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.
Im not managing long term money. I made 34% in 5 business days. I am out of the position. I’m going to get back when it shows itself more clearly. I am not a bitcoin investor or expert.
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.
Took another look at ETH..looks pretty interesting
Then why bring up the risk in the first place, you may as well trade anything, the underlying value and risks are meaningless. Plenty of price action on absolute dog sh%t. Anyway, best of luck
Respectfully , your unjustified indignation aside, you and I just seem to look at risk differently. There are many types of risk. I am not just not so conceited as to believe that when something well established is going up or down directly in front of me by a massive %, that I have the right viewpoint to justify acting like I know more than the people that have the wherewithal to make a move like that happen on a major asset. You want to hold on to your bitcoins for a long time, more power to you. I don’t judge you for that. History is littered with the decimated account statements of HODL’s that believed in corporate charlatans that ignored what they were seeing right in front of them every time they read the quote in the paper or on their app. Maybe you have an issue with guys like me because I don’t feel the same way you do, but I’ll ask you this, one day you’re going to want to transact with someone at a pivotal price point and who do you think at all time highs or lows is going to be on the other side of that trade? You’re welcome in advance.
Not what happened, but cute spin. You brought up a risk/concern specifically on Quantum computing, I responded to that concern with several videos because I didn't feel like typing out an essay for someone who wasn't really going to take anything from it. It would be a waste of time. Saylor was just ONE of the people addressing it, there are plenty others like the other video provided, he just gave some clear and concise answers but you chose to go just immediately discredit because he owns it instead of addressing the points he made. You provided ZERO value and basically just produced a bunch of word vomit.
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.
Nobody’s bragging about anything, the return I made was brought to light as a response to the way the conversation was unfolding. Also, correct it’s a bitcoin thread and I’m talking bitcoin you just don’t like what I have to say about. I don’t necessarily see the same utility in it that you do, so that’s a problem for you, but make no mistake i am talking bitcoin. You just want to fight, im not interested. Have a good weekend my man.
How do you evaluate "BTC dominance"?
Not sure where you were looking at with coinmarket cap, but here is the specific page on that site for that
Yes, the battle tested I don't know anything about it but you're wrong thesis. Have a nice weekend as well
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
I’m long 300 shares of microstrategy, @343.94 my guy
That's wonderful, I agree its a good place to be. Not sure how that relates to our conversation though, you don't gain knowledge and understanding though osmosis my guy.
Oh, we’re not having a conversation you’re a miserable bastard. Who gets his rocks off fighting with people online. I just thought it was interesting to note.
It is called debating ideas and sharing information, you stated concerns so I shared information that addressed them. Not my fault you get emotional because you can't back anything up with substance so go ad hominin attacks
I added up the market caps found on the main page: https://coinmarketcap.com/ , but I must have made a mistake. Your link is better. If you divide BTC's market cap by their dominance, you get the total market cap of all crypto: $3 trillion.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Warren Buffet is probably the most legendary investor alive, and famously explained his company's strategy as "we simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful." As an aside, his company Berkshire Hathaway has a record $325 billion in cash, which speaks to how he views the current market.

That’s cool and history is littered with the zeroed out account statements of all sorts of great contrarians.

You have to be feeling pretty good with XRP right now, nice work
He was making 80% of his annual return sitting in treasury bills. Why wouldn’t he just keep it there the amount of weight the rest of his equity portfolio had to pull his reduce significantly just by the value made in cash
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.
