Jordi Visser: The Macro Case for Bitcoin Has Never Been Stronger
Macro investor and former hedge fund CIO Jordi Visser returns to Coin Stories for a wide-ranging conversation with Natalie Brunell on the forces reshaping markets, money, and the future of work.
- Is the geopolitical chaos part of a real strategy — or are we watching improvisation in real time?
- Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and rare earths — why energy control is the most important chess move nobody is talking about
- "Software stocks may never be investable again"
- The institutional floodgates are opening — Jordi's framework for when money managers have no choice but to buy Bitcoin
- The one geopolitical scenario that could set the global economy back decades — and how to protect yourself
"We are not the top of the food chain anymore. A superintelligent being stronger and smarter than any human will be here in five years."

Mike Coffey: How One Small Business Owner Used Bitcoin to Transform His Company
What happens when you give 130 employees a $30,000 bonus... and they forget they got it? That's exactly what pushed Mike Coffey, CEO of BlueCotton, to do something radical: pay employees in Bitcoin.

Mike runs a 130-person custom apparel company in Bowling Green, Kentucky — and he's quietly turning his small business into a Bitcoin case study. In this episode, we dig into why he made the switch, how it's impacting his employees' financial futures, what it's done for his bottom line, and why Bitcoin is the only bonus people actually remember.

If you're a business owner wondering whether Bitcoin is right for your company — this is the episode that will change your mind.

Stafford Masie: Why the Rest of the World Gets Bitcoin Wrong
Is Bitcoin just "number go up?" Or is it something far bigger? Natalie Brunell sits down with Africa Bitcoin Corporation Executive Chairman Stafford Masie explore why Bitcoin adoption in Africa looks radically different than in the West.

- Why Bitcoin is money in Africa, not just "store of value"
- 1 Bitcoin = 5 African jobs
- Stablecoins vs Bitcoin adoption
- Lowering capital costs with Bitcoin
- The human yield flywheel
