Trust: who can be trusted to keep your seeds?

[puloweh555]

The problem of seeds is obviously crucial. Can we imagine being the one and only person who knows what to do with these 12/24 words? How to keep them safe, but also how to pass them on to heirs or friends (so that they know what to do with them?). Informing others while preserving your own security can be a real challenge in some countries.
And then there's betrayal, divorce etc...

What are the solutions?

NOBODY!

Even im a married person on which i cant really still that trust up my seed phrase into my wife. Yes, i dont have any plans on having divorce or trying to solo these money on which everything is really that being done for the sake of family and giving them a good life. I cant really just that make myself that trusting up that much on which it comes into a point that i would really be that trusting up my seed on which we do know that temptations is really that could happen specially if the amount will really be that significant. I do trust up my wife but there are really things on which are meant to be hidden or shouldnt really be that told. So far i dont have any problems on keeping away my seed as long it is really that out from other peoples awareness then it should really be just that fine. We do know that how important these seed phrase would be and its always been best that you should really be that wary and giving out that outmost security because once it will really be that someones awareness then there's always that tendency that you would be having that risks on losing those precious coins of yours that you've been holding for so long.

I understand what you are saying, there are some things that do not need to be told to your partner in this case is the phrase seed wallet especially in a marriage that has not been long. Because husband and wife can divorce, but if you have children, it is better for you to trust your children more for the future. At least if at this time you cannot be trusted, then you have to give them time so that they can be trusted because someone in this life, there must be someone who can be trusted especially in our family.

Because if something unwanted happens, for example death. The wealth that we have is not in vain but has benefits for the family, because we cannot predict when we will die, living people will definitely die. Maybe I also predict that many people out there have principles like you, and I am also sure that there are some people who have died but their wealth cannot be accessed. So we really have to have one person who can be trusted especially children.

Indeed, never give the seed wallet phrase to anyone, because one day it could backfire on us. But rather than not trusting anyone, why don't we try to educate our wives or children so that they can be trusted or become people who can be trusted when we give them the wallet seed phrase.

This is your money and you can chose how you want to go about it. Deciding whether to let any one close to you or any member of your family to know about your seed phrases is up to you. If you trust them so much, you can reveal it to them but you should be ready to bear the consequences if things goes against you or if a betrayal happens in the end. I wouldn't want to say that one should die with the information to their assets instead of passing the security information to another but you should apply wisdom and if possible make sure you have two wallets, reveal the seed phrases of one of them and keep the other to yourself as an alternative plan in case you face any betrayal from the one you revealed.

Honestly, I am really confused and surprised that there are many people who claim that they cannot trust their wives when she is the one they love and choose to be their wives. If that girl is not trustworthy, why marry them and accept to live together, even have children with them?

Being a wife and mother of your children do not mean you can't face betrayal from her, in my country i have heard of so many cases where wives betrayed their husbands. We have to understand that some women are manipulative in nature especially those ones that are married when the man is already wealthy, most of them come because of the wealth and not really because of love and they pretend as though they love the man so much but just in pretense to for them to earn trust from the man but later these women execute their evil plans and either run away or even fight for a divorce. No body should be trusted be it your own mother, father, children, wife and a friend. Any body can still stab you at your back regardless of how important you mean to them.

I said it because it's an option if you can't think of a solution. If you can't trust ppl to keep your seeds safe after you're dead you'll have to tell ppl when you're alive & hope they won't cheat you or else how can they enjoy the crypto you're giving them when you die?

You said don't trust anyone but you also said to tell your family the password or seed while you are still alive. And if you are still alive why should you involve or trust a bank or lawyer because as long as you are still alive everything is still under your control including your family.

When it comes to who you can trust with you seed phrase its a big question and you can not really be able to trust everyone because its one of the most important phrase that keeps your seed phrase safe the moment the phrase is liked then you don't longer have access to that asset again and if you look at it i don't blame you for not trusting your wife because there stories that peoples wife have made away with there husbands funds and the world have changed and women most women don't really care bout what there man thinks they can do everything possible. because it is not even about money again because women can cheat without you for no reason.

And seed phrase are very important because it like what gives entry and if anyone should know the amount you hold then from that moment you are in trouble because you will be a target and that is why you don't have to disclose any form of information to anyone about the founds that are in your possession, been security conscious is very important especially in speech when you mind what you give out then you are safe.

To address the seed phrase issue, consider using multi-signature wallets, secure backups, or encrypted inheritance services. For example, you can store instructions with trusted individuals or use specialized legal tools. For more detailed solutions, check this image: Short Guide.

when I see people speak of distrust I wonder how you all choose your partners or spouse if you will keep having doubts that they will steal from you.

Well it's very difficult to choose who to entrust with a good number of your networth but perhaps the very importance is to make at least a very background opening to some that you have sometimes of such nature (bitcoin) or better educate your children about bitcoin and how to handle seed phrases yet keep some informations to yourself.

They trust them too. They just can't trust the people around them who has ill will to take advantage of them when the husband isn't around. This is why most husband I think will be interested to teach their techie sons or daughters to keep the 12/24 seed phrase in case something happen to the father.

Some how there are people who can't trust their wives. Not because she is untrustworthy but because she is careless and or most probably not aware that losing the seed means losing the coins.

[Mindyspace]

I only trust one person in this world. I will always be wary of the rest of the people I know, and sometimes even both. I don't like to say how much I have, especially sharing something so valuable, let's put it that way. I like secrets, especially when it's something so important to me.

The phrase of not giving your private keys or seed phrase to any person you trust is to maximize security of your assets but at some points in life, we all don't own the life we have, there is going to come a time when you will not be alive anymore so it's important you share it with someone very close to you incase you are no more. I know that trusting people with money is very hard but I will gladly share my seed phrase with my wife, it's safer in hands if I'm no more.

If I die, she no where and how to have access to it and at some point, I can trust her with all my things. I think as old person that has been with their wife for years like 40 years of marriage, such people should knows better if they can trust their wife or if they have another person they can trust. Some people can entrust such in the hand of their kids than even the mother, if that's what works for you, it's better they do it than let the Bitcoin never get any access while your family suffer later.

[Dailyscript]

I've just voted in the poll with trusting nobody. This shows ppl aren't going to trust others to keep our money or property safe by giving them to others to protect to give on to our families after our death. Don't trust anybody. Don't trust banks & lawyers to keep your seeds. We should tell our families about passwords & seeds while we're still alive.

Even if I have a trusted family member who can provide me with the wallet password/Phases words, if something untoward happens to me personally and if my family members do not deliver my Bitcoin to my wife and children after my death, then there is definitely nothing I can do. However, to ensure that the Bitcoin is not lost forever after my death, I will have to trust someone in the family to provide security for the wallet.

Instead of trusting someone outside your family that is your first family before your extended family. It can be your wife your grown up kids. Now, these are the kind of situations why it is good to get married to someone who is morally sound to take security and ownership of all your belongings. If your partner  dont understand what value means then forget there is nothing you will tell them when handling the keys to them they wont destroy what you worked for all through your life.

If the reason is because she is careless, absent-minded or not good at keeping secrets, we have many other options because besides the wife, everyone has other close people like children or parents. But the problem here is that many men doubt and distrust their wives, they fear being betrayed and that is really ridiculous and confusing. How can they love and marry someone they don't trust?

I don't know if you are married. But if it were you, would you marry someone who you think will betray you one day, or would they marry you just for money?

I once thought about how I would pass on my seed phrase to my family if something undesirable happened to me, such as going into a coma or even dying. So I wrote down my seed phrase in a safe place and wrote some notes on the paper, namely by adding "For my family who find this paper, this is a seed phrase that has Bitcoin assets in it, please ask some of my friends......... to access it", and of course I mentioned some friends who understand Crypto, especially Bitcoin on the note. For me that was the best solution, and maybe there was a betrayal for that, but I can only hope that it was truly inherited fairly through the note. But I think it will be different when my age lasts a long time, and when my old age finally comes, maybe I will truly inherit it fairly for my family's inheritance.

Humble people are scarse nowadays.

But I am happy that you still have someone to entrust, even if that's only one person, that would be enough

Yes, it is true that all these 24/12 word Seedphases are mainly for friends and close blood relatives, so caution must be exercised when informing them. There may be many treacherous friends who, after learning all these secret words, will try to steal crypto assets themselves. Therefore, you should not teach someone who can steal it after learning it. Moreover, you should not trust your own wife because she can divorce you at any time and steal your crypto assets.

That's why you shouldn't talk with anybody about your fortune much, only with the close ones by your side.

And it's important to stay vigillant, especially if there is something to worry about (the funds in question being pretty big, etc.)

[Judith87403]

The truth is that nowadays is very hard to find someone who is trustworthy more especially when it has to do with something very profiting, even those that happens to be our relatives be it our brothers or sisters is not even trustworthy during this process. Because most of them after giving them the access to your seeds maybe they can decide to access your wallet just to see what you have in there, and sometimes after they most have confirmed this. if he's this greedy type he can start having bad intention towards you, just so that he can have those assets all by himself.

 Though everyone must not be the same in a family, surely there must be someone who can be trusted in the family. and that is the only person that I can decide to give access to my seeds.

It depends on each person and his surroundings.

Surely, I agree, that most out there wouldn't risk it and keep the seeds to themselves, but still, there are some cases where the trust between people is that big.

Also depends on how much funds we are talking about, some become too greedy due to that.

I don't know if you are married. But if it were you, would you marry someone who you think will betray you one day, or would they marry you just for money?

I'm not due for marriage and I also get irritated with people thinking otherwise of their partners so I wonder if they married out of force or partnership are imposed on them however unforeseen circumstances can even happen to the person you want to trust your stuffs with hence plan for anything to happen and hope nothing happens we don't know our next minute so it is with the people we care about too.

NOBODY!

Even im a married person on which i cant really still that trust up my seed phrase into my wife. Yes, i dont have any plans on having divorce or trying to solo these money on which everything is really that being done for the sake of family and giving them a good life. I cant really just that make myself that trusting up that much on which it comes into a point that i would really be that trusting up my seed on which we do know that temptations is really that could happen specially if the amount will really be that significant. I do trust up my wife but there are really things on which are meant to be hidden or shouldnt really be that told. So far i dont have any problems on keeping away my seed as long it is really that out from other peoples awareness then it should really be just that fine. We do know that how important these seed phrase would be and its always been best that you should really be that wary and giving out that outmost security because once it will really be that someones awareness then there's always that tendency that you would be having that risks on losing those precious coins of yours that you've been holding for so long.

For many, it is complex to distinguish the role of a mother and a wife, which are the most important people around us when it comes to entrusting funds especially as a family man. For me, it is easy because I have looked at all options and possibilities and come to the conclusion that in the event that I have one person to entrust my seed phrase to, it will undoubtedly be my mom. Again, my choice may not be the choice of others plus I'm not currently married so I am not sure of the character of the woman I will eventually get married to.

As of now, I will entrust my seed phrase to my mom, of course I'm not also going to say NOBODY, like mentioned above because I don't want to die leaving my wealth to myself. So, that's not even an option. I must have one person to entrust my seed phrase with, and that's my mom. I will equally seek my mom to immediately release the seed phrase to my wife once I'm no longer alive, so she can use it to take care of my family.

I don't even necessarily need to tell her the full information about the seed phrase but I will let her know it contains my financial records or resources and should be passed to my wife almost immediately after my demise. I will also let her know it is an asset for my family being entrusted to her. This will be a secret I will leave between me and her and not even my wife will be privy of that information, ab initio.

I do also agree into your sentiment that since you arent that still married which is also im not married then i wont really be that trying out to do all the things to be in secret because it will really be such a waste if those funds or money will really be that lost into the void forever once you die or pass away. If you are still single then your MOM will really be your best bet and if you are married then it will be that in torn between your WIFE or your MOM but i do really love the idea that you would be sticking into your MOM on which that even marriage doesnt really give out any assurance that you would really be ending up on having a happy marriage life. There's no such thing about guarantee on which divorce is possible and same goes on having that death on which you do need someone that will really be able to give out those assets or coins once you do pass away.

So here's the cons of this one, what you would do if your mom passed away on which you have entrusted her just in case you do pass away too? We do know that it will really be that too unlikely that someone will really be able to die ahead of her own mom on which most likely they are the ones who do go first before us. Life cant just be predicted and its better to be safe than sorry. I do agree into those words or having some valid points on what milewilda said above that there's should be no one will be get entrusted with those phrases or keys but since the risks of losing all of those coins and someone doesnt know on how to access it out then those would really be that included into those lost coins in the void forever. If you dont like on having that situation then its better to let someone do know about your phrase but on the manner or sense that it isnt that complete or there are some missing words or keys and the other part should be entrusted into other people you do know because one of the main hesitance for most people that of those misused of funds or getting stolen once there's someone who do have access into your phrases.

Instead of trusting someone outside your family that is your first family before your extended family. It can be your wife your grown up kids. Now, these are the kind of situations why it is good to get married to someone who is morally sound to take security and ownership of all your belongings. If your partner  dont understand what value means then forget there is nothing you will tell them when handling the keys to them they wont destroy what you worked for all through your life.

Either way there should be trust worthy person in your family but this is about how trustworthy a person can be because there are a lot of people that when it comes to money, they can even kill there brother for it, and they don't even know the value of how you worked hard just to actually have that in your possession.

I don't think I can trust my wife with my seed phrase because women change and with all this shit am reading online about there wifes cheating on them is just not something anyone will want to go through because you have to give value to your self and don't take any chances because if women can cheat on there husband's and even carry another man's child then it is actually a worrisome situation.  Your kids are even preferably entitled to what ever you own so it's not a bad idea, women don't fear anymore they will do what ever will benefit them and this why. You be very careful with how you make some decisions. We just have to keep learning everyday.
