Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about Bitcoin consulting in the Reno-Tahoe area.

Do you meet clients in person?

Yes — in-person consulting is the core of what I do. I am based in the Reno-Tahoe area and meet clients throughout Reno, Sparks, Carson City, and around Lake Tahoe, including Incline Village, Truckee, and South Lake Tahoe.

Why is Nevada a good place to hold Bitcoin?

Nevada has no state income tax and no state capital gains tax, so gains on a long-term Bitcoin position are only taxed at the federal level. Combined with blockchain-friendly legislation and a growing regional tech economy, Northern Nevada is one of the most Bitcoin-friendly places in the country.

What does a Bitcoin consultant actually do?

I help you own Bitcoin safely and deliberately: setting up hardware wallets and multi-sig custody, planning inheritance, optimizing for taxes with your CPA, structuring Bitcoin-backed loans, and providing honest education without hype. I never take custody of your Bitcoin and never sell investment products.

Is my Bitcoin safe on an exchange like Coinbase?

Exchanges are convenient for buying, but leaving Bitcoin there long-term means trusting a third party with your keys. Hacks, account freezes, and bankruptcies have cost holders billions. Self-custody with a properly configured hardware wallet removes that counterparty risk — and setting it up correctly is exactly what I help with.

How much does a consultation cost?

The first conversation is free. We discuss your situation and goals, and I outline where your setup stands and what I would fix. From there, engagements are scoped to what you actually need — one session for a custody setup, or ongoing advisory for larger strategies.
