Natalie Brunell: Leaving the Fiat Matrix


Listen Later

We are living in a system that is rigged against the average person. In this episode, Brandon Karpeles sits down with Natalie Brunell, host of Coin Stories and author of the new book Bitcoin Is for Everyone.

Natalie shares her powerful personal story of emigrating from Poland, watching her family struggle in a new country, and realizing that the American Dream is slipping away due to a broken monetary system. She breaks down:

  • The Immigrant Experience: How her family’s escape from communism shaped her views on money, scarcity, and freedom.
  • The "Fiat Matrix": Why inflation isn't a natural phenomenon but a policy choice that benefits the few at the expense of the many.
  • The "Suicidal Empathy" Trap: Why government welfare programs often trap people in dependency rather than empowering them.
  • The Energy FUD: Why energy is the "currency of the universe" and why Bitcoin's energy usage is a feature, not a bug.
  • Faith & Bitcoin: How discovering Bitcoin brought her back to her faith and why she believes the two are deeply connected.
  • The "Food Bank" Crisis: The shocking reality of tens of millions of people relying on food aid in the richest country on earth.
  • Why "Bitcoin Is for Everyone": Her mission to bridge the gap and explain Bitcoin not just to investors, but to the people who need it most.

This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the human side of Bitcoin—how it restores dignity, hope, and the opportunity for a better future.
