Scene: Midway through a Morning Gym Session



The gym is buzzing with activity as two gymbros, Mike and Tom, stand near the squat rack. They’re loading plates for Tom’s next set, with Bitcoin and gym math fueling their banter.

Mike: (grinning as he slides a 45-pound plate onto the bar) All right, bro, quick quiz: You’ve got 315 pounds loaded, right? How many plates total on the bar?

Tom: (pausing mid-stretch) Easy. Three 45s on each side, plus the bar. That’s seven pieces of steel—simple math. You gotta step it up.

Mike: (laughing) All right, Mr. Calculator, next level: How many sats would I need to stack to buy this whole gym if each Bitcoin is $30K?

Tom: (grinning) Bro, I live for this. Okay, let’s say the gym’s worth $500K. A Bitcoin is $30K, so that’s... uh, 16.67 Bitcoin. Multiply by 100 million sats per Bitcoin... That’s 1.667 billion sats!

Mike: (impressed) Damn, you’re quicker with sats than plates.

Tom: (mocking) Bro, stacking sats is my cardio. Gym math is just reps for my brain.


---

Mike: (adding another 45-pound plate to one side) All right, another one: If you’re benching 225 pounds, how much weight are you actually moving if you include the bar?

Tom: (quickly) Easy—225 is the plates. Add 45 pounds for the bar. Total is 270. But wait—am I lifting for one rep or stacking sats while repping?

Mike: (laughing) Okay, okay. You’re repping 225 for ten sets. Every rep is worth $100 in sats. How much are you stacking?

Tom: (pretending to flex his brain) All right, ten sets, ten reps each... that’s 100 reps. At $100 a rep, I’m stacking $10K in sats. Let’s go, bull market gains!

Mike: (nodding) Boom! You’re ready for the next quiz: How many satoshis in $10K if Bitcoin’s still at $30K?

Tom: (without hesitation) One Bitcoin is 100 million sats. So $10K is a third of a Bitcoin... That’s 33.33 million sats. Bro, give me a harder set next time.


---

Mike: (stacking the last plate) All right, genius, last one before your set. If we load the bar with 405 pounds, and each plate is worth one Bitcoin, how much Bitcoin are we stacking?

Tom: (mock serious) Okay, bar is the foundation, so zero Bitcoin there. Each side has four 45-pound plates, so that’s eight plates total. If each plate is one Bitcoin... Boom, we’re stacking eight Bitcoin. That’s $240K right there. Let’s go!

Mike: (laughing) Damn, bro, we’re about to lift like whales.

As Tom steps up to the rack, they fist-bump. Bitcoin and gym math may not replace calculators, but it sure makes the workout more interesting. After the set, Mike starts brainstorming Bitcoin stacking challenges for their next session.

The End.
