I want to ask all of you, do you share or give very private things (private key, passphrase, password and else) of Bitcoin to your family? I ask like this because I think if something bad happens to us (I personally hope it doesn't happen), it would be better if we pass down all the things from bitcoin that we have to our families. For example, when we have an accident that makes us comatose state (I hope it won't happen) at the hospital and we need medical expenses, it would be better if our wife or children can take money from the bitcoin that we have to use as our medical expenses.

I personally bequeath all my bitcoin knowledge to my family. I told them my bitcoin assets, how I made money from bitcoin, and also told them how to access them. All of this I did so that all of my bitcoin assets could be useful for my family. What about you guys, do you guys do the same with me?

I never saw this as a problem. After all, if you trust your family with your fiat money, why is it so difficult to do the same with crypto? It is just a currency, not a state secret. So yeah, I believe in sharing. Better than for something to happen and that money ends up locked up forever, useless to everyone.

I would share my private things like private key to my parents. Eventhough they didn't know how to use it and how it works. I'm sure they will find a way to use it. So no matter what will happen to me. My family will benefit from my cryptocurrency asset.

No, i never shared that kind of information to my family but i have a file in my flashdisk and there are so many information about private key, passphrase, password and else inside. I don't share it to my family because most of my family don't know what is crypto and how it works, but i told my family if something bad happens, go look into my flashdisk.

We're almost the same but I shared only in my wife, she knows everything I have and I don't have a plan to keep any secret to her. I saved all my assets details of a flash drive and I put also a password on it. My wife knows where I kept and she knows also how valuable that thing. I do that because we never know in the futures happen, there's possible that we can't avoid and that is sudden death. All your crypto asset will be lost if you did not tell anyone that close to you.

To be honest, I didn't share my private things with my family. Fact isn't about trust, fact is I don't have enough time to explain and train whole bitcoin system since I am working on abroad. But I have a notebook and I have noted all personal details with websites. All password, private keys and phrases write down there. So if in case happen any accident all funds would be recover easily. And yes, I have write a name where should be send my notebook if happen anything. I trust a guy who is familiar with all things. Hope very soon I will able to explain my family as well so they could recover themselves. But sure, I will not share personal thing and it will remain on notebook.

I don't share everything about bitcoin or cryptocurrency directly, but I already prepare one box that I will give to them before I died. That box contains everything I know about cryptocurrency with a ledger inside that box. I left a letter to them just in case if they want to know how to use that thing inside the box. But I always tell them about cryptocurrency, and I want them to try by themselves, and someday if I almost died, I will tell the details to them. I hope that they can use what I have for their life so they can make a better life than what I got now.

It good to share some secret with one's family but I don't share my private keys, passphrase, password etc with my wife because of the vulnerability which may involve. However, she understands that I have my private information stored in a secure flash which I believe she can figure to be in case something happens.

I do the same thing, I produce a printout of my private keys and keep it together with my important documents. I also have a back up of those keys on a USB disk. I trust my parents and of course they are old enough to keep confidential matters so I told them how important those stuff and how it holds my important cryptocurrency holdings.

it is called "private" key for a reason, it should remain private. if you share it with others then it is no longer secure, not because they may access the funds but because they may leak it if they are not careful. i personally prefer hard copies on a piece of paper, that way you can only physically access them and you will remain in possession. then if something happened to you, your next of kin can go through your belongings and find it. you could also add instructions to what bitcoin is and how they could access the funds.

I put my private key in the safest place of my computer

FYI if this computer is ever connected to the Internet, your private key isn't safe, and you're risking that someone may one day spend your bitcoins.

I put my private key in the safest place of my computer, sometimes I write it in my book and I keep it safe, no one can know what I write in it. As for relatives, I do not share, I trust them but I am afraid that they will accidentally reveal my information.

Me personally, I don't really see cryptocurency or Bitcoin as an asset but as digital cash for making business transactions online. In as much that I don't see it as an asset, I have saved the necessary information regarding my private keys and passwords on a flash drive and written them down in my small notepad which will make it easier for my family to have access to all my crypto wallet. I did this just in case something happens to me, my family can easily have access to all my crypto coins and will be able to cash them out.

Right now, I'm the only one who knows and keep the private key, password, and phrase word were all of it was stored at my USB.
But I am planning to share and tell it to my fiancee, because if I am going to tell it my own relatives they won't get any interest to know it.
So far, I am teaching my girlfriend little by little about what I'm doing here in crypto, from converting my altcoins to fiat, and keeping it where
it stored, so that whatever happen to me all of my assets in crypto will be useful at least.

I am not giving any of these private information to anyone, not even to any of my family members. I guess you are right though that we have to be somehow prepared for the unknown but I don't personally think about it that much. If something bad happens to me, God forbid, then perhaps they will have to find ways to get access to my laptop and phones which are complete with security features. They know that I am into crypto and some little treasure is right inside these gadgets of mine.

My wife is my best friend and my most trusted ally. So she knows everything about my investment and I intend to teach her about building upon bitcoin investment and how it all works, this I will do when her phone is replaced. Only the meticulous family member should be made known our private keys and password.

I did that. And everyone certainly should, because we need to think about our kids in the future. And in 10-20years our 0.0001 btc could be worth a lot of money.

The thing is, if you don't 100% trust someone, or if you would like to be more protect from a possible thief that could rob your house, you could split your keys.

For example, give your Seed to a relative and the passphrase to another.
Or if you wish you can give 12 word to one person and the other 12 to another.

There are many ways to do it, but you certainly should.

I have the same thoughts as you
the plan is that I will write all my email / username / password on a piece of paper and store it in a safe place, and tell my family how to access it ... And also makes paper wallet and keeping it in a safe place

My family know where I put my password and passphrase but they do not open it. I also teach my sister how it works so they can also earn bitcoin and other crypto. They didnt try to open it because they know I will get angry with them. But, I always tell to them that if you want to open just ask me because I will give my permission to open it.

If you're doxxable, I'd keep mum about any of such arrangements you may have with your family, otherwise you're painting a target on their backs (that goes for all topics asking users to divulge unnecessary information about themselves). Also, can you trust your family members to follow long, even if explicit instructions to manage/sell their newly acquired inheritance?

I would love to share my Bitcoin and Ethereum private keys with my family, but in my country ban Cryptocurrency, so my family disagrees with this. They advised me to give it up many times in the past, and I agreed with my family, but I continued. I think that in the future if Crypto accept in my country, I will share it all with my family.

Very pity on your situation. It is always a good choice to share these with family. I have made a separate file for this, further I need to add the step by step procedure to access the wallet. This will make it an easy to use, and I never inform them. Let them find it if something happens with the uncertain life.
