Going to lose some mountaineers on the arduous climb to 1000, but the sweeter the victory will be for those who persevere.

The JJG character is a real tour de force for NLC/BMB.

The dedication is very impressive.

I wasn't sure there for a while but he won my heart with steadfast determination and a ruthless penchant for mesmerising blocks of text.

Hoping for the price to increase quick in oktober I think the prices will be going up by quite a lot looking at the past.
Staying around this grey area of 600 for a while now and no Idea where the next jump will be to.

I gave up long time ago with most of his "blocks of text." ... The guy is just insane, pure batsh!t crazy! ... I wish sometimes he had a bit of empathy to make his text more readable from the readers perspective. I can tell... because I write as a hobby and when reading other people's work... I tend to get inside their mind very quickly and that annoys me. And when it comes to JJG ... he writes most of his stuff from a self centered perspective. And that makes it hard to read... its like trying to listen to a song/track with/composed of blackboard/chalkboard screechings.

You mean like Stolfi?  Maybe JJG and Stolfi are one and the same?  (JJG, if you are not Stolfi, then dude - just take a hint and get to the point faster, quit rambling, and drop the condescending attitude.   )

Speaking of which, where has ol' JorgyPorgy run off too?  I really miss his long-winded, diatribe-like, innane ramblings about how Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies are completely doomed to fail. /S Paid trolls are so much fun to spot, because they are so obvious.

Stolfi is living on r/Buttcoin now and has done an interview: https://soundcloud.com/bitcoinuncensored/buttcoin-vs-bitcoin-with-jorge-stolfi-of-rbuttcoin-king-of-the-butters

[Fatman3001]

Stolfi is a celeb now. He even has his own following, most of whom don't even know they're being trolled.

Ah, Stolfi. Thing about him was, he was totally sincere. Can't even remember what his arguments were really, but he really believed them.

[gentlemand]

I do wonder about these megatrolls. What an astonishing waste of life it is to write and agitate about something you hate. It's not going to change anything and you're throwing your precious life away while doing it.

If not considering the volume taking place on chinese exchanges today Poloniex is the leading exchange (USD).

There's virtually no USD involved with Poloniex. It's not really any more valid than chucking a Chinese exchange in there.

I could give a ratt's ass about the various disgruntled comments regarding either my style or content.

Further, if you had been paying any kind of attention Torque (even in a minuscule way), you would likely have noticed that Stolfi and I are quite different substantively in our viewpoints regarding bitcoin and our approach to investing in it (or not, supposedly, in the case of Stolfi).  So, if you, or anyone else are getting caught up in style and/or length of post, and believe that those factors indicate any material substance, then you (and those like minded superficial posters) are a bunch of fucking loonies.      


Regarding the activism of Stolfi, he does seem to continue to be fairly active in a variety of bitcoin forums, and surely, he still participates here from time to time and on a seemingly sporadic basis.  Recently, I also heard him being interviewed on Bitcoin Uncensored.  Personally, I think that they gave him too much benefit of the doubt in terms of his "genuine" analysis of bitcoin, because really he seems like a disingenuous sophisticated troll to me, but that is fine, his bitcoin uncensored interview was still informative in terms of covering a variety of current and ongoing bitcoin matters.

Edit:  Regarding Stolfi, I see that Elwar beat me to it, and provided a decent substantive post regarding such a matter.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg16392254#msg16392254

It seems fairly likely that Stolfi went to a place in which he would receive a better reception to his various absurd and insincere arguments.. And from the start, he did credibly indicate that he was participating in this wall observer thread because he perceived this thread to have a decent following and with an ability to get his message out there in a broad way... and so in that regard, it seems that he may have concluded that he gets his baloney message out there in a more effective and broader way by posting in other locations (outside of this particular thread).

I thought that this thread was about USD/BTC?

If you look at your link, the lead in USD is USD/ETH... , so you are seeming a bit off topic and especially when you are not qualifying your observation in such a way to clarify what you are asserting, exactly.

He stopped posting here after Bitcoin broke above $450 and went to $800. That demolished all his arguments in the short term at the very least. Whoever bought at $450 almost doubled their money, while Stolfi had been arguing they were getting ripped off. He was very vocal during the bear market, but disappeared during the bull market.

Because all paid trolls appear en mass during bear markets (to supposedly help the shorters, who are their friends) and completely disappear during bull runs (because no one would care anymore). Also, I'm pretty sure that many bear trolls on this sub also have bull shill accounts, and just switch sides whenever it is convenient for them to do so.  It's pretty easy to spot them in their writing style and tone, not to mention you can see which accounts suddenly appear or practically disappear during which periods.

Which is why I don't really trust the sincerity of anyone that is too overly vocal (either overly bullish or overly bearish) on this subforum.  At all.
