The co-founder and COO of BitcoinIRA.com, the world’s first company allowing customers to purchase digital currencies for their IRA and 401(k) retirement accounts, regularly invests in Ethereum. “It’s good because its high-level language allows developers to create their own smart contracts on distributed autonomous networks.”

RIPPLE (XRP)

Ripple, says Kline, “espouses the goal of creating a financial transaction system free of restrictions, fees and processing delays that are commonly associated with traditional banks. Unlike Bitcoin, Ripple was designed to support the financial system worldwide.” Major banks and financial institutions are already using Ripple to make cross-bank and cross-border transactions with greater efficiency and security.
