Topic: The stupidest thread on bitcointalk. - page 3. (Read 4390 times)

What there is no proof of is the opposite, that they do. And in a forum where there is a payment for writing, and people get paid if the thread is in Speculation but not if it is off-topic, it is understandable that people come to defend it with bullshit about how they are changing the world with push-ups when what matters to them is that they have found an easy way to get paid for writing rubbish.


Yeah, sure. It is as much a speculation thread as a thread consisting of farting to drive the price of bitcoin up.


If I say ‘if I fart 110 times Bitcoin might reach $110k by the end of this year.’

That's how ridiculous that is.

If there is a continuation of the thread up to $200,000 I will join in by writing that I fart to counteract the negative effect you jingers bring. I mean the price went over $100,000 thanks to my farts, and when you saw the price you got excited, started doing push ups like crazy, and as a result it's gone back down.

Seems the forum just needs help finding more unbiased mods.

I propose someone starts the next mega meta thread to raise awareness: Do (5x) 10-second actions per day until Bitcointalk reaches [at least] 5 custom unbiased AI robots to replace mods.

That's right, you pick the action: walk in a circle, lift your hand for 10 seconds, kick your feet up for 10 seconds, pocket hockey, whatever you want.. post your report each time you do 1 action. Of course you'll need to occasionally rest to avoid the multi-posting rule, and possibly due to pocket hockey fatigue, but you'll still get paid for your personal diary entries!

Much fun, some talk about mods, all good stuff.



lmao, yes you do. Og could join the new thread too, not just for the paid posts, but for the homage. Although, he probably needs your homage directly in his Nasty* threads, where he really needs more future investors to keep paying off the old ones. *shrug*

As much as there is a possibility that people might lie about their reports, there is no proof to back the statement you are making that they are not actually doing them.

Also, when we talk about speculation, the meaning of the word speculation is to make guesses about something that might happen in the future or to form opinions about something that might or might not happen in the future. In that thread, people do talk about the price, even if it's not done in every single post.

If I say, "Bitcoin might reach $110k by the end of this year." it basically means I'm speculating about Bitcoin, so if a thread is basically based on the price of Bitcoin itself that might happen or have happened already, it does have to do with speculation even if every single post in it isn't specifically about the price.

That, continue in the speculation section a thread that has nothing to do with bitcoin speculation and in which people write about supposedly doing push ups, which not even 10% do.

Don't forget your loincloth.

Satoshi OgNatsy $100k is achieved, now move us to $150k. You've done more to Bitcoin than Elon musk in my book. 

You're welcome.

Further to the investigations in another thread, I have seen that there are two alts who happen to report in the push ups thread.

One is AirtelBuzz, who coincidentally joined the challenge and reported doing exactly 10 sessions of 100 push-ups, and the other is cryptoWODL who since joining reports having done an average of about 130.

That thread is a mockery of this forum where not even 10% of the people who post on it are doing the push-ups and all this talk of changing the world and driving up the price would be over in a moment if the thread was where it needs to be.

I get it when I see someone from the staff of this forum like yourself expresses that we should keep opening threads in the speculation section to talk about doing push-ups at home. Not to mention the amounts of 150/200k pushups. (crossed out due to conversation by PM)


You haven't read this thread where there are people expressing that there is an effect or relationship between pushups and price.


I have put in bold the things I agree with, which are common knowledge and which I have repeated ad nauseam. Doing 100 push-ups is very limited (you only burn about 40 calories, you only work one body part, you don't increase the workload, and you don't do cardio). If you're going to do them because you have a sedentary lifestyle you'd better take it as a start to improve your overall health and then move on to full body training, more intensity and cardio (walking being the easiest, cheapest and most accessible to everyone).

The issue here is that the people who participate in that thread don't want it to be moved to off topic because they wear paid signatures and in off topic they wouldn't get paid for what they write there, starting with the liar OP, who says he doesn't care but if he didn't care he wouldn't have created it in that section in the first place, or at least he would have moved it afterwards.

Since many of us likely realize BTC prices are set on the margins, and it always cannot be clear what might pushup up the price, even a bit more than it otherwise would have had been pushed by various "other factors," yet I would like consider the possibility that on the margins, our doing pushups, contributing the pushup thread discussion and the contribution of pushup reports may well have had helped BTC prices on the margins.        


We could use another pusher.. might help with BTC prices and it also might help to get us to 100 pushers prior to the BTC price reaching $100k.  Perhaps you start out by doing 3 sets of somewhere between 8-12 pushups per day, and then work your way up to higher numbers.  Several of the pushers started out at pushup amounts lower than 100 per day prior to working their way up to higher numbers of pushups in a day... You might even be able to get in 100 pushups or more prior to the BTC price reaching $100k.. Perhaps? perhaps?  Not easy to know with any kinds of high levels of certainty, even though there currently seems to be quite a bit of ongoing upwards pressures on the cornz price.

Perhaps you’ll just give OG time to take profit and after that, OG would by some chance dump price to enable the rest of us find an entry point and not just get sats that would be little away from nothing but, sats that comes with values and promises when dude decides to pump again.
It’s incredible but, dude with the push-up had pushed price of Bitcoin to $99k+ and it’s still pushing.

We are welcoming a new week and from how it’s carrying, we might be hitting that $100k price in this week, maybe get a little farther too.

Have no idea where you get the trolling part from, but I'm danm serious, we're not kids and everyone knows those activities doesn't affect BTC price in anyway - just fun.


Back in the days I used to go straight set 50-60 and 160-200 total push-ups at home before going to the gym for light weights ( still have my videos somewhere on the Internet) but it's best to always skip a day or two to rest the muscles. Today I can't even go more than 20/set - became friend to burger and pizza. 

OGnasty made bitcoin expensive again. Daym you OGnastii! Vod come fast OG is driving bitcoin prices up newbies can’t afford to buy because of him. Do something Vod! Save us from OG

*popcorn.gif

Of course, we owe the price increase to OgNasty.

I find your post sort of trolling but nice style, it made me laugh.


The way things are going I think the next challenge is going to be 1 million push-ups a day until the price reaches 1 million dollars and so we, every forum member, will owe OgNasty 1 million dollars for achieving such a feat. But you'll have to do it with a loincloth and a wizard casting spells, eh? Otherwise the price will go down.


And you are in the other thread talking to me as a ‘friend’? I can see you're pretty pissed off that I'm exposing your bollocks. 150 push-ups a day as a ‘challenge’ is rubbish and anyone who knows anything about fitness knows that.

...away from this disgusting opportunistic troll thread, and their vices, someone could create this record if it's not been created already... (...and yes, for as long as it'll take)
150 pushups a day is just a regular target for a keep-fit buff, sooo...

If someone can make a video of Bitcoin hitting that milestone, it's going to be great content. It's not easy, though, because the market can always take a U-turn, and someone trying to capture the moment will not be able to get it so quickly. It's only possible if someone dedicates a whole PC or any other device for this, opening the chart in a browser tab and keeping the screen capture on until it hits $100k. The capture can be stopped if it drops to $90k or below and then restarted again when it reaches the current price.

i think ill  just watch a video of the chart tick to over $100k USD instead.

no offense

I want to see a video of those 150,000 push-ups

We're almost at $100k, it's seems OgNatsy push-up till BTC hit 100k is finally working out as planned, please tag me to the next $150/200k challenge I want to participate. You become what you believe  what's life without fun?

I am having some difficulties appreciating why you (Don Pedro) are continuously imposing goals for why guys would want to do daily pushups, whether they are doing 100 pushups per day or some other quantity and/or pushup duration.

Guys can have whatever the fuck goal(s) that they like including being interested in framing their pushup goals in terms of movements in the BTC price, BTC cultural participation or whatever reason that they join into the pushups thread. 

By the way, I recall one of the participants, OgNasty, specifically proclaiming that he believes that his doing daily pushups has been contributing to his burning of more calories and even his desire to try to keep on weight rather than shedding weight - whether he is correct in his assessment or not, he has been proclaiming some potential relationship to his doing pushups and his wanting to try to maintain his weight rather than his weight seeming to go down, at least in the past 8-ish months.

My own personal experience is that in the first several months of my doing pushups, I perceived that various aspect of my body was toning more, and so in that regard, I had been speculating that I had been experiencing some loss of weight; however, in more recent times (perhaps the past 3-4 months), I have not really been perceiving additional loss of weight or even I am not sure about measurable differences in my body, such as my muscle mass, so it surely could be that my aging my be contributing to a kind of stagnation where I might not really be getting much if any muscle growth, improvements in strength and/or even any kind of additional calorie burning might end up being in a kind of category that is not really making any meaningful difference in the whole scheme of my own physical strength and/or body composition (in terms of appearance).

It seems to me that one fallacy in your attempt to analyze marginal levels of calorie burning during the act of doing pushups is the ignoring of questions about whether a guy's body muscle mass might either be improved or at least maintained in a better way from doing pushups as compared with if he had not done pushups.  Surely, it seems that there is a lot of uncontroversial evidence (studies) that exist that tend to show that folks who have and/or maintain higher levels of muscle mass tend to burn calories at a higher rate (aka increasing of metabolism) than similarly situated folks who have lower levels of muscle mass, and so in that regard, if there are ways that daily (or otherwise periodic) doing of pushups is contributing to either a maintenance and/or a growth of muscle mass, then just from the mere maintenance/increase of muscle mass, then it is likely that at all times calories would be being burned at a faster rate.  Sure, we could question the veracity or even the persuasiveness of such studies, yet I would still imagine that some guys might consider that there is likely evidence that their own well physical well being is likely to be improved by their ongoingly doing pushups.. whether daily or whatever periodic basis they have been choosing to do their pushups in the context of their participation in the pushups' thread.


Again, sure you can work on other kinds of exercises, and even use the 100 pushups challenge as a gateway to those other activities, even though the extent to which you might be contemplating and/or including those other activity considerations would go beyond the main focuses of the thread, namely the context of the 100 pushups' challenge in connection with our getting to $100k BTC prices... so then it could even be for some guys, that their focusing on pushups and/or other physical fitness and/or health-related focuses may well ONLY end up being during this time period in which they (we) are bonding with each other during this period of time that many of us are remaining anxious about the BTC price getting to $100k..

Question:  the memory of what were you doing while bitcoin was in its pre-$100k days?

Answer: (doing daily pushups)...

Further response:  fucking legend

There can be a certain kind of subtlety in terms of what we are doing and what are bitcoin-related legacy might play out from what we chose to do during seminal bitcoin periods.




Now you are an expert on comparative benefits in regards to which exercise(s) are better for which purposes?  And you want to suggest which exercise might be better for guys who are participating in the pushups' thread, such as we should have had a thread that related to walking in order to bring the BTC price to $100k?  I do know that there are various kinds of activities that BTCers do, such as the running related to Hal Finney, and there are walking groups too.. since I heard about some folks who are promoting walking and bitcoin.. yet the pushups thread is still NOT really focusing on discussions of comparing different kinds of activities that guys might do, even though surely there could be some guys who might mention other activities that they are doing or even say that they prefer other activities to pushups, and so if they are coming from the perspective that there are better activities than pushups, they are free to have those views, even though pursuit of such other topics within the thread would not be on topic and would most likely rise to the level of being considered as trolling of the thread.


You seem unable to resist imposing your own values and/or views onto others, even while they seem to be marginally relevant, at best.


It is not a joke, so you are wrong about that, even though you keep making that proclamation. Doing pushups, talking about pushups and relating daily (Or other periods) pushups to bitcoin prices is surely not a joke, and members of the pushup thread are not even the ONLY ones in bitcoinlandia engaged in such 100 pushups per day until $100k kinds of ideas and/or practices.


If we had a Venn diagram, surely there might be some guys who are interested in burning calories, doing daily pushups, participating in the pushup's thread and watching the BTC price, yet they are still just a part of those who might fall into the overlap of being interested in pushups, participating in the pushup thread and watching the BTC price.  In other words, who gives any shits, besides ur lil selfie, about your personal preferences to walk in natural surroundings, look at scenery and/or even your desires to burn calories in purported efficient ways during such?  Comes off as mostly uninteresting and not even overlapping with what guys in the pushup thread might be seeking in their participation therein.

False. Yes you can, you can put a range, even if you don't know the exact calories a person burns. And by knowing that range you can realise that doing 100 push-ups burns very few calories, just as it has a very limited effect on the strength you can gain, mostly in sedentary people and at the beginning.
For me the good thing about trying to do 100 push-ups as a challenge would be to take it as the start of more physical activity. Start with 100 push-ups but work your way up to other parts of the body, and walk, especially walk. If you are at risk of heart disease because of your lifestyle, doing 100 push-ups won't change anything, but walking 10,000 steps at least 5 days a week will reduce your risk of heart disease, burn far more calories than push-ups and have many other benefits.


If you were interested in the principles of fitness instead of the bullshit you would realise that once you get past 25 push-ups in one go the best thing to do is to get more intense, slap push-ups, incline push-ups, one-handed push-ups, etc. But you do your own thing.


Yes, it's that nonsense that has attracted you all. It's still a joke.


See, you burn more calories reading for an hour than doing push-ups. Try going for a walk and reading if you like, and you'll burn more (although I prefer walking in natural surroundings and looking at the scenery).
