In traditional finance, married couples usually opens joint bank account to manage money together. But when it comes to Bitcoin, things are are not always that simple. Should partners share a Bitcoin wallet like a joint bank account, or is it more smarter to just keep separate portfolios? A shared Bitcoin wallet helps builds transparency and can strengthen financial trust in a relationship. However, one big concern is security. If both partners got access to the same wallet and one of them falls for scam, all their Bitcoin could be gone forever.
Another issue is inheritance planning. If Bitcoin is held private by one partner and they pass away sudden without sharing access, the other one might struggle to get back the funds. And what if the couple ends up divorcing? That could turn into a whole different mess.

It’s a choice, and the level of trust which you are having with your partner will determine if you and your partner can share the same bitcoin wallet address. I have been in crypto for some time, but my partner doesn’t have much knowledge about bitcoin, so she doesn’t invest in bitcoin, but we are having a joint account. If she is interested in bitcoin investment, then we can just have the same wallet. She is my partner and I trust her, I don’t think she will even make attempt to touch the money.

If me and my partner are in control of one wallet, then I will be the one monitoring the wallet, because I have more knowledge about bitcoin than she does, so I just think it’s going to be difficult for me to scammed. I don’t think there will be any issues when it comes to inheritance, because i will definitely share the seed phrase with her even if I will be the one in control of the wallet.

It stupid to have all your btc in a single spot.

things go wrong
fires
earth quakes
floods
 theft.

if your partner invests and you invest separate accounts are safer.  you could also have a joint account

i have a joint account with my wife and we have seperate accounts.
