\nCoinMarketCap\u2019 website has seen Bitcoin consistently dominate it\u2019s list firmly at the top, but on April Fools Day this year, Bitcoin was \u201cdethroned\u201d in a surprise move by a new coin \u2013 the Toilet Paper Token (TPT)<\/strong>.<\/span>
\nWhile the token supply is out of stock (maybe you were one of the stock pilers), CoinMarketCap has gone as far as to publish a rather detailed <\/span>TPT Whitepaper<\/span><\/a> on its blog.\u00a0<\/span>

\nMany scientific studies have found that laughter can have healing properties; and, be careful… it\u2019s contagious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No mask needed for blockchain humor<\/b><\/h2>\n

Here are six reasons why you should start laughing immediately (if you want to stay healthy)<\/span><\/p>\n

Laughter is contagious so beware<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you see two people laughing at a joke you didn’t hear, chances are you will smile anyway, even if you don’t realize it. Laughter is contagious: the brain responds to the sound of laughter and instructs your facial muscles to respond appropriately.<\/span>

Laughter boosts immunity and costs less than a vaccine<\/span><\/h3>\n

Negative thoughts can manifest into chemical reactions<\/span><\/a>, (Mayo Clinic), that affect your body by bringing more stress into your system and decreasing your immune system. How would you combat this? Try positive thoughts, which can release neuropeptides that help reduce stress.<\/strong><\/span>

Laughter reduces the stress response (Fight, Flight or…Laugh?)<\/span><\/h3>\n

When you get stressed, your body tenses up<\/span><\/a>. When you laugh, you take in more oxygen-rich air. This stimulates your lungs, heart and muscles. A good laugh can relieve physical tension in the body and relax the muscles<\/strong> for up to 45 minutes (does this mean I can have a good laugh in place of yoga class?)<\/span>
\nQuestion: How many miners does it take to change a lightbulb?<\/b>
\nAnswer: A million – One to do it and 999,999 to verify that he did.<\/span><\/p>\n

Laughter increases resilience<\/span><\/h3>\n

Laughter releases endorphins<\/span><\/a> which can generate a sense of wellbeing<\/strong> and a positive mindset. Mindset as we know, is the key to a good life. Similarly, laughter decreases stress hormone levels and allows your body to automatically relax.\u00a0<\/span>
\nQuestion: How do you make a small fortune from investing in Bitcoin?<\/b>

Laughter combats depression<\/span><\/h3>\n

\nQuestion: What kind of car will you never see a bitcoiner driving?<\/b>

Laughter relieves pain<\/span><\/h3>\n

People who are laughing don\u2019t experience less pain, but laughter can alleviate the pain in the moment – it can help a person overcome discomfort. You don’t even need funny bones to get the message in a meme worth a thousand words.<\/span>
