Bit-Sulting is the consulting practice of Rick Zabel — hands-on technology work from Bitcoin nodes to CNC machines, now focused on bringing local AI agents to small and mid-size businesses.
Bit-Sulting launched in 2014 around a single conviction: technology you can't verify is technology you don't control. We started deep in Bitcoin — teaching the protocol, standing up nodes, hardening wallets — because Bitcoin was the clearest example on earth of math replacing trust-me intermediaries.
Along the way the practice stayed deliberately broad and deliberately hands-on: business computer systems, network diagnostics, CNC and 3D printing, advanced composites and energy work. Software, hardware, hard work — the tagline isn't decoration.
Today the same conviction points at AI. Most businesses are being sold intelligence as a rental: your data leaves the building, per-seat fees never stop, and the model improves for someone else. We think small and mid-size businesses deserve what Bitcoin pioneers discovered first — run it yourself, verify it yourself, own it. That's why Bit-Sulting now deploys Hermes Agent locally for SMBs — agents with the skills, the memory, and the wallets to do real business.
Bit-Sulting — "bits" plus "consulting" — and #BetOnMath: sound math & cryptography protect the Bitcoin protocol. If you believe in math, then Bitcoin is true. The hashtag came first; the AI practice inherited the standard.
One call — discovery, honest scoping, no pressure.
