Topic: ALSA IceBucketChallenge (Ice Bucket Challenge) I challenge ALL OF YOU! (Read 2223 times)

Can't people on the internet for once stop being such judgemental pricks and just appreciate this is someone goofing around for charity money?

Also I dunno what that gif of the guy and those girls is supposed to be called but I'm going to call it the worm

Guys this is pretty despicable. ALS is a real disease that afflicts hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, and affects the lives of millions of people connected to those with the disease. This challenge -- whatever you may think of the specifics -- has helped raise $100m for research. That is phenomenal! I don't know how any one with a good heart can criticize that.

And yes, we all know someone that was afflicted by this disease. This community owes a huge debt to Hal Finney and I would suggest anyone who cares about bitcoin to take the challenge or make a donation of any size in honor of that man and our debt.

A nice compilation of ice bucket "fails".

The quality is horrible, I don't know what they use to record these videos. Most of them have horrible quality. Are celebrities using older phones? 
For anyone who wants to watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX7NTXSAkwI

This is the best ALS challenge and makes most sense if you ask me. I don't know why people think bad about Charlie Sheen, he has definitely proven that he is a generous person ($10,000 donation) and smart/funny. He even called out others to do this the same way that he did!
Smart guy.

I fully agree! Everybody wants to be a Drama Queen nowadays. Take a look at this shit to see what I mean: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/warm-10-gallon-bucket-of-shit-or-dung-tank-challenge-752520

The best video is Charly Sheen´s video

Hahahahaha I almost fell off chair 

all these stupid trends of people that are repeatinf same bullshit just to have their 15 minutes of fame is disgusting. narcissism + attention deficieny

The guy in the back has to work on his technique !!! .. I cried with laughter

Agreed... It's like those "walks" that people always put together and it makes no sense. How does walking for a cause like cancer help a cause? People already know about cancer, it's not like someone was like, "Cancer?! wow, thanks for walking, because if you didn't walk that 5k, I would never have known what Cancer was...".  I've known lots of people who have volunteered for walks/charities and the "entry fee" always gets gobbled up by the advertising, flyers, shirts, water, police fees, registration tent rentals, etc. The charity gets pennies on the dollar... This ice bucket challenge has wasted over 6 million gallons of water.  

I helped on this project a few years ago, pisses me off that people are pouring water over theirs heads when people in other countries can't get a glass of water.

Heh sorry didn't mean to go off, but the ice bucket gets me angry  

that's a bummer,

set up a FreiCoin wallet, I'll send you a few bucks towards a new android

this is stupid i did it and forgot phone in pocket so i hav to buy new android

To those who are saying I wasted water:
I own my own water well, I did the icebucketchallenge while standing right over the well. As you are aware, the water cycle would dictate that this water, which came from this part of the ground, will return to this part of the ground and as such is not wasted. Any little bit that would have evaporated would have been negligible as the humidity was near 100%.

I would love to help kids in africa get clean drinking water, but I do not think it is financially viable to do so by bottling water here and shipping it across the ocean.  The increased usage of diesel fuel from cargo ships carrying the bottled water would also contribute to the global warming we are all so concerned about.

If you're worried about clean drinking water in Africa, there are many ways to help people out in Africa. Including by donating for clean water wells, desalinization plants, filtration systems, and other devices to gather clean water.

So as you can see, I do not believe I have wasted any water as it came from the ground right where I dumped it on my head, and went back in to the ground right where I dumped it on my head.


Heh yeah it was, but I've seen longer ones. I figure it was best to let people know about matching grants before the actual ice gets dumped on my head, rather than afterwords (since people are more likely to listen to what someone has to say before they dump the water).


Yeah, those are kinda funny though. The number of youtube hits are well worth the bucket of water I'd bet.

Technically, I did.

Someone should challenge Satoshi 

Sometimes the challenge can ends very badly:

Image proxy refused to show it:

Also incentive people to waste water is not exactly the best thing to do

Man, that was a long intro

What is the essence of doing this?

This is the funniest thing I have seen in ages! What is it called?

Thank you for cheering me up. 

seeing this, it seems that this challenge might have caused quite a few neck and head injuries....

The famous youtuber sydicate. did it with a bucket then a barrel of a building then a bulldozer.

Then i saw someone else do it with dry ice. and someone the ice got stuff in his shirt and burned his back

I challenge them all to do this

We must be bringing in some cash right now then, 13 replies and 215 views of this thread yet none of you has accepted the challenge


I'm proud that so many of us can financially contribute to these organizations, BitCoin really is amazing isn't it?





Rock on you guys!

**EDIT
We also have 15 views on youtube, a vote on the video and even a comment. Keep it up guys! I'm excited seeing all this money that must be coming in!

I think you are missing the point... But ignorance is bliss, right?

Sorry for putting up that picture, I didn't mean to interfere with your perfect existence.


***EDIT: And on a side note, people that dump water on their heads are the ones who don't donate. Id rather just donate to a good cause than waste water like that.

Even though this is some sort of 'trend' like the 'selfie' 'vanpersie' or whatever, it's useless. I usually delete people who like posts related to this on facebook or whatever.
This isn't helping anyone, sure it might be fun when 'famous people' challenge each other. It would make more sense if they had to do the challenge and donate if they accepted it. I did see some who stated (after doing it) that they would donate.
Also OP it doesn't make sense to challenge everyone, who would I challenge then?
Should have used a list of people or something. I won't however reveal my identity like this, maybe one could use an Anonymous mask.

Not one fuckin' firefighter thought for a second that it might be a bad idea to hoist a ladder with gallons of water next to live electrical power lines. It gets worse! Neither did any of the college students watching or standing underneath said live power lines awaiting their cold shower.

I now challenge everybody reading this to follow suit for this noble cause: savethenaugas.org

You're lucky

I don't know anyone with ALS.

I'll agree it seems stupid, but to me all that matters is I had fun and I helped prompt awareness of ALS. So It helped someone


BTW, for those of you who don't know...
This reference:


Is about Hal Finney


https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-and-me-hal-finney-155054



I did this out of respect for HIM and others like him who suffer every day and who are encouraged by seeing people do.

yea because its americans fault that africa is poor, gtfo

Dumping freezing cold water on your head, How does that help anybody? hehe maybe it's just me but that was just stupid man  

Because Ice Bucket Challenge: Global ice reservoirs nearly exhausted

And a lot of it is staged/contrived. Look at George Bush's and Bill Gates' attempts. In re. the latter, recall that they have 24 hours to comply, so Bill upon hearing of the challenge who knows when opts to build a contraption. Note that there's no ice, thus probably warm water. Same warm water that Bush prob used. At least they could've used fake ice.

In re. the pic above, next week there'll be an HIV challenge consisting of a food fight.

That's right! All this is just idiotic what they are doing

The reason I don't like the Ice bucket challenge...

How does dumping a bucket of water over your head help ALS?  It doesn't.

Dumping the water is what you do in lieu of a donation.  All these people proudly showing off how they would rather not donate money to a good cause.   

Hi everyone,

As you most know, the ALSA IceBucketChallenge is sweeping the nation. I haven't seen too many cryptocoiners doing this so I decided I would go a head and start it.

I am challenging everyone of you to do this! We all live in a crypto world, and I guarantee you we all know someone RIGHT HERE ON THE FORUMS who has ALS. So let's make the entire world see that cryptocoiners are fun loving and care about our world!



Here's me

Now you!
