So you sold at around 6 or 7K, and bought at around 14K?
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Correct, I purchased 150 dollars worth just to try and make some beer money in the hopes that it was a temporary correction and not a structural break from the top. I honestly didn't check my account until it was at around 60-70 bucks and just ate my losses. Those numbers aren't exact and obviously I took a loss. My knowledge on charts is much broader now than it was, and unlikely would have bought any on the first real break.

What is this? High school? lol
I have better things to do than lose my money on this crap.
If we are going to resort to ad-homineum attacks, than so be it. How about we address your multitude of incorrect calls, and consistently being off with targets by large percentages. Of course the former is easier because you have nothing. At least I didn't lose big on this. The same cannot be said for the multitude of people who quit their jobs ,took out credit card debt and kept thinking they were buying at the bottom. Where are those people now?

lol... how old are you? 18? Talking about 50% losses on a $150 'investment'.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Again, we could discuss the merit of your calls, or you can attempt to strawman the conversation and sling high school jokes. The fact is I am not sitting on a loss trying to bottom pick this thing, which is down another 8% in less than 12 hours of trading. And to be clear, I operate in stocks with much larger amounts - my bitcoin speculation was to try and earn a few bucks if the dip was temporary. I wasn't stupid enough like most to put real money into this, which is more than be said of many people who have gotten their clocks cleaned in the past 10 months.lol... how old are you? 18? Talking about 50% losses on a $150 'investment'.
How do you respond to your poor calls about picking the bottom over the past 4-6 months? I am all about discussing that. Are you?
30% down from area to "think about getting involved".
I would rather be called a high schooler than being called wrong. Time for you to stop pretending like you know whats going on. your charting doesn't work. its called accountability.

lol. Here's the only chart that matters for the longer term investor... assuming the log growth curve holds, and so one hedges. Averaging in at the lower level on the correction has always been my policy.
That isn't the only chart that matters for a long term investor. You post those charts because they suit your narrative and little else. The market has broken after a mania which saw unsophisticated investors pile in on credit. Now these levels will act as resistance for a long time - how long no one has an idea.
It is instructive to look at leaders of the past. CSCO is a favorite of mine. lets pull up a chart of CSCO in the same vein you are looking at bitcoin, shall we? On the long term , since its IPO, the stock has still performed admirably. In the 90s it posted consecutive record earnings growth, and basically was ( and still is) a market leader. I bet you are even using a cisco product to read this post - assuming you or you ISP is using their routers!
So what happened for "long term investors" nearly 2 decades after its absolute peak? Well its still down 40%. The long term trend is still up, but that is nearly 20 years of opportunity cost lost. Cisco, unlike bitcoin continued to operate a profitable business and make money in those two decades. Bitcoin on the other hand might not be around in 20 years if governments do what they have done for thousands of years which is to control the minting of new money.
Losers adding to losers is not a winning strategy. I promise you all the promoters buying these alt coins are completely out of it now. Its best to admit you are wrong, and find another trade. There is nothing wrong with being wrong, but there is a lot wrong by trying to satisfy your narrative by recruiting others in order to build your own confirmation bias on a clearly broken trade.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Chris how does the bnc liquid index work? Is it a basket?
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Bubbles go back to zero. Where does this go back to zero? lol

It's just tracks BTC… updated daily, and stretching right back.
tracks btc against what? i.e. dollar index tracks dollar against all other major currencies in a weighted basket. What is btc tracked against in this BNC liquid index?
ChristopherColumbus
Master Don Juan
USD.
bubbles do not have to go back to zero. This is 100% incorrect logic. Another case - AIG:
One decade later, AIG still trades in the markets, and is still down 94% since 2008, and over 97% since its peak.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
