    Lyn Alden: Bitcoin's Next Move, Strategy's STRC Volatility & the Protocol Debate

    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

    Mauricio Di Bartolomeo: Gold vs. Bitcoin Credit, the $40K Bitcoin Debate and Ledn's S&P Bitcoin Bond

    Ledn Co-Founder Mauricio Di Bartolomeo joins Natalie Brunell for a first-time announcement: Tether's tokenized gold (XAUt) is coming to Ledn — the first step toward gold-backed loans later this year.

    He answers the Bitcoin purists on adding gold, breaks down Ledn's first S&P investment-grade bond backed by Bitcoin loans, and gives a firsthand account of Venezuela after Maduro's capture.

    Topics we cover:

    • XAUt tokenized gold (real bars in Tether's Swiss vaults) coming to Ledn, with gold-backed loans later this year
    • Inside Ledn's first S&P investment-grade bond backed by Bitcoin loans — and how the ABS market could scale Bitcoin credit toward $1 trillion
    • Mauricio's answer to Bitcoiners who don't like credit products or investing in other assets
    • Natalie's experience taking her first Ledn loan: https://youtu.be/xD3ZoZ2woPk?si=ix0HKnD85hqMTokU
    • Why Ledn caps loans at 50% LTV, and how auto top-off protects borrowers from liquidation
    • His read on "seller exhaustion" and why he expects a summer price come-back
    • Venezuela after Maduro's capture — and the crackdown on its illegal gold mines

    The Best of Bitcoin: Highlights From Our Most-Watched Shows with Saylor, Macgregor, Webb, Booth

    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

    Michael Saylor: Answering the Critics on mNAV, Bitcoin Per Share, and the Path to $1 Million

    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

    • How much Bitcoin Morgan Stanley recommends owning
    • Why Bitcoin is stuck even as the banks pile in

    Luke Gromen: Why Tech Stocks are Outperforming Bitcoin - But This Macro Shift Will End It

    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.
