John Pearl ,

Phenomenal show!

Natalie brings on the best guests and conducts a phenomenal interview. She is well researched, provides the most breaking stories and her passion for Bitcoin shines through in every conversation. Coin Stories has quickly risen to one of my top go-to pods.

You’re Doing Great!

I really have enjoyed Natalie’s Podcast. She asks great questions and I appreciate the variety of guests and topics covered. I don’t agree with everything her guests say, but she doesn’t either! She creates a fun space to learn for those at any point in their financial / Bitcoin learning journey. Her YouTube video tutorial about cold storage and podcast with Hal Finleys wife were two of my more recent favorites.

IDeck87 ,

Top tier

Cream rises to the top. I spend a LOT of time listening to BTC podcasts, and this podcast has become my favorite. Great guests, and Natalie is a fantastic interviewer. Easy to follow and listen to for both the novice and the folks that are all the way down the rabbit hole. Keep up the great work!!
