About

I’m Dany Fares, founder of Kleinod Consulting — a Bitcoin-focused advisory practice helping individuals and families understand, secure, and responsibly integrate Bitcoin into their lives.

Before founding Kleinod Consulting, I spent more than 10 years advising high-net-worth clients at one of North America’s largest financial institutions. Over time, it became clear to me that traditional finance was not prepared for the implications of Bitcoin — technologically, philosophically, or operationally.

Today, I work independently with clients who want more than market commentary or hype. My role is to help people develop a deep understanding of Bitcoin, implement robust security practices, and build long-term plans around self-custody, inheritance, privacy, and operational resilience.

What I help with

  • Bitcoin education and onboarding for individuals, families, and professionals
  • Secure self-custody: hardware wallets, mobile hygiene, nodes, and secure device practices
  • Wallet architecture: singlesig and multisig design, key distribution, backups, and recovery drills
  • Operational security: threat modeling, private networking/Tor, device hardening, and secure transaction workflows
  • Continuity planning: inheritance, succession, and documentation your heirs can realistically follow
  • Understanding the Bitcoin ecosystem: Lightning, Liquid, nodes, privacy tools, and evolving best practices

Why work with me

  • 10+ years serving high-net-worth clients with a calm, structured, and discreet approach
  • Ability to bridge the gap between traditional finance and Bitcoin-native technology
  • ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC)
  • Remote-first and privacy-focused

How I work

I provide personalized 1:1 consulting tailored to your technical comfort level, goals, and risk profile. Engagements are conducted remotely using privacy-conscious communication tools and security best practices.

I work with clients across Canada, the Eurozone, UAE and the UK.

Languages

English, French and Arabic
