Natalie Brunell sits down with Clay Garrett, Bitkey Lead at Block, to break down the massive Coldcard hack — including how his team found clues that may help law enforcement identify who was behind the attack. Then we go inside Bitkey itself: how it works, why it doesn't use a traditional seed phrase, and how its 3-key security design is meant to make self-custody safer and easier for everyday Bitcoin owners. We also discuss: What the Coldcard hack can teach Bitcoin owners about keeping their savings safe  How Bitkey protects your Bitcoin without relying on a seed phrase  Why Bitkey uses three keys — and what happens if you lose your phone or the device (or both)  How inheritance works and how your Bitcoin can eventually be passed on to your family  If you own Bitcoin and have ever wondered how to keep it safe without making self-custody overly complicated, this episode is for you.

AI is the latest technology that will change the world. That doesn't mean every dollar poured into building it will pay off. Nearly $3 trillion is expected to be spent on data centers between 2025 and 2028, and roughly half of it is borrowed -- financed on the assumption that demand keeps exploding.

But last month he opened his cold storage set-up and found his Bitcoin gone. In this deeply personal episode of Coin Stories, Natalie Brunell sits down with the author and entrepreneur, one of the most affected victims of the Coldcard exploit — money he had set aside for his children. We discuss: The moment he found out and what he did right away Why three separate backups all failed for the exact same reason What the detectives told him about getting his Bitcoin back Why he expects no class action lawsuit is coming What he'd say to the founder of the company that lost his savings  Why he refuses to be angry about any of it Follow Jonathan Goodman on X: https://x.com/itscoachgoodman   ---- 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  ---- Borrow against your Bitcoin without selling it.

Michael Saylor and Phong Le sat down with Natalie Brunell to take questions directly from Strategy investors — including some pointed concerns about MSTR's sharp drawdown, dilution and whether common shareholders are still the company's top priority. One investor said he put $73,000 into MSTR for each of his three children, only to see each investment fall to roughly $20,000. He asked Saylor and Le directly: have common shareholders become Strategy's lowest priority? In this episode: Michael and Phong address dilution fears around $MSTR common stock  Are $MSTR buybacks are on the table, and under what conditions?

More than 1,700 bitcoins have been drained from Coldcard wallets belonging to people who did everything right when it comes to self-custody. Alex Thorn, Head of Firmwide Research at Galaxy Digital, has been tracing those coins on-chain since the second day of the attack, working directly with victims. He joins me with the fullest accounting of the hack that exists anywhere: how much was actually taken, where that Bitcoin is sitting right now, and what the people who took it have and haven't done with it since. In this episode: Where the stolen Bitcoin is sitting right now and how many waves of attacks there have been What Alex expects the hackers who took it to do next How could this seed generation flaw stay hidden for five years?

In a landscape where convenience is a weapon used by scammers and corporate giants, your choice of wallet is the only thing standing between financial sovereignty and total loss. Most people treat their crypto like a savings account at a bank; they trust the “brand,” they trust the “user-friendly” interface, and they trust the influencers telling them everything is fine. That trust is a death trap… Over 8,000 Bitcoin (BTC) investors recently watched their life savings vanish because of a lack of entropy in the random number generator for Coldcard, a popular hardware wallet. In plain English: the “random” numbers used to secure their keys weren't random at all. They were predictable. And when the keys are predictable, the hackers don't even have to work; they just walk through the front door. That's all by design… When you choose a wallet that sacrifices entropy for ease of use, you aren't buying convenience. You're buying a ticket to become a victim. Watch on: Odysee | YouTube | X | Rumble | Bitchute | Vigilante.tv Real security is a science, not a feeling. If your software isn't open-source and verifiable, you aren't practicing security; you're practicing faith. And in this game, faith gets you liquidated. But let's look deeper. Why are we being pushed toward these fragile systems? Because there is a concerted effort toward the hijacking of Bitcoin. There are serious allegations that interests linked to Jeffrey Epstein funded a shift in the narrative, turning BTC from a disruptive technical tool into a “store of value” religion. They want you to HODL. They want you in a cult-like echo chamber where “Maxi” influencers tell you the system is perfect as it is. This “ossification” lobotomizes the technology. It strips away the reality that Bitcoin is actually a Turing complete supercomputer and a truth machine capable of on-chain AI and total transparency. If you're just following the herd, you're the product… Don't trust. Verify. Even “air-gapped” hardware is no guarantee if the randomness behind your keys is broken. Verification, not brand loyalty, is what keeps you sovereign. The sovereign toolkit requires assets that are private-by-default and hardware that never touches the internet. That is the only way of thriving in an on-chain world where surveillance is the default setting. The Great Divide is happening here, too. On one side, the indoctrinated victims. On the other, the intelligent human nodes who own their keys and their minds. Which side are you on? Follow me on X @VamosVigilante Want to be on the pulse of crypto?

BIP 110 has divided the Bitcoin community more than anything I've covered in years, and a lot of the argument has played out as people shouting past each other online. Matt Kratter of Bitcoin University, one of the proposal's most vocal supporters, joins me to break down Bitcoin's civil war. Matt makes his case, I push back where I have questions, and we talk about why this debate has gotten as heated as it has.  In this episode: What BIP 110 would actually do, and why supporters say it would stop spam on the Bitcoin network What a chain split would look like, and Matt's honest answer on whether he expects one The arguments against BIP 110, including whether the data simply moves elsewhere Why the debate turned so personal, and what Matt says to people it's driven away ---- 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  ---- This episode is brought to you by our title sponsor, Ledn.

Parker Lewis, Head of Business Development at Zaprite and author of Gradually, Then Suddenly, has been one of the clearest writers on Bitcoin as money for years. Lately he's been vocal about the Bitcoin treasury companies and the yield products built on them. I wanted to hear him out, but I also pushed back — because I think there's a version of these products that brings in people who wouldn't otherwise be here. We didn't land in the same place, which is what makes it worth your time. In this episode: Why Parker says the simplest way to save in Bitcoin is to own Bitcoin His answer to something I hear constantly: that Bitcoin is too volatile for most people His take on Digital Credit and whether it can work as an on-ramp for people who aren't ready to hold Bitcoin directly What he'd hold instead: a little Bitcoin, and the rest in...cash??

The event. A firmware flaw in Coldcard seed generation, disclosed the night before, let an attacker recompute private keys outright. By airtime, 594 Bitcoin, put at roughly $38 million on the show, had been swept from about 500 wallets. The mechanism. Yan Pritzker and Swan engineer Steve: the device's true random number generator was present and working, but a March 2021 library change meant the firmware silently stopped using it, falling back to software randomness seeded from device ID and clock. Why five years passed. The code looked correctly wired, the failure hinged on a build-time variable, and the output still looked random. Zach Herbert of Foundation said a researcher flagged something adjacent in 2022 without unraveling it. Who is exposed. Only seeds the Coldcard generated itself. Imported seeds are safe, dice rolls are safe, a long passphrase saved people. MK3 is worst hit. MK4, MK5 and Q sit near 72 bits, costly to attack but not impossible. Updating firmware does not fix it. Coinkite patched, including MK3, but the vulnerable seed is the problem, not the device. You must generate a new seed and move funds. The dice function was never affected and has now been audited. Multisig is not automatically safe. If most keys came from affected devices, an attacker can try permutations, and spending publishes your public keys and invites an RBF race. Wicked pointed people to Portland.HODL for private broadcast through Slipstream. The attacker looks unsophisticated. The sweep ran roughly 25 minutes into a handful of addresses, stopped at shallow address gaps, and queried a public node instead of running one. Block researchers identified that service, so there may be a lead. The industry reckoning. American HODL called it a Paul Revere moment and demanded podcasters and former sponsors broadcast immediately. Reardon argued the industry spent three years arguing over the wrong priorities and got caught by an entropy bug. Self-custody versus diversification. Wicked held that multi-vendor multisig with your own entropy beats any custodian. Joe Carlasare countered that every system rests on assumptions that eventually fail. Yan declined to preach one model, calling self-custody still very early. Swan's status and the scam wave. Yan confirmed Swan Vault is built on Blockstream Jade and unaffected, and reported an influx of deposits. He flagged a devious scam variant where attackers send you working seed words and ask you to deposit into them.

Private equity has earned a reputation for loading companies with debt, cutting costs, and putting short-term returns ahead of the businesses themselves. But what if successful owners had another option? Nico Lechuga is a Bitcoin entrepreneur, a founding partner of Bitcoin venture capital firm Ego Death Capital, and co-founder of the newly launched holding company Orange Juice. He joins Coin Stories to explain a new model for acquiring profitable businesses, preserving what makes them valuable, and using their cash flow to build a Bitcoin treasury. In this episode: Why the private equity model can create destructive incentives for otherwise healthy businesses How Orange Juice hopes to offer owners an alternative when they are ready to step back or sell Why profitable "boring businesses" may be among the most overlooked assets in America How Bitcoin could become part of a long-term strategy for preserving and compounding business value What separates a real business opportunity from an idea that simply sounds exciting Follow Nico on X at https://x.com/nico_lechuga  ---- 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!

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 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.

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!

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!

Mentor Sessions Ep. 080: Fed Removes Forward Guidance, Bitcoin Cycles Break & AI's Real Impact | Joe Carlasare, American HODL & Dr. Jeff RossBitcoin may be bottoming right now — and Dr. Jeff Ross, American HODL, and Joe Carlasare just laid out exactly why. The Fed dropped forward guidance, MSTR has underperformed Bitcoin by 60%, and leverage is destroying portfolios. Here's the macro update you need to hear.In this episode you'll get Jeff Ross's case for why we're bumbling along a bear market bottom, Joe Carlasare's breakdown of the most impactful FOMC since the Bernanke era, and American HODL's blunt take on why leverage is not a time machine to being a Bitcoin OG. You'll also learn why Saylor's 32-BTC sale was a deliberate narrative violation, how three global currency blocs are forming around the dollar, gold-backed China, and Bitcoin, and what the rotation into hard assets means for the second half of 2026.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:32 - Joe on Fed Paradigm Shift and Dropping Guidance3:49 - Jeff Ross Don't Fight Fiscal Stimulus5:27 - Dollar Strength Risk-Off Impact on Bitcoin8:01 - American HODL on Fed Shocking Markets Upside14:39 - Greenspan-Style Fed Under Kevin Warsh for Bitcoin16:17 - Iran Geopolitics and Three-Bloc Currency World23:26 - US Economy Check Manufacturing Real Estate GDP29:37 - AI Jobs and Low Actual Usage Rates44:07 - Bitcoin Cycles Debate Case For and Against47:15 - 2026 Resembles 2022 Treasury Firms vs Exchanges55:30 - Michael Saylor MSTR Underperformance Narrative Shift1:00:22 - 32 BTC Sale as Test Transaction Explained1:05:16 - Leverage Not Shortcut to Bitcoin OG Status1:10:04 - Q4 2026 Hard Assets Rotation Bitcoin Outlook

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.

Welcome to Navigating Bitcoin's Noise, the show where we cut through the clutter and bring you the clearest insights on Bitcoin. I'm your host, Kane McGukin, and today I'm joined by Maryland Hodl, who is a Bitcoin researcher, transition analyst, and one of the sharper macro minds in this space. In this episode, we get into why Bitcoin's absolute scarcity is the only mechanism capable of absorbing the collapse of the debt-based monetary system, how the Fed-Treasury dynamic is quietly being restructured, and why the clock is ticking faster than most people realize with AI injecting deflation straight into the heart of a system. We dig into the sovereign flywheel, the collateral problem at the core of our debt spiral, and what a top-down Bitcoin pivot might actually look like. If you want a first-principles breakdown of where the monetary system is cracking, why Bitcoin's scarcity is the thesis that matters most right now, and how these two paradigm shifts, money and AI, are converging at exactly the same moment in history, this episode is for you. Fair warning, we jumped straight into the deep end on this one. No formal intro, no warm-up. We just started talking. So sit back, relax, and let's get started. Kane McGukinX: https://twitter.com/kanemcgukinSubstack: kanemcgukin.substack.com MarylandHODLX: https://x.com/MarylandHODL21Substack: https://marylandhodl.substack.com/

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.

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.

Strive ($ASST) just launched the first daily Bitcoin dividend in stock market history — paying a 13% yield through $SATA.    Chief Risk Officer Jeff Walton breaks down how Strive (now the 8th largest Bitcoin treasury company) is competing with Michael Saylor's Strategy, why he bet his entire savings on MSTR, and how digital credit is reshaping fixed income forever.   We discuss: • How Strive beat Strategy to the first-ever daily Bitcoin dividend • Where the 13% yield actually comes from (and why it's not a Ponzi) • The insurance industry analogy that explains Bitcoin treasury risk • Jeff's personal story: from the 2008 crash to his 2,000% MSTR options trade • Why traditional junk bonds and private credit are becoming obsolete   Follow Jeff Walton https://x.com/PunterJeff ---- 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.
