Is there a technical indicator based on the amount of assholes popping up? If there is, it must be reaching new highs.

Never invest what you can't afford to lose.

And,guys,hold on,we are heading to a new low.

Tell me about it. Sick of these inane threads. I really think a posting cap or limitation should be setup for newbies in the spec sub forum.

Won't help much, we've got a pretty entrenched population of drama parasites already. Ostensibly on both sides of the bull/bear divide, although really the ones I mean don't care which way the price goes - they're just here for the sick pleasure of poking holes in each other and seeing who cries first. Hell, a good few, like the OP here, admit it.

Isn't that the sole purpose of internet forums? :) Since being a total asshole in the real world can lead to undesired consequences, inner assholes are usually released online...

I'm not saying it's uncommon. I'm saying it wasn't that way until, well, about the time the SA goons latched on.  These people just perplex me. Probably they got their jollies pulling wings off flies as kids - I can't see how a healthy person could enjoy being so antagonistic.

There are many things you don't understand.  That's why you flushed your money down the toilet invested in BTCeanie BTCabies  Magic BTCBeans  BTCitcoin.

While the Generalised Asshole Proportionality Exponent has historically been inversely correlated with price, most experienced traders have found that assholes follow price rather than vice versa, so it is not a very useful indicator. :)

In other words, there are bigger forces at work here. Some big industries do not want to lose to the better technology of Bitcoin and are willing to pay trolls to save their soon to be extinct technology.

The first copy machines were destroyed in the middle of the night by professional scribes. It happens with every technological advance.

Elwar: That's just paranoid. There's a variation on Hanlon's razor that's at play here: Never attribute to rational behaviour that which can be explained by malice.

Folks like the king of ignores up there have no grand agenda. They just enjoy pissing in other peoples' cereal.

It would take either a considerably obsessive personality on the verge of insanity to spend so many hours of every day on a website that supports something you do not like.

I give him the benefit of the doubt to say that he is being paid for it. That, at least, would make a modicum of sense.

You seem to be missing the point again.  You're a Bitcoiner precisely because things that are clear to every four-year-old puzzle and confuse you.

And you are here to save us all with your 4 year old knowledge?

No need to answer, you will come up with whatever excuse as to why you are on a website for Bitcoin trying to do whatever it is you think you are trying to do. I am glad that the free market is alive and well when it comes to whatever industry is funding whatever it is you do in the posts I fly past.

If Bitcoin were ever under attack by fiat and banking to the point where rich bitcoiners were willing to pay me to troll whatever the fuck sites that fiat users collaborate on, I too would be more than willing to take such payment if they paid well enough. I would not, however, be willing to waste my life doing so for free. That would be pure insanity of which I would immediately seek professional help upon such a realization.

If you are not being paid, I apologize for belittling your condition.

See?  Typical Bitcoiner:  Asks question, doesn't want answer, thinks he got it all figured out, continues to lose money due to stubbornness & ignorance (which many Bitcoiners take as a point of pride).

Never change :)

I don't know what the guy's saying, but I'm sure it's just flowing with the milk of human kindness pointless and self-aggrandizing, either directly or through belittling others.

Usually have mixed feelings about laughing at the [albeit well-deserved and potentially edifying] suffering of others, but you make things easy :)

Are you talking about that guy on reddit? I think it was a troll post of some sort. I dont think he was dumb enough to literally go all in.
He can still win in the long term but he'll not have the balls to hold for a decade.

well maybe too much money has been lost by a few people to actually be relaxed like you guys who bought in for 5$ and would like to sing the permabull-blues 24/7 until down to zero ...  ::)

You're saying the trolls got burned and are bitter? I don't get that impression from most of them at all.

Because they don't admit it?

There must be quite a few people who bought near $1000 and have been angry the entire slide down, likely selling for a loss at some point. I can see them hating Bitcoin with a passion. Their get rich quick scheme failed hard.

To add to it, these are likely people with no love of the technology and it's potential. The sort of people who jumped aboard only on the wild ride upwards were interested in only one thing.

Speculation: Most (bear)trolls are from the financial world. Most permabulls are techies.

Just talked to the house guy today actually.  Turns out the joke's on you, he used his Bitcoin to open a massive leveraged position in the 600's and closed it just this morning.  Apparently he not only still has his original capital, but a few hundred thousand dollars worth of Bitcoin more in his stash.

Who knew!?





Just kidding.

Noticed the "Just Kidding" only because I quoted the above text.

After quoting your post I see that you have "just kidding" in 1 pt foint.

To be fair to this guy it is possible that he somehow invested his bitcoin in something that would generate more returns measured in bitcoin then the priced has declined in terms of dollars. Or he could have decided that he wanted to open a short position and now has profited handsomely from the price declines
