Markets really taking a beating today all around. I’m seeing people joke that it is because everyone is selling everything to buy Nvidia stock. While funny, I think it probably has more to do with China surrounding Taiwan…
Global crisis aside, Ethereum seems to be stealing the show today and taking some of the light away from Bitcoin. I actually think from a purely financial instrument perspective, Ethereum will be much more attractive to Wall Street due to it’s staking and potential to be deflationary, so I’m very curious how their market caps will perform from here.

One thing I didn’t expect about this series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks is that there would be a Kyrie Irving vs Anthony Edwards narrative. I’m happy to see it though. Kyrie’s postgame interview was funny to see when they asked him about it. You can really see Kyrie’s growth as a person over the last few years.

I watched a few classic fights last night on YouTube and I’ve got to say that the Khamzat vs Burns fight has to be one of my favorite UFC fights of all time. Those guys were really hammering each other. No spectacular knockouts like Conor’s prime fights, but seeing two warriors face off like that is definitely worth a rewatch.

Nice to see that coin in such good condition and the owner had the foresight to put it in an airtite (I’m assuming right away). I made the mistake of leaving mine in the original packaging it was shipped with which has caused it to have quite a bit of toning, especially on the gold highlighting. I’ve never tried cleaning it off, but I wish I had changed it’s capsule immediately.

One thing that has surprised me throughout this challenge is how much it has changed my body. As someone who always worked out and did 20 push-ups along with other workouts I didn’t expect I would see much change when starting this. I’ve now seen my body immediately lose weight when starting, then start bulking up, and the last couple weeks I’ve noticed I’m slimming down again. Makes me want to push it more, but I’m trying hard to focus on all areas of the body. I have to say this has been such a great experience so far. If you’re reading this, start doing push-ups. I promise you won’t regret it.
Makes me want to start eating healthy more regularly, but one step at a time.

I think Boston takes game 2 and probably the series in 5 games or less, but with how close the last game was and with how wide the spread is, I have to take Indiana plus 11.5 here. I don't think they get blown out with Boston still expected to have so many players out with injuries. I think they even have a decent chance of taking game 2, but then Boston is expected to get KP back and things start looking a little worse for Indiana.

Three quarters in and it's turning out to be a brick throwing contest between Luka and ANT hehe. Good thing for the Mavs is that Kyrie is on point while McDaniels covering for both KAT and ANT. One thing that the Mavs have to look out for going into the fourth quarter is how they are turning the ball twice as many as the Wolves.
Definitely a good game and coming down to the wire. I’m surprised how good Kyrie specifically is doing but Dallas as a whole is shooting great. I’m surprised they’re losing when looking at the stats. They’re only down 3 though and Luka is just starting to get hot, so I’m expecting the end of this one to be worth sticking around for. Edit: Luka just went on a 7-0 run by himself and gave the Mavs the lead. |

I decided I have recovered enough from my surgery to start a 100 exercise.
I am older so I will do 100 stair steps
May 21 2024 100 Steps done time 3 minutes 33 seconds price $70,015
May 22 2024 100 steps done time 3 minutes 4 seconds price 69.2k
May 23 2025
May 24 2025
So I did 100 again today. that is actually 200 as it is 100 steps upwards and 100 steps downwards I hope to do this for quite a while. Keep it up! Nice to see you keeping track and holding yourself accountable. After a couple months you’ll wonder how you ever didn’t do that every day. I got my 100 in today and managed to do some swimming and some time on the bike. I must say that I wish I was doing 100 squats along with my 100 push-ups but that sounds like so much effort. Maybe 100 burpees instead of push-ups? 100k,OgNasty,111,11200,2024-05-22 |

Here’s a great quote from our leader today.
"We cannot win this reelection.. we can only reelect Donald Trump!" -Joe Biden
I know he misspoke, but it’s still funny that he literally came right out and said the truth. Like some dementia powered moment of honesty and clarity. I only hope he turns out to be right once all the mail in votes are counted…

Pretty funny to see the Biden administration start attempting to pander to the crypto community now that they see it is impossible for Joe Biden to win the next election. Even with the coming mail in ballot fraud and use of illegals immigrants to vote, they still won’t be able to muster up enough to keep him in the White House. I suspect this will be a positive for Bitcoin going forward as politicians are embracing our community in an attempt to win over some support.

The accusation that Leo left the forum due to low payrate is one of the most ridiculous ones I've heard.
I know nothing about this situation so there's that... However, if there's one thing I know about longtime Bitcoiners, it's that they know the value of BTC and when someone offers you some, a low pay rate can be easily acceptable due to the belief that Bitcoin will continue to grow in value. I doubt very much that a low pay rate is what made "Leo" leave the forum that has been a daily part of his/her life for so long. Especially when one has the belief that $100 in BTC will be $1,000 in BTC someday. This forum has been around for a long time. Many members are going to have health problems and leave in the future. It's the circle of life. In another 10 years it will be very common here I'm sure. |

I think for about 2 months now the first thing I do when I get out of bed is stretch, brush my teeth, then do 40+ push-ups. It's gotten to the point where I pretty much have a push-up count in my mind the entire day until they're done and once they are done I want to do more so I have to find other ways to workout. Adding curls does bring me a little pain back in my elbow, but I'll stick with it until that pain goes away. Now that it's getting hotter here in the desert, I'm starting to wish I had a stair machine or a treadmill, but my stationary bike and swimming will have to do. At this point I'm worried I might find myself joining a gym soon and becoming a 260 gym bro like Bradley Martyn.

I agree in a sense. Clearly this forum has taken a massive and steady decline since 2016. You'd have to have your head in the ground to think otherwise. I disagree wholeheartedly with your assumption that it has anything to do with the mixer ban though. Mixers were paying people to come here and spout nonsense while defending each other's bad actions to the point the trust network is a joke. That led to users attacking honest people who build things here, so actual useful members just take their talent and leave rather than bicker with idiots who are only stating nonsense to get more posts in and earn more. Now that these paid to post troublemakers are starting to leave here, it's almost becoming bearable to have discussions and build on ideas again. Maybe we'll see something of value built here by the community again at some point rather than leaving Bitcoiners to chase Ordinals and Runes for something to do.

So everyone who I know who is a Christian is also worthless scumbag. Christians tend to be extremely angry, hateful, hostile people. Christians are completely and utterly incapable of apologizing for anything because Christians do not know a damn thing about repentance. Christians are often alcoholics or people who just act like they are drunk 24/7. Christians have very low levels of intelligence. If you tell me that you are a Christian, I will just believe that you are a lying immoral scumbag. Jesus hates Christians.
In Christ,
-Joseph Van Name Ph.D.
This reminds me of a great quote from Michael Caine playing Austin Powers' father in one of those Austin Powers movies. This quote echoes in my brain and makes me laugh more often than it should. I believe that's the correct response when someone says something so insanely hypocritical and stupid. That seems to be the case with this thread, so I think it fits perfectly. Enjoy! “There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.” ― Michael Caine |

I'm taking Minnesota over Dallas for today. I think that Dallas is going to struggle against the athleticism of Anthony Edwards while at the same time I think Luka will struggle against Minnesota's defense. I suspect that Dallas is going to try to shoot their way to a win tonight, so maybe Luka or Kyrie will have an amazing night beyond the arch and will their team to a victory, but I think more likely they'll be frustrated with their lack of penetration and will struggle to score against Minnesota... Game is on TNT so that's good news for watchers.

It is now official for the TNT NBA crew. Next year will be the final year for Ernie, Shaq, Chuck and Kenny to do their thing together. I’m pretty bummed about it to be honest. That might just be the best studio show of all time. I thought for sure they’d be doing this for years. I’ll miss Ernie. I hope he finds a new gig and doesn’t retire.

Hey guys and girls, how have you're process been going so far?  I did another kind of challenge, I tired to push my PB on a 20KM run and finally beat my PB that was from when I was in the young 20s. Now I have been addicted to Ultra-Running! And running every morning all thanks to this thread. (I was running often before also) but never in this phase and at this seriousness. Even bought myself a new fresh Under Armour shoes thanks to my Solana investments.  I just want to give a big thanks to OgNasty that came up with this idea, you have actually made me so much happier mentally and finally I have got into running in a serious manner again. Thanks bro all respect to you! I will try to be more active here. My goal is to run a Marathon under 3 hours this year., and try a Ultra-Running race next year. This is so amazing when people come together and help each other out, this is the best medicine we can use for our mental health and much more. And for last.. I have never felt this happy and positive in.. i cant remember and it's all because I have taking my training to another level. Who knows? Maybe gonna train and be a Iron Man to. Would be epic if we could get a group here and sign up for a Iron Man race together and do it together, that would be epic. OgNasty you're a living legend. Thanks again bud. I’m glad to see that this thread has inspired you to do great things and improve yourself. I’m even happy to get some praise but while I started this thread, the idea of doing 100 push-ups per day until Bitcoin reaches $100K was not mine. I just brought it to our little corner of the internet with the hopes of helping this community build some strength and maintain faith that we will reach $100K. |

I actually think tonight’s close game was good news for the Celtics. Indiana was going to come in and give it their all for game 1. Boston has a lot of injured players including Kristaps Porzingis who plays a decent sized role on the team. Holding off the Pacers while they have a great shooting night pretty much tells the tale that Boston wins this series quickly.

It’s getting pretty easy to knock out these 100 push-ups in a small amount of time. I feel like I will need to figure out a way to make my push-ups more difficult because I don’t want to have to start remembering random amounts every day. Elevating your feet when doing them makes it a little harder but I’m thinking of getting one of those push-up boards where you can work different muscle groups with different hand holds.
