What Happens to Your Bitcoin When You Die?

From an article by Zachary Crockett published in The Hustle web site:

“Earlier this year, Ryan Klein had a near-death experience.

“While cleaning out a gutter at his California home, the 32-year-old IT professional took a misstep and tumbled 10 feet off a ladder into a fortuitously placed wintergreen shrub.

“Sprawled out on the ground, gazing up at the cerulean sky, a terrifying thought crossed his mind.”

“I realized that my wife didn’t have access to my cryptocurrency,” he told The Hustle. “If I’d died that day, that money would’ve just disappeared.”
