"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.

It’s a small position so not really
Don't think its a good time. I'm pro bitcoin so definitely biased here but with covid, supply chain issues, economic issues due to the two previous issues, money printer go burrrr issue, lack of faith in governments because of all the prior issues, it's really hard to bet against bitcoin.

trading, you can go either way, but if your holding an ETF, the picture seems to be painted already. I bought a bunch around 33k btc, thought we might dip below but looks like we've turned.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

We’ll see what it does tomorrow. I really don’t care if I lose my money in that position or not. I was testing something

I bought in that area too, kept a lot on the sidelines though in case we kept dropping. Wish I bought more but that is always the case. Agree on the macro big picture. It is more dangerous to not own bitcoin at this point.

The move.up has been too fast with no retraces..now over $28 billion in long liquidation points that haven't been tapped yet. The higher it gets with no retrace, the bigger the retrace when it finally comes
 

"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.

Potentially that certainly is possible. Nothing is guaranteed in Bitcoin though, every so often you get some monster candle both ways.

I also longed LTC right around that range as well. Doing well in that position and scaled into it on the way up.

yeah, i have a big bag also with smart contracts and mweb, I have high hopes. It's also one of the alt coins i don't feel horrible for hodling like an XRP or DOGE.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

You just got a lower high.

We shall see. I think we're still heading higher but with the bitfinex hacked btc in the governments hands, seems pretty scary.

First attempt to inverse bitcoin left me rekt. Glad it was a small position. Oil making me so much money tho
 

"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.

The bounce would be ahead of the Super Bowl and crypto ads being seen by the largest TV audience of the year.

The emergency Fed meeting Monday is going to nuke it most likely.

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?
