...The voltage was 220v, reversing the poles wouldn't solve it, but if
put a wire grounded in its sky-blue Iron bodywork, I believe the shock would end...
Pondering a little further, I stand partially corrected.
Reverse only in the plug - or just stick it up-side down.
You can’t reverse the socket, because that would mean that you would have to fix the other end too.
It definitely worked in my case, twice, tipped off by a guy that fixes washers for a living.
Two types of shock:
1. mains shock (reverse trick most likely to work)
2. capacitor shock (reverse trick doesn't work)
All metal housed electric appliances should always be properly grounded. Works in both cases.
I'm only a tech, so what do i know?
I remember my grandfather inverting the plug saying that it wouldn't shock anymore,
but I kept taking it.... Yes sometimes it works, but I remember someone saying
that this only works in direct current and alternating current, it doesn't seem to make
that much difference, but it does, if you invert the wire in a motor, its rotation will change...
..but what came to my mind when reading what you wrote, is that there, was a
third important point, where the ground wire solves, but, but the problem that internally,
there may be some frayed, bare wire, touching the housing(of machine o anything eletrical)
and or somehow escaping current, which can compromise the operation of an equipment, whatever it is...
put a wire grounded in its sky-blue Iron bodywork, I believe the shock would end...
Yes. Likely incorrectly wired. Probably ground connected to neutral or possibly not connected at all. Neutral should be near ground but may be off by a bit, giving tingles rather than a shock. I have been bitten by 240V and by 50V but not 120V yet.
So... Here when I installed solar panel, the company of my state, requires that the
grounding of the panels be connected to the neutral of the grid, this is wrong, but
to get approval, the ground was connected to the neutral, and they have an ohmo meter,
and they disconnect the neutral to check..., I said to myself, that after they approved it,
and I would cut the neutral from the ground, but to this day I haven't done that,
I'm leaving it for later and it's been about three or four years.... I'm going to go up there,
but I need to somehow ground the neutral, if in case, suddenly they appear, almost zero
probability of them appearing, but prevention rather than cure, but time is passing...
and that's not right, when I take the measurement of the neutral with a multimeter,
the voltage varies from three to five volts.... But the equipment here doesn't give shock...
but it is very wrong... because there can be a discharge in the neutral of the network and
burn everything that is grounded... and or over time it saturates the electronic components..
.. the correct one is for the neutral to be part of the ground, but people use the neutral like ground.... there's no way.... But in the project that was, I had to attach the photos of
the grounding rod, photo of the junction box where the neutral is connected
to the same bodywork as the ground...
...I took a shock from a shock flashlight, one of those stronger ones, it's written about 300 thousand watts, but these Chinese things....
...I was five years old, and I saw my uncle put the key in the contact and turn,
I thought it was something magical....because the car was moving, after that...
you could believe or not, but, its is a real history o f mine, that happened with me....
And then, one day they were all having lunch and I figured that if I plugged the key in socket, and turned it over, the house would move like the car and then I would take everyone for
a walk, while they had lunch....... i had 5five yo...
I remember my grandfather passing by and nothing else, but I remember being glued,a good time, maybe no more than one minute as if it was glued and a taste of melted wire in his mouth, he went to turn off the circuit braker, and if he hadn't done that
I would have been glued.... and from there it didn't pass...
About five years ago I saw the same thing happen with a friend, but he shook so much
that he broke the wires,.... but in general, one phase of 110 volts (ranging from 110~130V),
attracts, while two, 220~240..expels...

What I keep thinking is: why an 88% drop? Why $8000?
If the same one who says this, says that tomorrow or the day after,
the price could be above millions, and his company is focused on bitcoin....(?)
Even an 88% bitcoin crash to 8000 wont shake us says michael saylor,
Michael Saylor says his Bitcoin-focused firm, Strategy, is positioned to
withstand a severe market downturn.
According to Saylor, the company could continue meeting its obligations
even if
Bitcoin’s price dropped to $8,000. The company holds $6 billion in net debt, structured to remain serviceable during
prolonged downturns.
Strategy plans to
convert convertible notes into equity over 3–6 years, reducing debt without adding new senior obligations.
The firm currently holds 714,644 BTC ($48.86 billion), making it the
largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.
...In a post on X, Saylor pointed to Strategy’s balance sheet structure. The company
reports approximately $6 billion in net debt and presented internal analysis suggesting
that even an 88% decline in Bitcoin’s price would leave the value of its reserves
roughly aligned with that liability.
,..Strategy chief executive officer Phong Le addressed a similar scenario during
a recent earnings call. He noted that even
if Bitcoin were to lose 80% of its value,
it would likely take years for such a decline to have a material effect on operations.
That extended window, he said, would allow the company to
restructure and manage obligations if required.
When Saylor was asked about investor concerns that Strategy might be forced to sell—in the event that bitcoin prices fall sharply and don't recover for years—he was sanguine.
"If bitcoin falls 90% for the next four years, we'll just refinance the debt," he said,
adding that Strategy has enough in its cash reserves to pay dividends on its bitcoin-backed
high-yield perpetual preferred shares like "STRC," and cover its debt, for more than two years.
The "only thing" investors need to know, Saylor said in the CNBC interview,
is that bitcoin would do double to triple the performance of the S&P 500
over the next four to eight years.
And then, I had said that this week he would disclose his new acquisitions,
but no, I was wrong....
Michael Saylor pauses btc purchases,
.Michael Saylor did not announce a BTC purchase this week, during a market lull
for the New Year market holiday in Asia.
.Strategy skipped the BTC purchase despite raising funds with STRC.
...Michael Saylor’s Strategy did not make the usual BTC purchase announcement.
Despite BTC hovering below $70,000, the company did not buy the dip.
The previous week, Strategy acquired 1,142 BTC.
Instead, he mentioned one of Bitcoin’s main features, its non-stop trading.
Despite this,
the Year of the Horse celebrations put a damper on crypto activity
and overall trading volumes.
Markets closed. Bitcoin open. Happy Hodlday.
— Michael Saylor (@saylor) February 16, 2026
Strategy’s move was unexpected, as the company did not skip its BTC purchases,
except for its quarterly report weeks. The skipped purchase arrived at a time
of extreme market fear, as the Bitcoin fear and greed index is stuck at 12 points.

By the way, the Chinese and Russians are conducting military exercises with Iran, which I guess means that they clearly show whose side they are on.
Iran is a member country of great importance for the BRICS
Russia and Iran began joint exercises today in the Gulf of Oman
and the northern Indian Ocean
The Baltic Fleet's Stoic corvette has already participated in activities even before
the official announcement, and also China is sending ships as well,
and next week there are exercises between China and Iran.
Also a month or so cargo ships arrived from China and Russia with a lot of cargo delivered...
There are also reports of Russian and Chinese electronic warfare frigates, fishing for data...
...remembering that the US has the skies of the region well designed,
a great indicator of the beginning of war...
.
.wow., good Job!
.I hope you do for free...
and you don't get paid for the great service provided.,

Galaxy Digital Head of Research Alex Thorn has recalled a
16-year-old thought experiment from Satoshi Nakamoto
to defend the "digital gold" narrative.
Alex Thorn, head of firmwide research at Galaxy Digital, has come up with a
detailed rebuttal to critics who claim Bitcoin has failed as a
hedge against currency debasement. Thorn argues that the true "digital gold" thesis
is more about a fundamental vision laid out by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2010
instead of short-term price fluctuations.
Satoshi’s thought experiment Thorn pointed to a seminal post by Satoshi Nakamoto
on the Bitcointalk forum, which dates back all the way to Aug. 27, 2010.
It is devoted to the intrinsic value of the then-nascent cryptocurrency.
Satoshi asked readers to
imagine a "base metal as scarce as gold" but stripped
of all its useful physical qualities (boring grey in colour, not a good conductor of electricity,
not particularly strong, not useful for any practical or ornamental purpose).
Despite these deficiencies, he assigned this metal
"one special, magical property: can be transported over a communications channel". Satoshi concluded that this property alone could monetize the asset.
"If it somehow acquired any value at all for whatever reason, then anyone wanting to
transfer wealth over a long distance could buy some,
transmit it, and have the recipient sell it."....
The "magical" delta
According to Thorn, this thought experiment is the "digital gold" thesis in its purest form.
It describes an asset that mimics gold’s scarcity and durability
but adds the "magical" utility of instant, global transferability.
...
For investors willing to look past the recent volatility, this could be a significant opportunity,
according to Thorn. "And if you believe that the market will eventually
value bitcoin like gold, that’s your alpha."
- CME Group to Offer 24/7 Crypto Trading ,
Digital asset futures and options to trade around the clock on Globex platform.
CME Group is set to embrace the always-on trading model
prevalent in the cryptocurrency market.
The company announced it will enable 24-hour trading for
its digital asset futures and options contracts later this year.
This move aims to align CME’s crypto offerings more closely with offshore exchanges
like Binance, where perpetual futures already operate around the clock.
The contracts will trade continuously on CME’s Globex platform starting May 29,
pending regulatory review. A minimum two-hour maintenance window will be implemented
each weekend. This expansion of trading hours represents a significant step
towards meeting the demands of the evolving digital asset landscape.
I get it, so it's not crypto winter,
it's heating and accumulation,
and in May,
things a little more different.

And so, as you hear these words
Telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
