Episode notes
Can you really retire off Bitcoin — even if the price drops 50%?
Mark Moss returns to Coin Stories to explain why he believes you can, what most people misunderstand about volatility, and why becoming a forced seller can be more dangerous than a falling market. He also opens up about what happened inside Satsuma, the Bitcoin treasury company that ultimately unraveled.
In this episode:
- How to retire off Bitcoin without selling it
- What really happened inside Satsuma
- Whether the Coldcard exploit changes self-custody
- Why Mark doesn't expect another 2008-style crash soon
- What could finally bring money back into Bitcoin
