My accountant just sent me text explaining to me how she has this client who has bought bitcoin through an investor, but this investor has now retired.

The investor gave his client all the information (password, login info) needed to retrieve his Bitcoin but he doesn’t know how.

My accountant has asked me to help retrieve it.

I’m wondering if I Should be charging a percentage of whatever he has or a flat fee? What would you guys do?

not sure i understand but i would not give my keys or passwords to anyone.

30% off the top is a fair rate imo

Be nice with fees. If you gonna be costly they'll spread words stock brokers are still cheaper.

I certainly want to be fair about it. If it was a friend I’d do it for free, but I don’t know this person, and my accountant has no idea how to do it, so I feel I should get something for my time.

if you were the person needing help and having no clue how to get at their BTC, what would you want and what would you think is fair? (be real, be that person, about those questions) hope that helps.

My initial thought was to just help this person out, but they were likely going to pay my accountant if she knew how. I do think it’s fair to be compensated for having the knowledge, but I’m not the type to take advantage of it.

I would most definitely pay somebody to retrieve my bitcoin for me if I didn’t know how.

sounds like you have it sorted then. conscience confirmed 👌🏼😇
