I make a treasure chest, bury it somewhere, then hide the map in a puzzle image I upload to the blockchain for everybody to see. First person to solve the puzzle and survive my deadly traps will get the treasure.
Love this, Cold storage with the various 2FA and seeds in different chests placed all over the world... remote locations like pacific islands and up mountains etc... although it would have to be pre planned in advance... maybe if I got a terminal with a good two years left...
In the chest it's just a note that says "the real treasure is the friends you make along the way" and a mirror that says "employee of the month" on it.
I don't know the specific if it has a deadline to go to 0, but just by halving rules in 120 years there will be 0.0000008 btc mined daily, instead of 900 right now. At some point supply gets irrelevant.
Except apparently ETFs are not even insured against hack/theft(imagine Black~~Cock~~Rock employee steals your ETFs) and about only $100M is insured on coinbase cust. :D
*Briefly read some article today.*
Eventually SHA256 is crackable. The btc network will need an upgrade to algorithm to secure coins. But those “lost coins” will be up for grabs as there will be no one there to move them to an upgraded secure address. If bitcoin makes it to this future scenario then all 21 million coins will be in play.
why not just donate it or hand it to friends... shit threads like this sometimes make me lose faith in humanity.
"i believe in afterlife and imma get my coin 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡" dayum son.... what a sad and at the same time shitty story.
i hope OP lifes in a poor 3rd world country where nobody collaborates. that would at least partly be an excuse.
That increases the value by an insignificant amount, and most of that will go to whales who need it the least. Donate it to friends or somewhere it will make an actual difference.
I think about that from time to time…. how much a young(ish) couple with little crotch goblins is probably struggling right now. Living by myself, making halfway decent money (for where I live), and the ability to live off of canned soup (if I feel like it) means I don’t have to worry about feeding little sex trophies and pissing away an absurd amount of money on them in general.
The joke is on me in the end tho— I’m 36 and still don’t have kids, so I will probably die alone in a nursing home.
Pretty much. I got two and just lost my job because one of them had an ear infection for 4 months and I missed too many days of work and got over the point system. So now that she is better now and I'm 100% good to go, I got fired. Amazing how the universe works.
Ahh man I’m sorry man. That’s fucking miserable. Hope you find something new without much problem. If all else fails, and you don’t have much education/training, the trades are ALWAYS looking for help… and starting pay isn’t all that bad (for the most part).
Yea I'm a tradie but got too broken to stay one. Yes, its miserable but needed to get away from a piece of shit anyways. No worries, thanks for the wishes.
Send a small amount to a friend's wallet... Then tell them to check they got it. Then send them the entire balance before you leave. Wish them well in life.
Why bother with all that. Just remote view dead and lost wallets now.
Regardless, Buddhist teachings suggest you should give it away before you die because attachments can be an impediment to full enlightenment or nirvana. Also, planet Earth isn't necessarily the best place to reincarnate.
Seriously .., what the hell is wrong with everyone. I was literally worrying about this the other day. What if I died and my bitcoin was wasted. All these clowns are like … burn em … fuck everyone . Kinda not the point of bitcoin but w/e.
You guys all serious ? no scientific research, people in need… nothing in that vein is important to you at all ? you’d rather just let the value rot … man that’s kinda fucked up guys.
I'm an electrician. Always wanted to write seed phrases on the back of junction box covers. 50 bucks today might be 10k 60 years from now.would be a nice surprise for future generation electricians. Not really "death bed" comment but maybe if I knew I was dying from cancer or something but still working for now I'd do that
I just read the Uvalde Report...I would donate to somewhere that helps small children live their best lives. Like hospitals, orphanages, charities...there are a lot of kids that need help out there.
Depending on how much bitcoins were talking about.
If it’s a huge amount - I’ll try to donate some to a non profit organization that is known to not steal money and actually help others.
Some I will donate for my city to build projects that will help the youth
If I have any good friends by that time I will make a trust for their kids college.
Rest will most likely be burned as satoshi said “donating to everyone”
>I also believe in reincarnation and the afterlife, so in case that turns out to be true I'm going to go to a Hypnotherapist and re-remember my seed phrase
If your reincarnated self is able to remember to go to a hypnotherapist to recover the seed phrase, why can't your reincarnated self just remember the seed phrase in the first place?

Please don’t. There are thousands of charities that could put the money to good use helping people. Find one that aligns with something you love and give them the money. Be a hero with your final actions.
This is why HNW’s will buy bitcoin ETF’s - aint no one remembering jack on their deathbeds or might not even have the strength or mental acumen to do half the stuff mentioned in this thread on an app while literally dying.
As an ETF, it’s just another asset in the will/estate and will go wherever you decided when your brain was still working.
I would give some to my other family members, like cousins or my cousins kids. And if I was ill and knew my time was coming, I would have probably already cashed out a bit too and donated the money to charities I support.
Implant a secret microchip into my dog with a ciphered key. Time delayed message to be sent to whoever I left the dog to on the dog’s 10th birthday explaining what I’d done and the cipher. End it with, “Hope you’re still taking good care of my dog…”
If I'm literally on my death bed in the hospital and have like less than 2 weeks to live and I happen to have no friends left : would talk and get to know the staff that is working there (be it nurse, janitor, doctor, etc) and other patients close to me and I would choose to give them my bitcoins based on their situations, financial knowledge and their personality.
If I still have friends who are alive, I would give it to them instead.
Lol what if your next self isn't human? Or if you are human and you have no interest in hypnotherapist? Wouldn't you agree that many live their entire lives without any understanding or connection to their spiritual side?
Some of you seriously got nobody other than “significant other” to pass things on to?
Friends? Siblings? Other family?
Did you just magically appear out of your mother’s hole and immediately go hide in another your entire lives?
Damn! This is abstract thinking. If only… scheduling an appointment now with a hypnotherapist. Maybe I was a pirate last time around. Hopefully my treasure awaits!
My hypnotherapist helped me discover that I threw a giant blue diamond into the ocean over the wreck of the Titanic. Anyone want to help me recover it?
A good friend of mine (we've been friends for over 40 years) has half my seed phrase, and my sister (a CPA) has the other half. Their instructions are to split it.
My husband and I do not have children yet so as of now, our nephews and nieces will get to split our Bitcoin. They are between the ages of 8-23 yrs old.
If I get to the point where there is nobody left to pass them on too I will implement a dead man’s switch and send min_output to the genesis block with the rest of my coinage being the transaction fee.
If you don’t have anyone to donate and don’t want to do a treasure hunt I would just destroy your keys. You would be helping out those who still have Bitcoin by adding it to the lost or forgotten pile.

Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Last Bitcoin
That's a lot of effort for someone on their deathbed
Prep it all and load it onto a Deadman switch. If you don't renew the e.g. yearly timer, it uploads the image to the r/bitcoin, and away we go!
How would taxes work in this situation? It's a gift, right? So no capital gains tax?
If he got private keys directly, probably no need to pay taxes if they can spend it directly.
You can't just give a pile of cash to someone else and say okay it's yours now, have fun. Same with BTC.
I'm not arguing about the morality, just about the possibility. Also not every country has strong tax enforcement.
Morality. Taxation is theft.
Also for about $500 dollars worth of BTC probably.
Ready Player One. I like it
> Do you want to play a game?
Love this, Cold storage with the various 2FA and seeds in different chests placed all over the world... remote locations like pacific islands and up mountains etc... although it would have to be pre planned in advance... maybe if I got a terminal with a good two years left...
In the chest it's just a note that says "the real treasure is the friends you make along the way" and a mirror that says "employee of the month" on it.
Amazing plan. I’d read that comic book
Coke and hookers.
Go out with a BANG
You will be coming and going simultaneously
All day every day friend
The only real answer.
Send them to "Satashi".
LOL is this Jamie Dimon? 😆
I'm not Jamie! But Bitcoin is a scam, don't get involved!!!
No utility, like a pet rock 😆. (Although that pet rock did put a new roof on my house, bought me a new truck, and paid for a three month sabbatical).
Your rock is just a Tulip , nothing to see here
I mean we knew this already when you typed ‘Satashi’ …..
Lol everytime i hear this shit now it cracks me down
Satashi here… just between us, I really won’t need them bc I’m gonna create 20 million more BTC once the current sats are all mined…
2140?
No one has ever proved to me it ends in 2140(I am bad at understanding simple summation functions)
I don't know the specific if it has a deadline to go to 0, but just by halving rules in 120 years there will be 0.0000008 btc mined daily, instead of 900 right now. At some point supply gets irrelevant.
I'm jokequoting Jamie Dimon.
oh you're right, lol whoosh
Satashi is an immortal God
Also Satashi here. After my colleague does that i’m going to broadcast a troll meme and delete everything forever
Open source mean anything to you ??
Letting them disappear is the most well distributed donation to the rest of bitcoiners.
Another dynamic that is significant and overlooked.
Donate to bitcoin devs?
They have bitcoin. You are donating it to them.
Pour em out for the homies
Because less supply...I c what u meant. Would be the best option exactly what OP had in mind.
Yeah I mean why donate to important research or anything like that
If they have bitcoin they all get a bump equally.
I think in the distant future, so many coins will be lost that the whole universal economy is run on just 14 bitcoins.
You mean 42 bitcoin, right? The answer to the universe, of course.
Bitcoin can theoretically run with 1 coin
Statistically if some bitcoin is lost each year due to human error or death then overtime the total accessible bitcoin will eventually reach 0.
No. We have ETFs now. So what they hold cannot be lost.
They can always be lost. It'd be a fucking disaster for the ETF manager.
An unfortunate boating disaster
Lol.
Except apparently ETFs are not even insured against hack/theft(imagine Black~~Cock~~Rock employee steals your ETFs) and about only $100M is insured on coinbase cust. :D *Briefly read some article today.*

That will just be a new way to mine after 2140. In the meantime, let’s look into upgrading to SHA16777216.
"Donate" to the network and just be grateful I had a chance to participate in one of the greatest inventions ever.
He bitcoins
Yes?
r/beetlejuicing
I will change my name to the network
That's some clown shit ngl
By that logic, Satoshi must be the biggest clown to ever walk the earth for leaving all of their coins untouched and likely never be accessed again.
Not its not goofy. To my understanding, that would make your (if you own) bitcoin more valuable.
why not just donate it or hand it to friends... shit threads like this sometimes make me lose faith in humanity. "i believe in afterlife and imma get my coin 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡" dayum son.... what a sad and at the same time shitty story. i hope OP lifes in a poor 3rd world country where nobody collaborates. that would at least partly be an excuse.
That increases the value by an insignificant amount, and most of that will go to whales who need it the least. Donate it to friends or somewhere it will make an actual difference.
Give them to a favorite charity.
Hello, my name is charity
Two chicks at same time, bro.
Find a middle class family with young kids. They're probably having a tough time right now and every bit helps
I think about that from time to time…. how much a young(ish) couple with little crotch goblins is probably struggling right now. Living by myself, making halfway decent money (for where I live), and the ability to live off of canned soup (if I feel like it) means I don’t have to worry about feeding little sex trophies and pissing away an absurd amount of money on them in general. The joke is on me in the end tho— I’m 36 and still don’t have kids, so I will probably die alone in a nursing home.

Give them to a military-aged Islamic migrant who traveled 7000 miles to illegally enter the United States; they are so in need of our help.

Donate them to charity.
Have my seed carved into my headstone, maybe some bright spark might figure out what it is.
here lies "Yacht, Flower, Bungalow, Desire, Bicycle, Tree, etc etc" RIP.

You'll have to murder your hypnotherapist after they've got the memory from you and jotted it down. If they haven't murdered you first.
Multi sig your therapists?
This brought me to the scene in Total Rekall.
You went to those brain butchers!?
Send them to my friends and family. I got people I care about outside of who I live with. Crazy concept I know
Absent that, give it to some charity feeding or providing water to people who need it.
Seriously .., what the hell is wrong with everyone. I was literally worrying about this the other day. What if I died and my bitcoin was wasted. All these clowns are like … burn em … fuck everyone . Kinda not the point of bitcoin but w/e.
These hypothetical shitposts need a separate subreddit.
or we need a new sub that those shitheads don't find casually.
They’re honestly better than the midwitted ETF posts.
ETF making a balloon deflating noise.
Burn them. No one gets anything.
And everyone gets some of it
Exactly 😉
You guys all serious ? no scientific research, people in need… nothing in that vein is important to you at all ? you’d rather just let the value rot … man that’s kinda fucked up guys.

Give to friends
Give them to the person you trust most - tiddles the cat.
I will give them to my niece. She is the best of us.
I am not married nor ever will be. I have no desire to have children. All of my assets will be bequeathed to my first cousins, whom I love dearly.
I just read the Uvalde Report...I would donate to somewhere that helps small children live their best lives. Like hospitals, orphanages, charities...there are a lot of kids that need help out there.
donate to some type of Kids sports or education
Why not become a hypnotherepist now, and remember where your past self buried treasure?
Nieces and nephew will get it. Those little hooligans are my favorite people in the world.
Do the right thing, let them go dormant.
let the BTC sleep with you forever, how romantic ❤️🙏
I’m be using mine when I get to Heaven 😇🤩
Return them to the great source, send them to satoshi's wallet.
Depending on how much bitcoins were talking about. If it’s a huge amount - I’ll try to donate some to a non profit organization that is known to not steal money and actually help others.

I HODL!! Maybe they are worth something in the afterlife, their value will only increase due to scarcity anyway.
Give them to me
Send them to wallets that are active with low balances

Charity. But if I get to my death bed with any BTC left, something went wrong lol
On my death bed? I use them to buy a shot of heroin. Not that i’ve ever used heroin and then donate the rest to wildlife conservation in Africa:

million good things you could do with money of any kind besides what you said
Charity.
Why wouldn't you donate it to some charity and try to do some good in the world before you go?
Have children. They are a blessing far greater than anything on earth
So I worked my whole life to buy bitcoin and I held it to the end and never got to reap the rewards? Am I understanding the question correctly?
Call myself a moron for HOLDin until deathbed.
donate to a charitable cause. Just because its Bitcoin doesnt mean life's purpose should change
I got a million nieces and nephews with kids. I plan to live forever tho in a bioengineered body, so I’ll be around.

Na fuck it, if I got no one I'm giving it to the nurse I like the best. They work their ass off dealing with dying people, they can have a break.
My significant other is already dead? I cashed all them bitcorns in and spent it on strippers and blow. If not that, then my niece is going to be set.
I'm beginning to think the average user age of this sub is under 15.
donate to btc core devs, LN wallet devs, and those helping to start btc circular economies
If you're really adventurous, you could freeze your head in cryo and when you get revived you still have BTC
Implant a secret microchip into my dog with a ciphered key. Time delayed message to be sent to whoever I left the dog to on the dog’s 10th birthday explaining what I’d done and the cipher. End it with, “Hope you’re still taking good care of my dog…”

Send them to satoshis wallet
Probably donate to wikipedia
Why don't you create a treasure hunt and leave clues behind that your future reborn self would be intrigued by
Nothing. If I truly have no one, they won't move.
Post a "Send Me One, I'll Send YOU Two!" message... And then do it until the wallet is empty!

Some of you seriously got nobody other than “significant other” to pass things on to? Friends? Siblings? Other family? Did you just magically appear out of your mother’s hole and immediately go hide in another your entire lives?

lmao nice humor

Damn! This is abstract thinking. If only… scheduling an appointment now with a hypnotherapist. Maybe I was a pirate last time around. Hopefully my treasure awaits!
A portion will go to friends and family and the rest to charity.
Take them with me 😂 I got kids to leave them to though so I’ll pass my belongings down.
The universe is a simulation and you take all your bitcoin with you when you die

At my deathbed ?? Hell I can still donate … to OF !
OP how do you know you haven't already been reincarnated and just sitting on a landslide of coins from many previous lives?
A good friend of mine (we've been friends for over 40 years) has half my seed phrase, and my sister (a CPA) has the other half. Their instructions are to split it.
