like in a fairy tale, when a pony that comes to wake people up has been asleep for hundreds of years.
bitcoin is a natural resource that is found today, may be expensive in the next 100 years due to frequent burning in halving and buying and selling activities and storing, but that doesn't mean there is no possibility of a return to the price of $ 1 / 1 bitcoin right?
there are so many imaginations about what has not happened, death or events that will not necessarily happen in the future, all cannot be separated because we still want to enjoy wealth and enjoy wealth.
enough to make me pensive
Topic: Hypothetically keeping your bitcoin when you die? - page 2. (Read 437 times)
Freeze ourselves? Hm, your imagination is too high.
That's a hypothetical question. We can assume that this will be possible in the next 100 years. Don't forget that bringing someone back to life by use of electric shock was unknown in the 19th century and now defib units are very common. Every ER unit has one. Quote
But if that is opportunity comes to me, I think I will hide my btc, including my private keys that only I knows the place and I will not let other people know about that.
This was discussed before. You may not remember anything when you wake up and leaving clues may lead to people finding your coins before you're brought back to life.
When you die all you have goes out of your control. Material things don't matter anymore especially if you don't know how long it will take before someone decides to wake you up. Maybe it will be in 300 years when there's no bitcoin anymore.
Freeze ourselves? Hm, your imagination is too high. But if that is opportunity comes to me, I think I will hide my btc, including my private keys that only I knows the place and I will not let other people know about that. Maybe I will give some amount to my family and let them use it for their benefit. Besides that, I will give them an envelope with a letter inside that envelope as my legacy that they must give to their children and grandchildren so when I wake up again in the next 100 years, they can give that letter to me. I think a paper will be rare at that time, so they must take care of it.
We don't know how much technology will be advanced in the future but bringing back the dead one's seems only fictional to me and will not be possible.So this is your thoughts only and why are you assuming to be immortal? You can spend your btc within few years and live life happily and in good manner.So why have the wish for next few hundred years or maybe btc won't be there so what will you do at that time? Enjoy the things at the time and rest we can't say what will happen in future.
I will hide the bitcoins somewhere and I will request that I be buried with my diary, so that when I wake up.. that I have some memories of the past. Then when I wake up, I will go on a treasure hunt to find the bitcoins that I stashed somewhere.
You can request that certain belongings be stored (not frozen obviously) ..with your capsule .... or you can put tattoos with a treasure map on your body, that you have to figure out when you are alive again.

Are you a fan of Captain America?, Don't watch movies too much. 100 years is a very long time, Bitcoin is also just a man-made product like fiat or other valuables. With the rapid development of technology, in the next 5 years 10 years, perhaps bitcoin will become even more special as its value increases and is widely used. But 100 years later, I think bitcoin has been replaced by something better.
You should've copied this from some movie or this script can be taken as a movie. Beyond that what you've discussed is meaningless. Life is not mechanical device that stops when the battery is empty and wakes once it gets charged. Everyone moving forward with the hope of seeing the next second. Imagination is good, but anything beyond the limitation is useless. Same is your imagination. Nothing intentional/offensive, just the reality.
Hey, so what if you freeze yourself? And then there is technology to bring you back from the dead hundred years later.
Lol , so you wanna risk your funds just because of science ? instead of your family will benefits from your hard earned funds here in crypto then all you got is floating the funds in the air?Inherit your funds to your love one and forget about this stupid idea , technology will never bring back people from the dead , don't watch too much Sci Fi movies this is not what Crypto investment is all about.
again those coins beside you then the main question is, who would be the one to maintain out your body for a long time? Can you assure that someone would be waking you up after a hundred years?
This is just way too far extent even though its a presumption but even in our dreams it cant really be possible.
what if another pandemic comes while you are under experiment and the world in his location ends up to nothing? then all the asset will gone also
this is what we get when too much imagination because of movies we watched
Me, I never have any plan of bringing with me any Bitcoin or any material wealth with me when I die. There are so many possibilities in the future. A body could be frozen and perhaps even brought back to life. I don't find those interesting. I think I would just have to give away my Bitcoin or any properties that I own to my children or to family members. There is no point holding on to those. Death is the ultimate destination of our existence here. We just have to face that.
You are talking about hibernation which is only possible to a mudfish and a human it's not capable of doing it as of now. You can try it but in another way, I mean you can hold BTC and forget about it for about 50 years. You can live without updating yourself with the crypto industry anyway, just live your whole life to the fullest so that you will be able to stop thinking about any crypto-related topic until you reach your goal and see the result for yourself.
Might not remember much of anything
This is where the problem lies. Anything that requires you to have some knowledge or memory might fail. Anything that does not require some knowledge or memory is something that ANYONE else could do and therefore take your bitcoin.If... lets say, you kept it in a steel container with instructions
Will you remember it's in a steel container? WIll the container be hidden in a way that you can find it?If finding it requires memory of it, then you might not remember. If finding it does not require memory of it, then someone else may find it.
any way to make sure the people freezing you dont just take it?
Only if you can count on having a memory of it.Or if they dont, what if you wake up, and you dont realize what you have?
Yep. You either need to trust someone with the info (in case you forget), or you need to trust that you'll have memory.Maybe I could put on on stainless steel, like a thin sheet, scratch the seed phrase in, then have it shoved in my arm or leg and stitch it up, then die, wake up.
If they search your body before freezing you, they'll likely find it (especially if they xray you first).Maybe have some sort of instructions that would only make sense to me in the event i forget about it...
And if you forget the thing that allows those instructions to make sense to you?or..... maybe like... I put it in an awkward place in my arm or leg so it's guaranteed to give me some major issues and will need removed so it will remind me. like if i forget my memories, I wake up, ouch my leg kinda hurts when i walk. go to doc, doc x rays and is like you got some random metal in your leg wtf lets remove it. on th metal, rolled up, it says "my name" or whatever to open only. no one else. then has instructions how to retrieve the btc?
You still have to hope that nobody discovers it in the freezing process and that nobody discovers it while you're frozen. You also need to hope that having a chunk of metal won't interfere with the freezing process and make it ineffective or severely damage the surrounding tissue.Like go to a bank and be like hey, can I rent out the safe deposit box for the next 100 years?
Will you remember that you put something in the bank box? And if you do, the bank might go out of business 10 years before you are revived and all contents of unclaimed boxes are destroyed?Anything that requires knowledge, requires you to remember something. Planning under the assumption of a loss of memory means planning for the possibility that you are a completely different person, meaning that a completely different person can access it.
Thank you thank you very much for reading through all that and all your opinions/comments. That's a lot to think about so yeah... I got to figure this out...
Come on dude, you're not fantasizing about the BTC you have in the future please be realistic and be a social being, think about your family and friends. you must realize what you want is something that not real, you and us never be live forever more than 100 years forget about money and enjoy your life
Yeah, I plan on leaving most of my btc/stuff to whatever family I have that survives my death. But thing is who knows if I will even have a family? I dont have kids atm, and there is a good chance I may never. I might be the last of my bloodline. Lets just say I'm not particularly good looking. But if I do, I'm already saving now for those potential kids I may have one day.
Thing is, I kick myself as I missed out on bitcoin back in the day. Now, will be lucky if btc goes to a million 20 years from now. I doubt I'll see the success in my lifetime. Maybe see my money grow enough to go from being dirt poor to maybe middle class and if I have kids they can have a nicer life but that's why I fantasize a lot.
Hey, so what if you freeze yourself? And then there is technology to bring you back from the dead hundred years later.
Is there any good way to keep some bitcoin on you for this situation?
I plan on giving/inhriting most of my btc to and kids I might have in the future, but.... butttt.... what if I froze myself, kept some btc.
Is there any good idea how I keep my private keys with me? There is no gurantee I would remember a seed phrase in my head when I woke up. Might not remember much of anything. Idk no one knows.
but I'm pretty sure 100 years from now btc will be tens of millions if not more per coin, so even just 0.1btc would prob make you a millionaire.
If... lets say, you kept it in a steel container with instructions, any way to make sure the people freezing you dont just take it? Or if they dont, what if you wake up, and you dont realize what you have? Someone could easily take it from you then.

Assuming I dont have great great grand kids who want to help their ancestor in some way who show up on my revival?
All of course assuming it is possible for humans to revive the dead in the future. idk. wouldnt it be funny, there is an afterlife, and you tell people there how you had bitcoin and if it is worth a bunch telling everyone how if you were alive you would be rich, then suddenly you get sucked out of the afterlife into your body? Maybe it takes 1000 years later, and 1 bitcoin is a trillion dollars lol. but then it would suck if you wake up and someone performs operation on you in the process of waking you up and sees and takes it? Man... too bad things cant just be literally etched into the brain so there can be no possibility of forgetting it or something.
Idk, anyone have any ideas?
do any post death trusts exist? Like go to a bank and be like hey, can I rent out the safe deposit box for the next 100 years?
THen its your luck it's 101 years when you revive and the bank threw out your seed phrase lol

Freeze yourself?
I think it's just a joke, living humans will surely die and no technology is able to revive the dead, as long as we live it's better to provide more benefits to others so that when we die at least people still remember us, I think it's better for us to tell the people we trust the most be it our wives, husbands, children or parents about the key assets that we have so far and at least leave a message to share them as inheritance or charity rather than the assets just disappearing, I think no matter how great human science is, it certainly won't bring the dead back to life, so I think you're too deeply immersed in what's in the film that you think about freezing yourself.
The average age in my country is 60 to 70 years, so in no way we people can get coins after 100 years. I being a diabetics patients foresee even a shorter life span. Its better for all us to spend and enjoy life with our loved ones rahter the waiting for indefinite period of time to get the profit.
What's the point of getting money when you are old enough and can't walk properly. Better enjoy the money you have in your hand when you are healthy and young.

Reading the thread that OP has posted the word freezing your body is the one that really caught my attention, actually, this kind of scenario is kind of movie scene that I only encounter once in movie which I forgot what is the title of that movie though. And to be honest I am not sure if this kind of body preservation is already take place but like what other member here said I would rather spend my assets and enjoy my money with my love ones. Enjoying life while you are young is so priceless and memorable so why would you choose to froze yourself and take a risk hoping that after a 100 years you'll be bring back to life.
I think that freezing oneself is a way bigger challenge than keeping the coins. I would give mine to my family, to be honest, but if freezing becomes very common and very safe, I think that ways of keeping your money and possessions would as well. I thought of where one could put the passphrase, but leaving it online is impractical in case any particular server or company fails, and putting it into any physical location is also unsafe because the geography of the place can change unbelievably, and even if you know the exact place, extracting it can be a big problem. So I think the safest option would be to print out the passphrase, laminate it in plastic, and put it next to oneself in the freezing camera (if being frozen in clothes, preferrably in the pocket). I wouldn't trust any company to survive over the centuries, so I don't consider that as an option.

There has been no example of someone who has been frozen and "resurrected". If an insane person were to freeze themselves while alive right now, it's the case they would die right there and never to recover. The brain needs those electric pulses to retain all the components, connections and memories that are stored - you'd be short circuiting it. While some people might wish they could live forever, or at least be reawakened in some distant future, we simply do not have the tech right now and even if the tech did become a reality in future, it's unlikely to recover people who were not conditioned in the correct way as you'd just be looking at a dead slab of frozen meat.
I would rather prefer spending all the money during my natural life than holding any amount to spend after 100 years. You will never be able to have a normal life after being absent for 100 years.
Does it make sense for you that someone try to find an answer for such an imaginary scene?

This is just way too far extent even though its a presumption but even in our dreams it cant really be possible.
If it is possible for us to get revived by some technology then it is also possible that we can retain our memory and the moment you wake up you will still remember the the places where you placed your private keys to be able to open your crypto wallets but seriously I do not think what your wishing is going to happen.
If that is possible, it already happened before. There is only one place where we can go when we die and that is heaven but I think things such as re incarnation is more possible to happen and there are proofs of this before however you wont remember a single thing when you go back to earth. There is no more surer other than inheriting our coins to our loved ones.
