All major cryptocurrencies are getting battered at the moment. What do you think is driving the decline?
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Don't get shaken out if you really believe in the space. I could have sold when Veritaseum went from 180 down to 80 but I knew it would recover and much more good news would come. It did and Veri rose to $230. It's now down to 180, but I believe it's going to $500 to $1k. Nothing has changed my opinion of crypto. Decentralization and blockchain are still the future. When there's a hack that proves blockchain is no longer transparent or secure, then i'll reconsider my position. If I had any more capital, I'd be scooping up more Veri, LTC, Cloak, etc.All major cryptocurrencies are getting battered at the moment. What do you think is driving the decline?
I'm in it for the long run unless a significant macroeconomic shock (e.g. a US ban on crypto) occurs.Don't get shaken out if you really believe in the space.

Ethereum is just getting started as there are tons of companies that will need to move to the blockchain. Only the highly technical ones are moving now. Most people still don't understand the security and inflation proof Bitcoin/Litecoin.
HODL and stay strong! When the next wave hits, you will be glad.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
writing the post now on cloud mining! My cousin in law has a house solar paneled up. I'm buying the LTC mining rig this weekend and we will be mining from his house to save costs on electricity.@AAAgent
Spent the entire Friday night / Saturday reading up on crypto.
Would recommend this course to anyone who still needs help understanding the basics:
https://www.coursera.org/learn/cryptocurrency/home/info
The more you learn, the more you realise you don't know. It's a vast space! Think you may be right about the need to specialise my good man.
Much more knowledgeable than a few weeks ago but still months / years to go. I honestly believe that people who have got in early like ourselves will have a massive advantage in a few years when crypto becomes mainstream.
How are you currently mining your BTC/ETH? What software are you using? I downloaded some free BTC mining software but at the rate I'm mining I'll be making about $0.50 a month (before electricity costs and computer wear and tear!) Any more profitable means of mining you would recommend?
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
I rent and electricity costs are already included so no issues there. Happy to look at more energy intensive mining techniques if they are the most profitable.writing the post now on cloud mining! My cousin in law has a house solar paneled up. I'm buying the LTC mining rig this weekend and we will be mining from his house to save costs on electricity.
I'm getting my rig and it will be 3 of us doing this. I have an engineer friend that is building the frame and dealing with the cooling. I'm the "expert" (im not) and advising which coins and explaining everything, and my cousin in law is providing the housing in his 2nd house. We almost went for ethereum, but my friend was taking too long on figuring out the parts, how we would switch the rig from Ethereum to another coin (ethereum will change to proof of stake end of year), etc. He was just too slow, so I opted for a prebuilt rig for LTC. I think LTC is significantly undervalued. So, electricity will be covered, we'll split profits evenly. My cousin pays less capital upfront so for allowing us to use the electricity. LTC also doesn't have any political battles going on and won't be switching from proof of work. I didn't opt for mining BTC because of the political battles for bip 148 or segwit2x hard fork, and ethereum proof of stake.I rent and electricity costs are already included so no issues there.

you make about 50% less profit renting from cloud miners than you would if you built and ran your own rig. I would buy/build my own rigs but it's REALLY hard now. Graphics cards are sold out everywhere, you can try to ebay for graphics cards but scammers are heavily in this space too selling fake stuff. If you are technical i would recommend building your own rig and mine ethereum until end of year and switch over to a different coin. You would need to build your own frames, have fans, AC, etc. to ensure the frames allow the air to cool the rigs. If you aren't technical, buy a prebuilt rig. I don't understand the technical aspect of building the rigs nor do i understand what will happen to my rig if bitcoin hardforks so I'm not messing with a bitcoin rig. Same goes with eth.@AAAgent
You mention in your previous post that you make about 50% less from cloud mining than you would if you rented yourself. What do you think would be the best way to go about doing this solo?
Let's say I had multiple rooms available.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Let me clear up since it seems I may have confused you guys.AAAgent, You will mine Ethereum for for the end of the year and switch to lite coin.
Are you saying Ethereum will not be as profitable as litecoin?
Also, I see a lot of these ICOs are accepting Ethereum as possible. So by my thinking the more ICO's that use Ethereum will decrease the price at first but when some of these ICO's blow up, Eth will blow up with it. Is this accurate?
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
