Bitcoin might be the best holiday investment, according to Dr. Tonya M. Evans, a leading authority in copyright, trademark, financial technology, and technology law. “Crypto is a modern, versatile way to gift during the holidays,” says Dr. Evans, author of Digital Money Demystified. “It appeals to both crypto enthusiasts and newcomers seeking financial growth during the holiday season.” With approximately 28 percent of American credit-card users still paying off last year’s holiday debt, according to a recent NerdWallet spending report, individuals might consider spending their holiday money wisely and using cryptocurrency to buy gifts for their loved ones.

Dr. Evans is a tenured professor of law at Penn State Dickinson Law, and she has served on the Digital Currency Group board and chaired the MakerDAO Ecosystem Growth Foundation board. She developed the first blockchain, cryptocurrency, and law online certificate program in the world offered by a law school.
