The Sat Stacker Show | A Bitcoin Podcast

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: [email protected] 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: [email protected] 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: [email protected] 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: [email protected] 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
