My guest on episode 466 of #thePOZcast is Chris Kline, the Co-Founder and COO of BitcoinIRA — the company that made history back in 2016 by launching the world’s first platform allowing investors to hold Bitcoin directly in their retirement accounts. Alongside his co-founders Johannes Haze and Camilo Concha, Chris helped pioneer an entirely new financial category. But his vision didn’t stop at Bitcoin. Under his leadership, BitcoinIRA expanded to include Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin, Ripple, and Bitcoin Cash — giving investors a diversified mix of digital assets within their retirement portfolios. Chris has played a key role in building the company’s secure, full-service experience — from designing the operational processes to forging strategic partnerships — all while keeping compliance at the core. That’s a big reason why BitcoinIRA is now seen as a trusted leader in the crypto retirement space. And when he’s not shaking up the future of finance, you can find him enjoying family time back home in Arizona. Chris Kline, co-founder and CEO of Bitcoin IRA, shares his insights on the evolution of cryptocurrency, the importance of financial literacy, and the future of digital assets in retirement planning. He discusses the challenges of explaining crypto to older generations, the significance of Bitcoin's scarcity, and the need for security in crypto investments. Chris also emphasizes the importance of dollar cost averaging, building a strong company culture, and defining success beyond monetary gains. We unpack his story and so much more! Listen up!
