CAUTION: Major big blocker astroturfing going on

[pereira4]

As I predicted a while ago, major big blocker astroturfing would kick in again after segwit activation:

The Bitmain-Ver PBOC sponsored attack on Bitcoin is increasingly obvious as the spam attacks become increasingly less organic and happening right in key moments where hardfork FUD is being spread.

Segwit2x will soon join XT, Classic, and Unlimited into the also ever increasing list of Failed Bitcoin Takeover attempts.

Sorry, no hard forks for you.

The mempol is getting filled again with funny transactions.



The spam machine is on and so is the propaganda one. Obvious example of abnormal upvoting in reddit:



3399 upvotes on an obvious "hey guys im acting neutral but the fees are soo high! :/" type of thread. That type of activity on the votes is extremely obvious to be manipulated.
Also there is evidence of tons of reddit accounts being bought as they became active all at the same time after years of inactivity,

Notice how the user has deleted his past activity now that the account was caught:

archived just in case:

and its well known Roger Ver pays people to retweet his shit:

The agenda is obvious. Notice that by supporting the segwit2x camp, the BCash camp benefits because the more disturbance there is with Bitcoin, the more Bitcoin Cash will gain as noobs will see it as a safe haven when it's the opposite.

Don't fall for the hardforker's propaganda, or you will be sorry when you lose your money. Rushing a hardfork in a month with inferior developers into inferior software creating more confusion and a price crash due 3 Bitcoins is not what anyone holding BTC without no external agendas want, so be sure to not fall for the FUD and be sure to not support these scammers.

I can't believe that such an informative (and true) thread has no replies.
Buuuump this needs way more attention.

Funniest thing I've read all day. I love how surprised people within this community are. "Mom, bad guys on the interwebz are publishing false shit tryna make their SHITCOIN pump".

That's what happens in a market with no rules, no regulations, no nothing. Look at Wallstreet in the 80s. Greedy people will always put their greed first and others second. Bitcoin aint no different if you think so.

Blockstream and Core is publishing the exact same shit everyday and you punks make threads and sing your praises everytime your coin pumps but as soon as the BCH pumps and BTC drops you make angry threads. I love it

I have seen this played out. So what will be done to fix it then?

Miners can just easily reject spam transactions, and already do so.

There really isn't a problem that can't be fixed, but for whatever reason, miners want to include spam transactions so that everything is clogged and they get more in fees.

The incentive is for the bitcoin network to function, but not be as fast. I would not be surprised if the miners themselves are spamming transactions so that they can collect higher transaction fees.
