I have opened a parallel thread. As I'm sure the haters will report it, I hope to see a rational explanation if something is done with my thread, like trashing it or moving it to off topic, and not with the other one.

People on the push-ups thread jinxing the price.


So, if your thread isn't trashed or moved to Off-topic, you will be cool about the pushups thread?  Roll Eyes

So what if your thread is moved or trashed? What if the mods see what you are actually trying to do and decide its just a bad thread? It sounds like you are expecting special treatment just because you are upset.

You want to prove a point, but I dont see what you are actually trying to prove here. Just report the thread if you think its against the rules. Stop whining and let the mods do their job. If Im not mistaken, theymos himself once said that no rule is set in stone and Im sure we all have reports marked as bad or unhandled.  It has always been up to the moderators discretion to act.  What makes you think you deserve a special explanation if the mods disagree with your viewpoint?

Btw, what haters? You are the one who started this little bickering and the one fueling the drama. If you want to keep arguing, thats fine. But lets not pretend you are some innocent victim here.

Hey @theymos, @Cyrus, @hilariousandco and other moderators, look at the rubbish written in this thread and tell me this has anything to do with bitcoin price speculation. Second to last comment:

As we continue continue our daily pushups challenge it is very important we know food's we are to eat before and after our daily pushups in other to help use achieve our desire result.
Before your 100-push-up workout, it's recommended to have a meal or snack containing a balance of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats. Good options include:

A whole grain toast with peanut butter and a banana
Greek yogurt with granola and berries
A small bowl of oatmeal topped with nuts and a drizzle of honey
The carbohydrates will provide energy, the protein will help maintain and build muscle, and the healthy fats will support hormone production and overall health.

After your workout, it's important to have a recovery meal or snack within 30 minutes to 1 hour. This should contain a higher ratio of protein to help repair and rebuild muscle tissue. Some post-workout options include:

A protein shake made with milk or plant-based milk, and fruit
Grilled chicken breast with roasted sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli
Tuna salad on whole grain crackers
Staying hydrated by drinking water before, during, and after your workouts is also crucial for muscle recovery and overall health. With this balanced nutrition approach, you can support your muscle gains from the 100-push-up routine.

The latest comment so far:

Nutrition is completely personal. I hope your nutrition routine is suitable for your physical body.
I understand that you are trying to avoid consuming processed foods at least.
The nutrition prescription you wrote is a rote list, it may give good results for some people, but it is not suitable for others.
It is best to test yourself and do some experiments in terms of nutrition first, maybe if you do not have a balanced diet, it is best to get support from an expert.

And of course, those comments are not off topic because it is that whole spam mega thread that is off topic on that section.

How many merits did your examples get? Zero. Basically, you just proved that people aren’t able to farm merits with low quality posts there. Thank you for your service in proving yourself wrong. Now it seems like this thread is growing the popularity of the push-ups thread, so thank you again for your service in spreading the word. Most people would be embarrassed to be owned so hard, so I applaud you in sacrificing your reputation to shine a light on the great thing I’m doing to help this community be healthier.

Also, I can’t say enough how people should look at those who merited this thread and the negativity they push whenever they feel I am doing something positive. This is nothing new. The same folks obsessed with controlling the trust network. ibminer actually left me a negative trust rating for selling a product that had a positive ROI. Pathetic. These individuals need to be cleansed from this site.

The way you are writing you show you have not understood anything I say in the thread. You haven't read the OP and if you have read it you haven't understood it.
There are no point to argue with you.

Another ironic move. It clears that the intent and motive of the this topic in Meta was to express your personal dislikeness towards a specific member so that you can humiliate him with the support of a few other members who have conflict of interest. Good luck with your new thread.

The way you are asking it sounds like you are paying admin and the mods to obey your orders. If you think a post is not following the forum rules then report it and let it go. Nobody is hear to give you an explanation.

...
I was looking at the thread and I see many members are enjoying the activity. What's wrong with the push up things and have fun. In WO observer we do all sorts of fun. The argument can be if the topic deserves the speculation board or bitcoin discussion board. But by making it an issue when someone is trying to bossing around the old timers then it's wrong. If you don't like some member then press the ignore button. Problem solved.

As for the speculative aspect. Well, speculation is speculation, no matter how you do it. What you may question is whether the speculation argument is logical. For some it will be, for others it won't. It's still speculation, even if it's unrealistic.

Conclusion: If the mother of all merit farming/shitposting topic that is called "WO" stays in speculation, 100pushups should stay too.

Brilliant logic, let's close the off topic board, no point in having it if anything can be posted in speculation.

WO has some price discussions, unlike the pushup thread.

2. Thinking that those push ups are going to have any sort of relationship to price is an even bigger load of bull.

A while ago, a user went around saying that if you write certain words in your signature the price of BTC would go up, otherwise it would go down.  Roll Eyes

People believe in many superstitions. Many football players enter the field with their right foot, as they believe that this will make them successful in the game. Others say she has a pair of lucky panties, and when they wear them everything goes well. Some I believe you have to do a certain kind of thing before something, to be successful. Anyway, the list is huge.

I can't help but wonder why such a simple thing is so hard to understand for OP, or maybe you are confused about it too. Let me explain, and I hope he gets it this time.

If you notice the name of the thread, it says, "100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin is $100K Challenge". Anyone from any part of the world who understands simple English would know what this means. Where does it, or the body of that thread, say that doing pushups is going to send Bitcoin to $100K? I know that the edited image OgNasty posted said it, but that was just for fun and humor, no one has said or believed that the price of Bitcoin is going to go up if they do push-ups. Why the hell would it be called a challenge if that was the motive behind it?

It's a challenge, a challenge that every user accepts to keep doing 100 pushups every day until Bitcoin reaches $100k, and this challenge doesn't contain the belief that those pushups are going to affect the price of Bitcoin in any way. There is no superstition or anything in this, it's just that OP is having a hard time understanding it.

If these people think that doing push-ups or other physical activity helps the price of Bitcoin rise, that's fine with me. I already know who to blame when the price drops.  Cool

So these days in meta a topic to counter a topic creates 5 pages of discussion. VOD needs to react to end the discussion LOL
In meta, you get the point now?
When I read through that post, a little sweat trickled down my spine and, in exasperation, I immediately realized the emptiness that has been suggested severally to be the reason why so many reputable members left the forum. It was like being triggered to recall everything I read from the past in comparison to one scene.
Maybe the approach that the OP took on the topic in question wasn't the most sympathetic, but then they started to take personal offense, there was no need.
It's clear already that this whole thread is based off of some personal vendetta from the past or something...(read through the last replies from page 6 and you'll understand better if you haven't already) Op has literally explained why they created this thread over and over again, but I still don't seem to see enough reasons to validate it. I'm not even tryna be funny here and ofcourse, i dunno OG from anywhere to be defending his ass; I'll say the same thing even it wasn't him.

Don't divert the topic, you and others, like mindrust. In the OP I make not a single reference to merit. My argument is based on three points:

1. Doing 100 push ups a day is a load of bull.

2. Thinking that those push ups are going to have any sort of relationship to price is an even bigger load of bull.

3. Conclusion: neither of those two things have to do with anything remotely resembling speculation on the price of bitcoin, so it has to be moved to off topic.

Do you have anything to say about these arguments or are you going to continue talking rubbish? No, you don't need to answer me, I know you're going to keep talking rubbish.

I see somebody else mentioned merit farming and he was agreeing with your post, that's why I also mentioned it.

Do you realize nearly 90% of the total posts made are garbage/offtopic nowadays? I am glad you are not modding the forum because signature campers wouldn't find a damn thread to make posts.  Cool It is already getting harder and harder to make posts and btw, many managers don't pay the posts that were made in the mega threads anyway.



Conclusion: If the mother of all merit farming/shitposting topic that is called "WO" stays in speculation, 100pushups should stay too.

So we have found the root of your problem.  You are for some reason angry at me being paid by a signature advertiser while you are ironically being paid by a signature advertiser to do so...  Look at how many posts I have and how long I've been posting here...  

Rather the problem is that your thread is rubbish on par with you saying that Satoshi would do push ups to your request. Your campaign is famous for paying people for rubbish and in your case it is very palpable.

Do you really think I need a thread about doing push-ups to get paid by an advertiser?  

Yes, that thread makes it very easy for you to get paid for saying rubbish, to you and others, which would not happen in off topic, which is where it should have moved from the first comment in the thread.

That's sort of what I'm wondering...  It seems the people who care are literally in merit circles themselves, so I guess they're mad that other people are getting merits?

Before satoshi disappeared, he told me that anyone who uses the word rubbish unironically is gay.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that (said in a perfect Seinfeld voice).

No offense to people who like these sports, but if the majority of your posts are found in a combination of any of the above-mentioned threads, that means they most likely suck, and you most likely run multiple accounts on the forum. That's just based on my empirical experience with the forum.
The only word that complemented and made this whole experience/allegations to likely be the truth is the bolded text. Previously, I did everything possible to avoid these boards (especially the football update threads) as post in those threads where spun, twisted and repeatedly emphasized in one's own words.
After sometime, since I've always been part of a casino,I realized that I had to participate in rating/discussing a particular team's all round performance and gameplay.Those are major spam fest and ofcourse, you're right [why do you think they all run away from jolly's premier league thread?lol

Edit:
If they are farming merits there, who cares? It is not my problem. Maybe I should start doing push ups too. How many merits do I get for doing 10 push ups?
Technically, op seems to take real life problems too seriously that he forgot to identify that post rather as an irony than a sarcasm..
I feel it's somewhat irrational to think a topic like that was meant to sound just as it was posted. Moreso, it got so many merits and wasn't reported, why is op( and a few more) the only one seeing it as a problem?

bitcointalk is more or less not the driving force it used to be.

Big business has taken over BTC to a large degree and the influence that used to here is gone.

Plus it is not coming back.

The most good done on BTC is certainly not in meta.

I would argue that the btc given via signature is really the best part still left to bitcointalk.

So for the op to attack a thriving thread that helps to generate the circulation of merits and signature funding while at the same time aids in the health and well being of forum members is sad and very very very narrow minded.

but what is worse is anyone agreeing with that as they simply fail to see why the thread has real value.


By the way I gave over thirty merits to this thread  and I truly suspect that Don Pedro loves the thread that he complained about and simply started this thread to help merit spread and signature earnings.

Have to give Don Pedro credit if he pulled off a great proudhon imitation.

its kind of sad 😞

but some people do think that playing cop 👮 is cool.

They never had a plainclothes detective try to plant evidence in their pocket.

Happened to me back in 2005 I was 48 and a moron local cop tried to do that to me.

Since then my respect for cops and people playing internet cop 👮‍♂️ has greatly lowered.

I usually don’t say much but this thread pretty much directly affects my attempts to stay healthy.

and to see people saying no one does the actual exercise is pretty sad that people think that.

We know the world we live in is filled with liars but to think no one does the exercise in that thread is so fucking cynical

why bother posting anything in bitcoin talk or reading anything at all.

just sit in your house and play music .

as I watch and listen to a 1963 Dylan concert. he just finshed mr tambourine man. my favorite ❤️ one of his.

back to this thread hey op just lock it up bro 😎.

Og will lock the 100k thread one day and we will be done.

I don’t see anything had about this thread. I don’t think I ever visited it till I came across this thread.

Giving merits is not moderated, so If you think some person is spending his/her merits in a very unfavorable manner, you can always put that account on ignore or put him/her in your distrust list, do whatever that is going to make you feel better I guess.

If people are having fun in that thread that’s cool.

If they are farming merits there, who cares? It is not my problem. Maybe I should start doing push ups too. How many merits do I get for doing 10 push ups?
