I completely agree with you OP. Hashers, as you call them, are just another example of profit mongers that are using Bitcoin to reap whatever short term reward there is out of Bitcoin and convert it to fiat. That's Bitcoins biggest problem as far as I can tell. This community is plagued by them and even has devs that seem to fit in that category. I've always seen pool sysops as profit mongers with the exception of a couple of them. Pool operators don't help the network as much as they help themselves to network power and control. If P2Pool was implemented before the pools took control it could have captured and kept majority control of the network because individuals would have been required to learn its use to reap the reward. Sadly, it's now too late for any meaningful change.
Thank you for your support, I think if we can explain the problem and why it is important, then it would be possible to convert Hashers to Miners. That's a very astute summary of an ongoing issue for a newbie. You've either been watching and reading quietly for years or you're a sock of someone that knows what's going on. I don't mind though. I've done that too. Sometimes you want to cheer and say how great things are going and at other times you want to tell the old timers here exactly how far they've wedged their head up their ass. Multiple accounts work well for that.  |

No trading fees. So those trading can trade 100x more often withy their bots than they can on the other exchanges.
I see. But if the bitcoins actually change hands, then the trades (robot or not) are not fake, and and the price they define is the real price. Non-zero fees obviously drive speculators away from other exchanges. If Huobi's daily BTC volume is now really 4x that of Bitstamp, MtGox and BTC-e (as Bitcoinwisdom seems to show) , then they should tend to control the market, with the others following through arbitrage. Huobi is only big because Chinese have been squirting out kids like shrimp at a buffet for generations. There's no one other than Chinese trading there. |

Maybe this whole thing (last 4 weeks) is a huge pump and dump
Sigh... fait is long term pump and dump. Just hodl. I've been hodling since 5 USD/BTC don't know how much longer I can keep doing this I learned the hard way. The clowns in this thread were able to teach me one thing. The only reason to sell is to buy back in later for a substantial profit. You traded the silk-road shut down. Huge balls. Hell, you've got to have huge balls to trust one of these Bitcoin exchanges to actually function properly! I made a buttload of btc during that panic episode. Just don't trade on Gox. BTCe is actually really fast for trading. |

They go to money heaven like the Confederate Dollar, Reichsmark and Deutsche Mark where Jesus uses them to buy angels new wings.

Does anyone know why a dog licks his own dick?
Maybe for the same reason you "fuck for Bitcoins but nobodys buyin"!  It's because he can! I put that line there after I came up with the idea of my selling sexual favors for Bitcoin. That concept came crashing down on me when I got out of the shower this morning and caught my reflection in the mirror. so did you try licking your junk ? if this means anything is that you have so much time and you should try do something productive I wish I could lick my own junk. I'd save a hell of a lot of Bitcoins! |

Why is every popular post on this forum about Bitcoin failing? Why does anyone respond to these posters? Isn't it a better idea to just let them sink to the bottom of the cesspool and focus on more positive things?
I was not aware "every" popular post is about Bitcoin failing? Perhaps you are confusing fantasy with reality again John. You say on page 11 of a thread titled, "Why Bitcoin is doomed to fail". Who's john? |
