Had a friend in his 30s pass away, now his Bitcoin is gone forever...

I've definitely given this food for thought before, but now I feel like I need to get a little more serious with it...

How do you plan to pass your Bitcoin onto your heirs?? I had read before about someone having a will/trust/whatever that listed half of the key, and then another document that would point to a safety deposit box that had the other half of the key. Otherwise, how else can you pass it on??? Nobody's gonna know your passwords, keys, etc.

This guy told me he had a lot of BTC that he could retire off of. Poof. Gone forever. I know haters gonna hate, but I feel like this is one area that paper wallets really are the best. Just my opinion, at least...

I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...
