I guide private clients through the complete process of buying Bitcoin and moving it into self-custody, step by step and in plain language. What I cover: Choosing a regulated exchange that fits the client's country and needs, completing KYC verification, funding the account by bank transfer, placing the first buy order, and selling back to fiat when needed. Setting up a hardware wallet from scratch: device initialization, seed phrase backup strategy, passphrase considerations, verifying the receive address, running a small test transaction before moving the full amount, and transferring funds back to an exchange when required. Compliance and documentation: explaining EU Travel Rule requirements for transfers to and from self-hosted wallets, self-declaration of wallet ownership, and keeping clean transaction records for tax purposes. Clients keep full control at all times. I never have access to their accounts, funds or seed phrase. My role is to explain each step, answer questions and review the setup before real money moves.
