"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.

Haha, nope, I sold at strategic losses a few times to wipe out almost all my gains, then bought back cheaper and held til 2022. Losses wipe out gains in crypto unlike stocks when you buy it back cheaper.

Bound to happen eventually. How soon, don't know. Some think it's imminent, others a few years away, and others somewhere in between.
It's one of those times that I really have no clue what the market is going to do, nothing would surprise me. PTSD from 2018 just makes me lean bear to be mentally prepared for a longer duration haha
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

If China invades Taiwan soon the price of Crypto will hit rock bottom. I think that would be the best time to buy it all up.

Just imagine how much profit you stand the gain.

That's just not based on any historical fact. People come up with these thoughts as if they have to happen based on xyz.

What happened once Russia invaded? It took off.
You don't seem to understand these moves are already priced in prior to the invasion occurring and then once it occurs you get a bullish move like a spring board.

So if that occurs, the dip will be BEFORE the invasion
 

"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.

Do you not realise Most crypto mining relies on fast computers with powerful cpus/gpus. TSMC supplies most of the worlds semiconductors which are used in most smartphones and computers.

I'll let you think about that for a moment.

This is exactly why crazy price fluctuations happen...because people dream up these scenarios in their minds expecting them to play out and then once they don't, price reverses.

So what are we thinking with BTC... Could it still hit 100k or is that out of the question this year?
It's definitely possible. Will it happen? Who knows. Some see an extended cycle going into 2023 before hitting it's peak, others see it peaking by April or May.

Right now there are both bull and bear cases.

While the market has been going up lately and setting higher lows, it's also been setting lower highs and unable to break through a bearish trendline from the ATH.

The monthly MACD has crossed bearish for the first time in 19 months and coming down from highly overbought levels in the RSI and is looking at printing an "M" pattern, which is a double top(opposite is a "W"). The base of this "M" is around 12K. Will we get there? I dunno.

There is no reason a pattern "has to" complete, they just often do. On the lower timeframes like the weekly we appear to be in ascending Wedge formation, which is bullish.

Currently we seem to be stuck between the 32-46K range and just going up and down and creating different patterns inside that pattern.

Long-term, highly bullish. One day 100K will be looked at as cheap for BTC. Whether it's 3 years or 8 years or 20 years, that time is 100% coming.

Shorter term we might be bearish still until it can break through the channel we are in and bust out of the bearish trendline.

Someone told me that if it goes to 60 then it will go up from there but it did that last year and didn't.. I'm still in on this... Buying BTC and ETH and treating it as another portfolio allocation for retirement.
 

"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.

If it breaks through the 45-46K resistance it's going to rapidly go up from there.

That would mean it broke out of the bearish trendline that it's been in for quite some time and should be ready to fly

I'm sorry the 6 month chart screams bull trapping

Still waiting for a conducive argument as to why it is going to 100K

Apparently during something like say a "war" it was supposed to be its time to shine and would reach that 100k however
on announcement of invasion it dropped 10% and has been barcoding since

Seems a wonderfull hedge.....against absolutely nothing so far

Yea its probably great bet in a speculative bull market especially in a period when global central banks and governments decided to over inflate every major economy giving any idiot with two brain cells the financial capacity to become a small time "crypto investor"

However the chickens are about to come home to roost and we are about to see just how resilient bitcoin actually is

6 month charts in crypto would be like looking at a 20 year chart in stocks. It just isn't really relevant, IMO

It's a great hedge against the financial weaponization of the banking system we have seen the past month in Canada and now Russia. Bitcoin and the rest of crypto are two entirely different subjects. If you can't grasp that and see where this is headed you will have much bigger problems in the future.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

If the US was smart they'd start releasing some reserves and subsidizing the US shale drillers to heavily offset what Russia supplies in oil.

At one point the US was supplying the most barrels of oil per month in the world not too long ago when the shale drillers were running fully.

There is no reason why the US can't easily replace the oil we get from Russia.
 

"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.
