Dude are you simply trolling or are there any point you trying to make with this thread. Bitcoin people are no more greedier than the average Joe and they are on average more intelligent than the ordinary Joe. For someone to grasp the concept and to talk about Bitcoin on a public forum are already a step up from the average fiat public. You have to explain in more detail, why you saying.. what you said in your post... to quantify that statement. ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

What is there to explain? People want to get Bitcoins... This does not mean anyone's greedy neither that people who use Bitcoin are more greedy than people who use exclusively fiat.
Bitcoin represents many things fiat does not. But neither represent greed in its essence, not even fiat

Yeah, people want to get $$$ too, do they post shit like this? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs9.postimg.org%2Fv5lpt64sv%2FCapture.png&t=665&c=pbOHAv1jTUk3JQ) Now replace "bitcoin" with "dollar" & cringe.

It does seem like it, doesn't it? But in fairness, this is a forum devoted to bitcoin, that is to say, to a kind of money (let's not quibble on technicalities). A forum devoted specifically to gold or any other valued commodity/currency might produce a similar focus on get-rich-quick type thinking and apparent greed. I've not visited such forums so I have no way to compare, but perhaps others who have could comment.
Perhaps we could broaden the comparison to message forums for collectible items of any sort. Would we be surprised if many of the threads on such forums were devoted to how-to-get-more of the collectible most efficiently, or persuade others to value the collectible more, or encourage others to participate in schemes and plans relating to profiting with said collectible items? In this context, I don't think the frequently scammy appearance of this forum is all that surprising, or unusual (though it is unfortunate.)

>A forum devoted specifically to gold Do you have a link I could check out? Not baiting, honestly want to compare. >Perhaps we could broaden the comparison to message forums for collectible items of any sort. Beanie Babies come to mind. Collectibles I know are vintage cars, tube amps (HiFi & guitar) & guitars. Can honestly say there's no comparison, even though music gear guys are notorious f*ckups. Vintage cars & audio gear isn't even in the same ballpark. What sort of collectables were you thinking? (a link to a forum would help, if you got one) BTW, do metals forums have ponzi & gambling sections?

the sad thing is that they see bitcoin as a quick buck scheme, and they want those coin to dump for fiat and by cigarette and say to their friend that they made easy money to internet, and bought those cigarette with it...

There's a ton of smart people out there that may appear as idiots because they don't speak proper english. I know a guy that is a math and coding wizard but he is russian and when he writes an email he looks exactly like those guys with terrible grammar.

Nah, stupid is stupid, don't blame it on language/cultural differences. If the content worthwhile/interesting, no one would complain about shit grammar. My problem's with idiotic, insipid tripe getting repeated, ad nauseum, in mispunctuated broken fkn English.

Those who posted that are not dumber, but they surely are greedier. They need money, by just posting junk and earning through their signatures. They know that they are posting useless stuff, but they only care about increase in posts, nothing else. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

It´s being translated by bots and so comes out like it´s being written by idiots. Maybe those bots will figure out one day that the definitive article is very little used in Russian.

People have the right to try to say what they want to say. And don't forget that most of them are not native English speakers. Btw if you'll read through the threads you've posted here you'll find a lot of interesting stuff I'm sure. )

i doubt that they are dumber than ordinary people, some of the sentences are just misstyped or translated into english with the google translator, so that does not mean theyre dumb
though i think they might be greedier than the ones that dont use bitcoin at all because they want to get as much money as possible as they know the price might increase because of the pump

You stumbled into signature spam hell, where people with poor English post similar topics to post in. Most of them come here for the money and not because they actually support bitcoin. Just wait till the whole world has internet access.

The old saying there is a sucker born every minute applies well here. You have a newer technology like this and people will use it to try to find all those suckers to take advantage of. Doesn't mean bitcoiners are dumber or greedier that anyone else (in fact most seem to be more intelligent). You just have an environment that caters to new people who seem dumber to people that have been using bitcoin and the greedy people who try and prey on those new people.

The current translators are garbage but this does bring up a good issue. If you can barely speak English should you be allowed to start threads or post? There are enough places on the net to cover bitcoin in all other labguages so why post crap in another language!

You're asking a difficult question right here, albeit I could say that it is a good one. Basically, if you take a look at the speculation section for example you will encounter a lot of people that are really desperate for money (the altcoin section is worse, i.e. people that hope for another 'rise' similar to the one with Bitcoin). I can't give you an exact answer, but in any case you should not make a faulty generalization. You stumbled into signature spam hell, where people with poor English post similar topics to post in.
It has become horrible indeed. However, there are still some people that are signature campaign participants and make genuine posts.
