I also really like the idea, that's why I participate. I think it's great that others are trying to improve our health through such contests. In our society, we sit far too much inside our houses in front of the computer.
Add to that, as you said for most of the current "crash". I look relaxed. sooner or later that will be over again. We are currently in the summer hole. Last year, around this time, I bought one Bitcoin for ~ 1,560 EUR (~ 1,775 USD), at the end of the year hit against 20,000 USD. In this sense, we are in a good plus for the previous year. It always depends on how you look at the thing and what you expect. And there is so much more to life than just money. ;-)
