your account once you die or even when you are alive, if you share your private key with her. Anyone who has the private key can spend withdraw funds from your wallet. I think you should write your private key on some paper and keep it save in some documents. Also tell her that if you die, she can use this private key to access these funds.

For my part, I haven't shared the private keys or backup of my wallets to anyone. It is not due to the fact that I don't trust my wife or other relatives. But the real reason is that they don't have enough technological expertise to understand the concept of Bitcoin. There are a few distant relatives who have sufficient knowledge about cryptocurrency, but I don't trust them. So for now, I am stuck in dilemma on how to deal with this issue.

[androyster]

LOL, Bitcoin doesn't care who you are or when you die.  Anyone who has the keys to your account owns it.

You could share the private key of your address with your wife and both of you could have the same address on different wallets. Or if you have an app or online wallet you could give her access to it.

The problem is the security, if both of you have the private keys and the wallet gets hacked, will be hard to know who was the target.

if you trust yourself enough, it is easy to say that the wife is the one being targeted. In order to be safe, you can use hardware wallet giving us fulll control with high level of security

Giving private key is enough but I will only do it in my testament

Of course yes she can acquire your bitcoin especially your assets as long as she knows the seed phrases or the private keys of your wallets so that when you die she can easily access the wallet that you are using. Another thing is that when you buy a ledger and share with your husband then probably you will be able to have access also on his wallet. This is a good thing to do when you have a family because whenever you died there is always a person who will be able to acquire the assets that you've left.

[Cling18]

This is really suspicious, how come your wife asking that thing on you, If you die can I achieved your BTC? like seriously? Why did she ask you that question? It is something offensive for you or maybe you already have sick which may cause death or your doctor has already limit your life, but if there is no between the two then it is really suspicious for a wife to ask that question, I am just curious on the reaction of yours after she asked you about it.

That's actually normal for every wife to think of the possible things that could happen to their husband's savings and investments especially if they have kids. As for me, it's important to share your Bitcoin access to your most trusted person and that could be your wife or partner in life. There are cases where a deceased Bitcoiner's family members couldn't access his accounts and that person's funds went to nothing. We don't know what could possibly happen in the future so we should be wise.

Valid question asked in the wrong way. To me, if my wife asked me some certain question I might not be angry at it because we know each other and I will definitely understand why she is asking the question even if it might seems to have come out wrongly so I might not take offense to it besides, I truly will want my wife to have access to my Bitcoin for my children when death actually happens because it will even though we don't like to talk about death much.
So even if I might not give her the passwords or info to my cryptocurrencies immediately, I would definitely want to have them in a place they can access with info on how to go about it cos I wouldn't want my cryptocurrencies to be lost when I am gone.

[Yatsan]

This is really an interesting question that I have been also asking in myself once and a while that if I die, to whom will I let my Bitcoin reside because life is really short and we certainly don't know when we are going to die so we better must get ready for any chances that our treasury will be accessed by those we trust the most since they will be the ones to benefit on the things I will left behind once I am gone. I think it will be really essential to teach the one who you trust the most regarding such matter so that whatever happens, he/she will gain access into your account and can make it up using your remains whether it is Bitcoin or other sorts of crypto out there. I have really come to think of it that I might be needing to settle things while it is early rather than late.

It's easy, from now on you can give any information to access your wallet account to your wife. You don't need to feel suspicious or anything to your own wife regarding the bitcoin balance you have, because only by giving you all the access you want, then if you die first your wife can continue. This case will be different if you have to share it with your child or siblings, but if it is your wife then there is nothing to worry about.

Your wife should be your partner in anything you do, unless you have trust issue with your wife that's the problem where you need to find someone who you really trust.

Simply give them all the instrustions about your assets, from your wallet and to how to access everything. In case you died unexpectedly your bitcoin asset are safe.

They can achieve and claimed  all those money that you are keeping inside your crypto invesment.

Hello everybody. The most important thing here is that Bitcoin is just a number, it doesn't care if you are alive or dead. Whoever owns the keys owns the bitcoins. Accordingly, if you give the keys to your bitcoins to your wife or someone, everyone who has these keys will own your bitcoins. There is no other way.

Everything boils down to one single feeling, TRUST. It's really hard for bachelors and if someone knows about your wealth then they can play games to get near you or marry you and then betray you with your hard-earned money. People who have a wife or have a long-term relationship can trust their partner to share this vital information. I would say having trust is the only thing in between losing your crypto when you die or passing it to your dependents.

Everyone can access your Bitcoin for those who have access to your wallet. If you choose to store your Bitcoin in a custodial wallet, then you must keep your username, password and other verification methods away from everyone except your wife, and make it an inheritance to your wife or family member you trust. Although saving in a wallet exchanger is not recommended, everyone has their own style of treating their cryptocurrency, including the style of storing their BTC assets .

If you store it in a non-custodial wallet, the explanation from bitmover is pretty straightforward for that

For desktop wallets I would suggest Electrum, and for Hardware wallets you can safely buy Ledger Nano S or Trezor One, which are the cheapest models.

Once you have setup your wallet you will receive a 24 word list called Seed.

The seed is everything you need to recover your funds in case you lose access to your wallet (desktop or hardware).

So the seed is the only thing you should worry about.  You can share it with your wife, and she will be able to recover your bitcoins if you die... Be careful because anyone can recover your funds using your seed

I agree with you a 100% right there. Your wife should be your PARTNER, so I dont understand why the fuss or even though I do understand how some wife's can be something else  Anyways, I believe it depends on how you have been living with your wife or the kind of relationship y'all have so when she ask you that kind of question, that will determine what her intention is and might offend you or not, But again, I still believe it is a valid question that needs to be treated so that your family do not miss out on what you have worked hard to keep.

This is also what came first to my mind when I read the thread, it's like she only treats his husband as an old retired rich man and wishes him to die soon. If I have a large amount of bitcoin I would definitely make sure that someone would inherit it incase something bad will happen to me, there are many ways to do it now with our current technology. No one should tell it to me directly and if they can I would really be offended by that. If I am in the place of OP, I would hesitate to give all of it to her. I would find someone that I can really trust and give the half to him and when the time comes he would give it to my child.
