About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of having a Bitcoin inheritance plan and the risks of not having one.
In this episode, I sit down with Dale Warburton, founder of My Bitcoin Will, to discuss one of the most overlooked topics in Bitcoin: What happens to your Bitcoin when you're no longer here? Very few have a plan for passing that Bitcoin on to the people they care about. We discuss the hidden risks of dying without a Bitcoin inheritance plan, why traditional estate planning often fails Bitcoiners, how privacy changes everything, and the simple steps every self-custodian should take to protect their family.
