Everyone keeps saying people are a "Paid Shill", is there any truth to this?

shitcoin shills are likely bagholders themselves, not needing any additional incentive other than their own delusion.

Yep they talked themselvs into an investment, they likely even truly believe in it. They want to tell you how great it is for one so they can justify it instead of looking like a fool for handing their money away, and for two if they can convince you too and you buy the value of the investment goes up and it becomes self fulfilling..


The ones that actually believe in what they are telling you are not so bad, though can be annoying..
The ones that you know are just trying to tell you some sleazy shit are the ones that piss me off..

I don't know if I've ever really come across any true "paid" shills, the cosest I think I've scene to that would be lower level members of dev teams and "insiders" with dev teams.

I am about 95% sure though that I have came across a pair of true "paid" fudders taking 12 hour shifts.. They were F'n pro's, they were good at what they did.. I think they were from Garza's fleet actually..

I don't know what 'FUD' means but I've heard people bash eth and litecoin most especially.

I think they are simply crypto-traders trying to pump their favorite coin.

It's a shill. No shills get paid, they shill. Lol
They aren't even real people, if they are its just one guy with a bunch of accounts so, no one to really pay.

There certainly are shills out there, you can tell them by the places but as others will likely say sometimes they can be just be speculators ( also nicknamed 'bagholders' ) who have an ulterior motive because they've lost out on their investments and are looking to try and get out by getting other people to bump up prices for them, they're pretty easy to spot though and aren't very subtle.

I will say though the OP brings up a decent point, people may have noticed I'm not posting as much on this forum as I used to and I was wondering why myself lately and I just realised it's because people have been getting very hostile lately. I'm not talking about politics or any of that shit, I actually enjoy chatting there still, however when it comes to discussing anything to do Bitcoin itself, investments or any other kind of services there is a huge amount of shit posting.

Sometimes it's newbies who are just hostile little cunts generally and often turn out to be scammers but also I've seen longer term members here who should know better than to throw accusations at people especially the ones who have been here far longer than them. It makes things very unpleasant around here and I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to have to put fingerpointing twats like this on the ignore list the same way I put stalkers, anti-semites and Muslim supporters all on the list as well because it's the only way to make the board pleasant again.

I think the biggest irony of these types of posters I've seen lately are the ones who go around accusing others of shilling and so on and they have negative trust on their accounts and are known scammers. Or better yet they go around claiming that other sites are scams and then post even more dodgy looking ones as recommendations you see this all the fucking time when there are newbies asking about investment.

The thing as well is, after doing research and I mean some real research into all the maths and such behind investing, I'm starting to wonder if a lot of people screaming about scams and shills actually have no fucking clue of what they're talking about and are just pissed that their $500 investment isn't giving them any decent return. Granted, there are a lot of scams in cryptocurrencies because it's so easy, however even in real investing speculators realistically need at least $2000 to make any kind of decent income.

When you're looking at dividends as well that number is going even higher, so like I said, it makes me wonder, especially when it comes to mining and you have people putting in only $10 and then screaming about what a scam it all is.
