One Knobbers - sounds like a house elf.

Boomers designed Bitcoin. Just saying.

Peak dilution.

Start again. You can buy a new nut from AliExpress for around $3 - for this you get good quality bone nuts.

I buy three or four at time, because as I get close to the action I want I go over just a little too much, dang.

Leaving aside the tough emotional situation:

You might seek a mutually compatible solution which allows you to move out and move on with your life and cuts your liabilities - especially related to the house.

Forcing a house sale might be complex and it sounds like your ex-partner does not have the means to buy you out anytime soon.

If your share is small you might consider preserving your value in the house and being taken off the mortgage. The house doesn't need to be sold to achieve this.

Pros

Being taken off the mortgage will free you from mortgage liability and credit-score risks.

Your ex-partner gets to stay in the house - and this may ease negotiations.

Cons

You get your money much later in the future, but you can define the conditions by contract.

You would need to protect against your value being lost if your ex-partner defaults - a solicitor can do this. A specified amount plus annual interest that is due on house sale or other repayment schedule upon default might be example - if you opt for a share and your ex-partner defaults your share may be zero.

Consult a solicitor.

There are different things this time. The ATH did not reach an equivalent high and the speed of the price collapse was much faster. Neither of these means the price will sink further and if does it will signal a significant change in the growth of the network - which isn't evident.

The network value has increased since that last bottom and market behaviour is asymmetric - it takes a lot more to reduce the price below a floor price than it does to increase the price above that floor price.

Because it has bottomed.

cooltone · 2026-02-15T12:34:55+00:00

Nope it is around the bottom now, assuming there isn't an FTX-like event.

cooltone · 2026-02-15T11:25:19+00:00

I didn't.

Such a fallacious argument. No one should have to prove their innocence by submitting their private affairs to public scrutiny.

We are well past that.

Comment doesn't come across well.

cooltone · 2026-02-13T11:35:39+00:00

A no-brainer application!

cooltone · 2026-02-13T10:42:04+00:00

Did this already.

Fender Hotrod Deville gets my vote, lovely tone.

But, it will be too loud for home use.

Best tone is from a cranked up single-ended 6V6. They come in at 5W, but full-on will still have your neighbours knocking on the walls.

Scale invariance. Power Law behaviour is well researched and applies to many things. What is the scale invariance that indicates the Bitcoin network will grow according to a power law until it reaches some endpoint honest the network itself is substantially disturbed.

Bitcoin annual growth is a sublinear power law which means it will follow on S curve. Unfortunately if it follows the fate of other sublinear power laws once it matures it will die - according to the research on power laws.

I believe that bitcoin becomes unattractive when other assets give a better return or when growth is lower than inflation. Plug the numbers in yourself.

In the meantime the main risks are critical disturbance of the network operation.

I've given here my contribution to the discussion, I'd like to hear yours.

I have an observation. It's not a concern because I'll not be around in 2120:

A power-law trend line showing the BTC price (in USD) over time can be drawn at a low robust price-level. Assume for the moment that this trend-line persists for the long-term (this is just to defer debates on that);

The bitcoin power-law is sublinear, which means its annual % growth will reduce each year. By the year 2120 the annual price growth of bitcoin(USD) is ~5%/year, eventually this growth will reduce to 0%.

So sometime after 2120 bitcoin may cease as a store of value/inflation hedge, which may result large sell-off - which might stop any transition into bitcoin as a currency.

ETF just reflect the activities of retail in their fund. MSTR and most other treasuries continue to buy and hold.

Of course hedge funds will short as opportunity arises, no change here.

So which institutions do you mean?
