So, folks who look into the unseen forces at play know that doing push-ups, or even just claiming you do them online, seems to mess with bitcoin's price. There's this thread that kicked off on February 6, and it definitely seems to have jinxed things, let’s take a look. The price was shooting up for months, but right at the end of January, it started what looked like it could be the biggest bull run ever for bitcoin, if only some folks hadn't jinxed it with their push-ups. When the thread started on February 6, bitcoin was hanging around $42,000. The thread itself didn’t seem to stop the upward trend, probably because not enough people were posting about their push-ups yet. Then what happened? In a historic move for bitcoin, it smashed its all-time high again right near the end of the cycle, close to the halving. This was a totally weird way to end the cycle and kick off the next one, but it had a lot of potential for returns. But by that time, there were plenty of folks in the jinx thread claiming they were doing push-ups, which seemed to kill the upward price trend. And what did we see next? It's all right in front of us. Despite more institutions getting on board, shifts in central bank interest rates, and the halving, the price just hasn’t taken off. It’s all thanks to these annoying jinxes flexing away. I’m starting this thread so we can break down the jinx effect of all these push-ups on the price. And to try and turn things around, I’m gonna let out a few farts. Today I...

Obviously people who report their pushups in that thread are lying. The price chart clearly shows that they are doing barely 68 pushups instead of a hundred. I just did 3 pushups (my personal record) so expect the price start trending towards 3k. You're welcome (for the chance to buy cheap bitcoins).

I don't know if that thread has impacted the value of Bitcoin in anyway or not but I'm pretty sure it has been helpful thread for the ones who post on it about their daily push-ups. Especially the old guys who are above 60 are also part of that thread and I guess they have improved their health to some extent if I'm not wrong. Don't know if they have jinxed the price as I don't believe in such things but surely they have improved their health.

Sorry to ask sir, how would you know if actually people are doing push-ups or do they take photos of them doing push-ups or short video to prove they are really doing the push-ups. Like I could had joined the discussion but when I gat to check on myself and compared with the push up bro I lose interest as I don't want to join a discussion on what I don't do practically do to me it shows not being honest to myself. I am optimistic that bitcoin certainly gonna hit 100k but not by faking a discussion to blend with the trends maybe if there more simpler task like running around the garden for 20 times per day this could had made this discussion looks real. To shock you, let all manager exclude that topic as a paid topic you would see interest would decrease to about 50-60% because they wouldn't want to waste their time on a topic that won't count to their signature post. Taking example from WO, only the real bitcoiner interact in that section even me myself hardly come join discussion over there because I felt it's more about spamming though there cruise while posting there but it's what it is.

Will people still make post if they exlude all the topic in this forum? Alright let me still ask you why did you make post? The 100 push-up a day until Bitcoin reaches $100k thread will still have more member coming in if all manager should exlude as a paid topic people has been making post in that thread when they were not even in any campaign/ signature I started posting there as a newbie in the forum. I believe more Bitcoiner will still post there if they exlude it as a paid topic.

That's not what the thread is about The basics of the thread is to do 100pushups a day anticipating Bitcoin price to reach 100k This helps to keep track of the market current price,engage in discussions regarding Bitcoin and also helps in the health of its participants And definitely not everyone will be able to do 100pushups a day so people just report the amount of pushups they were able to do on that day For God's sake we have a 67 years old man who goes by the name @philipma1957 who participates in this thread and he was able to do up to 50 pushups How many people he's age are able to even get to 30 pushups When I started the challenge I was barely able to cross 50 pushups and I'm a young man in my prime so when he said he was able to do 50 pushups I was challenged I understand you feel the thread is stupid but people are benefiting from the thread why not just leave them alone

There's no "k" in push-up. If you want Bitcoin to reach $100k, you'd better do 100,000 push-ups per day.

Who's to say if they are lying or not? As long as there isn't proof, you'd just have to agree that they do it. AFAIK, you can't jinx something when there are other factors affecting it. That's just superstition and that thread was opened so that more people can be encouraged to hold and also exercise to keep fit.

Do you hear yourself? With what part of your body do you track the price of bitcoin while doing your push-ups?  Who's stopping everyone who cares about their health from doing sports without all sorts of showy reports? You skillfully licked up to the older participant, and that is exactly what the participants of this whole circus can do. Rather the opposite. Let's move their topic to off-topic. How many people will be interested in making reports?

Well it's obvious that no amount of talking is going to change your mind and that's fine by me we are all humans and we have our view to different situations But one thing that does bother me is the fact that you are trying to impose your view on others and actually condemning what others are doing Well all in all that's how the world works

Well, as we have seen, the start of the anti-gaffe programme started to have an effect yesterday, when the price approached $70,000 but that's when the push-up jinxes took notice and started doing more and more, thus triggering the dip. My ability to fart a day is limited. I reckon I'll only be able to do about 43 today, we'll see how things go. And by the way, since you jinxes don't have a clue about doing push-ups, you'd be better off following this programme, I posted it in the other thread when I was debating with JJG. https://www.100pushups.net/

Did you check the WO thread? If yes then you would understand what I am saying, the thing is when you are regularly visiting the WO thread you will see that only few people comment there and those who are wearing signature hardly comment there if not for some reputable members and some upcoming investors. But still I have no issues with that provided that it's a positive thing to forum then whatmore? We all are advocating for bitcoin and as a matter of fact all discussion and fun part is solely meant to be hold here so whether paid or not paid people are free to make a jokes with it.

How I did not notice this thread , I see some of these posts on reddit but the push-up was to relieve stress because after 30 push-ups you will be so tired that you don't even think about sitting in front of the screen and watching Bitcoin's performance. The best I got was 67 push-ups how can these people reach 100 and more.

The 67 push-up you did was it done at ones or you separated it into different sets and reps? if you did all in a go that means you have been doing exercises including push-up because if you are not consistent with fitness you can't reach 67 push-up at ones. For you can reach 100 push up and more if you have been consistent with push-up you can divide it into 4 set  25reps each will get you 100 push-up then you can also do push-ups in the evening you can also decided to go 4 set 25 reps each probably you are getting 100 push up and more in a day.

Don't do that. That's how you get Bitcoin to fork 4 ways.

Well, since the lack of knowledge of basic fitness principles is generalised here, today, while I continue farting to counteract the negative effect of the jinxes on the price with their push-ups, I'm going to take the opportunity to explain something basic, and I think it's going to be the first of the posts about basic points in fitness. Those of you who are doing push-ups, badly, because you do them every day, and you think it can increase your overall strength, do you know what exercise you should do instead? Squats. Why? 1. It's the best exercise to boost your testosterone and growth hormone levels naturally and is a compound movement that works several muscles, so it is the best for improving overall strength. 2. Legs have a brutal capacity for adaptation, we use them every day and the workload that needs to be done for them to need a long recovery period is very high. So, something that might make more sense than doing 100 squats a day would be to do 100 squats 5 or 6 days a week maximum and varying the intensity. For example, if you're able to do the 100 squats in 5 sets of 20, you can try going up to 4 sets of 25 but once you get there it's silly to keep trying to do more squats in one set. You can try doing isometrics, jump squats or putting a weighted backpack on your back (e.g. books). There are a thousand variations you can do at home available on Youtube videos.

Theres little point making it rich if you are too unfit to move without pulling a muscle, thats fair enough. Another strategy would be to address the most negative as the lowest prices are far more reliable then the peaks, visit my gloom thread and post the worst Bitcoin news you can find.   This trash will fuel the next rocket to the moon for sure.  Exercise is bad for you if done badly, so why risk it some might argue lol   I see people running in the road at dusk in a black track suit keeping fit by dodging rush hour traffic which unless you are making the next Rocky montage, this isnt the best thought process or likely to power the next bull run.   Ironically bad news and the surprise to the upside following gloom is practically lab proven science.    I think this whole year's holding pattern is attributable to ETF buy programs which were not the majority previously.   Im sure volatility must have fallen because of this smoothing effect of constant automatic buying. The FED just lowered the Federal Funds rate and markets reacted by raising the market rate for bonds which shows excess volatility.  Any jinx is outside the boundaries of just Bitcoin, we didn't start the fire
