In all the years nothing has changed it seems, but it might be just me, but the people finding their way to this market in recent times are the worst of the worst in terms of being a contributing factor. It's mind boggling how stupid people are.
It's not just you, it's the reality that most of the longer term members here have noticed. These people are literally a plague by how they act, talk and totally degrade any form of discussion to the absolute bottom; empty headed baboons they are. The forum is the perfect example of what the average crypto community member/participant looks like.
I wondered for a while why the 2011/2012 members here kept complaining about how much this forum has been degraded by gibberish and paid incentives, but after browsing through the discussions dating back to everything below 2013, I can only agree with them that this forum has turned into one massive pile of rubbish. Where paid incentive drives most people to post today, people back in the days were incentivized by sharing thought and knowledge.
It's even around me where I notice how stupid the average person is. If you try to explain someone that Ripple for obvious reasons can't become worth what Bitcoin is worth today in terms of unit price, then you know that it's pointless to even continue talking to that person. Talking to a wall basically yields the same result;
nothing.
