Gary "Gaz" Larking is one of our advisers based in Queensland, Australia.
When you work with The Bitcoin Adviser you have a personal 1-1 relationship with YOUR adviser. They all have a bio, to help you decide who you think is a good fit for you. Different clients make this choice in different ways. Some like to understand their background, some like the focus on privacy and others just like to speak to the one that's based nearest to them.
We're not here to tell you how to make this decision. Just like Bitcoin, we're here to give you the information you need and allow you to make the decision that's right for you.
However a bio can only do so much, and we wanted to share a couple of very personal reviews that we recently received. Our sincere thanks to Laura and Kylie for taking the time to do this. We're not surprised but are delighted to hear such positive feedback about Gaz.
As a 52-year-old woman I decided during the COVID-19 pandemic to take full control of my financial future. I spent countless hours educating myself about Bitcoin whenever I could, investing and riding out the highs and lows with unwavering conviction. Over time I realised I could be doing more with my personal bitcoin but more importantly integrating Bitcoin into my superannuation. That’s when the real challenges begin.
I had a numerous barriers within the traditional industry superfunds who has no interest and are also restricted due to regulations. I consulted a few financial advisors but they dismissed my ideas. One even scoffed saying Bitcoin didn’t align with their values so neither did I as a client. I was deeply unhappy with the lack of service from my existing super provider and knew there had to be a better path forward more importantly I needed an expert who would listen and guide me through setting up a self managed super fund (SMSF) for bitcoin investments and help secure my assets in cold storage for long term piece of mind.
I’m not sure how I discovered Gary and The Bitcoin Adviser, but I’m eternally grateful I did. I was also happy to know they were an Australian-based company. Gary was welcoming from my very first call in our initial meeting. I braced myself to be brushed off due to my superannuation balance and novice level knowledge of cold storage, SMSF and Bitcoin. Instead, Gary proved to be incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and transparent from the get go.
He dedicated all the time I needed to coordinate the entire set up patiently addressing roadblocks and filling in my knowledge gaps, especially given my appalling IT skills.
Throughout the process Gary remained calm, reassuring and always infused with good humour making what could’ve been overwhelming feel manageable and empowering. Gary’s expertise in bitcoin and cold storage has protected me against risks allowing me to focus on growth rather than worry.
I cannot recommend Gary and The Bitcoin Adviser highly enough. If you’re a woman looking to take charge for financial destiny or anyone just starting this journey - trust me: if I can do it so can you . For those eager to learn more about Bitcoin, securing your future through SMSF and implementing cold storage reach out to The Bitcoin Adviser today.
Speak with Gary or the team you won’t regret it.

OK - I am not a ‘big player’ here - just a regular girl who had to take a check on my future with the unexpected passing of my partner.
Fortunately, his keen interest in BTC left me with a basic interest to pursue this asset as an investment pathway, and while I was readily able to and relatively confident about holding BTC in a cold wallet, I was ultimately concerned about safe long-term storage and where it could end up if there were no recovery mechanisms in place should something unexpected happen to me.
Added to this, the ‘set and forget’ mindset I maintained towards my relatively small superannuation total managed by a major fund had to change – and change dramatically – once I took stock of an annual statement and was aghast at the poor annual return.
I thought about setting up my own SMSF but was advised by the SMSF specialist at my accountant’s firm that it would not be worth my while to do so – and this was most probably prudent advice if my annual returns were to maintain the status quo.
Through my research I learnt of the services of The Bitcoin Adviser and thought it would be a perfect avenue to ensure peace of mind for me and fit in with my long-term investment goals for significant growth.
I selected and reached out to Gaz Larking for a discussion, explaining my situation and thinking that my investment might be too small for the company’s interests. Gaz was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, balanced and supportive and made the process of setting up an SMSF and personal account with The Bitcoin Adviser so simple.
The only time delay challenges were eliciting my money from the superfund and dealing with a new bank’s security system to purchase BTC, however, once the process was established, I have enjoyed the peace of mind that my BTC is safe and secure, and enjoyed watching my initial investment grossly outperform the returns I had been achieving from the industry fund in a very short period.
The education and resources offered by the company, in addition to the genuine conviction, passion and depth of knowledge imparted by Peter Dunworth are outstanding.
Gaz is great – he is readily available should I have any questions, but importantly, he is proactive. It is in Gaz, The Bitcoin Adviser and ultimately BTC that I thank and trust!
