I have a confession. While today I work to help people and organizations secure their bitcoin, in 2013 my security practices were abysmal. My passwords were terrible. Really awful, like 12345 and Abc123.

Or maybe I did but I just didn’t know it…| Empowered Law

IOLTA stands for Interest on Lawyer Trust Account and it’s a specific type of trust account where an attorney holds client funds (retainer), until the money is earned. Retainer is sometimes an ambiguous term. In this article, it me...| Empowered Law
“The bitcoin network is much more than a currency.” I’ve heard that over and over from bitcoin enthusiasts. So I decided to explore the technology from the perspective of an educator, entrepreneur, and attorney. My goal is to find ways to use the technology to reduce cost and risk to clients, increase autonomy in the legal process, and educate the community (including other lawyers) about what I find.
