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:

You can't just take anything as gibberish, be careful how meaningless/stupid you think about people's posts, First of all be in their (thread's OP) shoe and see what you will feel or how hurt you will be if someone speak ill of your post. always think before you speak ill of someone or something that is made by somebody, because they will be a particular thing that you hate/dislike and a lot of people will love it.

The thread you are calling stupid as been a source of merit to a lots of people, some people are not doing the pushups and they will post and admit that they are doing it, and they are getting merit. If you think that 100 pushups is very easy and it is weak people that engage themselves in it, I suggest you try it a day or make it your daily exercise and see how you are going to feel.

That thread is made to have fun and the thread is also encouraging people to exercise their body and maintain their physical health (so that they should be physically fit and healthy). I don't think that thread is harmful because a lot of high ranked members are also posting on the thread.
