Miguel Munoz looks at crypto the way a macro thinker looks at the whole board — debt, currencies, real estate, AI — and asks where the money is actually flowing. The investor behind Dollar Cost Crypto joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour for episode 1911, a wide-ranging conversation about a financial system he believes is quietly shifting.
He describes getting in early — catching Bitcoin at $500 and Ethereum at $8 — and what those bets taught him about timing, risk, and conviction. But the conversation pushes well past the origin story, into stablecoins funding U.S. debt, El Salvador's Bitcoin strategy, market cycles, and whether the economy is already in a recession.
About Miguel Munoz
Miguel Munoz came to crypto from traditional business, and the platform he built, Dollar Cost Crypto, reflects that path: less hype, more attention to how digital assets connect to the wider economy. By his account, early positions in Bitcoin and Ethereum grew into millions — and shaped how he thinks about patience and conviction ever since.
In this episode he connects dots most coverage keeps separate: why stablecoins matter to government debt, why banks watch crypto's growth nervously, how gold and Bitcoin really compare, and where AI fits into the future of work. He also covers the unglamorous side — scams, hacks, and keeping what you hold secure.

Why This Conversation Matters
Crypto conversations tend to be either evangelism or dismissal, with little room for the macro picture in between. Miguel Munoz works in that middle ground, treating Bitcoin and stablecoins as pieces of a larger economic shift worth understanding on its own terms. It is a conversation for anyone curious about where money itself is headed.
