@soos_mite_ah One final insight I want to add to this thread is the fact that most of these men tend to lean towards following the Red Pill either because it has been popularized by the internet, they've been indoctrinated, and they don't know any other alternatives, or they do know the alternatives but they choose the Red Pill because its the easiest route for them when it comes to attracting women. I have this understanding that people tend to lean towards the easiest route that is most convenient for them when it comes to almost everything in life. Rather than going to the gym and eating healthy, they sit on the couch and eat potato chips all day. Rather than cooking for themselves they go and order pizza delivery. You get my point. So in this case, the Youtube channel "Casey Zander" I shared with you earlier is the difficult route and alternative to Red Pill. Casey teaches men to build their body, build their own business, earn financial independence, practice nofap, etc. But this is difficult for most men to do and most would rather use manipulation techniques to get women because its easier and it gives them the leeway to run away from working on themselves internally.

@Truthboy Be honest with yourself, do you truly understand and know through your own personal experience that life is a dream? Or do you only believe it because you watched Leo's videos and you're taking his word for it? We're all free to do whatever we want in this world of course, but understanding that life is a dream doesn't necessarily justify the fact that you can just go out and kill people, rape women, and steal everything. I mean its your life, but you need to fully understand the consequences of your decisions if you decide to take action on them. Reading this thread seems like its coming from a place of ego, but you're not actively admitting it and using spirituality as a way to justify and deceive yourself.

@soos_mite_ah Definitely agree with a lot of what you're saying. Did they say 50-100 approaches a day? That's a little much, you'd probably have to be out for 24 hours to do that big of a number. In my experience, realistically I was doing maybe 5-20 a day depending on my mood. That's still quite a lot but when it comes to pickup, taking a high volume approach to approaching women usually works best. In the pickup groups I was involved in, we always had this attitude of "we need to approach as many women as possible." It was sort of like we treated it as if it was a sport. At the start of each day we would have to 'warm up' and approach any girl even if we're not attracted to her. And its actually helpful to warm up because you will do a whole lot better with the girls you approach later on. The girls you approach later on are the "hot" ones that you take more seriously in conversation. Plus, when it comes to "playing on the field", you would always have to build up the momentum. Your momentum starts at 0 at the start of each day, then as you approach more and more you start to build up the momentum. I remember being at the peak of the momentum multiple times, we would call this "God Mode" or a "Flow state." It sort of feels like a high, its a state of euphoria where you just don't give a shit about what anyone thinks of you and approaching random people comes so naturally and easily for you. Also conversations become so effortless. This is the complete opposite of social anxiety. There's definitely something up with their approach when guys report a small number of success, but at the same time we've also always thought of it as a "numbers game." 1 out of 10 girls will like you and give you their number, and 1 out of 10 of those numbers will go on a date with you. That's just how it works. I think every other PUA would agree with me on this, its always a 5-10% chance of getting a desired result. But of course pickup is a skill you can develop to increase your odds of success. I'll share with you my newbie numbers I did within' a year of pickup. I truly believe I had a wrong approach to pickup so I didn't have a lot of success, plus I was a newbie. Within' a year, I did over 500 cold approaches. I aimed for around 10-20 per day, went out 4-5 days a week to clubs, streets, malls, libraries, universities, etc. Wasn't working full time at the time and so I was out for usually 6-8 hours a day. Within' those 500+ approaches I got around 60-70 phone numbers. Unfortunately I didn't really get any dates out of those phone numbers, probably because I sucked at texting or I didn't call them, OR I just wasn't actually interested so I didn't contact them. So about a 10% chance of getting a number, and 0-1% chance of getting a date. Yup that's what I liked about part 2 and found it relevant to this conversation so I recommended it to you. Leo did pickup too back in the day so I think that's what influenced the ideas he talked about in part 1. Its similar to the social pressure of how girls who sleep around are seen as "sluts", but in the female's case its the complete opposite. Perhaps its not feminine for a woman to be sleeping around? As a guy its seen as a "cool" thing to go out and get laid and get your "lay count" up. Probably because getting laid adds to your social proof as a man if you know how to get into a girl's pants, because of course a lot of guys see women as difficult and it takes confidence to talk to women and eventually get the desired result. In the girl's case, getting laid is probably so easy because every guy wants to sleep with them (depending on their looks). So in the girl's case, I would imagine they have to be a lot more selective with who they choose to open their legs to.

@soos_mite_ah Exactly. The whole idea of Red Pill in my understanding revolves around the idea of using specific tips & tricks to get yourself to seem like a "High Value Man" and to make the woman feel insecure about herself because this is supposed to make the woman "chase" you. They believe it makes the woman chase you because they take the idea that being standoffish or being non-needy is attractive and take it over the top, because nobody wants someone who is needy right? But I think its just different when you use it as a manipulative technique. In most cases I would assume girls would be able to sense that the guy is faking it, but I guess it depends on how good the guy's manipulation skills are. Another important thing to point out is that, people who follow Red Pill teachings truly believe that there's only two paths in life when it comes to dating, you're either Red Pill or Blue Pill. I assume you understand what Blue Pill is, but if not, its basically the "Beta Male" approach to dating. Being needy, being weak, doing everything the girl wants, basically kissing ass and being the girl's bitch. And in general, most girls don't like this type of behavior so that's why men lean towards the Red Pill, and try to become more Alpha. In a sense, this is all true. In general, girls do like the stronger men so Red Pill has some partial truths to it. Although it becomes a problem when it creates an entire cult and simple dating tips turn into the exploitation of women. They don't really know any other alternative. But here's an example of an alternative, "Casey Zander" on Youtube. He's against the whole idea of Red Pill & Blue Pill. Check him out if you want to understand more, but basically he promotes the idea of ACTUALLY being a "High Value" man. Getting your life together, building your body, confidence, etc. Red Pill teaches you how to SEEM like you're a high value male. So I really like his work, I really think his teachings are the best alternative to Red Pill because it transcends the idea of Red Pill. He talks mainly about how you should focus more about improving the product, rather than improving your sales pitch. Because Red Pill is all about the sales pitch. And of course the product in this case is improving who you are. For sure. You might've watched it before but Leo has a really good video titled "How To Be a Man - Part 2 (Advanced Version)" Where he talks about the healthy approach to being a man, manipulation tricks out the window and becoming more authentic. Interesting, didn't really know hypergamy was a thing. I feel like this is taught though in movies or even the opposite, but I never really thought much of it. I think hypergamy is more of a common thing with women who are "hotter" than the average woman. The Instagram model type women from Hollywood who get all the attention from men. They most likely see themselves as high value in the dating marketplace so they believe that they deserve the best of the best. The thing is though, when guys go out and do pickup they don't know any of these girls at all. These are cold approaches, they literally just meet them there and then. At the mall, at the club, in the streets, in the library, at the gym, wherever it is. So they just assume the Red Pill is correct, and they use the same sales pitch on every single girl hoping it would work out. Its like door-to-door sales, they know any of these people and they use the same sales pitch on every single person hoping they make a sale. Its a different story though of course when its someone you know from your workplace or your friend group for example. In that case yes I agree attraction should come naturally, not using manipulation tricks to try to get them to like you.

@vinc3nc lol I'm done talking to you. Apparently you don't think for yourself and only parrot information "experts" tell you and you believe it like its a religion, ok. You're in denial and afraid my predictions might be correct lmao I really don't care who's right or wrong honestly, why do you have to try to convince me so hard that the "experts" are right? Conversation over, stop bumping this thread

It still could wick to $8K, that's why I said 8-10K. But overall, around the 10K level is where the uptrend line is. Uh, I never said it was. That's sort of what you're saying though if you think price will shoot up in a straight line to touch $100K in the graph you showed me. Yes we've seen how BTC behaves, in 2017 we saw $20K and a crash to $3.5K. That's what I'm personally looking for to confirm where price will go. Anyone who says otherwise is just gambling in my opinion. We're either going to break ATH or the bubble has popped. He's bigger on the fundamentals of crypto. I don't follow his TA as much. My TA is my own analysis, outside of crypto I trade Forex and been learning from Forex traders. Crypto is definitely a harder market to analyze though I'll say that. Uh.. what? Stop projecting your cringeness onto me. I say $100K is possible because everyone predicts $100K in 2021, even all the experts & gurus. I'm just a random guy, and I don't want to claim I know more than them. Plus if everyone believes it and is all in it together then that would act as a self-fulfilling prophecy. Everything to me is just a POSSIBILITY. I'm NOT claiming anything about where price will CERTAINLY go.

I hope so too, just don't take my word on it lol And oh, just watched a part of the video you linked and he's sort of saying the same thing That's possible too. We've already seen alts rally quite a bit over the past week or so but it wasn't anything too too special. Also ETH already touched its 2017 all-time high, could it go higher? Who knows we'll see. But if we're saying BTC will come crashing down then I would assume alts will go down along with it, we've already seen this happen in the past. The only thing though is that we haven't seen the alt coin market cap reach the 2017 market cap high at around 473B. We've barely reached 400B.

You think my opinions are mainly based on what other people say? Aw thanks I take that as a compliment . I think for myself for the most part, everything I've ever said has been my own opinion and is not something someone else said. The TA is what I do on my own. Yes I do listen to other gurus but I still form my own opinion. I only follow two crypto Youtube channels (Datadash & Chico Crypto), and I think they're bullish from here for the most part. There have been 3 instances where you haven't specified the timeframe in conversation. Ask and I'll kindly quote these 3 instances here for you. Why is it a "problem" when I'm literally saying my opinion is short-term? All I'm saying is $10K-$20K is possible, its not like I'm saying BTC will go to $0. Here's my final opinion, I'm neutral about where price could go from here. IF we see the break of $30K support then I'm bearish, price could go to $20K or $10K. We've already seen price make a new lower low for the week and touch $29K recently but it hasn't broken the $30K support level. IF we break above $40K and make new all-time highs then I'm bullish. But for the most part I'm bearish from here short-term. Below is what my chart looks like. In the bearish case it'll break $30K & $20K then touch the green uptrend line around $10K-$13K. That's why I call around $10K. We're still in January and 2022 is far from now, $100K might be possible still especially when everyone is calling it. If everyone believes it then maybe that's enough for it to work out. But then there's the possibility they're just saying that to manipulate everyone to push the price up. John McAfee back then said he'll eat his dick on national TV if BTC doesn't hit $500K-$1M by 2020. That language is so manipulative and that's way too optimistic. Obviously we didn't hit $500K or $1M, and he didn't eat his dick. He probably just said that to get people to push the price up. My chart:

I think you mean between 2013 and 2014 and yes I see there’s two impulse or parabolic moves. But back then was different because we both already know it takes a smaller amount of money back then to see jumps like that. And its funny, whether you realize it or not you’re looking for a confirmation bias to prove a point. “Nope can’t be like 2017 there’s only one parabolic move here, no not 2016, hmm let’s see here.. ah yes its more like the 2013 one with two parabolic moves! This one certainly confirms my bias!” It depends on what timeframe you’re looking at. Again, you’re not acknowledging the importance of timeframes. The higher the timeframe the stronger it is. I didn’t clarify my bad. If it dips below $30K then that means it has created a new lower low and broken support. With broken support would mean price could push down further to $20K and potentially $10K. Then, the parabolic move is certainly over. Already clarified this above. Bull run bull market same thing. But it really depends on the timeframe once again. If we’re talking short term within’ 1 Year then yes I think it could be over. If we’re talking 10 years sure we can say Bitcoin is on a bull run to the upside. I’ve seen this picture before already. Could we really hit the top at $100K who knows. But if you actually know TA outside of crypto you would know that channels don’t perfectly bounce in between the lines. Its possible BTC drops at this point then reaches the top at $100K at a later point. It doesn’t have to get there in a perfectly straight line.

Yes, we don't know, you don't know and I don't know either. Yes the environment is different, we're in a severe recession & global pandemic with money printing, 0% interest rates, etc. You don't think it wasn't as euphoric even though we've already seen price double the previous ATH within' 4-5 months? After the break of the 2017 ATH, it took us 1 month to get to $40K. I'm measuring the movements on my chart at this very moment. In 2017 after the 3rd correction of the bull run from $7.5k to $6K, it took 1 month to get from $6K to the ATH ($19.8K). Back to current price action, if a $20000+ increase from $19.8K to $41K in 1 month isn't euphoric enough for you then how can 2017's $6K-$19.8K jump in one month be more euphoric? Biden borrowing more money isn't a determining factor that would continue to keep the markets propped up. Watch the video. There's several other fundamental reasons that could lead to a market crash. What I'm personally looking for to confirm the current bull run is over, is if we see price push below $30K. Then that's when I'll say its over for sure. If we see $20K that wouldn't be a correction imo, that's a 50% crash and could push a lot lower. And yes I know, 2017 had corrections. But that was before the parabolic move when price was moving slow. Once the parabolic move happens there aren't any significant corrections in between. When you talk about price going up & up & up with no chance to buy, that's what I mean by a parabolic move. 2017 had ONE parabolic move up, and we've already seen the ONE parabolic move for 2020/2021. Now price is pushing towards $30K as we speak. If you look at previous years as well, in 2013 it had ONE parabolic move from $11 to $261 then that cycle was over. In 2014, ONE parabolic move from $100 to $1100. So again, the argument that we saw corrections at 3k, 5k, 7k doesn't apply here because that was not during or after parabolic moves. The value of the dollar decreasing is a good fundamental to keep in mind but it doesn't necessarily confirm the current short-term (next couple of months) move will continue. BTC is overpriced right now and it will go to whatever price the market currently thinks its worth. Hitting $100K this year still might be possible who knows, all I'm saying is the current move is over. A drop to $10K-$20K is possible before we move towards $100K. And even though I still believe $100K is possible by December but we see $10K within' the next couple months then that still means the current bull run is over. A new bull run will happen later. Time will tell. Edit: Also, people wanting to buy isn't as important as how much they're willing to put in. 100,000 people could be waiting to buy but if all they have is $5K each then that's nothing. What's more important is if they have billions of dollars in cash. I'm sure everyone wanted to buy when BTC was $19K in 2017 also, and once started to drop all they did was buy into the crash. Demand will drop as price starts to crash. So people wanting to buy doesn't mean anything. Tell me who these people are and how much money they have that's more important.

Sure, if you say so. For your understanding on this topic, I'll further share with you my personal experiences of the person I became getting into pickup back in the day. Some PUA terminology for you if you don't already know, when I say set, "set" basically refers to a group of people or group of women specifically. Using it in a sentence: "Hey let's go approach that 2-set." In this example a "2-set" is a group of 2 girls. Like I was saying previously, the main issue here is the teachings of the Red Pill mentality. It spreads quickly like a wildfire in the pickup community. We learned Red Pill either from the teachers at in-person seminars or the Youtube videos, or a combination of both. Pickup is best done within' a circle of other PUAs so everyone would go out together in groups. The PUA community in my city had a Whatsapp group. If someone was out solo, they can literally text the group and ask if anyone is out so they can approach women together. And you best believe, everyone in the community watched all these Red Pill videos too. So if everyone else is learning from the videos and talks about it or implements the theory of it in a set, and you're around them, then that sort of acts as a confirmation bias that the Red Pill teachings work. Plus, if guys go out and try to implement the theory themselves and the set works out then that acts as another confirmation bias. Being a part of the Red Pill & Pickup community for a long while can lead you to become delusional. You become a narcissist living in a world of lies using manipulation to get his way. This all leads to the aggressive approach you're talking about. In my experience this is what happened to me. I've done hundreds of cold-approaches within' the span of a year, got so many numbers, ended up becoming a complete asshole. All the Red-Pill talk seemed like it was the just the complete truth in my mind. "Women love sex, women like this and that, she's looking for this, alpha-male, dominance, don't be a beta-male, women love jerks, blah blah blah." And if you ever tried to question it, there's always some sort of justification to back it up. So with all of this being said, its not easy as telling a guy in a delusional state of mind he shouldn't be aggressive, because it wouldn't work, he's delusional. The end result of my pickup journey lead to, like I said, me becoming a narcissist, an asshole, was an asshole to my family, asshole to female co-workers I had back then, asshole to people in general, ended up getting me fired from a job because not only was I an asshole to the workers there, I was in such a delusional state that I couldn't even do the job properly. One of my pickup friends back in the day told me he also got fired from a job too, and I assume its because of the person he became in pickup. On top of all this, I was also involved in a Pyramid Scheme before I even got into pickup. And I was an asshole back then too. It is strange though, obviously they didn't teach Red Pill, but they taught a type of arrogance around being an "entrepreneur." "I'm better than everyone, 9-5 is a SCAM, School is a SCAM, we don't watch TV we're too good for that, hahahah look at this minimum wage worker wearing an outfit." So I'm writing this right now and wondering why I became an asshole in the Pyramid Scheme back then even though I wasn't taught Red Pill. Maybe the problem is the manipulative behavior after all? Or the two tie in together, the teachings & the manipulative behavior. PLUS, talking to a ridiculous amount of random people per day makes you desensitized to human interaction in general. Back in the day I would also troll the hell out of people no giving a damn about what they thought of me. They could scream at me or ridicule me but I was so far up my ass I didn't give a shit, seriously. It wasn't a healthy type of "I don't care what people think," it was an unhealthy type of it. In conclusion, I know I was saying we need to empathize and accept these people but I was speaking from the absolute perspective like you were saying. Acceptance may have been the wrong word. After reading this hopefully I gave you some further understanding about what its like to be a PUA. With more understanding maybe you may have more empathy.

I skimmed through what you said in a previous post about needing more money to push up the price. And yes you're saying the % increase will be smaller next cycle, we're already up 1000% from the March 2020 COVID crash lows. I don't think there would be a prolonged bear market like in 2017/2018, it could be shorter this time. Not 3 years like in 2017, but maybe a 1 or 2 year bear market. Compare current price action to 2017, in 2017 it went parabolic then it was over. Current price action right now looks like the top of what we see in the 2017 bubble. We're already seeing price slowing down and we've been under $40K for almost 2 weeks now. What I'm saying is, I personally think the parabolic move is over, in other words the bull cycle is over. IN MY OPINION. Based on fundamentals + TA. Watch the video below for the fundamentals I'm looking at. I think crypto was pushing up this time because of the same reason the stock market is getting pushed up. The stock market has been making new all time highs over the past year even though the economy is shit and worse than what we saw in the great depression. Ever wondered why? I have a video for you, Biden will crash the markets, and Crypto will be included I'm sure:

Well that's what you think but that's not how it works. You need a specific timeframe in the equation to measure a percentage increase. 24H, Weekly, Monthly, 1Y, 5Y, for example. If you're going to say the 2017 percentage increase was almost 2000% from $1K then that's measuring the percentage increase for the year. But now you're disregarding the percentage increase between March 2020 $4000 low to the ATH, and only measuring what's beyond the break of the ATH? You're the one here who has no clue about anything. I didn't say it was a 10000% increase. I'm saying back then 1 Bitcoin was under $1, and if it went from under $1 to over $100 then that's over a 10000% increase. So if we saw a 10000% increase in 2013 or 2014 then with your logic, are you going to say we're going to continue seeing 10000% increases? "Oh we saw a 2000% increase in 2017 so we're going to see another 2000% increase in 2021, and next cycle too, and the next one."

While I'm all about improving ourselves in every single way possible, spiritually, financially, socially, etc. I don't think its reasonable for us to judge or demonize these people just because they're not like us or the average human. Just putting this out there, what I'm saying in this thread and everything else I've said so far is just me trying to exercise Tier 2 level thinking and is mainly for the sake of having an intellectually stimulating conversation. And so, I'm trying to look at these things from God's perspective. The whole entire basis of my argument is the fact that God created everything, these behaviors are a part of life and so its somewhat selfish of us to demonize these sorts of behaviors or people. Because the only reason anyone would get triggered by "evil behavior" is because of the fact that it threatens our way of living, the ego's way of living. But you guys don't really give a shit if insects attack another insects territory, even though the insect getting attacked thinks other insects attacking their territory is the worst thing in the entire world. Or you don't give a shit if millions of microscopic bacteria kill millions of other microscopic bacteria every single hour, because it doesn't affect your very own way of living. And I am not blaming women even though you think I am. Just to make some sense of it, we can say its more like I'm blaming the nature of reality. Reality occurs, and certain things are just bound to happen. Because of the way reality is and how human nature is, all these social evils come about. And all these social evils come and go. We can take a look at history, study all the social evil in the past, and find out that they do not exist today. Because over time, society advanced itself and got us to where we are today. Overall, we can demonize these people as much as we want, start riots, protest, but I personally won't be a part of all that, society will fix itself. I think this is a subjective opinion. Again, I'm all in favor of the improvement of society, improving ourselves, but I'm not going to lose sleep over this type of stuff is what I'm basically saying.

Not offended but its weird you're assuming I know nothing about TA based on nothing. Are you seriously measuring the percentage increase starting from the break of the 2017 ATH til now? That literally makes no sense. To find out the 1 year percentage increase you need to take the price from 1 year ago from now and measure the percentage increase from that price to the latest high of the year. Or you can take the earliest low of the year and measure the percentage increase it took to get to the latest high. With that being said, Bitcoin is up 500% for the year, or up nearly 1000% from the 2020 March lows. Not 100%. And yes you're right, it was different back then. A 2000%-3000% increase back then was easy, it only took nearly a $300B increase in market cap. Bitcoin's current market cap is now around $700B, a 2-3x increase compared to the previous market cap. And good job, I think in a later post you said you understand this, that it would take more money to see these larger percentage increases as price gets higher and as time goes by. To take the previous percentage increases and project a price target by assuming it will perform the same way as last time wouldn't make sense. Bitcoin once costed pennies and percentage increases back then were probably over 10000%. Are you going to assume we'll see another 10000% increase?

@Preety_India Lol. You're not seeing how my perspective is actually a bigger picture perspective coming from a SD Tier 2 level. You're looking at it from a Green perspective and creating all these conclusions in your mind of what I'm implying here. "You're having the "enable the abuse and enable the abuser" mentality." "This is toxic." One sided thinking" etc. etc. Of course you're triggered, you're looking at it different level of understanding. Sure, we can't weed out social evil with this type of thinking, but we can have an understanding in our minds that we must empathize and accept these people. Society will advance itself on its own over time and weed out these social evils on its own. With the help of all the Green people including you, this will move society forward. To incorporate Yellow or Turquoise thinking into this would not necessarily work.

@Preety_India You didn't tag me but sounds like this is a reply to my previous post. And that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that by their very own existence and nature, they're indirectly creating a much larger issue. Not that they owe men anything. Let's use another example and apply this type of thinking to money. With the very existence of money and the fact that money doesn't come easy for most, money indirectly creates all sorts of crime. Scamming, creation of drugs, theft, gang violence, etc. you name it. Not that people deserve to have this money or is entitled to it, its the mere fact that money itself exists. Is money or women to blame here? No of course not. I'm just saying, with the existence of what people desire, must come the existence of undesirable results. So, to understand this means we must accept all the "evil" of this world because its a part of life and it exists for a good reason.

@soos_mite_ah You make some pretty good points, its nice to hear a female's perspective on this. I don't think the main problem is the act of pickup per se, but the main problem is this "Red Pill" mentality that is often taught within the pickup community. What you just described in this thread is the behavior of guys who adopt and act on these Red Pill teachings. The act of pickup has been popularized by RSD I would say, and RSD teaches/taught Red Pill. I'm sure there's also other popular Youtube pickup channels that guys follow and they all have the same thing in common, they all teach Red Pill. Another Youtube channel like this I can think of is "Stephiscold." So there's the problem, guys find out about pickup through the internet and adopt and implement what they've been taught from these teachers, Red Pill. Here's another perspective for you to think about, after reading this maybe instead of being triggered you can empathize with these men: Most of the guys who do pickup are guys who are just broken on the inside. Maybe they've never been loved before, never had a girlfriend, or they've recently dealt with a painful breakup. So these guys who get into pickup are mainly motivated to do it because of some sort of trauma or lack of love and/or self-love. While deep down most men are wired to desire a meaningful connection with a woman, pickup doesn't teach how to get this connection with a woman and turns men into a piece of shit. It only teaches men how to get laid. So men coming into pickup might have the intention to find a meaningful connection in the beginning, but once you become a part of the pickup community, these Red Pill ideas snowball and get to you. You have other PUA's reinforcing these ideas to you, you have the teachers talking about these ideas, and you have all the videos you watch, etc. Plus the act of pickup itself requires a trial and error approach. You have to approach so many girls to get good. You talk about having a less aggressive and healthy approach to talking to women, but after so many failed attempts and frustrations it can lead to the aggressive approach. And this is an important point I want to make, women are so difficult that men have created an entire fucking cult around women attraction. Essentially women as a collective has indirectly created the act of pickup and the Red Pill cult whether they realize it or not. No not just because women are hot and men are horny, its because women are fucking difficult. Dating or getting women in general is a struggle for most men so they resort to pickup or rape or kidnapping. This same idea can also be used to justify and understand all the other "bad" behaviors in the world. Theft? Well its mainly created by poverty, wanting something quick, and the fact that money doesn't come easy for them. So you need to understand the bigger picture here. You're basically judging these men for being a piece of shit while there's much bigger problems behind it. The reason I personally got into pickup back then, was because dating was (and is still) hard for me, I've never had a girlfriend. I just had a strong craving for love and intimacy. I was and am just a broken man, its painful not having someone to be there to care for you and love you. To talk to and share your life with. And yes I do understand you're talking about the aggressive approach and how men need to have a healthy approach to pickup, but just understand that there's much bigger issues at play here. Hypothetically speaking, in order to solve this entire problem you need to fix a whole lot. Its not as simple as just judging them for being aggressive and woohoo everything is magically fixed.

@LfcCharlie4 I'm talking a short-term prediction. Sure its still possible we reach $100K this year but from now on moving forward its also possible we can see it slowing down for the next couple months, in my opinion. We're still in January, experts claim $100K-$300K in December 2021. Is it possible? Maybe, but its definitely not going to get up there in a straight line. This recent 30% drop created some fear around the market so now we're slowing down, we've been stuck under $40K for the past week now and IMO price could drop further. I could be wrong of course. Do I think BTC will reach $500K one day, yes. But that's a long-term price prediction that could happen within' a decade. None of these experts are talking about a short-term price prediction (next couple of months) and potential pullbacks. Also, we can't just blindly trust all these gurus or experts. There's also a possibility that they're not on our side. They're here to make money, just like everyone else. In order for them to win, a good chunk of people also have to lose. That's how a pump & dump works. Its possible they're selling the false hope of $100K in 2021 just to dump their tokens at $40K. Lol Raoul Pal sold his Bitcoin in 2017 when it reached $2K and called it a bubble. old video but who cares: If he didn't know it was going to $20K back then then he certainly doesn't know where its going this time. No one really knows with bubbles.

@vinc3nc Lol so cringe. "Yeah I listened to some random experts on youtube and they're always right and I invested since 2017 im an expert too." If you've been in the market since 2017 then you would be smart enough to realize what happened in 2017-2018. Everyone was calling $100K BTC in 2017, even all the "experts" that you probably heard of. It's all hype. This market is heavily manipulated. I didn't even apply TA. TA isn't effective in manipulated markets. Your tone sounds a bit angry, perhaps you're in denial?

Who risks to gain 0.1% from all their previous trades then suddenly decides "oh I'm going to risk more than half my trading capital." That's an unusual, rare case scenario. What do people call it, they say it came out of left field? Yeah I think that's what the saying is. If you're an experienced trader then how do you trade? Yes I have acted on my "paintings" and they played out well at least half the time. Obviously I've been wrong many times in the past, that's just part of the game. To call them "paintings" yeah great way to downplay the idea of TA. I don't admit to being a great trader, never said I was. All I did was share my opinion then you and Leo came in and started bashing my analysis. Have I gotten consistent results? No I still consider myself beginner/intermediate. In the beginning stages its difficult. I would expect the results to come in with 5-10 years of experience. End of discussion.

Not if you're using it as an indicator to exit your positions. I'm just saying based on what I've seen, this is the time to take some profits. If I exit my positions right now, I don't lose money. If I'm wrong and Bitcoin continues to go up I don't lose money either, only potential profits. I'm just being extra cautious at this point in time. Are 90% of those "traders" actually real traders? Ask yourself that question. Your dog could put $1 into the market and be considered one of those "90% of traders." And of course even the real traders lose money, that's just part of the game. It says "90% of traders lose money" not "90% of traders lose all their money." I could lose $3 and just like your dog who put in $1, I will be added as a statistic to one of those "90% of traders." And no not everyone draws the same conclusion, people have different perspectives. There's bulls & bears. Democrats & Republicans. Which is what I'm doing. That number was just thrown out there. I'd love to be the trader who's right 99% of the time and wrong 1% of the time. That means nothing? That would mean a great trader in my opinion.

I guess I'm a fool then if I take the time to do my own research and watch your Psychedelic videos to educate myself on how to properly dose & trip. Compared to the people who do psychedelics for fun at parties without any prior education on what Psychedelics are? Yeah I'm definitely the fool.

Fools lost millions because they didn't know what they were doing. Anyone can come put money into the markets in hopes of realizing a profit. Your mom, your sister, your brother, your aunt, your cat, your dog. That's where the money that is lost is coming from, from the people who don't know anything. My 65 year old aunt puts money into crypto, does she know anything about trading or what a Dogecoin is? Hell no. If she loses all her money that's all on her for not understanding how to trade or understand market cycles. You write a disclaimer in your Psychedelics videos because of how dangerous Psychedelics can be, but we all know its only dangerous for the ones who don't know anything. Lose all your money in the market = Ignorance. Die from plugging LSD in your butt = Ignorance.

They just say that for legal purposes. Similar to how you would write a disclaimer in your Psychedelic videos.
