Bitcoin Forum

Ask Metallica, or Obama, or Eminem about the moment they finally succeeded, and anyone who had ever doubted them apologized, and no one ever questioned them again...  
  
Exactly.  
  
Get used to the trolls, because we will have them all the way up to $5,000,000+ per bitcoin.  
  

• When the price goes up a little bit, they will shout "Dead cat bounce!  It's about to fall!"
• When the price goes up a lot you'll hear them rant and rave about "speculators artificially driving up a fake price, and tulip mania."
• When the price stagnates, they'll say "Oh, low volume fizzle!  Bitcoin is dead!"
• When the price does correct a little, they'll gleam with delight and scream, "Look out below! It's all falling down!"
• And when we do face inevitable crashes, they will gloat and sing, "See?  We told you all along.  Bitcoin is dying!"

 
  
But what they ignore, either intentionally or due to their own stupidity is the steady and slow ascent in price over the years, and how bitcoin is getting stronger and more valuable every second.  
  
Trolls are the same fools who think that humanity is doomed and we will be trading for bread, water, and guns soon.  They can't see the glorious truth of the future for their own fear and prejudice.  
  
Pay them no mind.  
  
For you and I will bask in the glory of million dollar plus bitcoins one day, and they'll still be lonely, cold, and telling us what a disaster bitcoin has been from start to finish.  
  
There will always be trolls.  
  
And they will continue to embarass themselves while we get rich. ;D

Trolls? You mean peoople that realize what is going on and no longer live in an illusion?

Those trolls have been right about bitcoin being a sinking ship for over a year now...

So why do you have an activity of over 1000 on an internet bitcoin forum if it's a "sinking ship"?

The concept and motivation behind bitcoin are solid. Basically it's the people that are ruining it.

Greed and ignorance rule the world.

There's for sure a lot of trolls here and they all have different motivations for doing so, but there are also a lot of delusional people who think bitcoin is going to make them into millionaires just as long as they keep holding. Personally I feel like bitcoin has a lot of potential but it's not guaranteed to be realized, but if it is it''s going to be a long journey. In the mean time people will troll or exaggerate with wishful thinking but that's something that isn't even going to change.

Cos the account was sold? Check the early posts and they are written by someone 'normal'. Either they went mental or passed it on to a silly sausage.

 
I'm pretty sure that is not a real quote, but regardless, bitcoin was designed with greed in mind. 
 
In fact, the greedier humans are, the faster bitcoin will consume global finance. 
 
This is the beauty of the beast: there is nothing that can be done to stop the rise of Cryptocurrency on a fundamental level.  Even if bitcoin failed due to technical reasons (highly unlikely), another would take is place.

 
 
Oh, it's you.   
 
Go back to /r/Buttcoin. 
 
Seriously, how many PhD-level tech-enthusiasts make a living trolling bitcoin?  Clearly, you work for some top minds.

You are the classic greedy idiot. You sold at ten dollars. Now you glimpse a way back in, but you were too greedy to buy in at 160. You are doomed to watch yet another bubble develop without you. Must hurt.

 
 
Alexander didn't conquer the world by being a timid bitch.

You forgot "chinese wash volume".

 
  
True and when that price chart hits a vertical line that is way above our previous all time high, slap me if I'm here screaming at the newbies to BUY-BUY-BUY.  
  
But only a fool or a decepticon would say we aren't near a historic bottom after this long crash and all these positive developments.

I shouldn't have to remind you of all people that the date of an account opening != entering the market.

All regular posters know your pathetic story anyway. A sold too soon cry baby, screeching at those who chose to hold and buy more instead. What was it 10,000 posts in 8 months?
 

They are the real trolls and scammers, fuding people to buy their bags. also look at this one:


By the way how pathetic GBTC trades? same goes with the ETF (if there would be one)

Do not trust whatever bulltards told you, they are just selling ponzi to you.

Bubble burst, bitcoin is going back to nil worthless.

It is all relative trollchop. The first major tranche of coins I bought are still worth 10x what I paid for them - even now.

I would wager that in the grand scheme of things your entire net worth and earning capacity are inversely proportional to the volume of posts you spew on here, and probably fairly laughable.

You really believe that there's an entire conspiracy behind the sporadic bearish movements of the market? I don't think it has to do anything with trolls. The days that trading bitcoin was happening between a handfull of forum members are long gone, there are very little things a troll can do to trigger downwards movements to a worldwide market with $20m daily volumes.

Doesn't really seem worth it to buy a Legendary account just to troll, though I suppose it gives the account more 'weight' behind it.





You guys all signed up just to post that? Trolls detected  :D

What will tomorrows lotto numbers be? Anyone who can correctly tell me this will have my attention. Anyone else is a guesser. I don't trade on some emotional guess by some anonymous kid. That is not how you win in the stock, bond, real estate, private investment, and bitcoin markets.  
I look at utility. Is bitcoin the fastest, cheapest, and most secure way to send money anywhere? As long as the answer is yes then this is the infancy of bitcoin. The savings for businesses and individuals is worth trillions of dollars.
This also does apply to claims about immanent spikes and charts confidently predicting specific high prices in the future. As unsatisfying as it is, we are just going to have to wait and see what will happen.

The only conspiracy in Bitcoin is the price being manipulated down and kept down through shorting and active price management through the latter half of 2014. My response was to just do what the big players have done and accumulate like hell over the last few months again at a rate similar to early 2013. Just my view of course.

At the end of the day btc is a gamble. If it pays off for me I'll buy a yacht. Not exactly life changing but worthy of a punt, and I believe in the concept of decentralised money so if it disappears into nothing I will be happy to have been involved.

Trolls are just useful idiots. NLC clearly has mental health issues and based on his user rating on his primary account is highly untrustworthy. Definitely one to avoid given his obsession with child pornography, though I grant that is difficult now he posts through brand new accounts (the others being banned by the mods) so all we can do us click ignore (4 times on this thread alone?).

Wouldn't the cost of keeping bitcoin's price down be enormous? We've seen some evidence of the opposite happening actually (willybot, MtGox bots etc.) but I've heard very few people claiming that the price is systematically being kept down. I know that certain companies and service providers are in direct competition with bitcoin and we can't really have proof that they don't have any involvement in bitcoin's markets. But claiming that the price doesn't follow the market's actual interest and is instead kept down is truly nothing more than a conspiracy theory.

Also speaking of trolls, if OP is the original americanpegasus reddit loves, he's not the most serious person here either.

We agree there. Gambling is mathematically provably bad as an "investment". It's the casino that wins at gambling. But obviously my point is that no one can predict the future.

I think the likelihood is that compared to 2013 there just ain't that many people who are excited about it at present. Unsexy but there's a good chance of it being true.

It's easy to let Gox slip the mind, but that must have wiped out a vast amount of market players and took a lot of enthusiasm with it. We'll continue feeling the effects for quite some time to come.  

Good grief, 4+ socks in one thread. What a very unique and unhealthy individual. What gets me is how some people can authentically think that these are random newbs making posts when the MO is all the same w/ all the old tired pics and shit.

Prices go down based on supply and demand. Not on troll movements lol.

If you know most gambling sites, they actually need to money launder to continue operations. Theres always a demand, its a matter how much a big difference they can get a discount but they still need the coin for easier operations.

Look 90% of transactions, guess where it goes? it goes to a gambling site, and they too also need the same.

OH MY GOD, I read the comments in this thread, and after panicking for nearly 3 hours, I finally calmed down enough to log in to my account and was going to sell all my bitcoins.

But then I see some accusations that all of these people are the same person? What's going on? Is this a case of very rare multiple-conjoined twins? But apparently they always tell the truth, since trusted feedback said so? I'm confused! Should I SELL RIGHT NOW?

The hell with all the alts here...  ???

It's funny right.  :D
One guy arguing with everyone and trying to look like he is part of a group of like minded accounts. Wana see something hilarious ask him to place his money where his mouth is and bet. then it's all crickets and excuses. 

That's not true. He just told me he's going 33% BTCeanie BTCabies. It seems he has also invested in 55-gallon drum of potable water that taste like plastic and piss. I guess people are getting tired of foie gras and caviar, and are turning to piss flavored water.

I am going to follow his great advice. You should too.

Ah there is an actual argument. Are bitcoins like beanie babies in terms of their financial performance?
You correctly point out the flaw in "investing" in beanie babies. Since they are issued by a central authority the supply could be infinite. There are also problems with fungibility, but unknown supply is enough to preclude them from use as a currency of any kind. This was the same problem that led to the Tulip mania in Europe.
This problem is solved by Satoshi because the supply is known to all and is unchangeable. There will never be 21 million coins. Almost, but not quite. The rate of production is also known and comes to about 3600 per day at our current block reward. With bitcoin there is no "company" to manipulate anything. The loss of value of bitcoin is to be expected in a highly speculative market. Speculators guess, some too high. Then it falls back to Earth. Again and again and again.

Bitcoins? Who cares, we want *random scroll on coinmarketcap*  Jinn.

And you know, they (probably) *are* Bitcoin, using the same exact software, just not the same leger.

I like how americanpegasus isn't cosidered a troll but speaks of trolls btw.

Let me answer this for him, BTCeanies BTCTCabies is a better investment than BTCitcoin.
BTCitcoin lost over 80% of it's value over the past year and a half and still keep dropping every few months to a lower level (800 - 600 - 400 - 200 - 100 - 1x - 0)

BTCitcoin ponzi scheme makes people poor.

You can pick any time frame that suits your statistics.  How about if you pick 6 years?

weren't u the guy who sold for 10$?

If true, he must hate himself.

Every day he probably walks in front of a mirror and realises he couldve had his own island... but instead he fucked it up...

they are all falling alterego, no surprise there he is circumnavigating the ban


well or he got out early and he hate himself now, or he want to short and he is trying to spread fud

Great post OP.
Unfortunately you're right, there will always be trolls on the way up & on the way down.
It's human nature, some people have bitter, twisted lives & enjoy trying to spread their negative energy around other people (it's much more rife on the internet than in every day life).
We could be on 10,000 USD a coin right now & there would still be people preaching DOOM.

The best thing to do is ignore it people, with regards to bitcoin if you believe in it as a worthwhile investment / store of value just go about your business & don't be influenced by others.
Most trolls here probably don't own any coins or have very few & just want to hate on others.

(Don't anybody negative respond to this or it just outs you as a troll).

I wonder whether there is a point where it becomes (more) laughable to be a troll.

$10,000 is much further from zero than it is now and for that price to happen there would need to be some very compelling reasons.

Having said that people still shriek about gold and it's only a few thousand years old.
