"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.

Any bitcoin owners here?

"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.

I thought about buying some a while back but I believe the main use for them is an online drug trade called Silk Road. Silk Road was recently busted by the feds so I would image the value of bitcoin is going to drastically fall.

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.

I own some from mining using school computers.

I'd stay far away; it's super volatile and has zero intrinsic worth.

So do dollars, but hey we keep printing them out!

Also Germany approved BitCoin as legal tender. I think we will see more countries follow suit in the coming years.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

They've got ATMs in Canada when you can withdraw canadian dollars against your bitcoins.

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.

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.

Looks like we're late for the party. At 300 and change, how high can they be reasonably expected to go.

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 Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Dollar isn't as volatile, and is more liquid than BitCoins.

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.

Well I sold all my bitcoins just now. With a nice profit of $280 i cant complain, even tho its still going higher. I just go tired of the roller coaster. haha

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."

The way I buy stock, if everyone is on the band wagon, I stay away from it, I have made a lot of money with that motto.

Learning about the bitcoin world from few days, but the impression I got is to be too late to get some benefit out of it, in terms on mining especially.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
