Today I did 100 Pushups in 3 sets of 35,35,30 in the morning and another 100 Pushups in 3 sets of 45,30,25 for the evening. While i was doing my regular evening Pushups,some of my friends came around to check on me and as a  man I wanted impress them by proving to them that Pushups have made me stronger so I ask one of them to lie on my back that i am going to do 50 pushups carrying him on my back,I tried my best but I couldn't keep up.

Investing in Bitcoin should never think about the volatility of the market because the religion of Bitcoin is to go up and down. So Bitcoin can move down or up in the market at any time depending on the movement of Bitcoin. And I think an investor should never worry about the volatility of bitcoin investment but rather he plans for the long term. It is the best idea of an investor to always plan for the long term when investing in Bitcoin. When an investor invests in Bitcoin, he plans to hold it for a long time and has a goal. Investors always think positively and when the market reaches its highest level they decide to sell it. Since the Bitcoin market is currently in a good position, it is possible to make a profit by investing from here if the bull market can be held. And I think the Bitcoin market is likely to grow even more from next month and Bitcoin will hit a new record of $100k.

for people who are worried about the volatility of bitcoin, then they should not have invested in bitcoin from the start, because before they invest in bitcoin they should have understood the nature of bitcoin which tends to be volatile. and when they have chosen to invest in bitcoin, they should be able to adjust to the bitcoin market situation and focus more on adjusting their investment so that it will not cause potential losses to them.

but that doesn't mean that we don't need to think about the volatility of bitcoin, because it is also necessary to be aware of aggressive market movements, but we just don't focus too much on it so that it disturbs our psychology and makes us think about it day and night.

I don't think investing in bitcoin might lead to any potential losses,Bitcoin have proven to be a reliable coin over the years that someone can invest his/her money on and have peace of time without thinking of loss.I know the market can be very volatile and that his why when investing in bitcoin you should see it as long time investment where you will place your target and allow it to accumulate for a long time in other for you to hit up that target.Maybe the market isn't going your way at that moment and you try to adjust your investment,it might result to looses.

Today it was raining heavily for several hours and the weather was so cold,while I was at home thinking of what to do to keep myself warm i decided to do some pushups to keep my body warm. I did 400 pushups in 8 sets and as I was doing the pushups to an extend I started sweating profusely,my whole body started heating up like a boiling water.I was flabbergasted with the Number of pushups I did today because I never knew I was this strong.

Today I was able to do 100 classic Pushups in 2 sets and 100 knee pushups in 4 sets. If I don't do my Pushup in the morning I won't get my self until I do it. Pushups exercise have become part of the breakfast my body needs/require to function perfectly everyday,so even if Bitcoin reaches $100k in the nearest future I will keep on feeding my body with pushups.

Classic Pushups is one exercise that I have been doing for a long time and its worth doing because it has help me in  building My Upper Body muscles,boost my Strength and help improve my health.

Today I wanted to try something new,another form of pushup so I decided to start Knee pushups exercise for the first time. Since am a novice to Knee Pushup,I downloaded some tutorial videos on how to do knee Pushups and it was very helpful and worth downloading.

I was able to do 120 knee pushups in 3 sets and 100 Classic pushups in 2 sets. I believe combining both forms of pushup will be an advantage to me because it  will help me keep Fit,increase my stamina and boosts my Strength .

I am going to say that I brought my average up to 200 pushups per day for today, yet tentatively, I am now planning to allow my average drop down to around 150 per day, and so it could take more than a month to achieve that, but I am going to take some pressure off of myself, because it is just too much for me to be trying to keep my 200 pushups average.

My plan is to try to do between 100 and 150 pushups, and so I am not going to get stressed out as long as my pushups are somewhere in that range.. and maybe, I will just see how it goes in the coming weeks as far as the next target.

An average of 200 pushups per day is too much. 200 pushups a day can harm the body instead of keeping it physically healthy. Because, when you do 200 pushups, your body feels the stress. Doing too many pushups can cause damage to the body by stressing the body.

https://youtu.be/JRej2i8zZD8?si=wFC9KzWN_9XB8Dzt
From this video you will know how many pushups you should do in a day for your body. From what I can understand from the video, not everyone's physical ability is the same, so how many pushups you should do in a day depends on your physical ability. That is, you should stop pushups when your body feels stressed. Instead of doing your 200 pushups, it is better to reduce the number if your physical capacity is low and your body feels stressed.
 You can test how many pushups your body can do without stress. You should prepare your pushup list accordingly.


@Jewan420 I disagree with you,I have been doing Over 200 Push-Ups a day and its hasn't caused any harm to my body. I think the more number of push-Ups you can do for a day determines how stronger you have become. PushUps exercise will always cause Stress to the body that is why its advisable to have plenty of rest after exercise.

Just like I have said in my previous post, what determined how many push-up one will do is age and stamina in order for you to do good number of push-up you must have the two things I mentioned above and if one is not there ( if you are aged but has stamina or you are not aged but doesn't have stamina), believe me you can not perform well that is to say that one must be young and at same timr have stamina perhaps when someone is young his muscles can withstand  stress or any weight that will be acting downward for considerably amount of time when doing push-ups while aged person can't cause there muscules and body will be weak.

Getting 1k push- up a day can  be very stressful and hard but i think it all depend on your strategy and also how many, one can go in a time though I already have my strategy and using it will take time but i still feel that's the best strategy cause you won't get tired quick, I said it in my previous post but I will say it again for people that will not be able to find that post. The strategy is, first of all draw a square and divide it into the number of time you will like to push-up and then choose a number you will be pushing at a time that will not affect your performance quick  and then start, when you are done with the first round you tick the first box in the square till you finish ticking all the box however, I feel the best way to do without getting stressed out easily is by pushing 10 or 15 at a time and draw like 25 to 30 box. if you can do this in the morning, afternoon and evening I think you will get to 1k if not more than though there will be little or no pains cause of the strategy.

Why would someone wants to do 1k pushups in a day,is this even achievable because I can't even imagine myself or another person doing it in a day. I haven't heard or see it in any records that someone did 1k pushups in day and I might not know how you came up with this strategy of yours but I expect you to test it on yourself and see if its achievable before bringing it up for people to try.

I decided to get 200 push-ups in today to celebrate my 13 year anniversary on this forum. Felt so good that I got some curls and work on the heavy bag in until my elbow got sore. I’m surprised how easily I got 200 in this time. Sort of makes me wonder how many I could do in a day if I really tried. Maybe one of these days I’ll give it a shot. 1000 push-ups the day Bitcoin hits $100K?

What is contained in any constitution should be followed or obeyed by all,both the government and the governed(the people).in this case,all the action of the government and those of the people must be carried in accordance with the constitution.

So for me.Nobody,no matter the position or status is above the law.the supremacy of the constitution makes it to protect the rights of human beings,it should always acts as the defender of the people in order to prevent the government from misuse of powers giving to it by the same constitution.


Constitution has always been the fundamental principles and laws of a nation. Without constitution they will be chaos,breakdown of laws and order in our society. Though the rule of law States that The Law is Supreme and Nobody is above the Law but we all know that  some powerful individuals in our society have proven to be above the law. Although the constitution was created to protect rights of citizens in our society but the government who was meant follow the constitution to govern our society have continued to abuse it.

Rich people really do not know how to spend their money, I mean why would you want to buy something like this? I get that it's bitcoin history, but it is not even that much of a big history of bitcoin at all. In fact, I would say that buying this for a million dollars is a bigger history of bitcoin then the paper itself, doesn't really make sense to me that it would be something this big and I would say anything more than one bitcoin is way too much for this.

I am not saying that I would pay that much, I know that it won't and the resell value of this is nothing, I am just saying even if I had billions, the most I would pay for this would be just one bitcoin and nothing more than that, it doesn't really make sense otherwise.

I agree with you that rich people spend money recklessly but we still have rich folks that channels their money/wealth wisely into meaning things,meaning things like investing on Projects that will create employments, Donating huge amount of money to the vulnerable/Charity homes,contribute immensely to community development.

The rich folk that splashes a million dollars on a piece of bitcoin paper might look like a reckless spender but you should also know that our ways of seeing things are different. I don't thing he would buy that piece paper if its not valuable,that piece of paper he bought can appreciate in values and can be sold in the future twice the amount it  was bought.

[edited out]
....... I know a lot of people here are faking their pushups exercise and might not know the value of eating protein during training nor take this Post very serious

First, how do you know "a lot of guys are faking their pushups?"

Second, how do you define "a lot".. more than 10%, which would be around 4 guys in this particular instance of our currently having 40 pushers who are included in the table?  Or are you referring to guys outside of the table too?

Third, is the lessen about the value of eating protein?  I am not disagreeing with that, but then what other aspects of our diets might we consider?  you have any ideas/opinions about fats?  what about other stuff?  Do you consider that just eating proteins is the key or what else might be going on in terms of diet?.. so yeah the three components of diet, sleep and exercise.. and surely pushups could cover exercise to the extent that there might be other kinds of exercises (or activities) that might be weaved (and vary) into the lifestyles of guys who are currently participating in these pushups..

Fourth.. maybe another side point in regards to considering that not even a lot of guys seem to be participating in these pushups.. or participating in this thread... if currently, we have 40 guys on the table, and how many guys who are not on the table but still may well be participating.. maybe only 10 or perhaps we could have up to an additional 20 guys who might be sporadically doing pushups or who had been doing some of these pushups at various points since this thread started nearly 4 months ago, so it might be really difficult to end up getting up to 100 guys to submit reports in order to end up on the table...

Fifth, getting back to the faker idea, surely it may well be better if they were not fakers, but I would consider quite difficult to verify, so why get worked up about it.. or even presume faking to be a predominant and/or prevalent phenomena.... and if we might confirm someone as an actual faker and we have evidence or the logic of the story does not add up, then what should we do about it?.. If we were to end up having a certain percent as pushup fakers, then maybe we would need some extra non-fakers to make up for the existence of fakers... Maybe there could be a label of "suspected faker?" even though I am not sure how helpful that would end up being or how we might differentiate the ones we consider to be fakers from the non-fakers.


I appreciate you for taking your time to spot out my errors,your corrections are much valued  and appreciated.

But at this time there is to much crap being created and to many collections of just some dumb shit etc
Just too much of it especially for NFTs
I've been thinking about what could be next highly  priced items
Maybe an Art of  the first commercial  transaction  that made btc well known till today.... The Pizza BTC art could  be made in a dynamic way  
In the future more painting and more artwork from Bitcoin will certainly come up and people will spend reasonable amount of money in just having it for themselves. The other day, kylian Mbappé spent a whooping sum of £520,000 for a painting of king pele of Brazil. https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2024/kylian-mbappe-spends-e520000-on-a-painting-of-pele/
As time goes on, people will always spend good amount of money for something they have passion for or can identify their passion with. You and I can actually put up a nice painting of Bitcoin logo that can be eye capturing with all the aesthetics, and we decide to auction it online for people to bid for it, don't be surprised we will see somebody that will be ready to spend a fortune just to get that piece of artwork in his house.

As an average man I would always buy things that I have passion for as long as I can afford it. I wouldn't blame kylian Mbappe for Spending such a huge amount of  money for a drawing, the painting remind him of an old friend that he honors so much.  Sometimes I don't blame the rich folks the way they spend their money,what's is the essence for been rich and wealthy if you can't spend extravagantly  for things you love and desire to have.

While doing push ups and build those muscles we need to consider nutrition in other to achieve those desired muscles, certain foods can help build our muscles, replenish nutrients, avoid fatigue, recover from training and maintaining their energy levels.

I will list some foods that my doctor listed for me that can help while doing this push up in other to achieve our goals properly.
This food I'm about to list contains protein to help someone build muscle. and they are.

Turkey

A cup of chopped turkey contains 37.23 g of protein, while a turkey drumstick contains nearly 27 g of protein.
Like chicken, turkey is a low fat protein source that is adaptable to different meals and recipes.

Cottage cheese

Part-skimmed cottage cheese contains 14 g of protein per half-cup.
Cottage cheese is also rich in calcium for healthy bones.

Salmon

A 227 g salmon steak contains 58.5 gTrusted Source of protein.
Salmon also contains omega-3 fatty acids, which have health benefits, including preventing muscle loss in older adults.

Milk

Skimmed or 1% fat milk contains 8 g of protein per 8 oz, and high protein milk contains 13 g of protein per 8 oz.
As long as individuals tolerate milk, it can be a healthy choice to boost protein and hydration after exercise.
Milk also contains calcium which people require for healthy bones.

Eggs

A boiled or poached egg contains 6.28 g of protein.
Eggs contain the amino acid leucine, which research indicates is essential for muscle synthesis.
Eggs are also a suitable source of B vitamins that people need to produce energy.

Chicken

A medium chicken breast without skin weighing 120 g contains 35.5 g of protein.
Chicken without the skin is a low fat protein source that someone can easily add to different meals and recipes.

Now I will love us to please eat healthy especially now we are part of this pushups challenge, we all need a variety of protein sources and amino acids to build muscle during training, so please let's all encourage ourselves every day.

#eatinghealthy.

When it comes to Exercise and fitness,Then eating a lot of protein is essential and highly recommendable. When exercising our body,the muscles will begin to stretch/expand and  that's is why  eating a lot protein is essential to aid in building those already stretched muscles.

I must thank you for taking your time in creating this writeup,its obvious that you want members of this challenge to achieve real fitness. I know a lot of people here are faking their pushups exercise and might not know the value of eating protein during training nor take this Post very serious but I must advice those who are not faking theirs to start eating healthy.This is why I love this forum because i keep learning new and important things everyday.

In crypto-BTC related stuff i'm curious which will be the next highly priced items (only the exectional stuff) if something comes up you can always share it here...

I was thinking, you know bitcoin has an original logo before someone else designed this new logo anonymously, you can check that out in bitcoin history.

The original logo was BC engraved on a coin.



But i think it would be best as an overpriced Nft

What do you think?


I am pretty sure that this is yet another attempt for money laundering and nothing more, or maybe just a method to tax deduction and nothing more. Those two reasons are quite common in the art world, when you see something and it goes for a million dollars and say "this painting is just red canvas and nothing more!!  how could it be a million dollars!!" well that is the point, they do money laundering, and artists are aware of it and in on it.

You end up paying that much, and you launder the money, OR you just pay that much, and deduct that from tax, then give it to your friend for two million next year, who deducts it, and then he gives... and it goes on. Real art and fake art are obvious from each other, you will understand the reason when you see a fake one. This smells the same way.

This also can be a reason and something to consider... But I don't think its on all the occassions

I hardly think this was used for money laundering, no money laundering would buy an under valued piece of art if his intention was to sell it back unless there was already a plan between him and the seller to in some way get his money back behind the sence after the deal is done.

This is a mere piece of paper just written buy bitcoin on it and someone payed millions for it, the whole senerio looks more like a flaunting or showing off of money than some set up stuff, so I would disagree with you.

I never seen this Btc logo before but the design is very beautiful,thanks for sharing it here.

Keeping the body fit is very important and very necessary but nowadays most people see it as stress though sometimes it can be stressful but you are doing it for your self and to have good health, exercise help one's body to be polite , free and it is therapeutic in nature. Most of the sicknesses we are seeing in the country is lack of exercise. For me not to miss count when doing push up i always draw a box somewhere and I usually keep someone that will be counting and motivating me to do a little bit that am suppose to do, so whenever I am done with the first round I tick the first box till am done ticking all the whole boxes. I usually do 50 very early in the morning before going to shower and same in the evening before shower. Just try this one week and see your body structure or shape.

I noticed vapourminer is not on the list always made by dirtykeyboard, I will love you to always post your report so you can be on the list because you have been part of this wonderful challenge for long and you have also been supportive, I saw your name in the list the early stage of this challenge and till now I have been wondering why you don't post your report anymore so dirtykeyboard can add it on the list again.
#familychallenge.

I always love reading your Posts and I agree with you on this one, Exercise keep us fit,Strong and healthy. I have seen an elderly man at the age of 78yrs who jogs Everyday for at least 2hours, this old man still looks Strong and fit despite his age because he has been exercising his body regularly for  Several years. Men of his age who avoid Exercise because its Stressful And as such avoid exercising their body are already weak and sick.

Pay $1,000,000 dollars for a piece of paper... Is it a page from the book of life? Will my name be written on it that will guarantee me a place in heaven?

I cannot fathom why anyone would pay such a crazy amount for a piece of paper that would add no value to his or her life and I wouldn't do that even if I was the richest man on earth. People are suffering all over the world and if I should give it to charity, thereby putting smiles on their faces or giving them hope not to give up, then it'd be money well spent.

I wouldn't pay this amount for an item as well... but I did pay more for certain things as what they where worth initially. Not the nrs worth mentioning like the paper etc.
Now in wealth comparison what for me is 1k can easily feel the same like 1m for somebody else ... so being super rich is a factor. 1k and 1m being the same feeling for different people comes in play.
I would say even if i'm the richest person in the world I wouldn't pay for such thing... But maybe when i'm in debt or have 0 savings I would say the same for an article of a few 1000 dollars... So not being the richest kind of people makes us say we wouldn't buy such things. But what if we where among the richest then certainly some kind of guilty pleasure would come in mind something we crave for... I think most people wouldn't give it all up for charity and maybe give a small part up for it, but surely most people would buy the stuff they want. Could be luxury items or crazy houses and holidays etc... But actually buying things like the paper isn't that bad bc it cover some important aspects it could serve as a guilty pleasure that makes you happy and being an investment at the same time, not losing wealth and being an investment at the same time... There are so many ways of discussing these things that it becomes more and more intresting.
On the one way I would say never buying on the other way I would say its a genius thing to buy.
I concur on this. Rich folks like doing crazy things just to gain attention from people. Maybe  $1,000,000 might looks like 1k in his eyes but that doesn't mean he should waste It on a piece of paper.if a billionaire can waste millions of dollars just to visit the already wreck Titanic Ship very deep beneath the ocean,then I am not surprised on this one. They love wasting money just for pleasure
