A recent post by XRP enthusiast BD (@DiepSanh) caught the attention of the community after he wrote, “When I die, the 24 recovery phrases of my XRP wallet will die with me. No one will inherit them.”
The statement garnered a wide range of responses, as many in the digital asset space found this decision unusual and selfish.
When asked if he planned to have children who might inherit his assets, BD responded that “life is better without kids.” He later defended his stance, saying he had every right to do what he wanted with his money.

Autonomy and Responsibility in Digital Ownership
BD’s comment raised questions about what happens to crypto holdings. In traditional finance, inheritance is structured and regulated, but self-custody wallets operate differently. Without shared recovery phrases, assets can become permanently inaccessible.
While BD saw this as a matter of personal freedom, others term lost coins as wasted value that could have contributed to causes or family inheritance. Investors have lost hundreds of millions of dollars over the years by losing their access codes, but BD plans to purposely destroy them and ensure no one can access his XRP.
BD’s defiance also drew support from some who agreed that financial independence includes the right to decide what happens to one’s holdings, even if that means they are never recovered.
XRP Community Reacts
Responses ranged from practical suggestions to moral criticism. Some users questioned whether the assets should be preserved for charitable or community purposes instead of being lost forever. Several users criticized BD’s refusal to consider others, calling it a selfish choice.

While BD’s stance is his right, it symbolized the challenges of crypto ownership, where complete control can sometimes lead to permanent loss. Some replies were interested in the potential permanent loss of these tokens, as they see it as a token burn and a reduction of supply.
Some replies found humor in the post, seeing it as a reflection of how strongly individuals guard their crypto assets. The post also drew input from recognizable figures in the XRP community, with Crypto Eri (@sentosumosaba), agreeing with BD’s stance and revealing plans to do the same thing.
While the post may have started as a personal declaration, it exposed a larger discussion, prompting many market participants to consider the outcome of their token holdings.
