An account is not an investment, at least it shouldn't be. People once came to a forum to exchange ideas about Bitcoin, not to grind change from sig campaigns & to farm accounts by posting technically-passable insipid pap that makes the entire Bitcoin community look differently-enabled.

They also used to come here to READ this forum. They don't anymore, try reading it instead of playing tag with Quickseller, and learn why.
Much of the credit for this goes to you and your friends, the other entrepreneurs "investing time" in accounts.

"With alt accounts essentially comes the trade with accounts."? That's like saying "A right to shoot you in the face essentially comes with the right to own a gun." What kind of fresh idiocy is that?

Yeah, the "muh free speeches" argument Quickseller trotted out may justify having multiple accounts, but doesn't justify buying a farmed account, with all the trust & clout that goes with it.
Duh.
There are reason limitations are put on brand new accounts. Those reasons have nothing to do with being able to afford a fraction of a coin for an aged one. If you think Satoshi started this forum so that you can make money buying & selling accounts & spamming here, you're mistaken.
All stuff that's obvious to stray dogs & slow children, why must it be explained again and again here?
Banning the sale of Bitcointalk accounts right fucking here, on Bitcointalk, by trusted members & forum staffers who love them might make the practice less common. Again, why does such obvious stuff need to even be said?

At least we agree that the practice is disgusting (paraphrasing theymos), I'm glad we're finally discussing the mechanics for stomping it out.

And several times I've replied:
Buying and selling accounts has nothing to do with being able to start a brand new one. Which this one is. It was neither bought nor sold.
How is it you still manage to miss that?

After Quickseller posted with his alt, ACCTSeller, that there are no rules against selling forum accounts, I replied with "This is why we can't have nice things." Quickseller wanted to vent, and so he did. I've explained to him, again, why he's an ass.
Some folks need to hear shit many times before they catch on, I don't hold that against them & oblige.
Get it? 'Coz I'll explain it again, I don't mind.

Now either explain how I "seek protection by the rule [ I ] deem bad," or stop shitting up this thread.

Yeah, you're right. You know what they say tho, qui cum canibus concumbunt cum pulicibus surgent.bitches love Latin.
Please don't mistake this for me undervaluing the importance of this lofty topic - fawning thanking theymos for adding some red text to n00b PMs.

He was "playing"? Now that playtime's over, see my first post in this thread.
If by "we" you mean "everybody," then you're simply wrong: I, for one, do not. But nice tagteam trolling + bonus for earning a few satoshi with your posts.

I've failed to provide you with the elevated philosophical discourse you've grown so accustomed to here, on Bitcointalk?
So sue me

You sound exactly like Quickseller. "We all know"
Unless you're pompous enough to use royal plural, "we" know no such thing.
Quickseller did try to keep his ACCTSeller alt a secret, until he was cornered, like a rat, by another scammer. At which point he owned it, and hence my question re. why he isn't posting from his main account.*

---

*Using "main account" in the broad sense. Quickseller is yet to disclose his original Bitcointalk account, so I wouldn't know if he posts from it

The last thing this thread needs is some sycophant posting snippy comments. Yes, I know that account selling " isn't against any laws," that's why I'm posting this in the meta sections rather than scam accusations.
Rules aren't static, they change. Hopefully for the better. This process can't take place if people ignore the bad rules & STFU.

This is my main account. Not the case with ACCTseller. I know that to be true because Quickseller has admitted to it.

If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

No. Freedom of speech does not mean that people can have multiple accounts. That's nonsense.
"Free market" doesn't mean what you think it does. This forum does not allow the sale of guns, drugs, child porn, or fake IDs.
IRL fake IDs. Selling forum fake IDs is merely "discouraged," but allowed. Don't make it right or smart.
Doing bad things against which no laws exists is pretty much the definition of an asshole, so there's that.
"The community at large"? Is that what you're calling yourself? Outside of the [highly vocal because paid to post] account dealers/farmers, no one does.
So drop the bombastic rhetoric bro, you're a petty swindler.

Nonsense. There is zero need to buy an account to speak. This account was neither bought nor sold. It was made by clicking on the "register" button.
Case in point.
Trotting out freedom of speech to defend your profiteering on this forum is fucking repulsive.
Stop.

It pains me to provide you this opportunity to make a few "relevant" posts with an account you're farming, but so it goes

Any reason you're not posting these pearls of wisdom from your main account? Other than farming this alt?

OHAI Quickseller. Taking your alts out for a morning romp around the forum?


Edit:
>This is also ironic that you are creating so many accounts making shit/troll posts arguing against account farming...
Did not buy or farm this account - I've made it. Myself.
Not sure what account farming/selling/buying has to do with this

This is why we can't have nice things.
