Has anyone solved the problem of secure inheritance planning for Bitcoin for the multitude of hodlers whose heirs don’t possess the technical knowledge (or the motivation to acquire it) that would permit them to initiate on chain transactions using the PINS, hardware and seed plates that get left behind? I see a lot of coins disappearing into the void in the next 3 decades. And a demand for honest consultants that won’t rug people completely or siphon funds to a degree when they’re asked to help liquidate a late hodler’s stack, or at least a portion of it for final expenses. Every time I think about my eventual end, I picture that scene from 2001 a Space Odyssey where the apes are gathered around the monolith. That’ll be my family looking at my PC, phone, hardware wallets, SD card readers and seed plates when I die.

Much in the same way you can lead a horse to water but not make it drink, the motivation to learn the basics of interacting with Bitcoin must come from within. It cannot be imposed with any hope of it being retained.
