    Who cares?

    Why do you care? About those memories? About fitting in?

    You don't need to be accepted by a group of people to be a valuable person. This is a problem men have now that they have more than ever, getting caught up in their own bs. Go work out. Go make something. Clean up. Write some lyrics, record some music, do something. Take that feeling of sadness, turn it to drive, anger, and do something. Idle hands are always up to no good. You've won the lottery. You're a male in a first world country. You can do so much but you'd rather sit there and feel bad about yourself. Again, why?

    I had to get things out of my system. I did drugs and partied for a few years. Now, I focus on my work to keep me sane. Men need hobbies. It occupies the mind.

    Drop me a PM any time if you want some honest advice. Take care of yourself.

    #COTI is ruining my life.

    Recently I (26) started dating wayyyy out of my usual type. A good Christian girl (22) with ambitions for a family, a steady income, a young marriage, and sweater-vest autumn family pictures. She loves to quilt, knit, and make candles. She's head over heels for me, idk why, I think she's kind of going through a bad boy phase and I'm the closest thing she can find to a badass cause I have arm tattoos and I brood a lot, idk.

    She's been bugging me for a couple weeks to come meet her family. This week she gave really good head and it made me realize I have some genuine, serious feelings for this girl. So I was like "ya know what ok." She had me come to a family dinner. Fine, free dinner? h--- yeah. I'm having a really nice time meeting her family and talking to them. They seemed like super cool people, living the hamptom dream. Hampton house, hampton spouse, hampton blouse, hampton mouth. I was talking to her dad, who owns a construction company. He seemed hella cool. But then her mom joined us, and that's when problems began.

    She comes at me all passive-aggressive like "oh I'm sure you've had LOTS of girlfriends," trying to find out if I'm a manwhore. I had been listening to a lot of COTI lately, so I blurted out the first thing that came to mind.

    "I don't bash woman, but I'll throw a b---- in a sleeper. I been this way since Rakim was kicking a speaker“


    *Oooooohhhh s---.*

    Her mom's eyes go wide, eyebrows s---t up to the f---ing ceiling. Her dad gives a slow upwards nod with furrowed eyebrows like they do in those fancy tv shows when someone says something stupid, like I just did.

    I start sweating. I legitimately like this girl and I just said that I would throw her in a sleeper. There's no way these people would no that's the best compliment I can give a girl. God f---ing dammit.

    But it gets way, way worse.

    We're eating dinner later, and suddenly the sweet little granny slaps her forehead with goes all old lady "Oh nooo!" Everyone goes all quiet and this poor little lady stands up all distressed. "I forgot the crescent rolls!"

    My instincts were triggered. I kicked my chair out from under me in my haste to get up. I jumped onto the table and sprinted to where granny stood, my feet flinging gravy and mashed potatoes and baked beans all over my girlfriend's family. I build up speed and flying sidekick granny full on in the face, screaming:

    "COTI ALBUM OF THE YEAR f--- DRAKE !"

    I fell on top of her with my head in between her boobs, as if Joss Whedon himself directed it.

    Needless to say that's where the evening ended for me. I apologized and shuffled towards the door. Couldn't even look my GF in the eye.

    Her dad escorted me to the door. "Why don't you get going home, my man?" He said. He put a paternal hand on my shoulder and guided me outside. "I like you man, but I think we just gotta give it some time." I'm like yeah man I understand, I really like your daughter, I think I was just nervous. He looks me in the eye and says,

    "She likes you too. In fact, I think she loves you like 50 Cent loves Kidd kidd." That's when I realized her dad was Lloyd Banks. This was Lloyd Banks secret white family.

    So, my buddy from high school met a girl online from thailand about eight months ago. They started 'dating' and about four months ago she convinced him to move to Thailand to take care of her family. He has a pretty large inheritance he got from insurance from his parents dying in a car crash. So in Thailand westerners can't own land, so when he bought a house for them he had to give her the money to put it in her name.
    Last night we were talking and he said she won't ever have sex with him or be around him naked, and she says its cause they aren't married and he thinks its a cultural thing. He said she does give him head.

    What's the easiest way to tell him that hes dating a guy and just bought him a house?

    So to make a long story short...I recently got out of a five year relationship and I'm looking to embark on a quarter life crisis journey out of the country since I've never traveled outside of the US as an adult.

    I'm thinking about going to Mexico City, then heading down through southern Mexico to Guatemala and Belize. I'm open to suggestions for places/countries to go though. Also any advice for best practices in terms of being thrifty/staying safe/not committing any cultural faux pas/anything I should know in general/other suggestions.

    I took Spanish for five years and I remember a lot of the basics but I'm def gonna brush up on it and I'm sure some of it will come back to me pretty fast.

    I'm also debating whether or not to take my old laptop so I can do some freelance work on the go and not have to worry about money so much...but taking a laptop also seems like a hassle and I wouldn't wanna get it stolen (which is why I'd take my old laptop).

    Thanks!

    This is a bit of a switch-up from the last couple posts, but I wanted to relay some of the general trading advice that has been given to me over the past couple months by people who know their s--- and have millions invested...I've pretty much failed at every single one of these at one point or another so odds are you may be faced with them if you get even semi-serious about this stuff. Here's my lessons learned:

    No one ever lost money by taking a profit
    Don't be afraid to sell out your principal investment + some profit after making gains. Crypto is volatile. Unless you're long holding a coin and it wouldn't bother you if it were to plummet to $0.00, then feel free to play with house money by taking your initial out.


    Don't panic sell
    Don't do it. Bitcoin "crashed" 30% six times in 2017. ‪Each "crash" has been followed by an increase of: 76%, 237%, 183%, 165%, and 152%. The same is true for altcoins...unless it's a shitcoin or a scam then they've had a way of bouncing back after dips.
    25551956_10215366943949097_8722038128473516523_n.jpg



    HODL

    Fun fact: the term "HODL" isn't an acronym for "Hold On for Dear Life", but it originates from this poor soul years ago and has become a meme:
    upload_2018-1-6_21-15-42.png

    (hence, the "HODLGANG" mention group name... join here)

    Unless s--- is REALLY shi--ing the fan, then hodl your coins and you'll see them correct soon enough. Dips WILL happen. s--- will go sideways. But crypto has a way of coming back stronger than previous. As the saying goes:
    25659931_1989571841069701_2258699494618771801_n.jpg


    Don't fall victim to FUD

    "FUD" = Fear, Uncertainty, & Doubt. There's so many false rumors and word flipping being perpetuated across crypto that if you sell your position (or buy into one) based on unconfirmed news then you're going to end up regretting it later. Take a look at Ripple. Two days ago, Coinbase's CEO tweeted that they hadn't made a decision to add new coins. Media sites took this as opportunity to twist the verbiage, saying that Coinbase confirmed that they will not be adding Ripple. In return, people panic sold and XRP took a large hit. FUD.


    Buy the rumor, sell the news
    Repeatedly, coins have stated that they will have some "big news" coming in a future announcement. And repeatedly, the value will increase leading up to the big announcement, only to have the news fall short and the price plummet. Buy the rumor, let it rise, sell just prior to the announcement, then buy back on the inevitable dip.


    Buy the dips
    In the example above, the smartest people don't sell, but take the opportunity to buy. Noobs panic sell on the regular. Experienced traders get rich off of it. FYI: I had set a series of stop-losses set on Ripple the other day and they all hit, so I ended up selling out of a portion of my XRP holdings during the dip...which brings me to my next point...


    Be very careful when setting stop-losses
    Back it up: what's a stop-loss? A stop-loss is a conditional sell that you can place on many of the exchanges that allows you to automatically place a sell order for X coins at X price when the value hits X. Basically, this:
    upload_2018-1-6_20-58-56.png

    ^in this example, when Ripple hits a price of 0.00015010, my account will automatically place a sell order for 500 XRP at the asking price of 0.00015000

    I've learned the hard way that crypto can dip hard and then jump right back up within minutes, triggering stop-loss sell orders. I've woken up to find that the coin asking price was worth more than when I went to sleep, but because it had a flash crash during the night, I had sold my position. Because of this, I learned my lesson to be more careful about setting stop-losses and to use them much more infrequently.

    In the case of my Ripple, I set a series of stop-loss orders, selling a portion of my coins incrementally at different price points. Even then, I lucked out because Ripple didn't immediately bounce back (but it very well could have).

    Many investors use a technique called "fibonacci retracement" which uses the fibonacci sequence (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,etc..) for placing both sell and buy orders. Investopedia can describe it better than me.


    Don't buy based off of an advertisement you see on facebook and/or a celebrity endorsement you see on twitter/instagram
    Those coins are typically s--- and are pump and dump schemes and/or scams to begin with.


    As BTC goes up, your altcoin charts will go down
    This took me quite a while to fully grasp, but if following on a BTC pairing chart, it will look like things are plummeting as BTC goes on a rise. In reality, your value is going up. Ex: Bitcoin jumped from $15,000 to $17,000 yesterday (13% jump), so when looking at Ethereum on a BTC-ETH chart for example, it would look like it was dropping. Really, it was dropping in BTC value, but it was actually going UP in $ value:

    upload_2018-1-6_21-38-24.png
    ^USDT-BTC. Jumped from $15,000 to $17,000

    upload_2018-1-6_21-39-37.png
    ^BTC-ETH chart. Jumped from $980 to $997, despite looking like it took a shitdive.

    Coinmarketcap.com is a good resource for seeing dual overlays:
    upload_2018-1-6_21-42-58.png

    This said, as BTC props up, there tends to be an elasticity between it and altcoins. Historically, the better bitcoin performs, it pulls the rest of the industry with it.


    FOMO/Chasing/Greed
    Don't chase. There's no telling when a coin will stop spiking and will start falling. If you weren't in on the coin before, then try to avoid jumping in while it's surging. Wait for it to settle or dip and then jump in then if you want in on the future action. It's way too easy to fall victim to FOMO and hop in but only to realize that you jumped in at the peak and it's now correcting downward.

    Same goes for greed. If you're looking to sell, then have a target in mind and stick to it. You may miss your window and be left with less than you could have previously taken. Which leads me to my next point...


    Setting your asks/bids
    Don't miss an opportunity because you set your bid/ask price 10 satoshis (aka "sats", aka the unit that's used to measure coins: .00000001 = 1 satoshi*) too low/high. I've sat there for a half hour trying to get the PERFECT price for my buy order but only to see my sell price be the next on the books but not get filled...I actually did this this morning. Got greedy and ended up buying-in for something like 200 satoshis more than I could have because I was trying to get at the very bottom of a dip...not worth the time or effort. Set your price at a realistic one so that you can get in/out of your desired position.

    *i'll talk about where "satoshi" comes from in a later thread.


    Most importantly: DYOR
    Do Your Own Research.


    ...and that's it. Pretty much everything general-strategy-wise that I've learned or have been told in one thread. Hope you make some money.

    If received well, I'll continue to make these.

    Idk how old y’all are, but I’d imagine I’m a bit older than most (mid 20s) on here. Was hanging with my folks the other day, they started our family pretty late in life. Both my parents in their 60s and we were just having fun watching random stuff on tv when it just hit me like what life is gonna be without my parents.

    Idk bout y’all, but I’m DUMB close with my parents. We didn’t grow up with much but they gave everything they had to us, and moved mountains to fulfill our needs. From 7 onwards tho my dad got a baller af job and we never really struggled after that. But I still remember what it was like before. Now we all live near them, but all out the house. And d--- dude, helpin my parents do things they used to do all the time lowkey breaks my heart. Seeing them age too. Man even thinking bout only us kids being here and my parents both gone kills me man. I lowkey wanna prepare for it, because I feel like when they both go I’m going to be depressed AF. Neither of my parents were close with theirs, so they made sure they did everything they could to have a strong relationship with all us kids. And aside from one who’s a screw up, they do. And even the screw up they still love to death and would do anything for.. Just that person isn’t in the right place mentally atm..

    Anyways.. I just wanna know if y’all have any ideas how to prepare. I’m not saying it’s coming soon, but with my parents health I honestly don’t see 15 more years.

    "Four women who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant said Donald Trump walked into the dressing room while contestants — some as young as 15 — were changing.

    “I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a man in here,’” said Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA.

    Trump, she recalled, said something like, “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before."
    Mariah Billado, former Miss Vermont Teen USA


    ...



    "Our first introduction to him was when we were at the dress rehearsal and half naked changing into our bikinis.

    To have the owner come waltzing in, when we’re naked, or half naked, in a very physically vulnerable position and then to have the pressure of the people that worked for him telling us to go fawn all over him, go walk up to him, talk to him, get his attention.

    -snip-

    I’m telling you Donald Trump owned the pageant for the reasons to utilize his power to get around beautiful women. Who do you complain to? He owns the pageant. There’s no one to complain to. Everyone there works for him."
    Tasha Dixon, Miss Arizona of 2001








    Trump admitting to it on Howard Stern's Radio Show.

    "Well, I'll tell you the funniest is that before a show, I'll go backstage and everyone's getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it," Trump said. "You know, I'm inspecting because I want to make sure that everything is good."

    "You know, the dresses. 'Is everyone okay?' You know, they're standing there with no clothes. 'Is everybody okay?' And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that.
