S11 Bonus: The $100M Retirement Mistake: Why Crypto Staking, Regulatory Shifts, and Old 401(k) Rollovers Are Rescuing the Next Generation of Wealth with Chris Kline, Co-Founder & COO of BitcoinIRA

Sep 25, 2025 · Season 11 · 22 min

Solving the retirement crisis with alternative assets

Chris Kline grew up in Aurora, Colorado, and went to school in Boulder to study finance and leadership. He has lived through several significant events that led him to take a risk, and spend some time in small business and entrepreneurship. And eventually, he took a leap of faith, sold everything he had, and flew to California. Outside of tech, he is married with a 12 year old daughter. He is fascinated by macro economics, and loves to dig into alternative assets like real estate and gold.

Chris started to get into crypto back when it was still in the fringes, and people didn't really know what Bitcoin was. Ten years later, his company is solving the retirement process with alternative, crypto assets.

This is the creation story of BitcoinIRA.
