Before we conclude, this week’s “Bitcoin quick question” is what happens to your Bitcoins if you die?
The answer is – it depends. Did you back up your Bitcoins, and ensure someone you trust could gain access to your backups if something bad happens?
Bitcoins, or any cryptocurrency for that matter, are mathematical proofs. These mathematical proofs can be accessed using your mobile or desktop wallet apps, your secure hardware wallet, or can even be written on a piece of paper. As long as someone on your behalf has access to the mathematical proofs – your bitcoins will be safe.
And if they don’t? Your relatives will have to try and locate your backups, or even guess your passwords. For that reason, it is important to be prepared for any scenario. You could leave instructions in your will, leave a trail of clues known only to your relatives, or even create a deadman’s switch.
