Sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. - Matt Damon

Twenty seconds?! That would've been seriously insane. I bet you haven't ever jumped into an ice tube, Matt - not even for one of your movies.

I think I stayed there for one second max.

Gotta ask @abh12345 who heard me screaming while he was comfortably sitting inside the 36C degree hot Jacuzzi 😆

You probably still don't have any idea what I'm talking about, so let me explain it.

After a long Saturday's party night closing the Mallorca Blockchain Days, we were slightly knocked out the next day. Sunday morning really turned out to be a tough one.

Anything we were basically able to do was floating around in the SPA facilities of the hotel.

Yet, it seemed as if the Cuba Libres (yes, plural) hadn't been able to completely kill my adventure gene. So I suggested the plan to jump into that ice water tube I had been locating on the other side of the pool area.

No way! - Asher said.

And after testing the water temperature with only one toe, I kinda reconsidered the idea myself.

The perfect moment for a bet!

People really do crazy things for STEEM tokens, don't they?

The Social Club in Palma de Mallorca literally made me do this. Well perhaps it was the Cuba Libre in my hands... but anyways

I give you 2 STEEM if you step in the ice tube til your neck.

Challenge accepted!

Ash didn't mention I wasn't allowed to scream while testing the coldest pool I've ever been in. Did he? 😜

I can tell you the best moment was the one when the pain started to fade.

These were two expensive STEEM tokens. But imagine STEEM was worth $100 USD one day. Then that painful second could turn out to become a very lucrative one!

As a positive side effect the little ice bucket challenge really revitalized me. After a short while I felt so energetic that I even voluntarily repeated the action.

Here's the PoM - Proof of Memo!

You won the bet! Well done for being brave and freezing your ass off for 2 STEEM! 👙❄️

Haha, best memo sent to the blockchain ever!

Thanks for the laughter, @abh12345.

As you can see, the true ice bucket challenges are played on the blockchain.

Best,
