What happens to your cryptocurrency when you die??
A thread...
Did you know it’s illegal to log into a dead person’s crypto account?
So if you're a crypto investor and you died today, who reaps your fortune?
No one, technically, unless you name a beneficiary in your will. And it's a big deal as ~3.7M bitcoins, $140B is unrecoverable (excluding the 10k+ other cryptocurrencies) since the investor either lost their password or died intestate.
And you can’t just “reset” the password. This is because, when the cryptocurrency network confirms passwords to allow transactions, it does not see or know the password itself!
This complex algorithm keeps the system decentralized. So a lost password is lost money.
