“Between inflation, a crypto boom, and major advancements in the digital asset world, these are all factors that are forcing people to consider cryptocurrencies as we head into the new year. With key countries, institutions, and organizations across the world adopting digital assets in some form, Americans want to take part in a major shift happening in our economy,” said Chris Kline, co-founder and COO of Bitcoin IRA. “Crypto’s resilience and relevancy in 2022 will be driven by the runaway spending in Washington and an unstable dollar, as these coins offer an instrument of change to traditional fiat currencies run amok.”
