In one of your responses, you indicate that you are a first year attorney and only 26 years old.

Have you encountered any issues with current or potential high net worth clients (such as those above estate tax exemption levels thus requiring more advanced planning) who have reservations about having such a new attorney handle their estate?

Not OP, but I am a lawyer with a similar background and I've written on/discussed Bitcoin from a business law perspective with some of my clients.

Financial planners and economists probably have more substantive insight than us lawyers, because the laws pertaining to virtual currencies specifically are so open-ended and/or non-existent at the moment. Nonetheless, it's a fascinating topic that is slowly beginning to crystallize through bits of case law and legislative murmuring.

Thanks for the quality responses in this AMA. Fellow attorney, roughly same age but I'm in a slightly different firm environment and only a portion of my practice is dedicated to T&E.

Apologies for tacking on another question here, but thoughts on getting the Tax LLM? It seems to be a hot topic for debate - in your estimation, has it been worth the investment of time/money for you?
