is there a section in the forum where they list airdops for BTC holders only?  (don't wanna go through all the crap for shitcoin holders)

Bitcoin only should be default here in Bitcointalk.

Leave the crypto crapto in the dedicated altcoin areas.

I'm BTC only, like many here. Dumping retarded shitcoins on their pumpers to support BTC bags belongs rather here than in an altcoin chat ....imo.  
But as you know, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and all of them stink...

Btw did you also tell Phil to take his shitcoin mining and hodling talk to somewhere else, recently?

I was so sure bitcoin is king, in my mind there was no doubt about how to proceed with the first "controversial" fork.   I remember taking a day off work without pay to get some of those fork coins and convert them to bitcoin.  I sang that Dire Straits song all day (except for the Sting part at the beginning - I can't sing that high).  Hmmm... makes me wonder what Roger is up to these days...



 Still stumping for something.  Imagine renouncing your citizenship to a country people risk their lives to get into and then pushing passports-for-money-schemes for citizenship in those countries people are risking their lives to escape.  It seems a little misguided but then... "Borders are imaginary lines" - he's a walking contradiction. He probably thinks if he closes his eyes, we can't see him.

IRS dislike this guy. HOW you can pay your taxes in other country.

Anyways i think the USA has one of the worst systems in the world about taxesm because even when you are not longer a resident in the country you have to still pay your taxes like you are, no?. Correct me if im wrong.

Not other countries in the world chase that much at his citizens.

I'm on a modified version - 100 sips of coffee daily until 100k (and beyond)

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I've never had so much as a sip of coffee in my life.  I'll stick to push-ups.

I'm not saying you didn't say that but if you did say that, I do say I would have remembered.  Just sayin'

That was "what's his name" who said that:  OgNasty

I personally have been bullied by OgNasty into doing pushups, and I was going to start out with 10 per day and work my way up.. but I have already done 50 pushups today.. so maybe 50 is going to have to be good enough for the day... I am not sure.. just have to measure midnight to midnight, and if I feel like doing a few more than that will up my tally for the day.. my plan will still be to work my way up to 100 and then probably work my way back down to some number, and then maybe I will add some other exercises into the mix.. I think that it could be a good habit to do body weight exercises.. even though it can be painful.

Regarding coffee consumption:  I believe that around 8 months ago I already mentioned that I felt that I had to cut back on my daily coffees.. and mostly due to my teeth.. but also I think that I had developed some other bad habits around coffee..that had to do with what I was putting in the coffee.... .. but I am not completely against coffee.. and I do still drink it once in a while.. - just not daily.. and since I am not against drinking coffee, I may end up adding it back into my routine at some point.. perhaps?

If I’m going to be accused of bullying, this is probably the best justification to do so. There is a section of this community who is into eating meat and lifting weights, and those are the folks I’d like to get to know. I’m still on the 100 push-ups a day train. Haven’t been sore yet but I did have to bang out a set of 20 pretty late last night to get my 100 in.

Wait...wait a sec....you can take breaks?

Crypto Fear Returns as FTX Moves to Dump More Tokens; Is Bitcoin Price at Risk?

https://coinedition.com/crypto-fear-returns-as-ftx-moves-to-dump-more-tokens-is-bitcoin-price-at-risk/

What?? I am SO afraid! Dumpy dumpy time? Oh noez... Imma gonna be pooooor

Here are the terrifying details.

FTX recently moved $3.32 million in tokens to Coinbase, Binance, and FalconX.
--snip--
Wallets associated with FTX and Alameda have moved eight tokens to centralized exchanges Coinbase, Binance, and FalconX. Per the disclosure, the moved tokens are worth $3.32 million
--snip--
Specifically, it transferred 1,000 units of ETH, valued at $2.3 million, to Coinbase. Similarly, FTX sent 4.43 million ALPHA tokens worth $411,000 to Binance.
Other cryptocurrencies, collectively valued at $609,000, moved for potential sell-offs, including Powerledger (POWR), Status (SNT), Orchid (OXT), iExec (RLC), Numeraire (NMR), and Nexo (NEXO).

So the ungodly amount of $3.32 MILLION have been moved!! Oh my god I'm terrified.
And how many bitcoin? Hm let me check... oh my, oh my.

ZERO bitcoin. This makes bitcoin price even more at risk amirite? Bitcoin isn't even mentioned in the text, only in the title? It looks very very bad indeed. We're going to zero, folks.



WANKERS. Clickbait. I hope some North Korean blackmailer nukes their site.

Finally fearing for her own political career -being "democratically elected" *cough appointed* into a position that had no opponents-, Ursula Von Der Lies, president of the EU commission, is scrapping the pesticides reduction bill, effectively binning all of (enemy of the citizens) Frans "Adolf" Timmermans' bollocks ideas.

I'll do 100 push-ups tomorrow as penance.

Do 100 sips of coffee. It's healthier. 

I think that there are a lot of studies that the loss of muscle mass is a pretty decent risk for any of us as we age, and there are some theories that we are starting to die after we reach 30.. and of course, if any of us likely realize that  there seem to be deteriorating effects with the passage of time, even though some people do seem to have better genetics than others, I have my doubts that we can completely ignore lifestyle choices.. even though I do consider that diet and sleep might be more important than exercise.

In regards to exercise, and the need to build and/or preserve muscle mass, there must be some attention towards the benefits of resistance training, even though some older folks (and younger folks are guilty of this too) get so much caught up into cardio, so if they do some kind of exercise that requires a lot of cardio, then they might be too tired to even attempt to carry out any resistance training.   Also, some folks who walk a lot become very good walkers, but they still might not be retaining muscle mass as much as they should do, especially when they start getting into their older years.. .. so it becomes more and more difficult to both retain muscle mass and even to build it.  .. so it could be better to at least engage in enough resistance training type exercises to at least attempt some level of maintenance. 

I know easier said than done.. and I think exercise hurts more than it did when I was younger.. and I don't get as many of those endorphin-like feelings. .which may relate to stamina too.. so if you can maintain exercise for a certain period the endorphins can kick in.. and people might get that on a treadmill. .yet harder to build up to it with resistance training since it tends to hurt.

My push-ups are going better than I thought, and I am going to have to keep track in order to try to figure out if I am making progress, and my first set of pushups went way better than I thought that they would because I think that I recall trying to do pushups several months ago, and it did not go very well.. so this time around I was focused on at least trying to see how many I could do in a kind of dry run.. and it did hurt my chest a bit.. so that might mean to try to pace myself a bit in order to build up to it.. but at least I did them flat, and they were pretty full pushups and I did not have to resort to girl-pushups.. meaning doing them from the knees... after a week, I will probably have a bit of a better grasp of where I am at. .and maybe even better after two weeks.. but I am not sure if I can keep it up until $100k .. so we will have to see how that goes... but I am likely not going to end up doing 100 every day.. and so far  with 1.5 days I have only done 50 each day.. and I may or may not be able to get up to 100 today.. I don't necessarily want to push my quantity to such an extent that I end up injuring myself or that I overdo the matter in some kind of a way... "We" should be trying to pace ourselves in these kinds of situations.

I really miss the free money airdrops and forks of 2017...

I don't miss them... even though it was a unique time in bitcoin's history.. so it is kind of nice to have had gone through it.. but I did not find it enjoyable, except that even during those quite troubling times, the BTC price continued to pretty much shoot up.. even though it was nothing even close to shooting up directly.. so maybe a midst all of the confusion, none of us really knew what to do.. if we should sell any BTC and if so, then how much.  I was lucky to have a kind of plan in place, but it was still stressful to follow the plan and it is not that I completely followed it and/or that I did not have regrets, even during that time.

Looking back though.. that was quite an amazing price run.. especially going 78x-ish from late 2015 until late 2017.. even though not as amazing as 2013 (even though I was not with bitcoin at that time, except for buying at or near the tippity top of what had been right around nearly a 100x price run for the year of 2013. and that is amazing too.. and not even a adequate representation of the full run for that whole cycle since the run had already started in 2011/2012...and maybe we could count the correction from $32 and back down to $2 in mid 2011 or if we go to the beginning of 2011 then we might even go way into fractions of a dollar for the then BTC price, so it hardly even seems fair to be counting any of those really exorbitantly low prices that were really niche in terms of adoption or anyone who knew about bitcoin.. and in recent times, I had been thinking that if we start our counting of the BTC price market from around $5 at the beginning of 2012, then at least we might have a bit more of a fair monetary starting point..so then our 2013 run would be more like a 232x.. which seems more reasonable and a more fair representation.. even though surely there were people in bitcoin prior to 2012 who had gotten their coins for less than $5 and even some of them who got their coins for fractions of a dollar...and maybe some of those folks held onto decent amounts of their coins.. maybe? maybe? 

is there a section in the forum where they list airdops for BTC holders only?  (don't wanna go through all the crap for shitcoin holders)

Bitcoin only should be default here in Bitcointalk.

Leave the crypto crapto in the dedicated altcoin areas.

Exactly, it should be the case that if we do not say anything about what we are talking about, then people should presume that we we are talking about bitcoin only.. but then part of the problem comes if we do not say anything for a long period of time, and then pretty soon someone says something that shows that they are NOT on the same page...and gosh there is a lot of that out there... there are still so many people who don't even know how to say the word bitcoin, so perhaps it does not hurt if we throw the word bitcoin in our posts from time to time, just to show that we are on the same page and also to perhaps give some hints to others that they need to make sure that they are on the same page too...

I personally don't mind throwing in a bit of shitcoin talk here and there.. especially if we might be bashing on shitcoins or even describing something that also relates to my lil precious... but yeah, there can sometimes be some slippery slope matters, just in terms of saying something about shitcoins, and truly there have to be some members who truly had not realized that bitcoin is actually a thing that they should know about in a kind of leader category rather than as some kind of part of a supposedly BIGGER things.. without realizing that bitcoin happens to be the BIGGER thing that is actually causing more and more folks to pay attention.. ..and even now, maybe there are some advantages, even when it seems strange that sometimes we are making the same (or very similar) arguments that we had already been making at various earlier times in king daddy's history.

I read a study that showed you begin losing muscle mass at 40.  As I approached 40 a few years ago I made it a point to not let this happen and started doing pull-ups daily along with curls, bench press, sit-ups, climbing stairs, and taking long walks.  So I've been at it for a couple years already, but when I saw the opportunity to get involved in this 100 push-ups per day thing, I decided why not add this into my routine and really push it.  Given that I've been on a muscle building journey for several years, this was probably an easier move to make for me than others, but everyone needs to start somewhere.  That's why I recommended people do the amount of push-ups that the BTC price is.  43 a day should be doable for most people and they can work their way to 100 with the Bitcoin price.  I'm surprised how much of an effect 100 push-ups a day has had on me already.  I've done 440 460 (had to bang out 20 while writing this) push-ups now counting this morning and that will be 500 by the end of the day.  I'm also still maintaining my other workouts, and have added squats to my routine.  I am going to start adding my bench press sets in with my push-ups in an attempt to be able to maintain this longer term, but urge everyone to do something.  Lets all get ripped and rich together.  Even if you start by walking 100 steps, or doing 100 jumping jacks...  Whatever you need to get you started on your journey.  Health and wealth baby!

Wait...wait a sec....you can take breaks?

someone trip over the extension cord again? sheesh

"You can increase your staking reward percentage by pressing this button here, let me show you."

BOOM!

It is pretty shocking that something with a market cap in the tens of billions can be so unreliable.  I'm sure this isn't the last time we'll see Solana go down this year.  It's a shame because most of the newbies I know who get into Bitcoin jump straight to Solana for whatever reason and want me to support it with them.  However, I just can't bring myself to do it.  I thought about buying some when it was around $20 to stake but it's just such a horrible blockchain.  Lots of people will probably get rich from it anyway, but I wish they were making more progress building reliable products.

I sent an smerit, even though I don't agree. . but at least you are backing up your points.. so I have no problem with that.. and sure, I might have to provide my own studies... regarding resistance training being good and also regarding.. some of the problems that exist when people avoid and/or evade resistance training.. especially the elderly (and resistance training is not the same as body building).. but whatever.. for now I don't feel like looking up a bunch of studies, and I will just stick with what I already said regarding some of the dangers of over-reliance on cardio and neglecting (or avoiding) resistance training, especially for the elderly.    And in the end, you can (and you will) do what you like.

If I’m going to be accused of bullying, this is probably the best justification to do so. There is a section of this community who is into eating meat and lifting weights, and those are the folks I’d like to get to know. I’m still on the 100 push-ups a day train. Haven’t been sore yet but I did have to bang out a set of 20 pretty late last night to get my 100 in.

I am already seeing how this is going to take a bit of time to make sure to do the 100.. and I am still thinking that it might take me a week or more to start to feel comfortable to bang them out more quickly.. and maybe I can get to the point to do 3 sets of 33.33, so then that would take less time.. and so I am not going to say how it is going to end up going.. I am o.k... so far attempting to hang with some of you younger wiper-snappers.. but ONLY up to a point.. I gotta  see how it goes.. and usually I am much better to do various exercises on an empty stomach rather than after eating.. so I do have to try to structure around that, and  also sometimes there are things that have to be done in the day, so it could be a little awkward to do 33.33 pushups in a parking lot and not being in exercise clothes.. even though I know I used to do those kinds of things when I was younger.. so sometimes there can be questions of cause and effect relationships in regards to whether exercise causes you to have energy or if your having energy causes you to want to exercise.

These ideas (and list of various actions) are inspiring including some of the various kinds of resistance training, and yeah sometimes we have to figure out how to fit these into our schedule.  

I am also thinking that there may well NOT be a need for high level weights.. but just moderate level of weights.. including some of the exercises that can be body weight only.. and sure no one is saying to completely get rid of cardio.. so walking and other kinds of cardio can be good in moderation, but cardio in itself does not build or maintain muscle mass - especially as we get older, whether that is in our 40s, 50s, 60s or beyond.... and so maybe we cannot even expect to be completely buff at the various ages as we are likely losing some muscle mass. .because there likely are some genetic components, but there are also plenty of studies that involve showing problem of sedentariness.
 

Wait...wait a sec....you can take breaks?  

Whatever it takes...  As an old hustler used to mutter to me often in the 90s, "There's no rules to this shit."

Even though Greyhats seemed to be referring to NOT having to do all 100 pushups at the same time, I also agree that in regards to various other kinds of exercise, there are not any exact rules.

It seems to me that there are probably some kinds of exercises that are better than others, including being able to do it fairly regularly (whether daily or a few times a week) and certain kinds of variations in the kinds of exercises that would include some of the categories of cardio, flexibility and strength... but this pushup challenge is supposed to be daily.. so personally I am willing to try it for a while.. and I was likely exaggerating when I said that I would continue to do them until $100k, even though I am keeping track to see how it goes and if I might get better at it (and it becomes easier without causing other possible issues).

Americans were asked to point Iran on a world map.

Dumb questions deserve a dumb answer.

The only correct American answer:

Q: "Do you know where Iran is on a world map?"

A: "Uh, I don't care."

 

Too cool to care? I guess you could give that as an answer. But it seems more like a defensive reaction.

Personally I would say something ubiquitous like: 'It's where Persia used to be'. That shows you are smart enough to know the answer but too cool to comply with their demand for an answer.

Anybody else taking part in the latest Bitcoin movement sweeping across social media? 100 pushups a day until 100K?
