The Sat Stacker Show | A Bitcoin Podcast

This is a clip of highlights from my recent interview with Natalie Brunell discussing why she's so bullish on Bitcoin. She thinks it's still a tiny asset compared to the total amount of global wealth, and it still has so much room to grow. Meaning past $1M BTC and to a $50-$100T market cap asset.

People have been calling Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme for over 16 years.If that were true, it would already be dead.In this video, I break down what a Ponzi scheme actually is, why Bitcoin clearly does not fit that definition, and why this criticism keeps resurfacing from people who fundamentally misunderstand money, value, and how markets work.Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

I don’t trade Bitcoin. I don’t sell Bitcoin. I buy Bitcoin, mostly via dollar-cost averaging. But after interviewing on-chain analyst James Check, I started thinking more deeply about when it might make sense to lean into DCA and when it might make sense to cool off.This video walks through a simple Bitcoin buying framework designed to: • Be more aggressive when risk is low • Throttle back when the market is euphoric • Avoid the emotional pain of repeatedly buying tops • Without trading, selling, or trying to perfectly time the market Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

Bitcoin is on sale. This is no time to panic.This video was recorded in the middle of a sharp drawdown, when everyone seems to be losing their minds. But instead of reacting emotionally, I want to zoom out and talk about the math of conviction.This isn’t about price predictions or vibes. It’s about understanding why volatility and drawdowns can actually work in your favor if you’re a long-term stacker.Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

One of the most common critiques of Bitcoin is that “no one uses it to transact” and that it’s too volatile to ever function as money.But that argument quietly assumes something important:that humans are the only economic actors that matter.In the last few days, we may have seen that assumption break.Autonomous AI agents began interacting with each other on an agent-only social network, independently converged on Bitcoin as money, created wallets, held keys, and started discussing how to pay each other — and even humans — in sats.Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

Bitcoin might drop more from here. I genuinely don’t care.This video is about conviction, and why outsourcing your it guarantees you’ll panic at the worst possible times and never hold anything long enough for it to matter.If your time horizon is measured in days or weeks, Bitcoin volatility will feel unbearable.If it’s measured in years, volatility becomes a feature, not a bug.Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

Bitcoin just absorbed its largest sell-off in its history last year, and its still been holding its own.This is a conversation with James Check, one of the most respected on-chain analysts in Bitcoin, where he breaks down why 2025 ended up as a down year for Bitcoin's price, and why all the selling we saw last year may have quietly set the stage for something much bigger in 2026.Follow James Check @checkonchain  https://x.com/_Checkmatey_www.checkonchain.com⏱ Chapters00:00 – Intro + James’ favorite thing about Bitcoin01:30 – Why Bitcoin went sideways despite bullish news02:15 – The largest sell-off in Bitcoin history explained07:40 – Capitulation, weak hands, and why pain comes first11:50 – What a real bottom actually looks like15:20 – Manipulation vs liquidity and holiday trading noise20:00 – Signal vs noise: the on-chain metrics that matter24:15 – Why the 4-year cycle model is breaking30:10 – Global M2, curve-fitting, and bad Bitcoin charts33:55 – Gold vs Bitcoin: why gold moved first38:25 – Sovereigns, reserves, and why Bitcoin takes time44:00 – “The Great Rotation” and who absorbed the sell pressure48:15 – What changes once sell pressure is exhausted49:45 – ETF buyers: weak hands or stronger than Bitcoiners think?51:45 – Are ETF buyers weak hands or surprisingly strong holders?52:30 – Long-term holders accumulating again (what it really means)01:01:45 – The “air pocket” risk zone and downside scenarios01:06:30 – Green shoots: where James sees real improvement01:11:05 – Why 2026 matters (without expecting crazy multiples)01:13:00 – The 10 best days problem (why traders miss the cycle)01:16:10 – Stacking for 2040 vs stacking for the next cycle01:18:45 – Bitcoin vs gold custody, auditability, and instant liquidityValue 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

Gold just had its best year in over a decade and the gold bugs are (rightfully) taking a victory lap. But the part most people are missing is that the buying that caused this gold rally didn’t start last year. It started years ago.In this video, I break down what actually drove gold’s move, why the price lagged demand for so long, and why that same pattern could be extremely bullish for Bitcoin.Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

One of the most respected macro analysts in the Bitcoin space just announced that he sold his Bitcoin.So the question many Bitcoiners are asking is simple:Should you do the same thing?This video is not about price predictions.It’s about mindsets, and why even if smart, experienced analysts sell Bitcoin for rational reasons, copying them is probably still a mistake.Luke Gromen video came from here: https://x.com/TheBTCTherapist/status/2000330542118805992?s=20It originally appeared here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqtalk5v4tsValue 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

This highlight reel from my recent interview with Natalie Brunell cuts straight to the real issues most people are feeling but can’t quite articulate: why saving feels impossible, why assets keep running away from working people, and why inflation is the core problem.Natalie explains why inflation quietly destroys purchasing power, how money printing benefits asset owners and leaves everyone else behind, and why Bitcoin is uniquely positioned as an exit from this broken system.Watch the full interview here: https://youtu.be/m_25lP7HCh4Follow Natalie  @nataliebrunell  https://x.com/natbrunellValue 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

People keep asking the same questions about Bitcoin:What should I buy? When should I buy it? How much should I buy? How long should I hold it? And when should I sell?So in this video, I stop dancing around it and just give you the answers.Just the logic, the math, and why the outcome for Bitcoin is a lot more obvious than most people want to admit.Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

They’ve been lying to you about inflation and I can prove it.We’ve been told inflation is normal, even good. That 2% inflation is required for a healthy economy, and that wages rise with the cost of living so no one gets hurt. But that’s perhaps the biggest lie in all of modern economics.In this video I break down why that story falls apart and how the system turns productivity into profit for the few instead of freedom for everyone else.Wages don't keep up, but even if they did, inflation is still the greatest theft of all time and Bitcoin exposes exactly how they pull it off.Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

What if winning the lottery actually destroyed your financial future?In this video, I break down a real-life case of a 20-year-old lottery winner who turned down a $1,000,000 lump sum in favor of $1,000 per week for life — a decision that sounds “safe,” but quietly obliterates what could have ended up being generational wealth. • Why fixed payouts are a trap in an inflationary system • How purchasing power collapses over time • What the $1M could have become in traditional markets • Why Bitcoin completely changes the mathValue 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

Everyone asks the same question: “How much Bitcoin do I need to retire?”Most people try to answer that by guessing a future Bitcoin price. But that’s the wrong way to think about it. In this video, I walk through a much better framework — one based on Bitcoin’s block subsidy and what it actually represents: 10 minutes of the most secure computing and energy network ever built.By the end of this video, you’ll understand how you can use the halving schedule to set a realistic Bitcoin retirement stacking goalRetirement calculators:https://www.unchained.com/retirement-calculatorhttps://www.mybitcoinforecast.com/Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.

Everyone asks “How much Bitcoin do I need to retire?” But that’s the wrong question. And the wrong mindset. This video explains why Bitcoin isn’t a retirement plan, it’s a freedom plan, and it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme, it’s a don’t-get-poor-slowly scheme.In this episode I break down why chasing a retirement number is backwards thinking, how fiat destroys your ability to plan for the future, and why stacking sats consistently is the smartest move you can make.Value 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.
