See if This Feels Like You

You’re here because Bitcoin is more than a trade—it’s the backbone of your family or business strategy. If these profiles resonate, Terence is likely the right collaborator.

Creative Leaders

Producers, Authors & Showrunners

You translate ideas into productions and royalties. Together we turn that flow into collaborative security so deadlines or travel never put your Bitcoin at risk.

Entrepreneurs & Founders

Liquidity & Treasury Events

You manage exits, recurring cash flow, and distributions. We align your treasury, tax, and custody plans so Bitcoin becomes the steadier part of the business.

Families & Family Offices

Inheritance Ready Vaults

You want heirs and executors to act confidently. We document roles, run walkthroughs when requested, and make sure no one freezes when they’re needed most.

Proof of Money book cover by Terence Michael

Proof Of Money · The Playbook

Paperback · May 2023 5.0 ★ · 50+ reviews Author · Terence Michael

This is the primer you hand to spouses, co-founders, or trustees before you meet with us. They’ll understand why Bitcoin matters, why custody has to be collaborative, and why you’re moving now—so your session can focus on execution instead of convincing.

  • Better Money. You’ll see why Bitcoin’s scarcity, programmability, and bearer nature outperform traditional instruments.
  • Freedom Tech. You recognise how a borderless, permissionless network unlocks opportunity for eight billion people.
  • Clean Energy. You learn how mining stabilises grids, captures waste methane, and uses stranded renewables.
  • Action Plan. You walk away ready to document operating steps that protect wealth for generations.

The Bitcoin Adviser Method

How You’ll Move Through The Work

You get a production-style playbook refined through collaborative security deployments worldwide—so every step is clear before we begin.

Step 1 · Invite

Your Bitcoin Adviser concierge issues the Theya wallet invite and shares prep work. Expect the email from no-reply@theya.us before your discovery call.

Step 2 · Keys Ready

Unbox your Trezor (or approved hardware signer) and confirm any iPhone you’d like to use as the optional Theya software key. We verify gear before session day.

Step 3 · Adviser Session

Work with Terence to configure the collaborative multisig vault inside Theya, define signer roles, and lock in the creative stakeholders who need access.

Step 4 · Fund Transfer

Execute exchange purchases or OTC trades, then sweep straight into the Theya wallet vault while Terence stays on the line to confirm every movement.

Step 5 · Estate Plan Protocol

Document your customised Estate Plan Protocol—contacts, contingencies, and production-ready checklists that keep heirs and business partners aligned. We’ll walk through the private completion guide together so executors know what to expect.

Step 6 · Family Orientation

Host optional orientations for next of kin or partners whenever you need them—no standing calendar required. We keep creative stakeholders confident without bloating your schedule.

FAQ

Common Questions

How do I involve my legal or tax team?

Invite them to the discovery call or follow-up workshops. Terence regularly coordinates with attorneys, CPAs, and trustees to align custody with regulation and estate plans.

What if I’m new to Bitcoin self-custody?

No problem. We’ll start with education, device deployment, and guided walkthroughs. The goal is confidence, not complexity.

Can Terence work with my existing multisig provider?

Yes. We support Casa, Unchained, collaborative vaults, and fully bespoke setups. Expect recommendations based on your region, value at risk, and operational capacity.

Do you offer ongoing support?

We provide recurring reviews, emergency drills, and upgrades as hardware, software, or family structures change. You’re not left to maintain the system alone.
