Yeah, quantum computing could theoretically break Bitcoin’s encryption someday — but that day is probably a long way off. Right now, quantum computers aren’t powerful enough to do anything like that. And if they ever get close, the crypto community will likely upgrade Bitcoin’s security before it becomes a real risk. So while it’s a valid concern in the far future, it’s not something most of us need to lose sleep over today.
If you're serious about holding BTC long-term and want your family to be able to access it no matter what, hardware wallets are usually the best mix of security and practicality.
Software wallets are handy but not as safe for big holdings. Paper wallets are old-school and risky if lost or damaged. Exchange wallets are convenient but *never* a good idea for large amounts — you don’t control the keys, so it’s not really *your* bitcoin if it's there.
Go with a solid hardware wallet like a BitBox or Coldcard, and make sure to store the recovery phrase somewhere safe but accessible. Teach your wife how it works too — peace of mind is worth the small learning curve.

Re: Are we really using crypto as a currency... or just holding it like digital gold
Yeah, I feel this question. Most people I know treat crypto like an investment, not something to spend.
I used to get hype about the idea of buying coffee with Bitcoin back in the day
, but let’s be real — most of us are hodling. Why? Because it’s been going up over time, and spending it feels like burning cash. If I buy something with ETH today, I’m always thinking “what if this coin is worth more tomorrow?”
That said, I *would* spend crypto if it made sense. Like, if I got paid in stablecoins or had a card that automatically converted my crypto at checkout without fees or headaches. Or if there was actual cashback/rewards in crypto for spending it — that’d make me think twice.
So to answer your question directly:
Right now, I see crypto more as a store of value. But I could see myself using it regularly if the experience was smooth, practical, and actually benefited me more than just holding onto it.
Big fan of what you're building — we need more stuff like that to push things forward.
