[...]BTC has utility gold hasn't, like portability, absolute ownership (you can take BTC with you when you die) etc[...]

That's an interesting property of Bitcoin, that I never really thought about. It's true, you can die and take the keys with you, which is equivalent to making a donation to the Bitcoin community, equally distributed among all BTC holders. Nice!

I am actually actively thinking about it. Some people want to give it to their progeny, but I have serious doubts that mine would be able to do anything positive with it.
I will be making a first test: giving a fraction to one of my sons and then observe what he will do with it. Age-wise, it seems timely.
I already asked in the hypothetical and the answer was encouraging, but the real "practice' would show.

Yep, these sound like my struggles, too. Only one child of mine knows that i hold Bitcoin (not how many), but only asked on a few occasions about the price.
My other children don't even know about me being a Bitcoiner.
For me, i found out that it's not that important what they might do with the corn in the end, as long as it's not some evil shit or about the wrong type of drug(s).
I will try to teach them how to handle the corn to maintain a good life and still having enough reserves to reach those extra goals, but i will also tell them that it always feels better to do some work to achieve something, not to only "buy it".
(EDIT: Which could be quite a challenge, with all that ADHD in my family, that makes them gravitate towards impulse-purchases a lot...)

So many folks have discipline and self-organizational skills, yet sometimes they will grow out of it.. yet at the same time, if they believe that they have something coming or that they are entitled to something coming, then they might be disincentivized in terms of their own self-improvement efforts.

Sure, they are gaining skills over time, and their abilities actually also shift with age. But there was that other idea, please read on when i'm adding some detail to it, right below:

What i also thought about was transferring the corn to a notary as a custodian, who could release parts of the treasure to my children for a defined range of purposes, following a set of rules i would define.
Most Notaries would be Crypto Bitcoin-aware within the next decade, i guess.

That is like the creation of a Trust, which also does not necessarily work out and sometimes Trusts are broken (dissolved and/or with court permission) upon the death (or sometimes soon after the death) of the creator of the Trust.

Some kind of Trust, but including a little more complex conditions, like following a flow chart. So, for example, "Child 1" would get five BTC, like all other ones. If there are more than 2 BTC left after 4 years, (1) will get 5 more, otherwise only 2 more. After another four years, the same rules apply until my wallet(s) are empty, post mortem, or the notary outlives the children, when he finally puts the middle finger to the system and retires, enjoying his fuck-you-richness for the rest of his life, or his follow-up notary, if he doesn't have children himself. The BTC might eventually get lost or spent. Not many fucks given.

Could be an interesting proof of afterlife, sending the words via Ouija board.

No way I'm giving away my words, in this life or the afterlife! The Ouija can expect only 4 letters from my spirit: H, F, S, P. In that order.

Amazon accepting crypto (as the rumor mill suggests is coming) could be a big deal depending on how they do it… Bitcoin integration in Apple Pay would probably be the only thing bigger.

Aurora alert!  It's on now and visible mostly in northern latitudes.

edit: watching it in Maine, New York, Michigan, Ohio and even sighted a little east of Fort Wayne, Indiana
edit2 just saw a nice image from Bobcaygeon

edit3: If you cant see it where you are, here's a live stream of the aurora over Mt. Katahdin, Maine - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe2g_54uj_U

edit4: It's not really bright but I can make it out with the naked eye from here ~45N latitude (I might head north for darker skies) and I see reports from just east of Pittsburg PA

edit5: This is cool - auroras and lightning live!  Inkster ND - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdTM1WPivLs

The Ignore button.
That's the cure for your sickness.
Why don't you use it?

You call it cure, the simple door,
Just press it once and feel no more.
But hearts aren’t wired like machines,
We wrestle still with what it means.

The sting of words, they echo loud,
They chase me even through the crowd.
I try to hide, to walk away,
Yet in my mind those voices stay.

Ignore is hard, though truth it seems,
For noise invades my quiet dreams.
I wish it worked, a magic key,
But battles still keep haunting me.

not to complain but your poem is not a haiku

But as poems go it was decent

Here we can see neither aurora australis, nor borealis, is tropic here.
In the live video there is a guy in front under the tree with a flashlight there.

Spring is coiled boys. The pressure keeping it down cannot sustain the effort. Next ATH we move violently upward. Think $140k falls quickly, and falls this month.
