If you hold cryptocurrency, a hardware wallet such as a Ledger is one of the safest ways to keep it. But setting one up correctly, moving funds onto it and protecting the recovery phrase can feel daunting, and mistakes can be costly. I’ll guide you through it in person, calmly and carefully.
Start with a discovery call. We’ll talk through what you hold and whether a hardware wallet is right for you. Every package is a fixed price, agreed up front.
Ledger setup
- Advise: I’ll recommend the right Ledger model and where to buy it. You buy it directly from Ledger’s official store, never second-hand or from a reseller, so it can’t have been tampered with.
- Set up: I’ll visit you at home to set up the device with you, install the Ledger app, make a small test transaction, and help you move your funds across, step by step.
- Protect: together we’ll plan how to store your recovery phrase safely for the long term, and you’ll get a short written summary of what was done.
Legacy planning
What happens to your crypto if something happens to you? Most people have never answered that question. I’ll help you plan who needs to know what, and where it’s documented, so your family isn’t locked out, without anyone else ever holding your recovery phrase.
My ground rules
- I never see, photograph or keep your recovery phrase. You write it down yourself while I look away. It stays with you alone.
- I don’t sell hardware. You buy directly from the manufacturer.
- I don’t give investment advice. My role is the technology: setting things up correctly and safely.
