Are ordinals the reason for the extreme tx fees now?  Is this the new normal or just related to people trying to get into block 840.00?

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.

I am so afraid i will be sad in 1-2 days for not selling bitcoin. But years ago i made decision not to sell and buy or trade, but just hold.

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.

I have a bad feeling what is happen in next days, weeks because we are at around 64k on around 1 hour away to halving.

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

Oh well, balls of steel they say.

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.

But today i am not optimistic on short term or on 1 year term.

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

Someone cheer me up please lol

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

Well, we are doing awesome compared to half year ago

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.

I survived surgery

½ is in minutes.

8 to go.

at jjg the muslimand jewish doctors saved thi catholics but.

maybe their is some hope formus all.

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

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.
I agree with your suggestion, there would be no need to add such a weak report to the table cause IMO if someone really wanted to try and participate in this challenge he woudl try to do at least an average of 30 pushups per day and he won't stop there he should also improve on his pushups and try to hit higher scores, at the end of the day its all for each of our own good in keeping a good physic and staying healthy.

Although some might complain that there are not acquitted with doing this excerise but that isn't an excuse to remain doing just 10 pushups in a day, when you can spread them out the day and even achieve up to 50 for  a weak person, the only reason is see for this is unwillingness to participate in the challenge.

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.

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  


Ohh sorry about that and Thanks for bringing my notice to it , have already done some correction. Well I wanna use this medium to ask .

Is concerning the halving, what date is the main date for 2024 halving. Because most people are saying on the 19th of April

While some are saying on the 20th April and seems a bit confusing to me.

So which date is the exact date for the halving?


Today report loading...

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.
465  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell? on: April 19, 2024, 11:00:58 PM
Ive been hearing about situations where someone buys a coin for a certain rate and not quite long after,  the said coin drops in value, or  someone sells his coin for a certain rate and then it appreciates just after.
What's your take on this? Given the period we're in is it buy time or sell time?
When you enter the market, you must look at the market position and understand that if you are not experienced in this, you will never be able to sell and make more profit. Of course, you should buy when there is volatility in the market and if you buy and hold it will definitely put you in a profit position. You buy from a position where you will not face a loss if you buy, but you will see the possibility of profit in the future. If you enter the market and are not knowledgeable about the market, then you will survive the number of bones compared to the profit, so you need to know about the volatility of the market first. Many times, if you buy when the market goes down a lot and sell when it goes back up, you can definitely make a profit. That's why you should buy and hold when the market starts to fluctuate, sell when the market enters highs, and you will only profit if you continue to do so, and you will be successful.

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.
If the investor doesn't understand what he or she is doing then going in or making the wrong decision when it comes to the type of investment is probably the first mistake he or she makes with their investment. It's always better to have a long term plan to your investment because selling and tempering with the invested Bitcoin like you said will just make the investors grow the urge not to continue as no much value might be added when their is significant increase of the price but when the plan is long term all these worries are left behind because the buying mentality is more fixed and when the price increase is seen it also enhances the zeal to buy more and more despite any fluctuations in the price.

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.
466  Economy / Speculation / Re: buy bitcoin on: April 19, 2024, 10:47:21 PM
Can we all buy $21 worth of bitcoin on the halving day - 20th of April? Let's see what is going to happen if we all buy at the same time.

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.

6 hours left until you lose half of your Bitcoin.
Lucky for those who have not a Bitcoin.
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.

Hey! You got a screenshot!  Thanks Wink
I tried but I accidentally copied something else before tried to paste it.  Doh!  Stupid half beer.

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..



Single digit.

Blocks remaining, that is.

At this rate we'll be there before 4/20 UTC.

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

U.S goverment selling 30,000 coins.

Barry Shillbert still selling.

Low ETF inflow.

Fake Hong Kong ETF pump.

World war 3 fearmongers. (nonsence)

Bullrun not happening anytime soon in fact it will drop below $50k is more plausible.

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.

[edited out]

Yes. You forgot that the goxcoin news will probably cause a dump also.

However, I hope if enough people are bearish the market will go up 

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?

Or just more bullish people who can see through whats not important and just act on what is obvious.

I actually have never second thought about goxx for whatsoever re distributing to hodlers.... whats wrong with that?

*BTC leaving the rest behind it seems...

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

Well if we dip I'll have to go back to work I guess....


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.

Those with full knowledge hardly argue about BTC and shiltcoin but sort the best way that will be favourable on their investment and holding BTC, I realized though I am still  regarded as newbie that most people who compare it argue about BTC and hoping shiltcoin has something to offer are mostly newbie's.
I have come to understand within my little knowledge on this forum no matter which ever method used in investing in btc it's more profitable than investing it on shiltcoin, there is no reason one wasting it time in anything shiltcoin when BTC has made a way to accommodate all sort of people and their level of income, through the DCA method you must not start big but with time you will accumulate greater BTC and this will give rest of mind instead of using because of cheap nature of shiltcoin and run after and comparing at the end it fall you lose all your time, energy and money,were as BTC remain unshakable the best is going for BTC and avoid comparison.
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.
I will say that shitcoins and trading goes together because they are related to gambling and come with great loss when practice.
I totally disagree with this statement here, trading and shit coin has nothing to do with each other, shit coin to me is what most of this developer used to rip investors of their hard earned money, while trading is a craft that comes with it own risk no doubt, but if you actually knows the craft and how to navigate your way around it bro, you will definitely be a profitable traders, so stop comparing shit coin to trading, because it's a craft you must masters for you to be successful in.

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.

But it's more ideal to focus more buying and holding of Bitcoin true the dca accumulating strategy, because to me, it's the easiest way to build wealth overtime, it's what I believe that everyone can do and be successful, as long as you are a long term thinker.

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.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

I did 7 push ups for three days now I know I actually slacked but I intend to get better because I see that all members here are serious and dedicated this have boost my synergy and am willing and ready to kill the pain and work harder by splitting sets of my push ups

I know it is not a competition but my synergy aroused seeing the dedication of most of us for 100k push ups.

100k,Boron19,4,7,2024-04-19
7 push ups for three days that is a joke not even 10 push ups in a day, what you need is Identify your weakness and think of a the best way to go about it, 7 pushups for three days that is more like a procrastination, yeah just like those procrastinating buying Bitcoin, if you don't identify your problems( weakness) there is no way you can get solutions to it. However, is better you tell yourself the truth about your weakness and option for a the best way to go about it, then you can see yourself making progress.

My record for today's morning session.
I splitted it in to four sets to enable me achieve 100 pushups in the morning and in the evening which makes it more easier for me, for morning:
25, 25, 25, 25, =100 I also intend doing so too in the evening session in order to arrive at 200 pushups for the day.

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.

I think I’ll save the swimming for a day when I’m not doing 200 push-ups and heavily partying so I don’t cramp up and drown.  Shocked

Good idea.  "We" wouldn't want that.

472  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin to the common man. on: April 19, 2024, 04:25:54 AM
You make the term 'patience,' sound like the common man should be waiting for profit without making any reasonable investment. The activity that one engage in while waiting for an investment to mature or in the process of starting an investment is what counts and that's how the common man can see opportunities and make profit.

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.

If the dream requires large capital, the common man should know that the best way to make profit from BTC investments is to HoDL for long term.

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.

So if our common man doesn't have the luxury to wait that long, he/she might as well try to trade with BTC to eke out profits, but there would be loss as a newbie to trading, try to complete transaction and do payments for purchases or service across and within the borders of the country of residence and try out other crypto trading on an exchange listing to gain different experience. This would alone make them more interested and have a clear concept of how to make profit/gains from BTC investments both in the long and short term duration.

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.

OP to be honest, in the society where I live the person you are explaining, works hard to earn a living only, he doesn't dream of luxuries and in my view, he spends a peaceful night after eating a good meal, the only problem is he faces sometimes is the worries of earning for his family, they earn and eat they dont focus on the savings. Here I'm not going to mention the challenges and how struggling life they spend but I'm trying to explain in their point of view they dont need Bitcoin, actually Bitcoin is the source of attention for the middle class.

Bitcoin won't even help him a lot as well, because he cant invest enough money to jump from the lower class to the middle. At the same time when we are gonna compare the expenses of our life with them I mean middle with lower classes there's no match obviously.

The investment term is not for everyone because not everyone can afford to invest and take the risk of 2 meals, I think this is where our entire financial system lacks.

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.

It natural, during exercise we burn calories (lose energy), later on (probably after workout) we feel hungry as our sympathetic nervous system is triggered, for the body to regain the lose calories and used energy we eat as food contains calories, but this might tend to others over-eating. It a natural course to feel hungry after exercise, you burnt calories, energy was used up, you have to re fuel yourself again.

My appetite tend to increase after my routine, overtime you will be use to, thus building a healthy body.

Am still up, doing 25 reps in 3 sets, 20 squats before each. I have not being keeping track of it lately on this thread, one of my observation so far is my chest  have broadened a bit, with more muscles, am thinking of, adding dumbbell to be part of the  routine. This thread has helped me develop a sense of consistency as of someone is watching me, if I don't, lol.

JJG can you help me make a report?
I want to keep up my record on the thread, as I haven't lately.

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:

I've been eating roast chickens and spoonfulls of peanut butter.  This is one of those silly moments, but I feel myself taking up more volume, and can see how that feeling of increasing might be addictive.

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

Are you guys eating protein? That's what the body needs to make new muscle tissue!

Chicken and turkey breast has been recorded to have a high quality nutritional values which contains lots of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and fats but contain more of protein which is very good for wellbeing.

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.

Those with full knowledge hardly argue about BTC and shiltcoin but sort the best way that will be favourable on their investment and holding BTC, I realized though I am still  regarded as newbie that most people who compare it argue about BTC and hoping shiltcoin has something to offer are mostly newbie's.
I have come to understand within my little knowledge on this forum no matter which ever method used in investing in btc it's more profitable than investing it on shiltcoin, there is no reason one wasting it time in anything shiltcoin when BTC has made a way to accommodate all sort of people and their level of income, through the DCA method you must not start big but with time you will accumulate greater BTC and this will give rest of mind instead of using because of cheap nature of shiltcoin and run after and comparing at the end it fall you lose all your time, energy and money,were as BTC remain unshakable the best is going for BTC and avoid comparison.

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.

Ive been hearing about situations where someone buys a coin for a certain rate and not quite long after,  the said coin drops in value, or  someone sells his coin for a certain rate and then it appreciates just after.
What's your take on this? Given the period we're in is it buy time or sell time?
When you enter the market, you must look at the market position and understand that if you are not experienced in this, you will never be able to sell and make more profit. Of course, you should buy when there is volatility in the market and if you buy and hold it will definitely put you in a profit position. You buy from a position where you will not face a loss if you buy, but you will see the possibility of profit in the future. If you enter the market and are not knowledgeable about the market, then you will survive the number of bones compared to the profit, so you need to know about the volatility of the market first. Many times, if you buy when the market goes down a lot and sell when it goes back up, you can definitely make a profit. That's why you should buy and hold when the market starts to fluctuate, sell when the market enters highs, and you will only profit if you continue to do so, and you will be successful.

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.

was a bit early but I'm still curious...
...Will 60k hold? opinions?
I say we will probably get at least a fakeout in the 50s. However should new bad news appear (goxcoins or so) I think we will lose 60k until fall
Haha lol
Come on pleaseeee

Lose 60k until fall

Talking like a real noob imo… not that you are…. But the so typical thing to say after a few days of dropping price

Everything is always possible but losing 60k until fall like it’s a sure thing….

Not WO worthy writing…

I don’t want to react hard, but a bitcoiner shouldn’t think like this at all imho.

He (Gachapin) deserved that tongue lashing.

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

It's over.

No new ATH before the halving.

$75k nowhere in sight.

$100k still a dream.

I was told there would be green dildos about now.

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.

It's over.

No new ATH before the halving.

$75k nowhere in sight.

$100k still a dream.
I concur, it’s a triple top formation, the previous two in 2021.

It’s time to sell everything quickly, WW3 is happening, Bitcoin will crash hard, 10k incoming.

Please take this warning, sell now.

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.

I don't think we're getting to 10k anytime soon.

we had so many 70k visit, so now would be nice to revisit 35k,

I am sure this will solve cash storage that pilled top of filled cabinets starting at 70k.

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.

[edited out]
In fact, according to the current situation of Bitcoin, it seems a bit impossible for me to get the price of Bitcoin to 100k in the next 38 days, in fact, according to the current situation of Bitcoin, it seems that Bitcoin will be pumping not very soon.

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 am so optimistic about Bitcoin, I have decided that I will continue this challenge until the price of Bitcoin crosses 100K, even if I have to wait until the day I do 100 push-ups or 150 push-ups in one day.

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.

I agreed to wait and I will continue the challenge by increasing the push-ups by one each day. My body has become accustomed to giving push-ups like this every day.

Today is day 43 of my push-ups challenge, and I've done 62 push-ups today, and my total push-ups since the challenge started is 1,763push-ups.

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).

Please pray for me, that I can continue the challenge well till the end, and that the value of Bitcoin will cross 100K very soon.

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).

If our bodies are not necessarily young, and so if we do pushups throughout the day, there may be 3-6 hours between sets.. and depending on if there are 3 or 5 sets in a day, or maybe even more, but I have personally found  5 sets in a day scattered through the whole day to be helpful to be able to carry out the task, including that there continues to be a lot of soreness when adding this kind of activity to a routine and maybe either we had not been doing this kind of activity or that some of us are not very young, so there can be issues with recuperation time.. some older folks might have to start with just a couple sets per day, but then it probably still could be good to try to do something like 5 sets throughout the day, and just trying to figure out how many pushups per set are manageable to balance the soreness, the recuperation time and strength to do more pushups without injuring oneself or overly exhausting ones whole system (including psychology).
I started off the challenge spreading 5 sets of 20s throughout the day, but I've come to realize that by going 5 sets, I get exhausted and drained pretty fast and I'm unable to manage the soreness by trying to maintain 5 sets. I may not be that old but definitely not in my prime, so I'm assuming this is because ive not been doing this kind of activity in a long while, Hence the reason why I find it pretty challenging keeping up with 5 sets. so right now, I'm left with 2 options, reduce the number of push ups I go per set or increase the number of sets i go in order for me to keep up and also be able to balance the soreness.

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..

I would've considered reducing the number of push ups per set (5) but that'll mean that I'll not be able to actualize the goal of hitting at least a 100 push ups per day.

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.

So since I'm very enthusiastic about accomplishing the task and hitting the daily target, I've decided to increase the number of sets to 6 and reducing the number of push ups to 17 which should give me a total of 102 push ups per day.
I already concluded 4 sets and I've observed that spreading 6 sets of 17 push ups has helped me manage to balance the soreness.
And I've also chosen the the recuperation time between each sets to be at least 2 hours and it fits perfectly on my schedule so I shouldn't be having problems performing the task now.

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.
 
Another thing is doing pushups every single day for 100 days or more. The strategy needs to be more careful in order to not wear ourselves out and to be able to keep doing them day after day after day, and if we overdo how many pushups at a time or put them all together in quick sessions, we may well cause ourselves to become too sore, even though sure maybe some younger members are going to be able to accomplish those quick short sessions without having problems in being able to continue to do them day after day after day.
You're right
Pacing oneself should be one of the most important things to be considered essential when performing a fitness challenge such as this one.
If one fails to maintain a good pace and get too carried away and push too hard and too quickly, they may end up getting sore and burned out very quickly before even lasting up to a week.

While it's important to have the objective of this challenge in mind, it's also very crucial to maintain a good pace, consistency and gradual progression should be our number one guide through the challenge. If you observe that your current technique isn't favourable for you, then there is no shame in making some adjustments, everyone must not use the same technique to achieve the same result.

If your body isn't able to manage going a 100 per day, then you can possibly reduce the number of push ups per day or you sort of a more easier technique to help you achieve your daily goals without wearing yourself out.

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..    

I can see regrets for those that thought of quiting before and now that they are used to it, its all fun for them.

Today I would have exceed all my pushups from when I started till date but I still found myself stopping at 100 pushups, I did have enough energy to exceed but I felt if I do too much the old pain would return and I seriously don't want that for myself now, but nonetheless I'm not gonna stop pushing further now, I'll try adding an extra 5 to each of my sets, making it 25 each, that way I won't feel much pain than trying to add an extra 20 at once to reduce the effect so my body would adjust slowly to the increase in number of pushups.

My report for yesterday sorry its coming late here.

100k,Troytech,29,1620,18/04/2024.

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

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

The halving is really getting everyone fired up, I'm seriously buying into the idea of doing some extra pushups for that day to give it the honour it deserves, but right now I don't think I can go 200 all out at once, maybe a 150 would be okay for me at this point.

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).

I can do other things to make it grand myself, maybe adding making it an all fruits day and vegetables, one day to be a vegetarian to promote my health, that's something I can do for sure  Roll Eyes Grin.

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.

We talked about getting everyone to participate in the challenge on the halving day, how about that, how do we get it done?

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).

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

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.
