Common questions

Do I need to know anything about crypto before our first session?

No. We start wherever you are—total beginner or already holding crypto. Our crypto advisory sessions are designed to meet you at your level of experience.

Will you tell me what to buy?

We don't give specific buy/sell recommendations. As a non-discretionary crypto wealth advisor, we provide education and frameworks so you can make your own informed decisions about digital asset allocation.

Do you charge based on assets managed?

No. Elkhorn Research charges flat fees for sessions or monthly advisory retainers. This conflict-free model means our only incentive is providing you the best crypto guidance possible.

What if I just have a quick question?

Book a one-time consultation. If you need ongoing crypto advisory support, we can discuss monthly retainer options tailored to your needs.

Do you work with wealth advisors too?

Yes—we have a separate crypto advisory offering for RIAs, family offices, and financial advisors. Learn more here
