How a Bitcoin Aware Advisor Can Help
A Bitcoin aware financial advisor can help you think through how digital assets interact with the rest of your financial life. This can include conversations about volatility, long-term conviction, tax treatment, retirement implications, and how Bitcoin relates to more traditional investments such as stocks, bonds, and real estate. While services vary by advisor and firm, the goal is usually to bring clarity, reduce blind spots, and align any Bitcoin exposure with your overall goals and risk tolerance.
