Sam Callahan: Why Bitcoin is Winning

Podcast
February 2, 2026

The world is waking up to the reality of broken money. In this episode, Brandon Karpeles sits down with Sam Callahan, Director of Strategy and Research at Orange BTC (OranjeBTC), to discuss how they are bringing a Bitcoin treasury strategy to Latin America.

Sam shares his unique journey from working in professional sports science (helping athletes like Derrick Rose avoid injury) to diagnosing the "injuries" in our monetary system. He breaks down:

  • The "Orange BTC" Mission: How his new company is acting as a "MicroStrategy for Latin America" to give institutions access to Bitcoin.
  • The "Illusion of Wealth": Why your house and stocks going up might just mean your money is going down.
  • The 60/40 Problem: Why bonds and stocks are moving together, and why investors desperately need a new uncorrelated asset (hint: it's Bitcoin).
  • Central Bank Dilemma: Why central banks are trapped and why they fear Bitcoin (but might eventually have to buy it).
  • The "Volatility" Myth: Why volatility isn't risk—it's just the price of admission for superior returns.
  • Brazil's Crypto Landscape: Why a country with high stablecoin adoption is ripe for a Bitcoin revolution.
  • The "Mitochondria" Glasses: A brief detour into bio-hacking and how amber glasses help Sam (and Brandon) sleep better.

This episode is a deep dive into the intersection of macroeconomics, institutional adoption, and the moral imperative of fixing the money.
