That's why we should include bitcoin in a will or bank safe.
So as not to accidentally happen when our family members can not get their bitcoin

I think its not a big issue because we can do one think like most of peoples done for other properties just print all passwords and keys on a paper and keep them safe place for one of follower after you because its very important for all they need to spend this money

What will happen??

No one will have the BTC address. Hence will them isolated?

In FIAT, people can handover money to someone.. So, i predict BTC will be disappeared gradually.

That's why you need to find at least one trusted person if you're not living alone. If you're a family, you should trust your wife and teach her how to use a bitcoin wallet and its funds. Otherwise your funds get lost forever.

if a bitcoin holders die then his bitcoins will also dies if he dont share his password or private key to unluck his account and spend the bitcoins and also it will greatly affect the circulating supply of bitcoin if those coins wont be spend or completly lost. that is why much better if we can tell our love ones or some trusted person about our bitcoin and bitcoin wallets so that they can open it immediately if something bad can happen to us. in my case i also been done this before because i give my password to my mother and i instructed her everything about bitcoin but she's still a bit confuse until now. this is also another problem for some of us because bitcoin is infact really hard to understand or to teach to some average person without proper knowledge on how technollogy works.

Holder just need to leave the wallet and key to his/her relative or husband/wife, even if person don't know how it's work he/she will understand Grin

Also I don't see obstacles to include all the necessary information in testament.

I think anyone who has invested a decent amount into crytocurrency needs to make sure that they've secured it safely & that they've provided a trusted loved one the ability to access that investment should something happen to you. I've shown my wife how to open & operate my hardware wallet & have written her the pin code & kept it safe.

If a person dies and his or her family have no knowledge of his or her wallet address and passwords, the bitcoin will remain and no one will access them. However, if a family member is aware of the wallet address, the btc can be accessed.currently, there are no laws that allow wallet dress owners to provide list if beneficiaries. I hope this will be considered in future when btc is globally legalized by different governments.

It will just be a waste like all the thousands btc which are in the network buy no one can access is because the early adopters felt it's useless and simply decided to either through away their hardware or delete the wallet without making any sort of backup.

What's gone is gone but what can be done now is you should share all the important details and educate them how to access it.

This was a good question yeah what will happen to the Bitcoin of the holder if he/she died . But i think it cannot access by his/her family if they have not enough information about it. It was such a big waste of money if thats happen you invest then you can not even use it or your family can not use it. So maybe its a good thing if your love ones and the people you trust the most will know the info about your Bitcoin than it will going to be wasted.

It is always good to share your wallet password, private key to a close confidant like your TRUSTED wife or kid by doing so there won't be any cases of lost bitcoin if such a person dies, it is very obvious there are a lot users who kept all their bitcoin details in secrecy this is absolutely uncalled for because those coins will be held unclaim and wasted in the network.

If a person suddenly dies and have not shared his private dsta like private key, passwords, his bitcoins will become useless.
As we know bitcoin is very secure, Nobody can access his wallet without having password or private keys because most wallets do not provide forgot password link like we have in email and forum wallets. If you want your bitcoins to be used after your death, share private keys to your kin relatives

That is what differs Bitcoin from banking system. If you die, it is highly possible that nobody will ever access your bitcoins. If Bitcoin becomes adapted by countries, it will be somehow regulated and there should be a procedure to follow in such situation. Still, I wouldn't share my private key or access to my hardware wallet with anyone. I would rather die with my bitcoins than give it to someone else (except charity and children).

Well,personally, I have already decided what will happen to my savings after the death.. I'm going to save the data of my wallets and other things, and deposit it in the bank. In advance, I will teach my children and relatives how to use crypto-currency.
So I can be sure that my works will not be wasted.

Ok, you teach them all things they need to know, and when they at some point see that you are nothing more than an obstacle for them, they'll get rid of you and have everything much sooner. Never make people 'smarter' than they need to be, and especially not when it comes to you 'promising' them a pretty pay day at some point. It's money that dictates the world, and even family won't hesitate to stab you in the back. If you want to proceed anyway, always make sure you use something like multisignature, which at all times requires several entities to sign.

If a person suddenly dies having BTC in his wallet without disclosing password to any of his family members,then those bitcoins would continue to remain unused.So,a paper copy of wallet's password must be made and kept safe in a place which could be reached by family members.Otherwise it would remain without any use for any one.I think that there are huge amounts of bitcoin which could not be accessed due to loss of passwords.
