BTC cold storage for generations

The Greek Chain

Prologue

The Greek Chain was created by Flemming 'Tiler' Nielsen in the fall of 2024 in Aarhus, Denmark.

The inspiration for this work came about partly due to a recent loss in immediate family, which sparked the thought process - what do we actually leave behind when our time is up?

The guide that you have before you is a free, simple method to transfer cryptographic keys to your relatives all the way into the next century, through the will and dedication of your own family.

There are no trademarks, copyrights or patents invoked in the Greek Chain.

This method is by no means an alternative to traditional heritage planning. You should still do that.

It's a supplement designed to give all your descendants a positive financial windfall, just as they are starting to get established with their adult lives.

The Greek Chain is not financial advice either. It is merely cold storage with extra steps.

It is not possible to lose bitcoin or codes by enabling a Greek Chain.

Always stay vigilant and responsible when handling your codes/keys.

Never share your codes/keys with anyone not related to you.

Motivation link

Lets get real for starters.

Honestly - if you are struggling to make ends meet, or barely getting by month to month, a Greek Chain is not the way.

A Greek Chain established under these circumstances will most likely be liquified by yourself at the next crisis, or by an unexpected expenditure.

It will only leave a trail of regret and sour feelings of shortcomings.

I advice you to take care of yourself and your immediate family instead.

Working on improving your general health will probably be the best investment with the highest return longterm, in my humble experience.

But why should anyone make themselves a Greek Chain?

Creating your own Greek Chain, simply gives you, and your family access to start funding your future grand childrens shared bitcoin wallets.

If you find yourself in a good place financially and there is plenty of headroom to start thinking longterm for your family - then the Greek Chain can provide a solid solution on how to benefit the next 4 generations - with the fastest growing asset ever known to man.

The potential for building true generational wealth with the diminishing supply of BTC, heavily outweighs the risks.

You may choose to become the first generation of this digital odessey.

Some will call this a vanity project - a striving for legacy, or just an attempt not to be forgotten in the echoes of time.

Others, like myself will argue - that if you have the knowledge and the opportunity - you may also own the responsibility of improving the lives of your descendants.

Especially since it requires so relatively little effort on your behalf, to make a real life-altering difference down the line.

No matter who you are or what you do - You are also just another link in a very very long generational chain.

Following below is the links that your grandchildren will one day open and read in the future - should you decide to create your familys own personal Greek Chain.

Introduction link

You have now opened the Greek Chain that contains part of the private key code to your generation’s bitcoin inheritance.

It is your privilege and responsibility, together with the three other Greek Chain holders, to meet up, unlock, and then distribute the bitcoin that has been collected and saved here by your ancestors.

It is important that you come to this meeting prepared, focused, and well-rested.

Please keep in mind. You are selected to be the distributors of the funds.

You are not the judges.

Everybody gets the same cut. Even the black sheeps in your family.

Be mindful. One simple typing error can have fatal consequences for the transfers.

Before the meeting, obtain a hardware wallet and familiarize yourself with how it works.

Also collect the names and wallet addresses of all the beneficiaries of your generation.

Make sure to get this point right.

Any trustworthy hardware wallet that accepts 24-word phrase codes can be used.

Buy it directly from the manufacturer’s website for increased security.

The 23 keywords can be assembled from the 4 letters when you all meet.

The 24th secret keyword must be obtained from a previous generation, so remember to ask them.

Otherwise you'll have to brute force your way in, by utilizing the words of the BIP39 protocol.

Never ever share the codes or keywords with anyone outside your immediate family.

You may think of yourself as the direct descendant of your great-great-grandparents — and you’d be absolutely right.

But what you may not have considered is that out there somewhere, there are relatives you’ve never met - perhaps never even heard of - who feels exactly the same. And they’re just as right.

That’s why the contact list matters: it helps your descendants keep track of all the rightful heirs.

The first thing to do, is to get hold of 12 solid envelopes, size A4 or letter format.

Draw a scheme on the front of each envelope with three columns :

Date of birth, Name and Contact-info

Fill in your own personal information in the first row, your spouse in the next and then your childrens in the following rows

Instruct your children to keep the contact list updated onwards

The back of the envelopes is reserved for 3 QR codes for each generations wallet, so that further funds can be added over time.

These envelopes will hold the entire Greek Chain for your family, so keep them safe

Creation link

Get access to a laserprinter, a laminator, a label printer, four large fireproof envelopes, and a hardware wallet.

Use the wallet’s interface to generate a 24-word key phrase. Write these down accurately on paper.

Avoid any internet connection or use of cameras during this step.

Save the recipient QR code via the wallet's app browser as an image file on your computer.

Mark carefully which QR belongs to which generations wallet.

Reset the hardware wallet via the browser after both tasks are triple-checked.

Choose and encircle a secret shared keyword by generating new key phrases until one of the words matches a previously generated keyword.

Once found, repeat the process to generate a third and final 24-word key, which also contains the shared keyword.

This might take some time—BIP39 includes 2048 words, and you only get 24 per attempt. Be patient and persistent —it will work.

You now have three 24 word key phrases with 3 identical encircled secret words in each - and three QR codes, representing the 3rd., 4th., and 5th. generations wallets.

Print 3 x 4 pages with numbered form fields for each of the 24 words.

Mark each of the three 4 piece set with their designated generation :

The Third, the Fourth & the Fifth

Name the 4 form fields as below :

SIGMA, ALPHA, THETA & OMEGA

Distribute the key words in the form fields as follows :

SIGMA : 1 to 8 and 13 to 16

ALPHA : 5 to 12 and 17 to 20

THETA : 9 to 16 and 21 to 24

OMEGA : 1 to 4 and 17 to 24

This distribution ensures that any three of the four envelopes are sufficient enough to gain access to the bitcoin,

in the rare case, one envelope is lost.

Instruct your descendants to swiftly help recreate a lost envelope with the remaining Greek Chain letters, for higher security and durability.

Handwrite the keywords in their designated form fields and add text-labels for extra security.

The secret shared keyword must never be written down—it should be passed on orally to future generations. Mark its blank field with a question mark ( ? ).

Write a letter to your descendants. Include all instructions after laminating these for protection.

Now transfer a suitable amount of bitcoin towards each wallet’s QR code.

A friendly suggestion is to add just 1 percent of your bitcoin holdings for each of the three wallets, for starters.

It's a relatively manageable amount - and you can always add more as you get older, through the use of the QR.

Destroy and dispose all notes and key codes, so that they wont fall into the wrong hands.

Place all the envelopes in fireproof covers along with hardware wallets and ensure sufficient protection of these - ideally in secure vaults, accessible only to trusted family members.

Distribution link

Dear grandchildren

This letter addresses the distribution of your bitcoin inheritance.

1 % shall cover all transfer fees and the purchase of hardware wallets for every beneficiary. Transfer this amount to a separate wallet for expenditures. Whatever is left must be spend on organizing parties and gatherings for your family and friends.

33 % shall be transferred to your previous generation’s shared wallet.

If there are adopted or stepchildren to be considered, the funds must come from this wallet. The same applies to any younger siblings born later.

The rest of the amount can be managed unconditionally by the previous generation as they see fit.

66 % shall be distributed equally and fairly among all direct descendants in your generation.

We trust each of you, to manage these funds exactly as you see fit.

We also want you to consider whether at some point - you yourself would like to start your own branch of the Greek Chain, for the benefit of future generations, using some of the funds here.

This is entirely your decision to make.

To mitigate legal ramifications, seek qualified financial & tax advice from professionals.

Consult an accountant or a lawyer specialized in crypto.

If conditions are not favorable for handling bitcoin in your time, then keep them secure instead, and consider passing them on to the next generation using the QR codes attached.

Be aware that this action is irreversible, so choose wisely.

Inspiration link

Dear grandchild

Today we have set aside some funds for you, future generations, in the hope that they can make a positive difference for you and your family.

You are reading this letter because you have been chosen to distribute your generation's bitcoin.

This is a huge responsibility, but we trust that you will carry out this entrusted assignment, fairly and properly.

Inside the envelope is an overview of what is expected of you, as the custodian of your generation's share.

Please be discreet about the contents of these envelopes with outsiders.

Perhaps you might also consider starting your own bitcoin legacy to benefit future generations.

In the envelope, you will also find the guide to the Greek Chain

A little about us:

Rhea, you grandmother works as a public school teacher at the local school and she was recently elected union representative by her colleagues. In her sparetime she loves to knit and to bingewatch TV-shows.

I run a tiling and masonry company, focusing on tile work and house repairs in the southside of our city.

Together, we have two wonderful children that you already know, Hera and Chronos.

We have all lived together in the small house on Poseidon Street with all its ups and downs through the years.

It’s been a good and fairly typical middle-class life, which was a small step up the social ladder from our previous generations, who all belonged to either the working or the farming class.

We are among the last generation who were born before cryptocurrency emerged, with the introduction of bitcoin in 2009. In fact ,most of both Rhea and my own youth took place without any access to cellphones, streaming, or the internet. That kind of life also has its own charm.

We hope and wish for all of you to have a long and prosperous life.

Hopefully full of success and experiences, and most importantly - with a whole lotta love.

Be excellent to each other.

Instruction link

This letter is a checklist of the things that you will have to remind future recipients of the letters about.

It is mostly just common sense.

Most importantly it must be emphasized that the letters must be kept safe. It is advisable to let the oldest family-members keep them in custody for as long as possible. The next generation must be made aware how to access and store the letters in the case of emergencies.

In the best case scenario, it will be only you - and then later, your mature grandchildren - who safeguards the Greek Chain letters, on behalf of all of your descendants.

The chosen secret passphrase word must be passed to the next generation in due time.

It is extremely important to remain vigilant about any disruptions to the 24 seed-phrase protocol of BTC.

Such an event will undoubtedly be featured on every major news outlet.

Any necessary technical update must be implemented as quickly as possible to all the letters, by every Greek Chain holder in tight coordination with each other.

In the case of some confiscation, armed robbery or an unfortunate divorce, instruct your decendants never to fight over their letters.

It is much wiser and safer to simply hand over the 1/4 of a Greek Chain to whoever demands it.

It will be completely worthless without the remaining codes which, of course is in their cousins possession.

The cousins are not obliged to hand over anything.

When the dust settles, the missing letters can easily be restored again with your relatives assistance.

Remember to add every newborn family member to all the contact lists of the Greek Chain.

At all times, remain discreet about financial issues to any outsiders.

Epilogue

You’ve reached the end of the chain.

I hope The Greek Chain has offered some food for thought about the things that truly matter - family values, future prospects, and the potential of bitcoin as a store and multiplier of value.

As you may have noticed, the Greek Chain is not a complicated tool.

It is rather simple and straightforward, and this is intentional. Descendants shall be able to gather and unlock a Greek Chain with ease, using simple logic - and a hardware wallet.

For my part, it’s been a genuine pleasure exploring the deeper meaning of life and death, and our own minute place in this eternal universe.

If you find that the Greek Chain can provide value to your own life and family, please take on this method to become the first generation in a long line of financially independent and prosperous descendants.

I would consider it an honour to help your family as well.

Please share www.thegreekchain.info with any relatives of yours who may take an interest in multi-generational wealth building.

My best wishes to you and your family.
