  Fred Thiel: Why Bitcoin Miners Are Pivoting to AI 23.07.2026 1ч 6мин

  What does the future of Bitcoin mining actually look like? This week, Fred Thiel joins Coin Stories for a candid, wide-ranging conversation. Fred runs MARA (formerly Marathon Digital Holdings), one of the biggest public Bitcoin miners in the world. We get into why so many miners are pivoting to AI, what it means for Bitcoin, and his honest, big-picture read on where Bitcoin fits as an asset — including why he says power, not chips, has become the most valuable resource in tech, and why that puts some miners in a surprisingly strong position. We discuss: Why Bitcoin miners are pivoting to AI — and what it means for the network Why Fred has put Bitcoin "in a different box" The story behind MARA selling 20,000 Bitcoin Where he sees Bitcoin's price versus its long-term value His candid take on whether Bitcoin ever becomes money The quantum computing threat to Bitcoin wallets Follow Fred Thiel on X: https://x.com/fgthiel ---- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  ---- Speed is my go-to Bitcoin Lightning wallet!

  David Hunter: Stocks Aren't Done Going Up, But the Big Crash Is Coming 17.07.2026 58мин

  David Hunter says stocks have another 30% of upside left — and then the biggest crash since 1929. This week the veteran contrarian returns with his most specific targets yet. David lays out the melt-up he's been calling for, the global bust he thinks follows it, and the staggering amount of money he believes central banks will have to print to dig us out. He also shares his gold and silver targets, and gives his honest (and bearish) read on Bitcoin. We discuss: His targets: S&P: 10,000, Nasdaq: 36,000, Dow: 70,000, Russell: 4,000 — and why he just raised them  Why he sees an 80% bear market coming, not a normal recession The $20 trillion the Fed may be forced to print Why 25% inflation could hit by the early 2030s Gold to $7,000, silver to $200 — then far higher next cycle His bearish Bitcoin call — and what would change his mind The one signal he watches to know the top is in Whether you agree with David or not, few people lay out a case this clearly.

  Julian Liniger: The Surprising Truth About Who's Buying Bitcoin 14.07.2026 32мин

  Who's really buying Bitcoin right now -- and why aren't more people paying attention? This week on Coin Stories, Natalie sits down with Julian Liniger, co-founder and CEO of Relai, Europe's leading Bitcoin-only exchange, live at BTC Prague. After onboarding more than 100,000 Europeans to Bitcoin, Julian has a rare, ground-level view of who's actually buying — and it's not who you'd expect. He shares what his data reveals about everyday people turning to Bitcoin, why European savers feel squeezed, why retail interest has gone quiet, and where he thinks the price goes from here. We discuss: The surprising kind of person quietly buying the most Bitcoin in Europe The one thing that always brings retail buyers rushing back Why Julian thinks the worst is behind us in this bear market— and how high he sees Bitcoin going next The mindset that keeps people "too late" to Bitcoin, over and over Julian's plan to turn a Bitcoin app into a billion-dollar public company ---- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  ---- Speed is my go-to Bitcoin Lightning wallet!

  Lyn Alden: Bitcoin's Next Move, Strategy's STRC Volatility & the Protocol Debate 07.07.2026 59мин

  Has Bitcoin finally hit bottom? This week, one of the most trusted names in macro gives her honest read on where we are — and where we go from here. Lyn Alden returns to cut through the noise: why hard assets like Bitcoin and gold have been left behind, and why she says no rescue is coming — Bitcoin has to prove itself on its own. She also breaks down the volatility around Strategy's digital credit and the protocol fight dividing the Bitcoin community. We discuss: Whether Bitcoin has hit its floor — and the lowest sentiment Lyn's ever seen Why Bitcoin proxies and leveraged products can't replace real, self-custodied Bitcoin What actually happened with Strategy's $STRC — and how worried holders should be Her grounded take on the protocol wars, and why the "existential threat" talk is overblown Why the big money print everyone's waiting for still isn't coming Follow Lyn Alden on X (@LynAldenContact) and at lynalden.com —— Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  —— Speed is my go-to Bitcoin Lightning wallet!

  The Best of Bitcoin: Highlights From Our Most-Watched Shows with Saylor, Macgregor, Webb, Booth 24.06.2026 37мин

  Four of the biggest voices in Bitcoin — Michael Saylor, Whitney Webb, Jeff Booth, and Col. Douglas Macgregor — in one episode. We went back through the most-watched, most-shared moments from the show and built them into a single story: what's broken with the money, why Bitcoin fixes it, and what you can actually do about it. In about 35 minutes you'll hear the clearest case for why the system feels rigged, why these four believe Bitcoin is the way out, and the one line Saylor leaves you with: Bitcoin will win — but not everyone wins with it. Topics: Why Jeff Booth says we've never actually lived in a free market Michael Saylor on why Bitcoin is "the best asset, with no second best" How broken money quietly concentrates wealth at the very top Whitney Webb on digital ID, programmable money, and how to opt out Why no politician or billionaire is coming to save you The mindset shift that turns doom into building something better ----- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  --- Coin Stories is powered by Gemini.

  Michael Saylor: Answering the Critics on mNAV, Bitcoin Per Share, and the Path to $1 Million 16.06.2026 52мин

  Natalie Brunell sits down with Strategy's Michael Saylor at BTC Prague, just after he took heat for selling 32 Bitcoin — and for recent comments defending how he measures the company's growth and what its stock is really worth. Saylor answers the critics and short sellers head-on, explaining why "never sell your Bitcoin" is advice for everyday holders, no longer a rule for a company built to buy Bitcoin and pay out Bitcoin-backed dividends. We discuss: Why "never sell your Bitcoin" is advice for individual retail investors How the company is built to survive a crash Why he argues Bitcoin needs credit to keep winning The four ideologies of Bitcoin When he expects capital to rotate back from AI into Bitcoin Follow Michael Saylor on X https://x.com/saylor ---- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  --- Coin Stories is powered by Gemini.

  Luke Gromen: Why Tech Stocks are Outperforming Bitcoin - But This Macro Shift Will End It 05.06.2026 54мин

  Don't let the stock market highs fool you. Macro analyst Luke Gromen, founder of FFTT, returns to deliver a brutal reality check on what is actually happening to your money. While mainstream media celebrates green days, a hidden liquidity crisis is building behind the scenes. In this episode, Gromen exposes the massive distortion in today's markets—the seven tech stocks holding up the entire economy and why Bitcoin has fallen so far behind as stocks hit ATHs. If you want to protect your portfolio from the ultimate "sudden stop," this is the realist roadmap you cannot afford to miss. We discuss: The AI Liquidity Trap: Why soaring tech stocks are secretly starving Bitcoin of cash. The S&P 500 Illusion: How just seven AI stocks are masking a massive market flatline. The Bitcoin Bottom: Why technical indicators point to a potential correction down to $40K. The Tech Bubble Trap: Why the government is mathematically forced to keep the AI bubble alive.
