Dead Money

It may not be forgotten, but it may be inaccessible!

I understand most people don't want to think about it, but let's be realistic.

The moment you're born, you start to die.

While most (older ;-)) people have wills, young people usually don't bother with them. This is okay, all your assets are known, either via banks or institutions, or via the tax collector.

This is not the case for Crypto-currency.

The security for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Steem and other crypto's makes it impossible to retrieve your money without the proper passwords.

So, here's the big question;
When you die, can someone access yout crypto's? Do you have the information stored somewhere so your loved ones can access it? And do they know about it? Or are you like most, keeping it all secure before someone steals it?
Will we get a post from someone telling us; he/she died but the memory will live on, or will it be a sudden radio silence?

Just a quick question, someone to think about maybe?

I was wondering the same thing myself... thanks for asking the question.
