A new thing was launched at the halvening .. called runes.. so maybe there is some high fee connection to that.  Agreed that the fees are pretty outrageous and seeming to persist over several blocks... so some other guys probably have better explanations for what might happen.. and by the way, I had heard predictions that the first block after the halving might have more than 10 BTC, and it ended up having nearly 40 BTC, so even the earlier high predictions likely ended up under-predicting how much fees would be going into some of these seemingly fad like ways of making money.

Hahahahaha.. I did not see that one from the site.

Good for you.  Not ONLY is it better to hold, it is better to be continuously buying in order to help to reinforce your conviction to your investment.


You sound like a pretty weak hand.  Hopefully you don't get scared out of your cornz.


If you don't overinvest, then you should not have anything to worry about.  We are within less than 20% from ATH prices, and so if you had been buying BTC since your forum registration date, then you should be in a pretty good situation right now.

Just think about it.  If you had been investing $100 per week since November 2017, you would have invested right around $34k and you would have around 2.7352 BTC.  Not a bad place to be.


Sell some then.  Shave off some profits.  NO need to be over invested if you cannot handle it.


That is pathetic.  You need to cheer yourself up.  We are here to hold weak hands.  Toughen up soldier.


The price has gone pretty much straight up since November 2022, so yeah, there were a few corrections along the way, but if you look at the chart, it has mostly been up.. so I hardly see any reason to be whining about our being in a place of less than a 20% correction from the ATH.


Are you sure that the anesthesia has worn off?  You are slurring your words.

#justsaying.

There are ways to spread out the pushups and/or even to do modified pushups which make it possible for weak people and even very fat people to be able to do 30 or more pushups in a day... . ..but yeah, I was willing to propose less than 10 pushups in a day as a kind of cut-off even though many of us likely realize that there are ways to do at least 30 pushups in a day, even though no one is proposing to have that high of a standard, and so it just seems that 10 pushups in a day would be the bare minimum to be showing good faith efforts.. even if those might be modified pushups, and I actually would recommend that a guy/gal does modified pushups rather than full pushups if they are not able to do close to 10 pushups in any given set... since if you are building up to making yourself stronger, it is probably better to start out with high reps and low weight rather than high weight and low reps.. so there is something good in doing at least 3 sets of 10 as a kind of starting point, even if they are modified in various ways of keeping the chest higher than the feet or even doing the pushups from the knees rather than from the full body with the feet.


As I type this post, the halvening is in 6 5 blocks -- so about an hour.. which would be between midnight and 1am UTC time.. which maybe it will be closer to 1am.. but it is not easy to know exactly .. because the last six five blocks could get mined quickly on the one hand or they could drag out to take longer than usual, on the other hand.

That is one of the powers of just ongoing, consistent and persistent continuing to buy, even if it is just a small amount.. it helps to reinforce the dedication to the BTC investment, and surely options likely continue to increase with the ongoing investing, especially if maybe the person comes from a poor background and just spends more than 10 years buying small amounts of bitcoin without being tempted into selling them, and then even if the amount is ONLY $10 per week, then after a year it is $520, and after 10 years it is $5,200, and sure maybe it still is not enough, and maybe he needs another 10 years of buying BTC which would end up being $10,400 invested after 20 years (with ONLY $10 per week), and surely the earlier purchased coins would have greater odds of having had appreciated more than the later purchased coins, and even if there are no guarantees of profits, I think that the odds should be pretty good that the guy will have put himself into a better place by buying BTC through that whole time versus his other option of not buying.

Sure I don't mind..

There have been efforts like that in the past to buy at the same time.. but usually they don't go too well.

But yeah.. maybe just sometime during the day by $21 worth.. not a bad idea .. just for funzies.


I had a couple screens open at the same time... and then I got a couple of screen shoots.. but it was more like selecting it, rather than the getting the whole screen.

The other one was just a bit less..




As we had been getting closer to the final blocks, I was thinking that it is going to be really close to midnight.. UTC

Yep.. no coiners and low coiners rejoice..

But in the end?  Who is the one laughing?

Surely not the low coiners and/or no coiners.


You gotta be in it to win it.

Hi Homer.. I'm the guy with the space suit on.. third from the left - standing by his lil selfie..

I think that the odds are less than 50% (perhaps even below 44.44444%) that it will drop below $50k... but yeah, I am not giving any ringing endorsements.. we would have to drop back below no man's land first.. which seems to be right around $55k - and so far, ever since flying from $53k to $60k-ish in a matter of 2.5 days-ish - we have not really looked back.. and yeah, so far we have had a couple of bouts with the upper $50ks, and sure maybe that will end up getting broken... but I am hardly having breaking below $50k as any kind of a base case.. even though surely it could end up happening.


What is the Goxcoin news?  They are issuing their coins or they are not?  What is the news, and why would it affect BTC prices?  A bunch of nothing burgers and add them all up and get more nothing burgers?  Is that what we are talking about?


Oh?  So they are not going to issue the coins?  Is that the news and/or the latest rumor?


Oh?

What is your go back to work price?

The 200-WMA is still going up at close to $40 per day.. and currently at $33,500-ish.

Even if you are correct about shitcoins being wonderful places to make a lot profits, this thread is not about shitcoins or trading, so why is there any need to defend what you believe to be your way to success. 

It is not relevant in this thread, even if you might be correct, which I doubt that you are correct or that you should even trying to argue about the topic, especially since you already conditioned the idea of success upon "actually knowing the craft and how to navigate" .. fuck that dumb nonsense of wasting time, money and energies trying to figure out which shitcoin happens to be less shitty than other shitcoins.... or other dumb pump and dump ideas that really is not related to the ideas of long-term investing that we are talking about in this thread in regards to bitcoin accumulation.


On this part you are correct, so why do you feel any need to defend shitcoins, as if we need to give shitcoins and/or trading and/or gambling any kind of benefit of the doubt.  We don't.  In fact, we should do the exact opposite, which is to be skeptical of any shitcoins, and consider them to be scams, but you want to argue otherwise.   

I don't recall that the date can be entered as two digits, even though Dirty Keyboard said that he was trying to make his script more flexible.

I am pretty sure that your report needs a 4 digit date, so the corrected format of your report should look like this:

100k,I_Anime,62,4052,2024-04-19  


Again?  Why a two digit date?  I am pretty sure that your report needs a 4 digit date, so the corrected format of your report should look like this:

100k,promise444c5,37,960,2024-04-19


Yes.. who knows if Boron19 might be trolling us.

Boron19's report is also wrong  3x7 = 21

4x7 = 28.. ..   either of those kinds of results would be weak and not even worthy of including in the table, and I suggest that less than 10 pushups in any day should not be counted... although there is no way for DirtyKeyboard's script to eliminate any of the reports unless the averages were to be less than 10 pushups per day, which I think would be best to do in order to not too much pervert the results that are showing in the table for the rest of us.


Good idea.  "We" wouldn't want that. 

I can know that I have the "hots for uie pooie" - not sure if I would call that "love" exactly, but hey, no problem.  Why be so strict with mere words? especially when we have life and death real world happenings.

The overwhelming majority of common men do not have lump sum amounts to invest into bitcoin or anything else. So one of the best things that any common man can do is to create his own situation in such a way that he has discretionary income - which means that he has income that is extra as compared with the level of his expenses - so that when he invest into bitcoin, then he can just continue to build the investment.  He is not waiting, he is continuing to build little by little by little through the years.  And, so yeah, with regular investments, he might not end up making much if any progress, even if he puts value into such regular investments.. and also with regular investments, he might not be able to invest $10 per week or some modest amount, yet with bitcoin there are ways to invest small amounts on a very regular basis and over a long period of time.

So, patience may well not be a passive activity, but a kind of activity that is ongoingly reinforced through continued investing into bitcoin and setting aside the stash that over 10, 20 30 years or so may well end up providing a lot of opportunities, even though it is not guaranteed, but if a common man takes measures to protect his stash, then he will have decent potentials of putting himself in a place in which he has more options.


The most likely absence of large capital is part of the advantages that bitcoin helps to achieve for the common man.. If the guy has large capital then his situation is advantages, yet with bitcoin large capital has chances of being built through years, and years and years of ongoing accumulation using relatively small amounts that build with time.. again no guarantees, yet bitcoin continues to appear to be one of he long term greater of asymmetric bets available to someone who is starting out with relatively small capital or little capital to build his capital by putting time, energy and value into bitcoin.


Your ideas sound really mixed up here.

With bitcoin, there are needs to think about trading or fucking around with various shitcoins.  For the common man.  Just stay focused on accumulating bitcoin as aggressively as you are able to do without overdoing it and while making sure that you are safeguarding your coins... and there are no reasons for common men to devolve into trading, gambling or screwing around with shitcoins with some kind of a belief that they need to try to expedite the process of becoming rich because they are poor, and if they think like that, then they are likely going to have fun staying poor if they cannot remove themselves from get rich quick thinking, gambling, trading and/or fucking around with shitcoins.

So even if some common men might ONLY be able to invest $10 per week and it takes him a whole year to get $520 invested, every once in a while he should be removing those accumulated amounts from third parties (such as exchanges) and then moving them to his own personal self-custodial storage ways that are hopefully secure... and maybe at some point advancing to a hardware wallet, yet there are other ways to secure amounts and the level of security might vary  depending on how much you want to store and to assure that no one can access the coins except for you and/or your designated beneficiaries in the case you die or otherwise become incapacitated.


Yes.. it is too fucking bad, if you don't have any discretionary income, then you cannot invest.  So yeah.. life is unfair, but what you going to do about it?

If you never can figure out a way to establish some discretionary income then you are never going to be able to save or invest into anything.

With bitcoin you have to be able to put away money and to be able to forget about that money for 4-10 years or longer, and surely the more that you can scrounge up then you as a lower class person, you may be able to pass up a middle class person who did not save and/or invest.

The ONLY way that you can invest is by somehow figuring out a way to have a discretionary income to earn more and/or to cut expenses, so that whatever you invest you are not going to need for 4-10 years or more.. If you cannot do that, then you won't be able to get direct advantages from bitcoin, and you will ONLY get indirect advantages of bitcoin as a system being more fair than current status quo debt based (fiat based) systems.

I wil admit that there are a lot of folks who are really in bad shape in terms of their income and/or their expenses, so they have to either increase their income and/or cut their expenses to create a system in which they have discretionary income, even if it is ONLY $10 per week... What else are they going to do?  A revolution?  I mean there is ONLY so much that anyone can do to figure out if they can increase their income and/or cut their expenses so that they are able to invest in bitcoin and/or anything else.

and yeah it can frequently take 30-40 years or longer for someone to really save up and potentially get ahead, and sometimes when trying to save up and invest through various fiat systems, you are not fucking going to get ahead, so at least bitcoin provides some possibility of hope of getting ahead for some folks who are able to at least figure out a way to establish a discretionary income in which they are able to save and invest and to tuck away some amount that hopefully is small enough that they ar not going to need it and that they can build their nest egg of bitcoin (satoshis) and protect them while they are stacking them.

We hardly even know each other.

Just saying.


Let's hope that they do not get in a BIG HUGE fight right during your supposed to be "minor" surgery and turn your supposed to be "minor" surgery into a MAJOR breaking point in their relationship.

Let us pray.

I am not sure if I understand your numbers (since you did not seem to give enough information for me to show you the exact formula, but I can attempt to guess and show you what the formula that you post should look like.  

So here goes, and I hope that this does not mess up the numbers, but if you have ONLY two days in which you did 75 pushups on each of the two days, then your report for today would look like this:

100k,Bravut,2,150,2024-04-18

However, if you have more than 2 days then provide an updated report with the more accurate information so change the "2" to a higher number (whatever the total number of days of your participation happens to be), and if you have more than 150 pushups over the number of days that you are reporting, then change the "150" to the actual total number of pushups that you did during the number of days that you are reporting.

So every time that you file a new updated pushup report (whether daily or otherwise) just put the date of the report and put the total number of days first and the total number of push ups second, and the latest date third, with a comma in between each of those entries in the same format that is above.

Dirty Keyboard's script can ONLY read the information if you put it in the proper format, and if you put the wrong information, then his script is going to read whatever information that you put into your report.. So what I had already written will put your name into the next table, but if you want to make sure it is updated with the correct information, then you should put your information into that same proper format within your own post, whether you update it daily or some other period of time that is convenient for you to update your information into your report, and each time that Dirty Keyboard runs his script, the script will put your information in the table based on the latest time that you updated your report with a date that is later than your earlier reports.

Edit:  I see that Dirty Keyboard already explained it, and hopefully I am not providing in accurate information.. but yeah, you can update what I reported with new information... maybe do your next report on the 19th... or I can delete my guess of your information if you want to use the 18th for your report.

Here's my own latest report:

100k,JayJuanGee,74,13505,2024-04-18 

Dddddeeeeeee Dip....


Halvening?


WWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

I was going to say that Tungbulu is in there twice, but you seem to already know that.


Your report is fucked up... It is missing the number of days and it is has the wrong date too.

By looking at your previous table results, maybe you meant to say:

100k,Ambatman,7,730,2024-04-17


There is propaganda around getting people to each chicken or turkey and the white meat of the chicken.. so it is a bit problematic to presume that chicken or turkey would be better sources of protein, nutrients and fats...  and there might not even be any need for seeking carbohydrates.

Surely, I prefer to tell newbies to just say no to shitcoins, yet at the same time, each of us has to recognize and appreciate that everyone has to learn at his/her own pace, and surely sometimes people are not really going to learn or know about bitcoin or how it relates to shitcoins until they consider some of the relationships - yet I still think that if newbies figure out ways to learn about bitcoin first and to establish a decently strong investment practice in regards to bitcoin first, then maybe after a bit of time they can start to look at and consider various shitcoins, but at least if they are doing it from a position of already having had developed knowledge in regards to bitcoin, then they should be in a better place rather going into shitcoins and considering that they have some kind of an equal or similar role as bitcoin...

Another thing when starting with shitcoins would be best to presume that they are a scam or that they are an affinity scam upon bitcoin, so presume that there is something wrong with them including that they are intending to rug pull users at some point, and another thing would be that if you do start to explore shitcoins, then there is no need to come to bitcoin-focused threads like this one and to talk positively about them.. but instead go to some shitcoin threads and discuss those matters within the appropriate other threads that are related to whichever shitcoins you are wanting to discuss.

Maybe better to suggest to buy and to hold and to just figure out a budget in which you can continue to buy BTC for 4-10 years or longer, and then reassess your situation once you start to accumulate a high enough quantity of BTC that you might start to feel that you are able to sell some or to live off of it or to supplement your income with it. 

Much better to have a longer term BTC accumulation plan that involved mostly buying and holding rather than buying and selling, which truly runs risks of selling too much too soon and then becoming disgruntled due to an inability to recognize an appreciate the power of bitcoin as an asymmetric bet to the upside.

He (Gachapin) deserved that tongue lashing.

 


The trend is your friend, and 48 hours would be a very quick turn-around, and the momentum does not seem to be present.

In other words, "it is what it is."

We are not in any kind of surprising place, except for maybe there are some reasons to shake out some "weak-hands", and gosh what do we have?  a 19% correction from our $73794 high from March 14th to our $59,672 low from earlier today.

That hardly seems a thing... but yeah, it is a dip, but still we have not even broken out of noman's land and/or revisited those prices from February 26-28 when we shot up from $53k and into the $60ks without hardly any looking back.

I am not saying that we have to revisit the $53ks to $58ks any more than we have already done, but it should not even be surprising if such a revisiting were to take place.


Funny you even dare to show ur lil selfie... and hopefully for your own good you have not been listening to your own advice and instead have been stacking cornz in the last three years. 

Just think about it.

3 years of stacking cornz at $100 per week would have had been $15,700 invested and just over 0.5 BTC.  Not a bad place to be for anyone stacking cornz in the last 3 years, rather than whining and staying a no coiner.


Well you already got lower $60ks and upper $50ks, you are not happy with that?

So you will be lucky to get mid $50ks and then lower $50ks and then into the $40ks, so each level down is more and more unlikely, and perhaps even wishful thinking, so if you do not have any BTC or you are a low coiner, you are likely going to be in a better position just to be stacking from here rather than waiting for lower prices that may not end up happening.

There is an expression in bitcoin (and surely taken from the mere idea of what markets do), which is "The trend is your friend."  So even if we might not like what is going on, it can frequently be difficult to fight the trend, and sure at some point it is going to reverse, which is part of the reason that I personally do not even try to play around with figuring out which way the BTC price is going to go.. and so if the price goes down I buy and if it goes up I sell, and I have been doing this since late 2015 - yet at the same time, the amount of bitcoin that I sell on the way up tends to be such a small amount that it does not add up to be a large portion of my BTC holdings.. so I never run out of bitcoin to sell, and pretty much through the years, there has been a kind of maintenance of the stash going on.. .and an attempt to stay emotionally neutral to the BTC price direction, even though for sure I am better off if the BTC price goes up, while at the same time, since 2015, the BTC price has gone up and continued to go up so evrerything is good.. even when we might have relatively long dipping periods, the overall tendency is for the BTC price to go up, so in that sense verything has been good and continues to be good for anyone who makes his preparations in such a way that he is biased towards preferring UP.


I will agree with you that both in starting the pushups, when you were ONLY starting out by doing 20 pushups per day, there were probably the first few days that it made sense to NOT increase your pushups by too much while your body was getting used to doing pushups every single day.  But then after a while, your body starts to get used to it, and probably is able to do more and more pushups each day without suffering any kind of meaningful shock.

Also once you start getting above 100 pushups per day and you continue to add 1 pushup per day, the amounts do start to add up, and you might even have troubles doing it when you start getting into the mid-200s per day, even though surely your body would continue to build all along as long as you con't end up injuring yourself.


You should be creating official reports.. so that in a proper format, your current report should look something like this:

100k,Ricardo11,43,1763,2024-04-17  (looks like Tmoonz already mentioned this - I changed the date in mine to match Tmoonz, and of course, if there is any need for a correction, then Ricardo11 should update it to make it correct).


I am not sure how much of an effect the praying route will have, and even the specifics of $100k "very soon" seems kind of vague.   (looks like Tmoonz already mentioned this, too).


You probably have more than 2 options in order to figure out a way to attempt to stay consistent with doing your pushups, yet continuing to attempt to build.

You can also reduce the number of pushups per set..

There seems that there would need to be a kind of minimum number to keep doing in order to keep building, so you shouldn't want to go too light on yourself, and you want to do enough to feel that you are making progress...

And, yeah, if you started out by doing too many, it can take your body one or two days just to recover from the first day of overdoing it, so it can hurt a lot to continue or maybe you have to reduce more drastically than you thought, but there still might be somewhere along the line that you start to feel more ready, willing and able to increase the number of pushups that you are doing per set or the number of sets that you are doing.

But, yeah, making some adjustments seems like a good idea, especially if you think that you are not able to just maintain the same that you did.. and you might not even need to adjust as much as you might be thinking that you need to adjust, because sometimes a little bit of a tweak will be enough and your body will get used to it after a few days.. maybe even after a week or so.

I have already mentioned several times that I have a lot of pains, and there are times that I either completely don't want to do it, or even when I am doing it, I want to stop. but frequently I will just make myself do it.. and I think that the main thing is that I am not at injury kind of levels.. it is just various pains and sometimes just feeling that I don't have enough energy..


You don't need to do 100 pushups per day.  Sure it would be nice, but it is not necessary.

My first 10 days of pushups looked like this:

2/5/24   50
2/6/24   70
2/7/24   50
2/8/24   90
2/9/24   100
2/10/24   120
2/11/24   115
2/12/24   120
2/13/24   130
2/14/24   135

So I did not get up to 100 pushups until 5 days, but then I kept increasing the number of pushups and later expanded to 5 sets rather than 4 sets.

And you don't even need to look like me.. you can do even fewer and just see how you are feeling as you go.


That all sounds good... to find a balance in your quantities and spreading them out.. and yeah, maybe after a week or so you can reconsider if you need to adjust it again.. but there surely is nothing wrong with that, even if each set seems kind of small, your body is likely to get used to it.
 

For sure, in a thread like this, we are trying to talk about a kind of concrete action that any of us should be able to do, as long as we modify whatever quantity and frequency to our own circumstances... so yeah, there can be some similarities to bitcoin in that we can buy into bitcoin in accordance with our circumstances and perhaps build up a quantity of bitcoin..    


Your date formate is wrong.. .. it should look like this:

100k,Troytech,29,1620,2024-04-18


Of course, you would not have to do 200 at once, but yeah 200 in a day, and I am already tending to do more than 200 each day.. so I am not sure if I can do more (or if I want to do more, so I am not sure if I have any more physical or psychological will power in reserves to maybe throw in an additional set or two as compared to what I am currently doing.. it might not be worth it to push myself too much and then end up overdoing it).


Personally, I doubt that you are more healthy from cutting out meat.  You probably are having the opposite effect, depending on the quality of meat that you eat.  Yeah, if you are eating a bunch of junkie processed foods, then that might not be as healthy as if you were eating various quality meat products.


Of course, guys will just volunteer and report what they did and if they did anything extra.

Another thing is that the exact time of the halvening may well overlap the 19th and the 20th...and it is already appearing to be pretty damned close to midnight UTC.. so at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th.. but yeah, that is UTC time.. so maybe it depends on your time zone in regards to what date you count.. or maybe would you change your pushups on the 19th in anticipation of the halvening or on the 20th after you know that the halvening had already successfully taken place (presuming that the halvening will be successful, as it has been so far in the previous 3 halvenings).


Your report format is wrong.

It should look like this:

100k,Tungbulu,3,302,2024-04-18

By the way, your earlier assertion that you are already having difficulties with 100 pushups per day does not make it seem to be a good idea to agree to do 200 pushups on halvening day... but whatever.. you can do what you like.
