Apart from what you have mentioned, this thread became heaven for the merit farmers and abusers. Whether they do the pushups or not, they report regularly to get some merits, and some forum members never disappoint them. I have been checking some profiles lately and noticed they use some threads to farm merits, and this thread is one of them. Another one is the Buy Dip Hold thread, which they use.
I assume the screenshot you posted is just an edited one. The bold text looks edited. But even if it's not edited, I don't think Satoshi ever said something like that. I will be happy if I get proved wrong.

That's called humour, it's not related to sport or to the bitcoin price itself, only people who call it "nonsense" can't get the humour.
But that text/phrase, idk if its actual said by satoshi to Sirius (Martini) in an email conversation publicized by Martini, check https://mmalmi.github.io/satoshi/

I mean nowadays, because when I registered there was a lot of spam, but someone tell me this isn't stupid.
100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge
I had seen the thread before and I guess because of the title I hadn't stopped to read it but now I see that it is 174 pages long, a spam megathread at its best.
At first you might think that this is just a funny way of doing sport, but no, if you know anything about physical education, doing 100 push-ups a day is bollocks to begin with, but here's what's most relevant:
I imagine it's a fake, but if Satoshi really said that, in this case he said some nonsense. You can be very intelligent and say some nonsense from time to time, it's not incompatible.
And in this case, to think that doing 100 push-ups has anything to do with what happens in the price has more to do with going with a loincloth than with any rational speculation.
That does not belong to speculation, as the first comment says:
I'm going to report it again to off topic. I'm sure it won't grow at the rate of 22 pages a month there.
Edit, I was going to report it and I see this:

This may seem related to bitcoin speculation but it is not bitcoin speculation at all. We are not speculation on bitcoin price but to know if someone can know if he or she can go up to 100 push ups before bitcoin hit six digits. This belongs to off-topic.
I'm going to report it again to off topic. I'm sure it won't grow at the rate of 22 pages a month there.
