"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.

Yep...Bitcoin is going to infinity, because the FED can print an infinite amount of dollars.
The limit for bitcoin spreading were among the many, those related to operation skills.

Nowadays apps and noob proof exchange are basically removing this obstacle, the very wealthy ones even have people doing the work for them.

It's not any different than computers, once we moved from command lines to user interfaces we had mass adoption.
 

"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.

You waiting to buy when it hits 100k? :rofl:
Thanks for the laugh. Funny assumption. I’ve bought BTC everytime it dipped since july 2017. Further diversified my crypto portfolio january 2018. Piled up some ADA february 2019. Sure, many people still bash Cardano. I don’t care. Just like I didn’t care when people bashed BTC after a 40% dip.

I stopped selling crypto and other investments to other people a long time ago. It’s wasted energy.

People ask about crypto like they ask about learning how to play an instrument: it’s really just small talk.
Funny, when I first got into it in 2017 I was like the pied piper talking about it all the time. Believe that's pretty common though, it really takes over all your thoughts when it first starts to click. Now I just help people if they ask. I did buy all my employees some in 2017 and recently did again a few months ago. They get it if they are still working for me at the end of the year and they have to complete some learning assignments that we discuss weekly.

When I bought Bitcoin it was around 2k.. ethereum was 100 or even lower... Bitcoin blew up to 19k... people started asking me how to buy... I told them how... they bought... crypto plummeted! I heard how dumb it was and how I should sell... i kept buying.. down to 3k... back up... back down... now that Bitcoin is nearly 60k those same people say man... we should have held on. It kills them when I tell them I did... and kept buying. If it goes to zero I won’t miss the money I put in... if it goes to the moon I will be very... very happy! The advice from day 1 was always use money you won’t miss if it goes to zero.

"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.

Great initiative. Sounds like you’re fostering a healthy work environment. One that encourages mental growth. In general, many people find it hard to accept that making too many “low risk” choices can be just as detrimental as too many “high risk” choices.

People skipping bitcoin are missing out on am opportunity to make life-changing generational money. Bitcoin was the catalyst for decentralized finance, which will replace fiat. After seeing all of the new projects available and constant development in the space, it's a freight train that no government will be able to stop.

For those wondering,I am currently long ALPHA, ALPACA, ETH, BTC, SWIRL and tons of excitement and $$$ on Solana (SOL, RAY, and SRM)

Cardano is a love hate thing, but I personally like it. Small bag of ADA.

The great thing is, you can dump some $$$ in almost any legit alt coin right now and get 100x
 

"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.

This is a really strong point that's overlooked. We're no where near peak mania for this bullrun right now, and I don't expect the mania phase to begin until we hit 100k and all the news outlets keep talking about it. A lot more people are going to be funneled into entry level exchanges like Coinbase and try and buy "the next bitcoin" when they see an alt coin thats only going for a few dollars. I think if you are holding any of the top 20 coins by June you're going to see a lot of growth. Maybe not 100x but conservatively at least 5x'ing your money.

Goal right now is to figure out what coins might outperform bitcoin in the immediate future. That's where the real money is.

Agreed. People just keep watching their money dissipate with higher goods, groceries,gas, everything.

For those curious, start researching everything on the Solana blockchain.

Also, ethereum has a ton of upside for the long play.

Not financial advice!

You can buy stock of a dying company and make 300x if you can get a bunch of fools on Reddit to pump it up and convince them to "Hold no matter what" as you sell off yours at the peak (while still telling them to hold).
 

"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.

The conspiracy theory right now is that the reason the feds don't care about printing so much money is that they are planning to spin it into fedcoin. China already has digital yuan. People think of crypto as untraceable, but when the government starts running it, then crypto will be the ultimate financial tracking tool to monitor citizens.
