(A reflection on inheritance in the digital realm)

In the old world, inheritance was paper.

A signature.
A witness.
A vault.
And a family fighting over what remains.

But Bitcoin changed this.

Now, a phrase of 12 words can carry generational sovereignty.

It is not just a password.
It is a seed.
And every seed carries potential.
Not just wealth — but intention.

We aren’t done with the old world just yet, we still live it for our future. Though I enjoyed your write up and the conjugations there in, to pass down your inheritance, you’ve still got to write down the seeds. Either digitally on some device or on paper for it to be keyed in and have wallets restored for access of them values.

One major difference, you don’t need some authority to declare you full access of what you are entitled. Once you’re in custody of the seeds, it’s yours to do as you will except you are an interim or have a sharing formula to it which you honorably stick by. All the same, you have the keys, you own it.
