Debating on selling my position in it that I've been slowly building.

Sure. But we're now at about the same price we were at almost 5 years ago. And that's WITH massive inflation at its back.

November 2017 through November 2022 was flat.
With big inflation.
Much closer to the 21 millionth (and final) coin.
With plenty of repressive regime chaos around the world (you know, the kind that supposedly generates a huge end user case for fake money).
Maybe it goes to 10 million one day...but it sure is strange how the EXACT confluence of factors that was always cited as being the very reason it would go to 10 million don't seem to be able to make it go up.

I haven't crunched the numbers but am willing to bet if you take the worst case scenario for BTC - assume a buy on the day in '21 BTC peaked as the start of the 5 year period and today the end, the dollar and BTC have about the same purchasing power today.
Not the store of value we want BTC to be, but then again we've contrived the worst case scenario here.

Maybe I misread what your point is. You were responding to the guy that scoffed at the notion that BTC was going to zero, and you pointed out that BTC has retraced its 2021 pricing amidst rampant inflation. I took that to mean you found the "go to zero" scenario plausible because BTC has performed so poorly. I merely pointed out that with the worst possible timing of buy/sell, BTC has done no worse than the dollar the last five years (your timeframe).

I don't understand it so I never bought it. If I did buy any, I would never sell the whole thing anyways.

The bitcoin-to-zero scenario is quite plausible.

It does make me wonder if it’s a spring that will uncoil when the trade unwinds. The IV blowing out is interesting. This isn’t the normal dynamic.
