He appeared to skate not to win, but not to lose.

That subtle shift undoes anyone.

Minutes into his program, Malinin missed his famed Axel, abandoned two quad attempts, fell twice, and shockingly finished off the podium.

Bitcoin Sudden Selloff Reveals Three Timeless Rules Many Investors Forget

Bitcoin just recorded its steepest selloff in three years.

Even some of crypto’s most outspoken champions are struggling to explain what triggered the selloff.

I’m amused by Bitcoin’s meteoric rise and plunge. Aren’t you?

In 2018, bitcoin fell 80% off a cliff.

The latest roller coaster?

A 45% plunge in four months, from October 2025 to February 6, 2026.

There was no single trigger.

Just a familiar selloff. Crowded trades. Leverage. Price over understanding.

Manias change. Maniac behavior does not.

As Stevie Nicks sang, “The sea changes color, but the sea does not change.”

Not a wise plan.

The question is how you survive until release arrives.

I have lived through at least five extreme nightmares.

Five avalanches that came my way.

How to Hope in the Middle of Any Crisis

Did you ever think hope could vanish as meaning itself grows thin?

Across cultures and countries, many people sense it.

  • Progress without purpose.
  • Motion without direction.

Life keeps moving, but fewer know why.

That’s why TV channels and streaming platforms replay epic stories again and again.

Stories like The Lord of the Rings.

Frodo Baggins and his companions live day and night in loss, pain, and darkness.

Tolkien enthusiasts adopted the catchphrase “Frodo Lives” to express hope in dark times.

God filled hope

For anyone in despair, three reminders can light up a dismal season.
