"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.

Watch out for a sneak strong move to the upside initiating on Late Saturday night/Easter Sunday to catch people napping while they are celebrating the holiday.

"W"/Inverted Head and Shoulders forming on the daily chart, standard error bands opening up wide to the upside as price presses against it...downward 4 month trend line on the daily broken, now acting as support along with the 20 SMA...MFI forming "W" on the daily near the midline...would not be surprised to see the next leg up initiate by stealth while nobody is watching...many times this is how they operate.

Like a prophet...send it.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Just sold at 97.4K in the middle of the daily supply zone...expecting it to drop back to around 90-92K and will buy back...

May buy back early if it looks like it won't get that far back

I bought 100 of the IBIT 73 8/29/25 calls for 2.15. Shares 67.45, 30 delta. Avg vol I think was 37.50

I see the etf running to 85 (probably going to have to adjust the position at some point but who knows) I see BTC going to 150k

anyone with me?

LOL, I might be but would you mind translating this to a language us common folk can understand? :lol:

Honestly I'd really like to understand this stuff but yikes this sounds awfully complicated!

Article is unfortunately behind a paywall the second time I tried to open it. It mentions that with the new Congressional regulations on crypto, large firms will soon allow borrowing against bitcoin holdings. There may be collateralized certificates issued. The 2008 financial crisis was fueled by collateralized mortgages that defaulted, so the concept has fallen out of favor for a while.

Inside her mind
Is anyone else amazed how suddenly Crypto is everywhere, especially in the mainstream media, and I'm not talking about FUD like previous cycles
It seems every day CNBC does 15-minute segments on crypto now taking it seriously as do other networks. However, most normies can't be bothered. I remember a plate telling me her friends think crypto is just a "Fad"that will never take off yet you nearly have 20 states looking at Bitcoin as an asset reserve for example(which gives me personally more confirmation that they know the ecnioomy is cooked, $37 trillion in debt is not sustainable and eventually something DRASTIC OR CHAOTIC will happen)

Trump is pushing crypto legislation like it's nothing for example, Trump made an executive order last week allowing you to purchase Crypto through your 401K. Which will be in effect at the beginning of January 2026. Also allowing banks to transact with crypto and not punish people for buying it etc. This is huge news yet no one seems to care; heck even in this thread no one has mentioned it. I get it, the prices are still far lower than they should be, we should be at a 250K BTC but I digress.....

Are people just fatigued? or don't care? it seems like every week there is a major announcement but the sentiment seems to be bearish due to prices not reflecting it. I do think there will be a point where crypto can't be ignored but it just blows my mind how things are changing so rapidly compared to a year ago.
 

"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 think people just aren't very confident in the current economic situation, which aligns with the precedent that everything is too expensive and spending power is down.

It’s making me concerned about the short term case for being long. Could run another 10-20k but feels a little stretched

I sold the 74 strikes against these, later in the day and basically got a free bull call spread (3c debit) which I closed the following day at 27c. That’s 9x on debit. Idk if anyone following or cares but, it’s the wealth forum so just throwing it out there. The coin was starting to go south so no reason to hold.

I remember a few months ago there were several posters who were talking up bitcoin like there was no tomorrow.

Now that Bitcoin has dropped to 6K and is nearing the point of no return where it costs more to mine the coins than the coins are actually worth(somewhere around 5K), they seem oddly quiet...

When something seems too good to be true it usually is. The technology itself has a lot of promise but it appears bitcoin might be extinct in the near future...
It's 125k buddy ;)

I used to do crypto mining back when it was profitable, but I went with altcoins rather than Bitcoin as many of those are a lot more efficient to mine. The good old days of buying $10 smartphones and having them pay for themselves in less than a month mining Perk...

Attending this market nowadays is like dating a post wall woman with BPD.

2017 and 2021 were teenage and mid 20s dating with young sane girls that created no drama but only gave love.

Below 70,000 now and approaching new lows. How low will it go? At what price level would the average person give up? And a larger question would be if this is happening in a vacuum, or is bitcoin forecasting as a leading indicator for the US economy?
 

"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.
