Title: A sub section in speculation for "conspiracy theories"?
Post by: keithers on August 11, 2014, 06:58:24 PM
Hey all, lately I have noticed a huge inflow of threads that are based on conspiracy theories, such as:

"Is Bitcoin a project by the CIA?"
"Is Bitcoin a project of the NSA?"
"Was Satoshi part of the NSA?"
"Is Mark Karpeles in the CIA?"

etc...

Some of these threads have some substance, and others are outright outlandish...

There are dozens more of these threads and it is getting super repetitive.   Do you guys think it would be advantageous to open a sub-section in Speculation for conspiracies and gossip matters?   It could help "bitcoin discussion" section from being flooded with a bunch of the same threads over and over...

What do you guys think?

No. The Is Bitcoin an invention of the CIA fud/troll threads will soon die down. They don't need their own section.

Nope, just keep on ignoring them. Its the flavor of the month.

I personally think people should spend more time reading than posting, because that would result (at least I hope so) in less unneeded posts.

I wonder however if the CIA is an invention of BTC-post might be onto something...

Any new duplicate threads should probably just be trashcanned. Think half of the people posting them are just trolling or making a joke out of it now anyway.

Isn't there a thread about this?
