The Most Redundant Topic In This Forum

[robelneo]

Ok just two days ago Bitcoin was trading $ 7,988.1 now while I'm posting this, it's $8,434.13
People keep posting and asking why the price keeps dropping when it will eventually recover they are not looking at the situation heading to the next halving with another potential of another all-time high.
I think Bitcoin's price is the most redundant topic here in Bitcointalk.

You don't have to make a new thread about that topic. Just report it if you feel the topic is redundant. That being said, it's hard to obliterate it because spammers will always make a new one. The trading board or wall observer thread is made for this topic, and I guess it's better if they stick on one thread. However, that's simply impossible, unless somebody aggressively reports them and there is a mod who focuses on deleting those topics.

Creating a new thread to complain about the redundancy is not going to help as much as if you report them.

Nothing special, that's why there's a single board for all of those topics and it's the Speculation board.

[CLS63]

I think there should be one pinned topic about Bitcoin price on this board and people should discuss it daily in there by not opening different topics whenever Bitcoin price changes.

Every time the price drops, there's always someone who'll make a thread about it, and what's the reason behind it. We cannot help it since there's a lot of users here. But if you're tired of that topic, you can just ignore or report it. Simple as that.

One topic that I've noticed to be also redundant is about who Satoshi is. Every time someone would claim to be or found Satoshi, there's always a new thread about it.

I don't know if you are aware of it or not but there is one thread entirely dedicated for discussing Bitcoin price movements. You can find that thread called as 'Wall Observer' in 'Speculation' sub-section of 'Economics' section. Click on link below to visit the thread:

Yes, there have been so many topics about this daily. It's like when there's a slight change in bitcoin's price, a new topic will be created. Those people might be just staring at the price movement for every second and not missing anything and reporting or posting every change they have noticed in this forum. Yes, it's a very helpful topic to be discussed but they should just post it on a specific thread (as mentioned in the above reply) to avoid redundancy.

Another redundant topic is definitely this:

One topic that I've noticed to be also redundant is about who Satoshi is. Every time someone would claim to be or found Satoshi, there's always a new thread about it.

I totally had this in mind! The first thing I thought of when I read the title of this thread is probably referring on topics about who the real Satoshi is. People are not getting tired of talking about this topic. It's as if they keep on posting about this, Satoshi will reveal himself lol! Though we understand because it's really mysterious, it's just so tiring to read about this again and again.

it is not redundant at all. certain market movements that are insignificant are redundant and are not worth starting a whole  discussion about. for example a while back when the price actually dropped was the time to discuss about it but not yesterday when it was just staying where it was considering 1-2% changes are insignificant.

[Jet Cash]

I don't agree, firstly this is a Bitcoin orientated forum. That aside, Bitcoin is one of the new phenomena that are highlighting and revealing a lot of the activities that the bankers and the powerful are using to test and manipulate the future of currency payments. Another bellwether is Brexit, that is forcing the puppet masters that control so many countries to reveal their activities. Vaccination and climate change discussions have become redundant, because very few people seem to look at the funding behind these movements, and their purpose, and it isn't to improve health or the environment.

What do you think is the most interesting thing about bitcoin that attracts normal people? It's the volatility, so it's obvious that most of the people are going to be discussing it.

[AverageGlabella]

You might not think that the current price or future price matters but the thing with the price is that the reason its dropping is usually because of things happening in the world which can lead to some interesting discussion. Currently we have a few countries going through economic crisis and people are thinking that might of caused some of the instability but theres also the Bitcoin halving coming up which always effects the price when it draws near.

The great thing about the price is it brings some interesting discussion but I would agree with the "do you think bitcoin will hit 50k" type posts as those have been posted enough.

I think the same too. I don't want to exaggerate but 'Bitcoin Discussion' board is full of them now. I liked your solution. By doing this, there can be get ahead of message pollution.

Once its price suddenly increases, most of the people will talk about it, they will start to invest without knowing anything about it. Actually we can consider the trend to its sudden inrease in price but once its price will decrease even a little, those new to bitcoin investment will vanished again. They only came to crypto world because they heard its price is high and they might earn a penny just by investing on it.

[bhabygrim]

I know how you feel it is kind of annoying because everytime the price suddenly moves we could see so many new threads regarding about it.
But we should accept it after all we are in a Bitcoin forum so it would always be the center of attention specially for those who are still new.
They would always ask for the reason and explanation about it.
Just think about it you have felt it before too and you also want to know what happen so it is just the same for them .
And if you haven't notice most of the member that always ask it are newbie's and those who always share some information are mostly high rank because they are aware of the situation they want to spread the information to others.

[Astvile]

I think it is normal for people to question why bitcoins price suddenly dropped and pumped. The only wrong thing they are doing is spamming the forum posting the same thread over and over again while there is already a thread posted for that such kind of talk. Some users here are not even reading news about bitcoin they are just going by the flow so some of them are not aware of why bitcoin drops and pump from time to time.

[gentlemand]

My guess is the number of people here 'for the tech' is outnumbered by the people here 'for the dollars' somewhere around the ratio of 100-1. The price movements, namely a truly bonkers future price, is what drew most people and kept them here.

Throw in the amount of knobheads who think leverage is a great idea and the slightest move up or down quickly becomes all consuming for many.

[pixie85]

People need to release frustration and happiness in some way. Forums are popular for this exact reason! When you had enough of watching the price fall you go to the forum and look for other people just like you to feel supported.

Price discussions will never end because it's relaxing and it's killing time. People were doing it 10 years ago when Bitcoin was worth 1 dollar and they will now.

so you want people to post about what?

about code development?

about block size?

about decentralization?

about the miners?

about bitcoin SV vs Bitcoin?

about BCH vs Bitcoin?

Is this the type of post you would like created in this section?

I wonder how long it would take to become the section of unending war

[Upgrade00]

The price of Bitcoin is one of the most important factors of the technology. And it is influenced by so many other factors, so there are various topics of discussions concerning it which can not all be lumped into one thread.

Users need to read more on the details of posting on a particular board. Discussions on price should be on the appropriate section, Bitcoin discussion board covers general topics, but if there is a more specific board it should be used.

Its not redundant at all! At least we must consider those who are just newly acquainted into cryptocurrency (newbies) who are not yet accustomed to crypto volatility. And of course! they will naturally panic especially if they had just invested money into it!

So I think it would be ideal if we should just try to answer all this kinds of inquiries to the best of our knowledge so that maybe we could alleviate their worries and maybe spare them from panic attacks too.
