Uptober, Q4, and Bitcoin’s Next Leg with Mark Moss

Mark Moss returns to Coin Stories with Natalie Brunell to explain the reverse crash, why assets rise while lifestyles lag, and how the debasement trade reframes Bitcoin as risk-off.

We discuss:
- Q4 tailwinds: “Uptober,” seasonality, and November volatility
- BTC + gold as hard-money havens amid ongoing debasement
- Inflationary crash vs. classic crashes
- Stablecoins, policy moves, and structural demand for U.S. debt
- Corporate treasuries’ longer duration; when outperformance shows up
- Mark's plan for how you can retire off Bitcoin in 5 years
