As Per examples in your last post alone:--> Defensive comments
--> Insulting comments
--> Reverse Psychology
--> Attempt to make those not interested feel like idiots
ie. Attacking advertising intended to pressure people often used by scammers.
In summary, if you don't think like me, you are an idiot. Fuck everyone who doesn't agree with me. If you don't buy into bitbillions, you will be sorry. None of you are entitled to your opinions and all of you should agree with me because I say so.
These kind of statement make you
look like a scammer doing anything possible to get people to sign up for bitbillions. My instinct is to stay away.
I am well respected
Then you must not talk like you do here, in real life. Maybe if you respected others here, you would get respect back. Those that troll, should be ignored because trolling back will just reduce respect for you. Some people who have seen Josh's (from BFL) more insulting comments, even through they may actually have been called for, have lost respect for him. I have lost respect for you because I see the way you talk to people here.
Maybe you are right about the trolling however it seemed to be way beyond trolling. When there is one or two people that put out a comment that does it it can be picked as trolling (as I did earlier in the conversation. But when yu are being attacked on all sides then it is more than trolling it is a community attitude. I disagree with some points here though. I do not think people are idiots if they don't join if you read the comment it was the thoughts of some friends that have mentioned seeing this thread to me. But yes I don't mince words either, I said that from the very start. it is usually the opposite way around though when I am calling another program a ponzi and they are blind to the fact and don't like me saying that . This time I am saying it isnt and you guys are all against me.
Respect is earned, you are right. How do you earn respect when from the very first post showing this business, I have had people here labelling me a scammer. All I did was post the details I had from the site. I have answered why I believe it is not a scam and I have had people dismiss it all as 'that's what a scammer would say'. Well that's also what a legitimate person would say as well.
I don't think there was any 'attacking advertising'.
In summary, if you don't think like me, you are an idiot. Fuck everyone who doesn't agree with me. If you don't buy into bitbillions, you will be sorry. None of you are entitled to your opinions and all of you should agree with me because I say so.
No that is incorrect. I don't mind if people don't want to join, that is their decision. But I would like a bit of thought made about it. Instead of labeling it and labeling me, having a more open mind and giving it a chance to prove itself. That doesn't mean you have to join, but as I have said, keep an eye on what it is doing, watch it's progress, see how it develops. If you guys are right it simply wouldn't develop at all. But you can't say it hasn't when it is still within a prelaunch, give it a chance.
I would prefer some conversation on what they could be doing, what they might develop, what would be good, what wouldn't. For example, they announced they are going to have a bitcoin fund and although it says what they plan to do there could be discussion on what and where they might/should/should not invest in
The fund managers will make every reasonable attempt to place bitcoins into solid, dependable opportunities that have been thoroughly investigated, vetted, and assessed. The primary philosophy will center around arbitrage and revenue share potentials and risk analysis.
By the way it seems in here, they might not have any 'dependable opportunities' to invest in from within the bitcoin community. According to you guys there is only scams which never pay. Am I wrong? I know there are legitimate businesses that accept bitcoins but you aren't going to invest in the brick and mortar companies, I don't think the sharemarket accepts bitcoins. So personally I do not know where they might invest. That is something that could be discussed.
If anyone wants to talk to me outside this forum I'm happy to do so, whatever way you feel about it. I'm not going to change the way I feel about it, unless they so something that causes me to. Right now it's just getting better and despite tying the donation price to bitcoin value, the people joining have not slowed down even though the value has doubled since this started.
So in summary as you put before. Everyone has a choice that is theirs to make. Nobody should make them feel bad about that choice. People can advise that they think there are factors that should be considered but ultimately it is their choice.
Let's try to move the discussion into a discussion instead of seeing who can attack it the most.
What if this is for real...what do you think they will develop. Considering they are focused on just doing things that involve bitcoins I suppose it is more limited, or is it? Maybe bitcoins are becoming known enough that there will be a lot more companies opening up to them now. Or are bitcoins still considered a fad?
