[POLL] Are you doing something to get crypto coins adopted by the public ?

[Spoetnik]

And if so what ?

I will admit i am doing nothing.

And i never really have (i can't think of anything right now)

So if you are all not doing anything tangible how do you expect people to get involved ?

[iGotSpots]

I used to. To very influential crowds. However, now I do not put my reputation on the line, with people whose opinions I value, to join in the middle school sandbox that has emerged in this toxic community

[Spoetnik]

Way before i had butt heads with you Spots i had the same conclusion.
When i came here i was not sure i should get involved at all.
and back then compared to now (or the peak of popularity) things got way nastier.

And i had some family that would take some interest in some stuff i had to say about it.
Like i have a step father who originally showed interest way back..
and later refused to take free bitcoins saying he didn't trust this stuff.

The scene has been shot and pissed on and it is because of the scammy stunts that rolled out.
Biggest stunt is the reoccurring "I wuz hacked" routine + missing coins.

[USB-S]

I try to talk about it as much as I can. I cant really lead them to these forums, just because of people like Spoetnik around. This level of toxicity should be banned in my opinion. For the most part people who want to start using bitcoin don't know really what to do with it after they have acquired them. Much less if they would own any altcoins. This forum would be a perfect gateway for those people. But this shithole has nothing but scammers written everywhere.
I myself have a pretty thick skin for this shit, but it's quite hard for the average person to do anything in cryptoland if every clickbait ends up being a scam. If they're new to being scammed on the internet, then this is pretty shit news for them.

We need to create a community that promotes cryptocurrency without the toxicity and scam that we see here. However that will take atleast 5 years minimum to develop.

True dat, fuck it. I own my share of bitcoins and altcoins. We're going to pulverize this world regardless what happens. As far as promoting bitcoin myself, I can't really do that much. I'm just a man. There are far bigger corporations within bitcoins community that need this shit far more than I do.
Fuck ya all.
If anyone takes my idea about creating a community where the average joe can fuck himself over with other like minded beings. Send me a commission please: 15BXk48kgPCGtXJciYbhKi8HgHasWLiy5L

[Spoetnik]

yup my fault crypto adoption is suffering  

"mentioning" crypto coins ? WOW good work i am impressed LOL
You name dropped Doge coin at the water cooler eh ?

what does coming to a place that permits scams have to do with it either ?
if i leave will you be comfortable sending people to a place that will prob get them ripped off ?

"toxic"

yup.. because if coin cloners and scammers.
not because of guys like me who try and stop them from making coin #8,002

toxic is the idiots pushing scams like you and your stakeminers busllhit Leroy Fodor

EDIT:
I just compared both accounts carefully for an hour.. i am convinced this is the same guy
who happened to show up trolling on me in another forum section.
Both have the same mouthy commentary towards me at the same time.
And before that nothing.
Both seem to have the same level of info and comment style etc.

Leroy Fodor AKA: Cyberpinoy is a scammer with his stakeminers scam
He is mad because myself and others left him negative feedback so to get back at me he just showed up here etc.
I also have a bookmark showing cyberpinoy claiming he has no other accounts.

I do NOT have any other accounts at the present. I have onbly 1 single Bitcoin talk account. I do not need multiple accounts, or to hide behind dummy accounts. I am perfectly fine with my red trust from hypocritical morons like you Spoetnik.

StakeMiers is not a scam, but trolls like you run around this forum bashing it, we have never scammed anyone, everything we do is where people can see and watch, we are slowly growing, and we have made no promises we have not kept. and farthermore we continue to progress and make decision that equally benefit every user involved. So a scam we are not. again just your opinion Spoetnik.

Here is some more of Spoetnik's bullshit opinions

i have fucking credibility and class..

I grew up with my parents robbing banks and have family who wear gang patches on their motorcycles
and i have 15 year long hacker buddies who make the news.. you know shit all little punk.
People start with me ? go for it..

Know who you are fucking with morons.

I got a not guilty charge before for assault with a weapon causing bodily harm.
I grew up with dozens of family / friend who did for manslaughter and bank robber etc.
I have been in so many fights i can't count 'em and i won them all. (many one punch knock outs)
I am a fucking beast and i back up mouth ALWAYS.

I do not care what you are convinced of but check his spelling of "from" which I often mispell as "form" that would be the first tell tale of a double account of mine.

I will have to go look at that thread again and see who you are accusing me of being I will see if I can break in an hour to research and prove you wrong like I do all the idiot trolls here in this toxic community.

OK who is this other user you compared for over an hour? why not just email the admins and ask if its the same person? Or better yet contct those 15 year hacking headliner friends of yours to come in and hack Bitcoin talk and get the logs so you can see for yourself.

Sorry But i am intrigued anyone would want to copy a grammatically challenged person like myself.

[tokeweed]

I point all people in here at this altcoin sub.  I'm sure they'll love what they see.

Edit:  And what 'toxic' community?  Everything is fine.

[Spoetnik]

I tried to talk about Altcoins and this prick came on my topic to Troll me *AGAIN
nuff said.

edit:
i also wonder who the hell "we" is from a guy who runs a scam on his own LOL

oh and yeah i was aware one account makes spelling mistakes and the other does not.
So what.. do you think your clever ?

And i am a nasty mother fucker and it's cute of all people here you would fuck with me.
Don't motivate my lazy ass buddy LOL

And yeah i have long time old school hacker friends gang connections
crime experience and and all kinds of fucked up crazy stories.
i have a bunch of friends over the years murdered in my town.
People all my life think they can fuck with me until i school their ass.
ME 1,001 and everyone else 0
I don't lose anything.

I am better than everyone and have lived a far more interesting life.
I have more interesting things to say and losers wish they were me.

I rarely show my hand but sometimes i need to remind people who they are screwing with.
A fair warning.. do what you want with it.

EDIT2:
I have not been busted scamming anyone.
Did i launch scammy coins or services or scam on a trade ?
Have i been caught Trolling for money or some shit ?
no, no, no and no.
What about you Leroy Fodor ?

EDIT3:
I also often think damn.. i should click report.
This guy popped up here off-topic trolling on me.. pretty much just a random personal attack.
BUT NOPE !
I never do.. because i want EVERYONE out there to see this fucking troll douche yap his mouth.
I want it on permanent record for all to see forever.
I want to cast a bright spot light on the idiocy these little Trolls pull. LOL

How the fuck did you come to a conclusion, that I was Leroy Fodor. You're delusional from all the shitposts you make.
You should take a vacation to the south pole to visit some relatives eh?

US pays you for your shitposting or are you too cheap to even get that contract going?

[Spoetnik]

Stick to the topic please.
Vote.. discuss.. say what you want i don't care.
You don't have to like me or agree with me.

i just ask nicely can you please keep the drama to some other place more appropriate.
You two guys need to think before you talk..
Does the Altcoin community want to hear your off-topic whining ?

People hate me ?
News Flash ..all these guys here in this forum section already know LOL
And i highly doubt they come here to discuss my personal business.. they come to talk Altcoins.
Trying to carry on a little show to bad mouth me here is just going to get yourself ignored.
These guys don't care and don't want to hear it.
And since you guys have been following me around posting on about 6 other topics in multiple forum sections
maybe keep the whiny trolling to the other forum sections.
There is no need for me to see the same 2 guys ranting on at me on 3 topics in each sub-forum i go to.

I get it you don't like me.. sorry but that sounds like a -you- problem LOL

[Nxtblg]

Strong and sometimes heated words: for folks with finer feelings, it's hard to take at first. 

[Nxtblg]

And if so what ?

Sorry, I'm working on a more-or-less blogging project along that liner but I can't supply specifics at the moment. To be frank, I'm working on a blog that's going to be a plain political-campaign-watch blog, which I'm planning to lever into my crypto project, but I'm still bogged down. I expected to be ready-to-go near the beginning of this month!

Damn, I'm a real underestimater....

Anyhoo, thanks for starting the topic - as it's a nice gentle reminder for me to wish I were twins again.

[Spoetnik]

I am surprised how many YES votes we got on the Poll guys.
I really didn't think most people here were doing much more than trading etc.

[Zer0Sum]

I used to. To very influential crowds. However, now I do not put my reputation on the line, with people whose opinions I value, to join in the middle school sandbox that has emerged in this toxic community

Pretty much this.

For a couple of years I promoted cypto as a disruptive tech and as my secondary business...
(Arbing illiquid NYSE niches and Forex has been my primary business for 20 years)...
But the last few months I've completely dropped any mention of any association with crypto...
Since it's a virtual admittance that one is shady... and involved with unsavory scams kinda like pumping junior gold stocks.

Scores of Bitcoin related business have been busy scubbing all mention of crypto from their promos...
And rebranding themsleves as "blockchain" startups... forget about the spike in BTC... this is a very bad sign.

Tim Swanson and Erik Voorhees are all over this ominous development:

Thank you scammers residing at "Altcoin Discussion" BitcoinTalk... for making Bitcoin sleazy and uncool.

[BitcoiNaked]

There are 2 coins that soon will be able to be used on every social media platform globally, one if them is bitcoin and the other one i wont name because people think im advertising but it also uses the bitcoin blockchain. This is great for adoption.

[edmundduke]

I have done a bit but nothing that would effect things on a big scale or would have a real effect on crypto. It is rather hard to really get people in to crypto because most of the coins (except btc) turn out to be scams or they just die off. That doesn't really leave the best first impression for someone entering the scene.
So what i did was introduce players into the HYPER servers. (Where users get points that can earn HYPER for playing and then introduced them to game-shops that use HYPER (and they offer discounts when you pay with hyper). This felt like the best way to introduce it to the players, as the coin is tailored towards them also.
I wouldn't really call it a contribution but its something at least.

[Jason.W]

Yup.

I'm playing crypto financed games.

And trading them.

And holding them.

And actively avoiding mentioning them at all to the public.

Because nobody really wants to hear tomorrow's news today.

Especially attributing it as 'disruptive' is just not the right angle imo. Sure 'disruptive' works when it's some new way to take in caffeine or alcohol. 'Disruptive' is great marketing for sneakers.

But as a monetary tool, 'disruptive' is problematic.

Bitcoin has been marketed as 'disruptive' so long now that that's really what people see it as. Blockchain seems like a new approach to marketing. Hopefully it won't be heralded as 'disruptive' or, at all, really.

I wouldn't call my screwdriver 'disruptive'. It does what it does and that's that. I don't feel particularly overwhelmed every time I open my tool box, so why should I feel any different when I load up a blockchain-based wallet?

[shanem]

It is difficult to go around and tell people about cryptocoins as many people will think you are crazy. We have to be patient. When big companies adopt cryptocoins, the public will slowly follow and use them.
