Topic: The stupidest thread on bitcointalk. - page 2. (Read 4390 times)

Thinking that people aren’t doing 100 push-ups per day says a lot about you… I think people are doing them because it isn’t incredibly hard. I can do 80 push-ups in a set now but usually only do 60 in the morning. It barely takes a minute of my time before brushing my teeth. Why fake that instead of just spending a minute or two a day to look and feel like a Greek God? Pretty sure I tore a muscle in my side yesterday moving my foosball table and new living room set and I’m still doing my push-ups. There are levels to this…

I said this thing earlier in this thread, but differently because if you don't have proof that they aren't doing the pushups, you don't have the right to say that they are lying. I know it applies on both sides, but I can't entirely agree with the point that people on that thread are doing this to earn money from their signature campaigns or to complete their post quota because I don't think any sensible campaign manager would count posts where you are making a report in a challenge you are participating in where your post doesn't have any semantic load or quality. And, if a poster is writing a long enough post with some analysis and stuff and the post has some quality, I don't see anything wrong in it if such posts are counted towards their post quotas.

Also, some members such as OgNasty, JayJuanGee, Igebotz, and philipma1957, among others, don't need a specific thread to complete their weekly posts because they efficiently do it outside of that thread. It sounds illogical to say that they are fighting to keep the thread in the Speculation section so that their posts are counted for their signature campaigns. I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't make it any difficult for the participants of that challenge to complete their weekly posts even if the thread is moved to Off-topic, but I don't think the thread belongs to Off-topic because even if there is a challenge involved, the thread is still about speculating about Bitcoin's price.

C'mon man, you should know better that I didn't call you specifically a lie just pointed out a fact and besides the phrase was "anyone" which does not imply directly to you 😁 but still don't take it the wrong way but it's the truth this is an internet space. There are lots of users who are actually doing the push up in that thread and you can be one of those but even you yourself know it's not everyone that's doing it.

It seems like you are saying Og took an idea from others to help him make money (I can see this, wouldn't be the first time), he used a fake satoshi screenshot on it for gimmick support, then someone created a script to read the thread to collect and post results.... and these are innovative to you??   To each his own I guess.

If your name were that important, you wouldn't have to try name-dropping Gavin & Ross!

*shrug*, no speculating price discussion.

Is he claiming gullibility here?  *shrug*  I don't really believe Og is capable of experiencing the type of remorse Gavin did.

bruh

i stated in that thread i have done 3 (three) pushups since the thread started.

are you implying i could be......   lying???

This is as clear as day.


To that end you created a thread in which people report doing push ups when you don't have to be very smart to see that few do them, not even you, and that if it had been opened by someone else it wouldn't have taken long to be trashed as befits the shitty thread it is.

You have created a WO thread about push ups but with visible signatures.

I like how people that call me narcissistic can't stop saying my name.  If I am a narcissist, you realize that is the sort of thing that would make me harder than Ross Ulbright at a strip club on January 21st.  I digress...  It's all about community and being healthy and wealthy.  When I started that thread Bitcoin was priced at $42,571.91.  It was most certainly speculation at the time that we would ever hit $100,000 and committing to do 100 push-ups per day on that speculation Bitcoin would more than double showed a massive set of danglers (this must be one of those attempts at self-promotion that is found to be distasteful).

Who's yo daddy? 

Are you guys saying this isn't a real message from satoshi?  I've been duped!  Now I know how Gavin Andresen felt.

Lol 🤣, why not give it a try. Am sure we will all contribute in crying till Bitcoin gets to the target.

I think everyone just relates fine to the idea of doing push ups although many aren't actually doing the push but I mean it's the internet space who can really tell if anyone is actually doing what they are saying but that's what makes it more interesting just relate with it, I mean JayJaunGee gets it😁

This is also not a bad point.


The thread seems to be sufficiently related to speculation, especially the community component, and thread seemed to have had been active for around 8 months prior to anyone complaining about it.. and.. even the complaints themselves seem quite borderline in terms of any justification to actually move the thread from its current location within speculation.


It does seem fairly obvious to be playing off of an idea that could not have had actually have had been said by satoshi.. and yeah, maybe a bit of a disclaimer could be put there in order to appease folks who believe that the message attribution could be misleading ... and who knows the extent that you might proclaim that the damage has already been done, or to proclaim putting a disclaimer there admits guilt... hahahahahaha.


I doubt that there is any downfall of the forum, and probably the strongest objection that I saw was that some members might be getting compensated for their signature campaigns within a topic that otherwise would not be compensated, which in the end seems a lame as fuck objection, since signature campaign managers could easily make a rule (if they don't already have one) to say that they are not going to pay for posts on that thread.. and ultimately I doubt that the signature campaign managers even feel as strongly about the placement of the thread as some OgNasty haters seem to be..

 .. and hey I am no kind of a OgNasty fan boi, either, since I find some of his attempts at self-promotion to be a bit distasteful..... but still in the end, it seems to me that OgNasty took that thread idea from pushup activities that were already happening in other bitcoin spaces and in other forums (and discussion places - and even podcasts) at the time, and even being discussed at various places on the forum, at least in the WO thread, and so Ognasty took the thread idea from an existing push-up phenomena that was happening in and around bitcoin, and sure the thread might have helped the pushup phenomena to spread even more within various bitcoin circles and to have further outreach for the idea (even if imitated)... and also DirtyKeyboard took it to another level with his daily pushup report reading script.. another kind of innovation that others might be able to copy or imitate.. and seemingly lucky for several of us who chose to directly participate in such....and lucky for you bitcoin HODLers too, since the BTC price might not have ever made it to $100k without such efforts.   

Thanks, I could probably come up with more great ideas to further drive the content downwards at the forum, but I myself don't have any real desire or time to spend on gimmick shit posting threads.

Seeing who some of the narcissistic enablers are is a bit off-putting for me personally, but I wouldn't want to get too off-topic here.

If I wanted to start doing push-ups and taking reports for a physical challenge, speculation isn't where it would go. Seems odd since it's about daily push-ups. And moving it doesn't really hinder the claimed purpose of the thread at all.

Additionally, anybody seen as a "trusted" member (or anyone else for that matter) should not be intentionally posting a fake satoshi e-mail to mislead people into thinking they're supporting something satoshi believed in, no matter how obvious it might be to some.

At this point, I'm just going to stop re-iterating. It is clear what precedents have been set and who supports them.

Good point. If I create a thread "I cry every day until Bitcoin reaches $1 million or the heat death of the universe, whichever comes later", that'd be totally on-topic in Speculation I assume.

It's now obvious that the thread(100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge) is no longer an off-topic in the speculation section because Bitcoin price has hit $100k,what you referred to off-time has come to pass.I can see you've changed the topic from the stupidest thread on Bitcointalk to an obviously off-thread in the speculation section whereas the topic isn't the stupidest or off-topic in the speculation section.
Speculation means hoping for an asset to increase in price in the future,so bitcoiners might decide to do 100 pushups a day to look physically fit as we hoping for a targeted price.Though the 100 pushups a day seemed impossible,but to those that have been doing their exercise regularly it was an easy task.The 100 pushups challenge was a hit, videos were posted on social media platform like YouTube and an active discussion was ongoing on bitcointalk,all these are considered as factors of speculation.

Cry harder.

 

And maybe do some pushups.

If you can't beat them join them.

 

So Bitcoin has reached $100k but the pushup thread is still going on and we're getting even more of Og's mommy issues and more contrived excuses as to why the thread is needed in addition to all of the other $100k threads. It's almost as if some of the apologists haven't been honest to begin with... nah, can't be. It must be all the haters who deliberately pumped Bitcoin to $100k to end the thread.

That's all well and good but what is not explained is why if this thread is supposedly doing so much good for the bodies and health of those who participate, and also for the price of bitcoin and humanity, those benefits are not supposed to occur if the thread is moved to off-topic.


Personally I have reported hundreds of posts that end up deleted, locked or moved to another section, usually off-topic, so it's not that easy, and that thread does make it easy for the multiaccounters I've seen in the thread, that if they have to make 20 posts a week, they already have 7 with the report of the supposed bending they do and commenting on some rubbish.


A nauseatingly speculative nature.


It is not a matter of luck, it is a matter of faith.

Not bad ideas, even though you sound a wee bit unnecessarily bitter.


For sure, OgNasty's got some issues, so I am glad that you might be striving to help him through invitation while cautious about enabling some of his seemingly difficult to control inclinations.


Don't you know nuttin @Don Pedro Dinero.  There is no proof of anything in the world, except for bitcoin, so pushups is an inferior proof of work, and no actual proof is needed, and it would be a waste of time and energies to go down a path of requiring proof in such circumstances.


That would not be the motivation for everyone in the thread, necessarily, and even if payment is made for posts, is that a forum issue or a signature campaign issue?  You really think that signature campaign managers cannot figure out their own compliance guidelines, or is it necessary to help them?  Maybe report their members to the signature campaign if you believe that they are getting paid when they shouldn't be.


We have learned that speculation comes in quite a variety of forms, and I doubt that your attempts at making a farting connection is either tasteful or something that any non-troll would really assert as a seriously and/or motivating topic, like how pushups have resonated with a lot of forum members and other folks in the bitcoin space, including beyond just this forum.

Maybe it is also nice for many members in this forum to have a thread to channel their abilities to physically participate in bitcoin and a part of bitcoin culture that is evolving before our very eyes.


You already tried something like that with your own troll thread, and your dumbass thread was not very popular.

When we bore down a bit, you do come off as a real party poop.


That comes off as quite a delusional observation.  How can anyone take you seriously when you produce such outlandish and childish perspectives.

It applies on both sides equally. So, there is no hard evidence for anyone to claim the other one is lying/telling the truth. However, I have seen some members posting images of their bodies in that thread, claiming they have improved because of the challenge, but again, you never know whether something is real or not.


There are hundreds of threads in the forum where one can talk rubbish to complete the post quota if that's their primary motive. In my opinion, one specific thread doesn't make things any easier.


I never said that a challenge about 110 farts a day until Bitcoin reaches $110k doesn't have a speculative nature.


Believe it or not, that statement is speculative, regardless of its meaning or nature.


I would say good luck. The competition must be enjoyable for us spectators.

To be on the forum since 2011 and call yourself ‘Og’ what a shitty development.

A spam megathread, full of shitposts, alt accounts and merits fishers reporting bollocks and covering the week's quota in an easier way.

That last part makes sense for a malignant narcissist.

I guess you're talking about me here but you may be too much of a bitch to say it. Nonetheless, whatever negativity you deal with is self-inflicted through your own stupidity, greed, and lies.

I've noticed you typically revert to weenies, nuts, and balls as insults. You might want to do some self-reflection on that.

I'd rather stick with reality and facts, I have no desire to entertain your deranged imagination.

Trolling noodle armed jealous weenies with my ability to do massive numbers of push-ups might be one of my favorite developments in this forum.  Seeing them turn on moderators just for supporting a cool idea that the community has gotten behind just because I'm involved is a glimpse into the sort of nonsense I've had to deal with on this forum over the years.  I look forward to the day when these toxic weenies get shown the door by this community.  Imagine how pathetic and weak you'd have to be as a person to spread lies about people's charitable deeds and discourage others from personal improvement.
