What next if you aren't here tomorrow?

​I was thinking about the "generational wealth" narrative we all love to talk about, and it made me realize something pretty uncomfortable. Most of us spend a huge amount of time securing our stacks with hardware wallets, multisig, and seed phrases, but we rarely talk about the "recovery" side for our families.

​If something happened to you tonight, would your partner or your kids actually know how to access your Bitcoin? Or have we made our security so "unbreakable" that we’ve effectively locked our own families out of the wealth we’ve been building for them?

​It’s a hard decide. We pride ourselves on having no single point of failure, but for a lot of us, we are the single point of failure. If the only person who knows how to navigate the setup is gone, the coins are essentially gone too.

​I’m curious how you guys are handling this. Have you actually walked your family through the technical steps, or are you just leaving a "break glass in case of emergency" letter somewhere and hoping they can figure it out?

I’d love to hear how you balance keeping your stash secure while making sure it's also accessible to those you love in the case you won't be around.
