The Sat Stacker Show | A Bitcoin Podcast

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: [email protected] 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: [email protected] 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: [email protected] 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: [email protected] or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.
