So since a will can be overruled by courts I have been thinking of ways to be absolutely certain that my kid gets my stuff when Im gone instead of greedy relatives. One idea is to buy cryptocurrency and put it in a wallet, then make a lullaby out of the mnemonic seed and sing it every night. I could maybe take a word out and put it in my will. Is there some way that could go wrong? Any better ideas?
Buy a bunch of gold, bury it somewhere and leave a map for you kid.
Bitcoin isn't a bad idea. It's about the same as burying gold. Your kid will pay HEFTY taxes and the IRS will know what actually happened. Which means all the money will be taken away. You have to do it legally.

Bitcoin is a horrible fucking idea. They don't have any way to control inflation / deflation. There is no telling where it will go in the future.

That's what they've been saying for years though right? The value only goes up because the algorithms to mine bitcoin get harder and harder right? I'm not saying it's the safest method but finding Oliver North's gold isn't out of the ball park either. You might just get your shit stolen.

Just transfer money to them slowly while you're alive. Offer to buy them things, help them with a house downpayment etc...
