It dawned on me I need to start setting up beneficiaries and getting everything in order god forbid I got struck by a car tomorrow. Not only with my regular financial accounts, but especially my bitcoin. It's getting to a point where if my Bitcoin were to get locked up forever it would be devastating for those I love.
Now I know how Bitcoin works and how to properly secure it myself, but I would just like some ideas for those of you who have gone through the process of teaching family members or significant others how to access it.
I currently Keep my Bitcoin on a Cold Card with a passphrase connected to my home node. I know the Cold Card is probably the most confusing hardware wallet for non Bitcoin people which doesn't help. I also use Casa 2 of 3 multisig setup and have my BTC split between Casa and the CC. So three hardware wallets in total and obviously all seed phrases + passphrase + xpubs for the multisig are written down written down.
It just feels overwhelming to even begin teaching people how these work. How many people have you trusted? I will obviously teach my significant other, but should I also teach my Mother, Sister, etc for redundancy? Outside of all this the only thing I'm not 100% on is how my node effects access to others. I guess they would either need my computer login + wallet login to even access my Bitcoin or they would have to know how to fully restore a ColdCard via sd on a different computer thats not connected to my node. While I love my CC + passphrase + node setup as I feel its the most secure for me personally, I'm definitely getting anxiety imagining people trying to figure it out and not being able to if needed.
Anyway rant over. I guess I'm just looking for some ideas and systems you all use for passing on Bitcoin. Thanks ya'll.
