I asked a friend who was about to list his house for sale how much he wanted. He said nine btc and another higher price in usd.

I will rephrase this to make it accurate: ->>except crypto as it was worthless in getting a loan.

becomes

->> except crypto as it was worthless in getting a lien against crypto.

In other words, they can't lien your 1000 ounces of gold coin you claim to have in your basement.
