  Yes, you can use a SEP IRA to invest in cryptocurrencies in 2016. However, there are certain rules and regulations that you need to be aware of. The IRS considers cryptocurrencies as property for tax purposes, so any gains or losses from cryptocurrency investments within a SEP IRA are subject to the same tax rules as other types of property. It's important to keep accurate records of your cryptocurrency transactions and report them properly on your tax returns.

  Investing in cryptocurrencies using a SEP IRA can be a great way to diversify your retirement portfolio. However, it's important to understand the rules and regulations that apply. The IRS requires that all investments within a SEP IRA be made through a qualified custodian, so you'll need to find a custodian that allows cryptocurrency investments. Additionally, there may be restrictions on the types of cryptocurrencies you can invest in, so it's important to do your research and consult with a financial advisor.
