In this episode of Coin Stories, Natalie Brunell and Strategy CEO Phong Le discuss why Bitcoin adoption is accelerating, even as market sentiment turns cautious.

Phong explains how Strategy thinks about long-term fundamentals, stable yield above inflation, and why access to sound money should be available to everyone. Topics include:

• Strategy's "USD reserve" and addressing the FUD around dividend payments
• Why Bitcoin fundamentals matter more than short-term price action
• STRC: A 10.75% yielding "bank account" product: what it is and who it's for
• Banks coming into Bitcoin: custody, services, and why legacy finance is moving in now
• Phong Le's refugee-to-CEO story — and how that shapes his view of money, freedom, and resilience

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?
• Price expectations and what could drive the next stage of adoption
• Why OG whales sell (and what they tend to do next)
• Wealth strategy for Bitcoiners: protecting, structuring, and planning across generations
• The "what now?" problem: aligning money, meaning, and responsibility

#money #Bitcoin #investing

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

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
