Natalie Brunell sits down with her #1 guest, retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor, to unpack an uncomfortable reality: America's national security depends on supply chains tied to China. Decades of money printing and financialization helped create billionaires and politically connected elites while hollowing out the industrial base we'd need in a real crisis. Topics:  Is GOLD the new reserve currency instead of the U.S. Dollar? How reliant the U.S. military and defense industry is on China The reason the U.S. went into Venezuela Why Macgregor sold his bitcoin and thinks he'll be able to buy back at lower prices The "financial armageddon" he believes is coming—and what breaks first Follow Col.

On today's episode, we discuss a grab‑bag of emerging tech, from “photonic” AI chips that compute with light instead of electricity to world‑model AI that lets robots and self‑driving cars navigate in rich 3D environments more like humans do. The crew digs into Tesla's push to remove safety drivers from robotaxis, Waymo's 10‑million autonomous rides, Rivian's lower‑cost self‑drive ambitions, and a future where humanoid household robots clean stairs, fold laundry, and eventually build more robots. They also explore biometric security based on heartbeats, 3D‑printed human hearts grown from fat cells, and underwater and aerial military drones that quietly redraw the map of modern warfare. Finally, they tackle AI's “hallucinations” that send patrons asking librarians for nonexistent books, smart TVs and gadgets that spy for ad data, and how Trump's Christmas “1776” bonus for service members might best be invested in Bitcoin or Ethereum for young soldiers learning to “HODL.” Don't miss it!

A new wealth class is forming, and it's made up of Bitcoiners. Natalie Brunell sat down with Matthew McClintock, head of The Bespoke Group, a multi-family office advising entrepreneurs and affluent families, to unpack what happens after Bitcoin changes your life: legacy, strategy, and the deeper question of purpose. We discuss:  How much Bitcoin could qualify as "generational wealth" - is 1 bitcoin enough?

In this episode of Coin Stories, Natalie Brunell sits down with Keonne Rodriguez, CEO of Samourai Wallet, for a wide-ranging — and tough — conversation ahead of Keonne beginning a five-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to operate a money transmitting business while knowing the business transmitted criminal proceeds. Natalie asks Keonne on the government's case, including prosecutors' claims that Samourai's coin-mixing tools amounted to "money laundering," and allegations that he encouraged criminals to use the platform. Keonne responds with his philosophical and practical defense of financial privacy, the distinction between self-custody and the traditional banking system, and what's at stake if privacy tools are effectively outlawed. We discuss: Why financial privacy is a human right — and where the line is drawn Bitcoin self-custody vs surveillance finance What coin mixing is, and why prosecutors call it "money laundering" The allegations that Samourai facilitated or encouraged illicit activity What the loss of privacy means for freedom in a digital world Petition: https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools  ---- 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.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comI don't mean to get all bearish on you.Bearish copy - it's all going down, it's going to crash - gets more eyeballs than “everything's fine”. Bearish commentators usually have bigger followings. Bad news sells.But bears are usually wrong. They've predicted 13 of the last two corrections.The fact is, as human beings progress and economies grow, markets tend to rise. This is doubly so when the underlying unit of account - the pound, the euro, the dollar - is being systematically debased. (Which makes the underperformance of the FTSE these last 25 years even more incredible by the way). Stock markets, especially in the US, have become places to park capital, where you can reduce erosion by inflation.So that's my disclaimer out of the way.I'm feeling bearishWe'll start with bitcoin. It's a leading indicator for the Nasdaq and tech. It's sold off - from $125,000 in early October to $90,000 a coin on Monday. Remember: I targeted $90,000 a coin a few weeks back.The crypto summer was muted, so we can expect this crypto winter to be similarly muted - no 90% corrections in other words. But we are almost 30% down already.Strip out the noise and HODL is my advice. That's what I'm doing. There has been no better investment strategy over the last 15 years and I'm sticking with it. But a crypto winter is upon us, it seems. Let's hope it's a mild one.Here's the chart. Look at the 50 day moving average in red. This is the third time in since 2024 that we have been in this situation.One correction lasted most of 2024 - well, March to October - the other took up the first five months of this year. They passed.Also worth noting is how each correction seems to have three spikes down - three drives to the bottom. This time around we have only had one, so maybe a couple more to go. That is not a prediction by the way: just an observation.The corrections in gold and silver have been more muted. But I have to say the silver chart concerns me. Double top or what?I thought the October correction would go deeper than it did, but it held up at the 50 day moving average (red line). That's a sign of strength. This rebound rally, dead cat bounce - whatever you want to call it - has taken us right back to the old highs, while gold and the S&P500 both made lower highs. That is also a sign of relative strength.But the second high was not confirmed by the silver miners, that is not good. And now we have a double top on our hands, until we don't.I would think we have one more leg down to get through plus some sideways consolidation to digest the gains of earlier this year. Here is gold, FYI, which has conspicuously made a lower high. This one might want to go into the $3 thousands for a bit.The stock market has this ridiculous Nvidia situation to get through. $4.4 trillion market cap - and that's after the recent pullback. 40 stocks account for something like 60% of the market cap of the five hundred stocks in the S&P. It needs to rebalance, otherwise it's an index of 40 stocks with 460 hangers-on. Corrections are how these things happen.So I am feeling über cautious. There is nothing wrong with having cash in times like this - it means you can buy stuff.On the other hand, the year end rally is approaching - so maybe we should just stay long. As with bitcoin, the way to play the stock market since 2009 when the S&P500 reached 666 - it is ten times that today! - has been simply to hold on through. With so many conflicting messages, it's hard to know what to do. Dolce Far Niente … Italian for HODL.With all that in mind, I want to just skim through some of my speculative positions and give you my latest opinion on them. we are going to look at Metals Exploration (MTL.L), Comstock (LODE.NYSE), Lightbridge (LTBR), Minera Alamos (MAI.V) and more. Time to sell? Time to buy more?Let's see. A review of the speculative portfolioWe'll start with Metals Exploration (MTL.L), my largest position.

 DAMN!  bitcoin be having some hard times right now.  youch.  from 130K to 100K down to 80K!  that hurts.  my sympathies to all those who HODL.  may the rise be yours.  meanwhile, getting more and more hints and rumors coming up for the upcoming avengers doomsday.  i'm starting to get excited.  rumor says we're going to get a trailer attached to the new avatar movie in a few weeks.  cross your fingers.  meanwhile, new one is ready to go - you can find us at Spotify, PodBean, iTunes and Amazon  (just say 'alexa, play the latest apocalypse radio')!  use the rss feed link on the left... or CLICK HERE, O FAITHFUL LISTENER!! or right click back there, do a "save target as" and save the mp3 on your hard drive. and until next time - if you'd like to donate, donate here. otherwise, you can reach us at shaman@apocalypseradio.com and charlie@apocalypseradio.com .

Originally recorded as a live X Space and now available as a podcast episode: SALT CEO Hunter Albright joins Bitcoin Magazine's Mark Mason and host Isaiah Austin to dissect Europe's accelerating Bitcoin adoption. From MiCA's regulatory tailwind to nation-state strategic reserves and the surge in BTC-backed lending, this discussion cuts through the noise on where real momentum is building.Europe is outpacing Asia and the US in institutional Bitcoin integration, with small businesses quietly converting revenue to BTC for fast liquidity—no banks required. As digital IDs roll out in the UK, Bitcoin emerges as the clean opt-out for true financial sovereignty. Hunter breaks down SALT's collateralized lending: no credit checks, Shield protection against liquidation, and borrowing against BTC as the smarter path to wealth acceleration. Europe's HODL-lend-treasury hybrid is quietly shaping up as the blueprint for the next bull cycle.

Preston Pysh, General Partner at Ego Death Capital and Lawrence Lepard, author of The Big Print, return to the show for an in-depth discussion about the macroeconomic turning point now unfolding. They break down the Fed's latest moves, the illusion of tightening, and why quantitative easing (QE) is inevitable — whether it's called that or not. The conversation spans the end of the petrodollar era, the rise of AI and automation, wealth inequality, populism, and the future of Bitcoin in a world of gold-buying central banks. We discuss: Why liquidity drives every market cycle How QE will return under a new name Why gold leads but Bitcoin will win How AI & automation reshape labor, wages, and inflation -- and leads to more Mamdanis Why "crony capitalism," not capitalism, broke the system How quantum computing could force Bitcoin's next major upgrade ---- Pre-order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," available November 18, 2025. https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  ---- Coin Stories is powered by Gemini.
