Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

This is fair enough: selective arguing goes both ways. Glossing over that, selectively, I've been picking up a little more of 2) in the Prof's posts recently. I can't blame him, since he takes a lot of heat here. But I can not engage with him any more. Either one of those is good reason not to waste your time with someone.

Agreed. I selectively respond to his posts if I find them interesting, but I gave up thinking of any exchange with him as a 'discussion' a while ago.


@TakeTheSkyRoad: very nice analogy (the 'garage full of people', I mean). Saved.

The other difference is intention. To be really called a troll, your goal has to be to get a rise out of the majority of those who hold an opinion contrary to yours.

There's the rub.

In a forum like this with so many differing opinions (bull vs bear, techie vs trader, news/event-driven vs TA, etc.) it's hard for anybody not to be considered a troll by someone else.

I'm sure some people consider me a troll for posting silly bear pictures but my intention is simply to find humor in people who take themselves too seriously.

ElectricMucus obviously delights in being contrary but that's just because he's obviously a punk, and his posts are usually witty and humorous.

It's the serious self-important spammer trolls that I find most annoying.

Whats even worsed is hes on a bitcoin forum posting daily about something he doesnt believe in lol classic trollism 101...

And even worse, having to scroll through dozens of replies to every post of mine, by people who have nothing useful to say about bitcoin, but think it is important to discuss my person.  

I like you alright, Jorge. I think that you can be creative and even entertaining, from time to time. I just think that you are a bad influence in this thread, b/c you are misleading people with your seemingly purposeful selectivity in your choice of facts and your sometimes charm... and you have screwed up ideas and perverted motives in your participation in this thread.  Otherwise, you seem to be a o.k. as a person, if you are NOT a bot.  

Thanks you very much, this really means a lot to me, especially coming from you... I rarely read your posts because they are boring as hell and most of the time they do NOT contain any information or entertainment. Thanks anyway. Also:

WELCOME TO MY IGNORE LIST!

How did Jorge convert to a newbie?  Are there two Jorge accounts by the same person /bot or by different peeps/bots?


Edit:   OH... NOW I see that the second Jorge account is a troll account.  Surprising that the system allows two users with the same name?

price will never go below 570 again.

There's real Jorge and fake Jorge. Fake Jorge is far more entertaining.

Slight spelling difference.... Stofli vs Stolfi

Kinda like Jaroslaw vs Walsoraj (who claims not to be Jaroslaw). Walso is more entertaining than Jaro.

The various versions of Random Pedo***** are equally annoying though. They're definitely the same idiot.

Look, ... you make some useful points, and you are consistently polite in doing so... you very selectively choose ... some very good points against ... mistaken assumptions ... it's ... really worth engaging with you. Literally ... because you appear ...very polite...

Oh alright.  What if it rotated into the complex plane, and back in under 570?  That wouldn't be below, it would be *around* 570.

The logarithmic overlay verifies this.

I just bought my first bitcoin. Exciting. Could some please share the actual S.R. 2.0 link. Thanks.

I really like what you did there.

That newbie is not me.

The Bitcoin Goddess is NOT PLEASED.  Guess what She does when She is not pleased.

Yes, Jorge, I'm well aware of that. I thought it was a good joke, is all.
Look, the thing is that although you make some useful points, and you are consistently polite in doing so, you are becoming increasingly strident. The fact that you very selectively choose what to argue - and a lot of people have made some very good points against some of your mistaken assumptions recently - means that it's not really worth engaging with you. Literally no point, because you appear to ignore anything that doesn't fit with what you already believe and move on.
That, unfortunately, effectively makes you a very polite troll. And I mean troll in its proper web-forum sense here, not just 'someone who doesn't agree with you'.

Thanks, Cassius. Nearly 100% my own sentiment (although I hesitate to put a "very polite troll" into the same mental category as a regular, barely intelligible, run-of-the-mill troll... but that's a matter of taste I admit). Please note the unnecessary highlighted parts that I especially agree with

It is a shame. But then, I don't think the Speculation thread is the right place for Jorge, anyway.

Previously, Jorge said that he was posting here, in this thread, b/c it had a lot of traffic, and he could turn around many posts in a day, b/c of the high traffic of this thread.  I am fairly certain he is living in lala land now, b/c he is achieving so much attention.... whether negative or NOT.

Crawling to that 580,-. One step at a time.

YES. YES. I CAN FEEL IT. nomnom

[dreamspark]

Jesus fucking christ I'd rather read about China banning bitcoin and be inundated with bear fud than read 5 pages all about our resident academic.

Can we move on... Please ?!
