It's currency speculation, it happens every day all over the world. Bitcoin is no different.

If each troll in this forum shakes the entire economy then it's hanging on a thread (literally).

I don't think that a few trolls could have shaken the Dollar if they wrote that they didn't believe in it in some forum.

I'm not trying to ruffle anyones feathers here, but theres other places that talk about bitcoin other than bitcoin.org. I think it's disingenuous to say rumors, bullshit and trickery don't play a roll in a free market.

Are you kidding me? There was a massive panic less than 24 hours ago. I'm not blaming the trolls fully, but they no way helped matters. You guys even choked this forum's supply of fresh blood by introducing the noob forum. Curiously enough right when confidence was at an all time low. And you're going to tell me they have no impact?

This might shock you, but the majority of bitcoin traders don't even come to these forums.

Coincidence isn't causality.

I farted when the market went down, should I cut back on the bean burritos?

It happened at the SAME TIME, OMG.

Guys, we have a volatile market that is deepening in volume day by day. Multi-dollar moves are common. Don't lose your heads.

They really don't want the price to fall below $10, so they're buying more now... what a mistake...

This forum doesn't let newbies to post anymore as they shake the currency. It has the interest that "professionals" will keep on giving the "buy" advices while preventing the rest from giving the "sell" advices.

What makes you think BTC is a solid currency? Solid how?

I never said it was.

Remember that time in Boston when a bunch of trolls threw tea into the Harbor? They sure had an effect.

Remeber that time I burnt a 100 dollar note? yeah, thats right, you don't, because it didn't send the value of the dollar crashing nosefirst into the ground and causing thousands of people to lose their life savings.

Guys, now that we've got you all in one thread, can you explain what the appeal is in being a troll?

There are bearish trolls and bullish trolls. When you're trying to manipulate the price to go up you're being a bullish troll. That's not any better than being a bearish troll that is trying to move the price down.

Honestly, I believe that bearish trolls are not going to buy anymore bitcoins, even when their price is close to $0. They're just angry at the bullish trolls that followed the Greater Fool theory and abused them.
