All major cryptocurrencies are getting battered at the moment. What do you think is driving the decline?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
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.
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.
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?
