Do you need help protecting your cryptocurrency? Hardware wallets are one of the most secure and private wallets available to the individual user. I can help you select, setup and safely move your cryptocurrency from insecure exchanges or web wallets to a hardware wallet. Mobile wallets are also a key element in becoming self sovereign; however, they are less secure than a hardware or multi-sig wallet. There is a place for mobile wallets and I will assist you to choose one that fits your needs and to understand how you should use a mobile wallet to reduce risk while still giving you the flexibility of having access to some of your crypto from your iOS mobile device. Have an Ethereum transaction that won't complete and is blocking your other transactions? I can show you how to cancel the stuck transaction.

Would you like to purchase or trade cryptocurrency on centralized exchanges such as Coinbase, Binance.US, BitStamp, Bittrex, Gemini, Uphold and many others? I can help you get set up to buy and trade crypto currency and secure the crypto you buy in a hardware wallet such as Trezor or Ledger Nano. Once set up, I will show you how to use the exchange's web interface and mobile app, how to link your bank account to a centralized exchange and transfer and withdraw funds to/from the exchange.

Interested in using decentralized exchanges such as UniSwap, 1inch or LinkSwap. I have extensive experience using these and other decentralized exchanges, connecting your Web3 wallet (Metamask, Coinbase Wallet) and making trades which may involve slippage. I mention slippage because it is unique to decentralized exchanges and should be understood before making trades on these exchanges. Would you like to put your cryptocurrency to work earning a passive income? I can help you provide liquidity on Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) such as Uniswap and LikSwap to earn rewards and a portion of the exchange's fees. I will also show you how to mint Liquidity Provider tokens to stake on farms to earn yield in the form of the staked tokens. I've been a Liquidity Provider on Uniswap for multiple cryptocurrency pairs, have successfully farmed multiple yield farms such as Neko and Gameswap and will explain impermanent loss so you can avoid the costly mistakes I've made.

Are you trying to set up CoinTracking to simplify your Cryptocurrency taxes? It's not as easy as you might think, but I've been through it and can help you get it right. I have imported, reconciled and produced tax reports for six years of cryptocurrency investing and ownership encompassing everything from investing in ICO's, obtaining cryptocurrency from hard forks and airdrops, mining, giving and receiving cryptocurrency as gifts, receiving cryptocurrency as income, interesting, providing liquidity and yield farming and of course, buying, selling, transferring and swapping cryptocurrency. I know how to import data for these types of transactions from multiple exchanges (centralized and decentralized) and all types of wallets whether enabled by API or by importing a CSV file. I cannot provide tax advice as I am not a CPA, but I can assist you in getting all of your information into CoinTracking to produce the tax reports needed to file your taxes.
