Title: Why do you get so mad? It's not like I shot your dog. Post by: JackRipper on April 26, 2015, 10:46:50 PM Why do people in the altcoin community take their investments so personally? If someone goes to the ANN thread of almost any coin and asks an honest question that may not make the coin look good, people become hostile. If they go to that thread and express an opposing opinion, they are treated like the Devil himself.
I've never seen such nonsense with any other investment. Most GM stock holders couldn't care less whether I like GM or not. So why are so many altcoin investors so childlike in that regard? What do you think? Title: Re: Why do you get so mad? It's not like I shot your dog.

You're breaking the stereo that plays the music for their bullshit game of musical chairs. Scammers, the lot of them. Fuck 'em. FUD on.

And you'll be surprised some of these people are in their 40's with a family and are actually nice in real life. But on here they act... funny. Try fudding the XMR speculation thread, you'll see what I mean.

Different situation for Bitcoin, it has lots of media exposure, which is why it's more likely for bitcoin bashing to be ignored even though this IS a Bitcoin forum. Title: Re: Why do you get so mad? It's not like I shot your dog. Post by: nextgencoin on April 27, 2015, 04:51:33 AM I hate all these attacks on FUD and FUDDERS, so stupid.
Like you can destroy a currency if you say bad words on a forum lol. It's the defenders of FUD that are the real problem, they are over sensitive about creating a bubble of BS either to fool others or more often than not fool themselves. Any decent coin supporters should say bring on the FUD it won't make any difference. Title: Re: Why do you get so mad? It's not like I shot your dog.

No, only an unrealistic potential can be burst, no one can convince anyone a great prospect is crap unless they have some actual proof. maybe they can push the price down a bit, but even that is a service to supporters who can buy cheaper. The fact is very few coins have genuine potential, even NXT etc only has a few thousand users, it's hardly stable as currency yet, DUH. My favourite coin at the Moment is GEMS cause it aims to get thousands of users through its app which it has a fighting chance to. IF it manages to do that do you think FUD can destroy it? FUD just pricks the bubbles of BS that's all. Title: Re: Why do you get so mad? It's not like I shot your dog. Post by: CIA on April 27, 2015, 05:08:02 AM You hurt the investment. Simple and plain.

The coin's reputation takes an even bigger hit though when community members and even devs tell someone with a question or concern to "f*&ck off." Unstable devs make me dump a coin quicker than almost anything else. Title: Re: Why do you get so mad? It's not like I shot your dog.

Title: Re: Why do you get so mad? It's not like I shot your dog. Post by: rokkyroad on April 30, 2015, 06:45:52 PM Once someone buys a shitcoin they are emotionally invested. They bought the coin with dreams of riches. Anyone imposing on their dream is the enemy. It doesn't matter how scammy the coin is. It's pretty funny actually.

Small Cap Penny Stocks. Besides, there are very few people around here who can affect the value of a coin that much. A large buy or sell may affect the price for a few minutes, but that's usually all. Besides, anybody who feels that strongly that they have to defend their investment is letting fear, not reason, guide them and are their own worst enemy. Title: Re: Why do you get so mad?

Sure, but unreasonableness isn't that rare, or unique to crypto. Perhaps there is more of it, as crypto is a known unknown phenomenon, its where we see how little we still know of economy..Besides, anybody who feels that strongly that they have to defend their investment is letting fear, not reason, guide them and are their own worst enemy.

if you're going to risk BTC in a short term P&D then sure, make sure you can afford to lose it if you don't exit in time. otherwise, STOP BUYING SHIT SCAM COINS and put your btc into worthwhile / longer term coins for great returns later on.

I read some testimonials a while back on some and it shows the mentality and tactics etc. This Altcoin crap is pretty much 90% all Ponzi Schemes / Digital Ponzi schemes and it entails all that comes with classic ones. Like people get suckered into it and then they are stuck trying to fuck over others to try and get out with out going broke etc. hence the deceit all around and lying, back stabbing and a whole lot of online bullying and harassment.

Actually it's an Internet thing and has been going on in stock forums such as the Silicon Investor for years. There is a book called Scam Dogs and Mo-Mo Mamas that I think you wound find very interesting. while reading the book, just replace the word "stocks" with "altcoins" or "Bitcoin" and you could swear that it was written about this place. |
