If you memorize your seed-phrase, you can in fact take your Bitcoin with you into the afterlife.

Hear me out—logic dictates that if the mortal Blockchain cannot be accessed, a heavenly fork will most likely arise to allow continuity to cross over into the beyond. When you’re out there sitting by the big pool in the sky chatting it up with your ancestors you can probably convince at least a few of them to covet your mathematically derived holdings and continue experiencing the good life even in the afterlife. Bitcoin is just math after all. Ain’t nothin’ stopping it from existing in any reasonable afterlife. Math, economic incentive, and human nature. It’s a beautiful thing.
