it means the mission to infest bitcointalk and sway it into a bitcoin-negative site is working ... Jorge and the team will get their bonuses from Uncle Sam

I wonder why it turns out this way. Initially it was such a quality forum. People meant what they say and you can see that they actually think before they say. Right now, there are so many troll accounts with so many sub-quality posts.

been watching btc38 chat for hints at what chinese are doing they were talking about getting into doge after selling some btsx off and sure enough doge was accumulated and now the pump is on... as they distribute they will be getting back into btsx.. seems like they are starting to do that now.

It was worse in latter part of 2011.

Then we rallied for 2 years.

Trolls and newcomers that got burned cause they invested on the ATH in December. Now they come here and vent...

It's only a burn if you sell!

Whats the point you're trying to get across with those figures?

They are the figures I got as described.  I have no point to get across.  You can draw your own conclusions, or not.

Your methodology in selecting the posts seems to be inadequately described to potentially undermine whether you would be able to take representative snapshots on the given dates. 

Also, your comparative points of June, July and today, seem inadequate time frame to tell any meaningful story - Maybe picking dates over a 3 to 4 year time line may allow some meaningful conclusions regarding changes in interest in topics, though I am NOT even sure about that. 

It does seem that a point you may be trying to make is that there is an increased interest in alt coins and mining, which seems to imply a decreased interest in bitcoin?  Might be some stretch to conclude anything like that too from the data description?

[JayJuanGee]

You will need to mention the limitation in your research. For instance, many of the posts are created from troll accounts. Most of them do not offer meaningful comments. Look no further than this thread.

Surely... but the distortion caused by trolls should be somewhat lessened by counting recently active threads rather than recent posts.  (A trollpost may cause some low-activity thread to show up as active in the sampling window.  However,  a thread that is heavily "infested" by trolls will still be counted only once.)

It can be argued also that even trollposts are evidence of public interest on some broad topic.

Anyway, if the proportion of trollposts to good posts in each category is about the same, they will not have much effect on the percentages.

Whats the point you're trying to get across with those figures?

+1   That's true... there could be some attempts to measure troll effectiveness.

It's amazing how many people fail to grasp that simple idea.

Of course you do, you have an agenda just like everyone else here.

That's why herd-mentality bearishness is so bullish.

Many people ignore history and figure that this time will be different.

See you in 2 years.

Yes, if you sell, then you truly get burned... and the level of that burn will vary depending on how you do it.

Also, so long as bitcoin is ultimately going to rise in price, then you would be able to mitigate your loss on paper by continuing to buy BTC during down trends in the price.  NOW, here, admittedly this downtrend in BTC prices has been quite extreme and prolonged, but really NOT much different from bitcoin history in which some of the downtrends have been equally long and or equally, if NOT more, loss of value in BTC price.

The growth in the fundamentals, during this period seem to be much greater than I had anticipated in the last year.  The network has built out pretty well including mining intensity and difficulty level exponential growth (with the downside of centralization but not a downfall issue), lots of merchants coming on board, ATM machines proliferating, Government regs much less hostile than I had anticipated, and various avenues for big investors and wall street to come in... decent world wide adoption levels..  ease of getting in and out.. .. still need some greater useability developments, but there have been some of those as well... 

Overall btc is looking good.. and when prices rise, then greater public adoption is likely to follow.

You are offended in some way?  or just joking by use of wink?


Edit:  Also, you should NOT be attempting to pull "teacher" rank here, because even though you have demonstrated that you have some teacher and/or scientific skills, you frequently demonstrate that you have less laudable motives in the bitcoin sphere concerning what affect you are attempting to make in these bitcoin discussion circles.  You continue to believe that you have some purpose in being here and contributing your alleged "teachings" - even though you have NOT invested in BTC in any meaningful way...... so your investment seems to be to tear it down by spreading FUD and causing confusion through frequently proposing questionable information with seeming intents to undermine bitcoin.
