Who's really buying Bitcoin right now -- and why aren't more people paying attention? This week on Coin Stories, Natalie sits down with Julian Liniger, co-founder and CEO of Relai, Europe's leading Bitcoin-only exchange, live at BTC Prague.
After onboarding more than 100,000 Europeans to Bitcoin, Julian has a rare, ground-level view of who's actually buying — and it's not who you'd expect. He shares what his data reveals about everyday people turning to Bitcoin, why European savers feel squeezed, why retail interest has gone quiet, and where he thinks the price goes from here.
