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:

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.

Edit, I was going to report it and I see this:

It's obvious you don't like humor, neither do you love exercises, I would like also to mention to you that the thread is made up of people that keep fit thoroughly and not just those that pushup only. Reporting only pushups is in a bid to control unnecessary spamming of that thread, I can remember asking questions about full body workout sometime ago and I was informed to do my full body workout privately and only report pushups (I couldn't even meet up because of my busy schedule, hence I'm not reporting). So I think that topic is spam controlled from the beginning and efficient. You shouldn't have problem with such threads if you're optimistic enough.




Threads that are merit-free, zero-IQ spamfests that should be locked:

La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25
Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025
Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)
Cricket match prediction discussions
Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread
UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

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.
I think you're not a fan of sports, that's the best way to explain your seeing those threads as unimportant. Discussing about football and football matches outcomes that brings happiness to even the depressed soul is considered something that sucks by you. It's appalling to hear honestly. I know many times I've had meaningful discussions about the form of teams, play patterns and updates that helps me stay informed and make better decisions while gambling.

Truth is that if it doesn't make sense to you or you don't understand it, try to seek clarity and not being pessimistic immediately about a good idea. It surely would help you.
