My personal view on trolling, scam-calling and pumping …
Digital cash is an experiment with money. Due to its power to create tokens in a cryptographically secure way that ensures that it cannot be copied or forged, digital cash is fast, safe and depending on the coin: relatively private and deflationary in nature. Some are also decentral and democratic.
In a free market environment, any company, institution or group of stakeholders can opt to create, promote and use disruptive technology, and if they do well, the market will determine the value of their undertaking. This means that from new start-ups, ex-bankers and scammers to genuine businesses, can give it a try. Even companies that use direct selling as their distribution strategy for products and services.
As with any new initiative, there will be differences in view on how to evaluate such initiatives. Competitors will point at weaknesses, in order not to lose market share or investors. Governments will regulate, in order to be able to avoid a democratic money system outside of their control. Banks will study and learn so they will know how to protect their ways of money creation as long as possible. The establishment will obfuscate technical developments by using terminology that is hard to grasp for non-experts, or emphasize dangers, while at the same time hiding the innovative improvements that might help to deal with failing systems in the global financial and monetary areas.
This said, a thread like this shows all of the above elements, it has the established posters, trolls, pumpers, real or allegedly real scammers and fair posters that act out of good faith or genuine worry. As yours truly is generally addressed as sock-puppet or rhetoric monstrum, I shall refrain from arguing about truths, as with any kind of fundamentalism or overly emotional disagreement, you cannot longer argue reasonably. Instead, I will try to bring some humor to this otherwise disturbingly poor thread as a token of good intention and this I do in the form of some (annotated) definitions in the hope we all may benefit from this, or at least have a strong emotional reaction, like fun or dislike.
Fundamentalism - an ‘ism’ with no fun, too much damn, and not enough mental. Bart Ehrmann
(Fundamentalism and freedom of expression and enterprise are on a tensed foot, just as people that trust LEOcoin and those that do not, may start to develop fundamentalist traits while attempting to argue.)
Magic, n. - an art of converting superstition into coin. There are other arts serving the same high purpose, but the discreet lexicographer does not name them. Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary
(Fiat, or trust, is the art that we are attempting to learn in crypto-world.)
Crisis – a mechanism to create problems that cause circumstances beyond one’s control that again call for measures that otherwise would not have been accepted without huge protest
Global financial crisis – a fear, uncertainty and doubt strategy with the goal to reorganize property
Authority – the power to let others abide by your will
Media – Managers of perception that sell lies in order to make their audience believe that authorities protect them (instead of parasitize on them)
Trolls – persons that are sometimes similar to media workers
Democracy – form of government that protects the people for as long as they have the tool to set limits to the power of the authorities
Debt – that what lenders need so they can confiscate possessions without having to work for them
Interest – the price for borrowing money that previously did not exist
Credit – already spending the money that you still have to work for in the future
@all, I will not respond on this post – so take it or leave it.
