"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Any bitcoin owners here?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
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.
The price of bitcoin did drop about 25% because of the silk roads shut down, only to go right back up days later and make historical highs. If you ask me this last rise in price is attributed to the fact that bitcoin didnt totally collapse after the shut down.DJ Bax said:
"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.

They very well may be in a bubble, as more and more people are hearing about them, and buying them just because they think they'll go up in price (which pretty much defines a bubble).
While I would have LOVED to make 40 TIMES my money over the past year, I'm fearful that the government will decide to pull the rug out at any time.
For those in the know, does the increase in price justify all the equipment needed to mine them? I know six months or so ago, it was pretty close.
Could you spend $5K on mining machines and make a profit within, say, six months? Or is the rise in price also reflect the diminishing mining returns?

The government can't do sh1t about bitcoin, they have zero control over them.taiyuu_otoko said:
There's virtually no point in trying to mine them at this point, the amount of money you spend will be vast compared to what you get out.

Since I own a computer business, I wonder if I could cobble together a mining rig that would at least pull some kind of profit. I need to keep 3 computers running 24/7 in my office, and a lot of that time is idle time. It seems to be worth investigating.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
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.

Again guys, stay far away. This is a bubble; the concept can be applied to an infinite amount of digital currencies. You'd be better off learning real business skills.

Good you made a profit.
One thing they say about bubbles is you feel like an idiot if you don't get it, then you feel like an idiot when you do get in.
Just remember the sage words of Malcom Forbes:
"Never buy at the bottom, and ALWAYS sell too soon."
