"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.

ICO fatigue has hit. I may invest in Mercury Protocol but that's it. Need to leave my investments alone for 6 months and let them grow. Focusing too much on crypto when the returns haven't been great lately.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I feel you, getting a little burnt out myself, thinking i might just get my positions and delete blockfolio until the end of the year. Probably wont happen but sounds nice haha

I did that. Problem is you can check prices as long as you have an internet connection. The best way for me to forget about it is to set up my portfolio and then just focus on other business ventures.

Quiet in the market lately.

StreamR is listing on a major exchange November 3rd. Excited about that as it's a solid long term investment and they've done everything right so far. Depending on the price it lists at I may even increase my investment.

What's your guys thoughts on Alts? You think they will go on a run after the fork? I think I may start selling some and increase my long term bitcoin holdings but wanted to wait until they hit some highs to get max value
 

"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.

I sold most of my Request for Bitcoin. So a lot of my portfolio is BTC and LTC. I still hold a lot of KNC and 0x as well. Alts will definitely make a run after 2x but for now its about Bitcoin.

About 10% of my portfolio is in bitcoin and 30% across the big 3 (ETH, BTC, LTC). I was aiming for 40% across those coins but have money tied up in alts that I'm bullish on like Red Pulse, StreamR and Cindicator.

Have no intention of selling alts at a loss until I've held for atleast a year so holding a few bags for the long term.

Yeah, its rough watching the BTC value of your portfolio go down, trying to just be patient though.

You guys may be aware of it already, I had an old 401k with around 14k in it just sitting there, I rolled it into BGTC its an ETF that holds bitcoin.

Bitcoin is about to rule the land for the next 18 days my friends until 2x. I'm still holding my Golem, 0x, and Kyber. Golem is my long long long term hold. If they deliver (which they have problems doing as of now) it will be big. 0x has a product already and a lot of exchanges are using them. I'm still holding all of my original 0x. Kyber will make big moves in January-February.

I just have to be patient my friends.

Bitcoin and bitcoin cash are both making serious gains at the moment. Long term holder of both. Been great for the portfolio given the downside on alts.
 

"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.

Yeah, bitcoin is the only think keeping me from getting absolutely crushed right now. Hoping for another epic alt run before the end of the year though

I think the right play right now is to buy Bitcoin until closer to 2x then go back to alts.

Yes seems that way. Wishing I'd stuck to my rule of having atleast 50% of my portfolio in BTC. Well this is what happens when you try and chase that fast money. Lesson learnt. At least I didn't dump my BCH either. Everything else is red.

BTC just broke $7k so difficult to justify buying now. Would have to sell alts at a massive loss.

Yeah, think its too late to start chasing. I have a few bitcoin, considering buying some cheap alts. Not sure if I should do it now or wait closer to the fork

StreamR just hit the biggest exchange in the world, bitfinex. Going to be huge, real world case. Great team. Reasonable funds raised. Expecting this to x10 by end of year easily. Pick it up while it's cheap.
 

"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.

I was really hoping BTC would crash back to 4k this week. Winning either way.

Will probably keep going up until the fork, I imagine it will correct back down to the low 5's within a few weeks or so after.

Thought americans couldn't have accounts there anymore, I sold off my iota I had there because of it.

Picked up more shares of Walton to get to 5,000 so I could run a masternode. Hoping that pays off, will be a long term hold now.

Yes. Great day for the market and I have a feeling that this is just the start.

My investors are finally in the green after buying into my portfolio at its previous ATH. The value of my stake is up almost 40% since our investment agreement. 2018 is going to be a great year for crypto.

PPT is doing very well at the moment. They released an update to their roadmap and the beta is coming end of this year. Glad I held on to it. The way I see it. If a token is doing badly I dig into the detail and ask myself whether the market price drop is justified or if it's just impatient poorly informed investors dumping the price. I knew this was the case with PPT so held. In the long run the well executed ideas will obtain their fair market price.

"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.
