As COO of BitcoinIRA , Chris unpacks the growing retirement crisis in the U.S.—from financial illiteracy to outdated investment strategies—and shares how decentralized assets like Bitcoin are transforming the future of retirement. From building secure crypto IRAs to protecting intergenerational wealth, Chris delivers a data-driven, candid conversation on what it really takes to retire in today’s volatile world. Key Discussion Points Why the U.S. is facing a retirement crisis : 50% of Americans aren’t saving; a third fear they’ll outlive their money. The financial literacy gap : Why schools still teach the Pythagorean Theorem but not what an IRA is.

The rise of crypto IRAs : How BitcoinIRA pioneered the industry and now safeguards over $14B in assets.
