Do you plan to make them their own cold storage wallets and start depositing coins onto this instead of say finding a college savings account etc? Or have a diverse mix in many of these baskets?
I keep thinking about setting them up for success but I am much too early right now my kids are very young and they wouldn’t begin to even understand Bitcoin for quite a while.
But I am curious because I know I should be doing so much more to prepare them for what is to come, hopefully a very well positioned future and inheritance that I can give them.
Sometimes I feel that I am doing them a disservice by contributing to a 529 savings plan as opposed to their own Bitcoin storage accounts.
Perhaps I should open their own Roth IRA accounts and just contribute to that account and direct the funding to a Bitcoin ETF so I can ensure that they will have had early exposure to Bitcoin and ensure that they all have their own accounts. Sure it’s not the same as pure Bitcoin it’s paper Bitcoin but at least the exposure is there.
I still think that passing down the wealth for your heirs with crypto will prove to be very problematic. It’s surely something that could be unevenly distributed & deviated from the wishes of the will since there are no real safeguards in place to ensure each child / beneficiary gets what has been set aside for them, right? I think this will be more of a long term solution that will come down the line, the real issue here is that having such safeguards in place could very well compromise the intent of Bitcoin in the first place. These answers I believe would be achieved through custodial methods, or how else could one achieve this goal??
I think what I will introduce to them primarily is the concept of saving money, as well as making your money work for you through investments and other real great options that they can explore.saving money so they can have wuick cash to grab as well as contingencies in situations where they would need a lump sum of cash to work with, and investments to provide them with a reliable and consistent income stream.
Again, wouldn’t have to be crypto or bitcoin for that matter. Just the basic concept of investing as a whole.
