How do you plan to introduce your children to Bitcoin? More importantly what is your long term plan for passing down the wealth to the next gen?
I've got some other assets that I can say will be good for the long term and as for inheriting my BTC and introducing it, just like you guys, my kid is still young. I'd wait for the right moment to introduce it but for now, this is a talk with my wife. So, whatever my plan will be when the time is right, it will easily be passed on and let alone my kid or my wife do the rest.

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'll mix it up, some cash, some BTC, and whatever I think is best will do. While we're all enthusiastic about Bitcoin, diversifying is still a good option.

Bitcoin = Financial freedom
Passing your knowledge about wealth and passing your wealth are different, now you are trying for them to inherit your bitcoin savings now the knowledge because they don't really need to know about bitcoin in detail to have it but if you want them to then you need to work on a method that suit for them to understand.

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.

Instead of Bitcoin ETF you can just give them the real bitcoins, by using locktime feature that locks your bitcoin on the desired destination for x number of blocks that you can design as long as you want then only the user can access the funds.

Bitcoin is now very popular and a strong asset for us and we can say btc if future money. so it is very important for next generation to know about bitcoin. that's why i will definitely introduce my Child with bitcoin. and it should be long planning.

Bitcoin is not our local Fiat money so servings for school/College is shouldn’t in btc. but btc can be save for future because you must hold your btc for long term to get potential profit from it. and will teach my child all step in very active process. then it will helpful for his life servings

I think the future generation would know Bitcoin as they know of money. There might not even be a need to teach them because they will learn it anyway. You cannot not learn it. Decades from now, Bitcoin is probably a very popular and widely accepted alternative currency.

Anyway, I guess it's enough for me to prepare a bright future for my children. Whether I'm preparing Bitcoin for them or real estate assets or a business or stocks doesn't matter much. What matters more than anything else is that I'm doing my part to the best of my abilities to make sure they have a good life.

I am not sure whether Bitcoin will become an alternative currency or will become an asset like gold in the future but I agree with you that bitcoin will become such an important part that everyone will have to know about it, even if we don't teach them about it. Furthermore, if bitcoin becomes a currency, I believe that using bitcoin will become much easier, not as complicated and anyone can use it like we use fiat today. 

Actually, inheritance for our children will depend on our circumstances, how can we prepare an inheritance for them when our current life is still unstable? I see many people make a lot of plans but I don't know if they can execute them or not. Once again I agree with you, we should try our best to ensure the best life for them instead of setting many plans for the future while we still have many difficulties at present.

i don't make a special plan to introduce bitcoin to my child, maybe what i will do later is introduce it in the usual way and if he is interested in it then he can learn it and inherit the knowledge and assets that i have. because i am not the type of parent who forces their will on their child that they must like/inherit what i have, if from the beginning i see that my child does not like it, then i will not force him to learn more about bitcoin. but if he likes it and wants to learn, then he is free to ask what he wants to know about bitcoin and he might inherit the assets that i have.

and also if i see that he only wastes money, and does not care about financial management, then maybe i will not let him inherit my bitcoin and maybe i will make someone else who understands it better to handle it, because my assets are too valuable if they fall into the hands of ungrateful people.

In today era it has become very important to build asset for your children future. Investing Bitcoin in asset is a good idea . This asset will increase in value over time and will benefit our children in future . And if we invest a little today , tomorrow this asset can make our children financially secure because the future of Bitcoin is very bright it can be a stable and valuable legacy for our children.

What prevents you from creating several wallets for each of your children and regularly investing a certain amount of money in them? It doesn’t matter that the children are small; you are still their parent, who is obliged to raise the children until they reach adulthood. Why should they understand Bitcoin now? The time will come, and you will be able to give them what you now seem to be concerned about. The only thing you can't go wrong with is that the sooner you decide to invest in your children's wallets, the more they will receive as adults.

I have had this thought for some time and I decided to do a little accumulation and savings bit by bit as I can invest within my capacity. Although I am yet to marry but I have plans for my kids in the future. I started with just one account with the minimum of $10 worth of bitcoin on a weekly basis.  This is just the first step I decided to take till i get married and start having kids. I will also devote my time to teach them about bitcoin from their tender age so that before they could grow to maturity, they already have idea and knowledge about bitcoin even if they do not show interest, at least let them have the knowledge about bitcoin.

I was going through the textbook of my son, and I saw that they had been taught about crypto currency as a type of money. They even discussed the origin of cryptocurrency and explained Bitcoin to a large extent. My son usually hear me talk about Bitcoin with my wife, so he understands that it is money but I intend to explain to him about the investment part of it when he gets to a certain age. My only challenge is the security part of it. He might go and tell his friends that his father has Bitcoin, and we don't know who the relatives of these friends are.

My plans is to set up a wallet for each of my children. Using DCA, I will keep buying and hodling the coin. This will serve as my backup fund to take care of their education when they go to college. But in case of an emergency, when they are at least 18 years old, I will inform them of these wallets and tell them how to access them if I am not around to help them pay their bills.

That's an interesting topic. I'm not planning to have kids, so at some point, I'll spend all my Bitcoin, but it still was interesting to read the thoughts of other people.

It has been in my mind to teach my unborn children BTC and crypto, so that when they grow up in the society, they will not be struggle to grow financially because there are opportunity in BTC and crypto to grow up financially and materially in the industry.

No, that is not in my plan to store BTC and crypto in the cold storage wallet for my unborn children, because anything can happen to the market that will make the coins to disappear from the market for other new coins to start spreading to take BTC position and other cryptocurrencies. I'm using BTC investment to generate incomes that will make my unborn children wealthy, financially and materially in the society, which is the reason, I used to take every opportunity in the market to purchase some BTC to add to my portfolio, and wait for 10 or 12 years before I can release them for sale to make millions of dollars that will increase my wealth for my unborn children to live to enjoy for life time.

It’s a good idea to explain Bitcoin to your kids but maybe you can wait until they are 10 or something, if your personal situation allows it. Set up a test wallet & let them play with sats, they need to know how to send & receive transactions safely. The most important thing is security so you’re going to have to spend a lot of time explaining public & private keys, cold storage, seeds & how important security is. If you plan to leave a lot of money in Bitcoin for their inheritance you’re going to need to really make sure you educate them on Bitcoin.

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 would say don't give much bitcoins for them, let them be and watch them grow, just guide them that's what is important eventually they will figure thing out, kids this days are so intelligent, remember a kid making millions on a shark NFT's, best thing you can share them is you're experience and knowledge about bitcoin, bitcoin will here to stay, eventually if they like crypto like you, they will continue the path you have taken.
why i'm emotional when it comes to children, I just want them to live and do what they really love.

I will never talk about my wealth to my kids and I don't want them to expose my wealth to them.
I agree with this educational style and Warren Buffet did not let his children knew about his super wealth..

Quote
I will act like a broke person and being very stingy when they ask for money, the most important thing I will teach them is work hard and support what they interested/like to do, if they don't interested with Bitcoin, I will not explain it.

It's better for them to build their own wealth rather than knowing if they have money which they can spend it to anything they like.
If we give them great fortune, and let them know about this inheritance when they are very young, they will lack of motivation to learn, get an occupation, find job and work as a normal citizen in society.

Educate them, keep our wealth in secret and don't tell them about any level of inheritance in time they only need to focus on learning, shaping their own brain, knowledge and characteristic, discipline. When they are educative, matured enough, we are older enough, we can proceed things about inheritance.

Videos online, and other stuff.

I can't say an exact way because I believe that in the future, we might see different and more efficient ways of teaching our kids something and that includes cryptocurrency. Now we are seeing AI being developed at a rapid pace. I mean with the help of AI, we might see another way to introduce Bitcoin to our children. My long-term plan? Just secure my seed phrase, and I've already gave a copy of all of my seed phrases to the one that I trusted the most so that if the worst thing happens to me, at least there's somebody that can teach or at least tell my children that I'm storing some Bitcoins and other assets.

If there's somebody around you that's knowledgeable about crypto, passing it will not be that hard because for sure, he/she knows what to do based on what you said as the owner of those assets. Well, there might be instances where some of the heirs will prefer just cash instead of crypto and if that's the case then they just need to convert it. It doesn't need to be passed down as crypto if the heirs don't want it at first place. I don't see passing down problematic. If they want crypto, and they're knowledgeable about it, give it as crypto. If they don't want, give it as hard cash. As for storing, hard wallet is the best so far, but maybe, just maybe we might see a better one in the future.

Cold wallets are the best place for me and other people who plan long term for education costs and health costs for those who don't have children and wives and for those who already have children and wives.

Bitcoin is a legacy that is worth preserving and continuing because Bitcoin is a very valuable asset that can be used by anyone because its value is not the same as fiat currency.
I have planned some of the amount of Bitcoin I have for educational purposes, even during this time I have also planned bigger things with Bitcoin for the future.

The best you can do for your children is nurturing them and educating them. The first task is easy than the second task, but education is key for your children future, not food or how much money you leave to your children as inheritance.

If they are educated well, they will have good major and occupation for their future then they can work and get money by themselves. Rich can be achieve by themselves too if they are knowledgeable through education. There are other soft skills but education is a key in all the complex process.

Wealth distribution in society will be done naturally, from generation to generation, you don't have to worry about that.

If choosing bitcoin as next of kin benefits becomes the case then I will say you be ready to take custody of the child benefit for a long time at least you have to hold the money in bitcoin for the child until he, she is old enough to be thought about bitcoin at least to the extent of how to protect their bitcoin and also be financially discipline.


If the above principle have been achieved, then you can pass the bitcoin custody to you next of kin to have total control over the funds, but just as you said this format seems to be risky.
