• The AstroForge PGM paper reports the same hold-then-collapse shape under two different demand assumptions — constant demand in its back-of-envelope table, price-responsive demand in its full simulation

• The AstroForge PGM model's price-holds mechanism is a stated modeling assumption — the market price stays anchored to terrestrial supply cost as long as any terrestrial supply remains — not derived from an independent equilibrium argument

• The AstroForge PGM model structures supply into three cost tiers cleared through Vensim's FIND MARKET PRICE function, driven by a named reinforcing/balancing feedback-loop pair ("R1 Gold Rush" / "B2 Falling Price")

• Does the AstroForge PGM system-dynamics model actually produce the 'price holds then collapses' shape, and under what assumptions?

• AstroForge's own December 2023 congressional testimony describes its general asteroid-mining mechanism as electromagnetic docking, laser ablation, mass-spectrometry separation, and magnetic collection

• AstroForge's DeepSpace-2 mission carries no mining hardware — its payload is a camera-only flyby and characterization mission

• Hotelling's rule predicts a price shape structurally distinct from both the vault's hold-then-collapse and monotonic-decline commodity shapes

• Real cheaper-extraction disruptions (aluminium, AI inference) have fallen monotonically, not on the hold-then-collapse curve predicted for asteroid-mined PGM

• Unforgeable cost of production is the shared law linking bit gold's design and the asteroid-PGM price-collapse model — the same law viewed from its design side and its collapse side

• Does Hotelling's rule for exhaustible-resource pricing predict a different shape than the vault's cost-of-production / unforgeable-costliness cluster?

• Unforgeable costliness bridges asteroid-PGM and bit gold: value tracks the hard-to-forge cost of production, and Bitcoin was engineered to escape the collapse the PGM model describes

• Asteroid mining won't crash the platinum market gradually — it holds until the whole supply flips off-world, then collapses

• A system-dynamics model of asteroid-mined platinum predicts the PGM price holds near current levels until essentially all supply has shifted off-world, then collapses toward the cost of space extraction
