Not really a victim and certainly not a fool. When people try to borrow money to dump a coin to obvilion amongst a straight up smear propaganda campaign because they cannot roll back the clock, tech and innovation still can't be beat.
You realize people have borrowed XMR for shorting too right? Three guesses who they borrowed from (not recently and now repaid).
It is not apples to apples. When BBR was being shorted, it had no support due to FUD spread by a certain camp in order to consolidate newbies into the coin that got launched earlier, in hopes that it wouldn't recover from there. XMR shorting was profitable due to a larger community, a much much higher valuation and support from lying scumbag bald BTC whales. It was for profit.
BBR shorting was at a loss or at the very least not-for-profit. Either way it had no where near the yields. But you knew this or should know this. Do you just have way too much time on your hands?
And for that matter, XMR has also been subjected to of a lot of FUD and trolling (and as I said shorting and dumping). Perhaps it would be a lot higher were it not for that! It is certainly possible, yet I don't run around saying "XMR is only #13 due to FUD!" Otherwise it would be higher than DRK!
You retards were asking for it. A lot of us kept saying don''t troll on other threads or forums or what not unless someone is spreading false information, and people would come on their own to XMR after discovering CN. But some retarded members thought it was their birth right to troll other threads now that whitepaper has been vetted, open tens of threads, spread FUD about other coins and a bunch of other shit. You don't go to the neighbor's house and call their house ugly (even if it is), you don't spam incessantly about your house even if it is the prettiest in the hood. It is just bad marketing. But then you retards never listened to those of us who said it. It took fake shills like MoneroMan88 to wake you guys up and stop the spam fest.
Claiming with high confidence that everything that happens is due to some hostile and deliberate scheme without being able to prove that degree of causality (and you can't because no one can prove the reasons for what happens in these markets) denotes a degree of paranoia, delusion, victimization complex, or something along those lines. It can't be entirely rational for the reason I stated.
This is not a court or a scientific experiment to prove schemes. There is more than enough instances of participation that can be deduced from post history of individuals. Don't blame me for your ineptitude. I am the least of your problems.
