I know a few people who put a huge stash into crypto because they don’t want their spouses to know about their money when they get married.

- ridgeguy 9y agoThis is another attempt at security by obscurity. Like others, it doesn't work. Open source (this time in the form of full disclosure and a prenup agreement) is the way to go.
- cryptoz 9y agoWhy are they marrying someone who they don't trust? That sounds like an awful state of affairs and likely those marriages will not last. Don't most wedding vows include a line about being honest? Yikes to those marriages.
- AznHisoka 9y agoYes and no. emotionally, its a bad idea. Rationally, it probably isnt an awful idea to hedge against a marriage not working out
- cryptoz 9y ago> Rationally, it probably isnt an awful idea to hedge against a marriage not working out That doesn't make sense. Rationally, hiding that money in secret is a reason that the marriage won't work out. Hide that money, tell lies, be a scheming and awful person, and there will be a self-fulfilling prophesy of that marriage not working out.
- AznHisoka 9y agoThat may be true but most marriages don’t work out and they are not self-fulfilling prophecies.
- joeblow9999 9y agoWhile true, that's not really the point of the parent comment.

- Feniks 9y agoYou can get married without sharing assets. In fact in my country this is now the default option. Everything you owned before marriage will remain yours.
