Title: You are so biased... Post by: Come-from-Beyond on October 17, 2013, 07:24:06 AM Reading this forum I noticed an interesting thing. Bitcoin fanatics (don't confuse with true bitcoiners) are very biased. Arguing about future of Bitcoin they love to mention Internet in 1990s, when almost noone believed that it would become widespread. But if someone else mentions Tulipomania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania) and compares it to Bitcoin, these fanatics becomes very angry and a discussion usually finished with personal insults.
If you are a veteran member of this forum, you already know how many people here are biased. But if you are a newbie, don't think you will meet a lot of sane people here. Most of the users are sockpuppets, keep this in mind... Title: Re: You are so biased... Post by: MAbtc on October 17, 2013, 08:54:47 AM Certainly plenty of sock puppets, that's for sure. But yeah, the forum is full of fanatics and uber bulls... it's sort of natural, being a bitcoin forum and with all the speculation around bitcoin. I've pretty much gotten past the point of arguing with fanatics about the future of bitcoin -- what a headache. :)

Title: Re: You are so biased... Post by: b!z on October 17, 2013, 11:29:45 AM That is good advice. Many Bitcoin "fanatics" like to spread positive news, because they think it will encourage buying.
Title: Re: You are so biased... Post by: Come-from-Beyond on October 17, 2013, 12:23:02 PM ...it will encourage buying. Which in turn will raise the price of Bitcoin. 1 million dollar price is the only goal for all those fanatics, they are interested in money, not in Bitcoin adoption. Title: Re: You are so biased... Post by: freethink2013 on October 17, 2013, 12:35:37 PM I still use tulips to buy all my beanie babies but it's a buyers market tbf.

::) Title: Re: You are so biased... Post by: Come-from-Beyond on October 17, 2013, 03:14:54 PM And you consider yourself as what? Biased or not? ::) Yes Title: Re: You are so biased... Post by: Galahad on October 17, 2013, 03:23:28 PM It's just nothing like the Tulips because the price speculation was based on the eventual worth of a commodity which did not have a fixed supply. You can grow as many Tulips as you like but you can't just make more Bitcoins.
But there are a lot of strange comments such as "tomorrow Bitcoin will reach 1 million usd", or "bitcoin, I mean it's just done man!" but I just laugh at all that crap. Title: Re: You are so biased... Post by: MAbtc on October 17, 2013, 05:55:41 PM That is good advice. Many Bitcoin "fanatics" like to spread positive news, because they think it will encourage buying. Yep, I believe it is not so dissimilar to the Yahoo Finance forums (at least when I saw them years ago when I was looking into stock investment). Lots of FUD and wannabe pump-and-dumpers around.Title: Re: You are so biased... Post by: honky1492 on October 17, 2013, 10:00:52 PM ...it will encourage buying.

The highest valued estimation of BTC was about 250.000 USD/BTC. I dont believe it unless USD hyperinflation happens (not likely) Title: Re: You are so biased...

That's where the "troll box" of btc-e came from. The more you buy, the more they'll profit. At least that's the idea. Title: Re: You are so biased... Post by: btceic on October 17, 2013, 10:30:00 PM $1MM per bitcoin is not really that far fetched as you might think, watch the video where Balaji Srinivasan (Co-Founder and CTO, Counsyl) speaks about an early stage investment in FaceBook that yielded a 30,000 x ROI.

Did you compared tulipomania with bitcoins using facts and good arguments? Or you just said "hey guys you know what? bitcoin is a bubble. Cya!!" :-[ Title: Re: You are so biased... Post by: whiskers75 on October 18, 2013, 05:11:38 AM Oh, the alt accounts.
The TradeFortress battle vs. the alt accounts. The drama (CoinChat/WhiskChat) brought here for no reason. The spambots. The hacking. The giveaways. The altcoins (better now, though) Will it all ever stop and just let us talk about Bitcoin? Title: Re: You are so biased...

Just ignore those people :) Title: Re: You are so biased... Post by: Galahad on October 18, 2013, 11:42:11 AM I was always saying that Bitcoin is a snowball. Yes it's rolling down hill picking up more and more snow as it goes. Lets just hope it doesn't hit a wall. :o Title: Re: You are so biased... Post by: darkmule on October 18, 2013, 12:59:54 PM Bitcoin is like that restaurant nobody goes to any more because it's too crowded.
Title: Re: You are so biased... Post by: knight22 on October 18, 2013, 03:57:00 PM Bitcoin is like that restaurant nobody goes to any more because it's too crowded. Wut? How can bitcoin become too crowded? The more people are using it, the more useful it becomes so more people will want to use it. In case you didn't know, you can break out a bitcoin up to 0.00000001 so there is enough for everybody ::) Title: Re: You are so biased...

There's this thing humans have called humor. Interesting, first time I've heard anyone mention Aspies on BCT. We are definitely the driving force of Bitcoin! But I'll be honest I don't get the restaurant comment, why would no one want to use Bitcoin due to it being too popular ??? Title: Re: You are so biased...

You cannot do that with USD. Title: Re: You are so biased... Post by: Come-from-Beyond on October 21, 2013, 10:13:06 AM Now u can't break it up to a satoshi. You can. Example: 1.00000001 BTC.

This is probably one of the most significant inventions in the history of mankind. We are early adopters. It's not just a nice economic boon but a mental one as well. Title: Re: You are so biased...

You, sir, get a tip not just for this post (I place Satoshi right below the likes of Alan Turing, Rosalind Franklin and Nikola Tesla), but for the username "HayekSplosives". ;D +tip 1 mBTC |
