Topic: Do people suffer from amnesia here? - page 2. (Read 1587 times)

They (nearly all the alts) are garbage. I'm not sure that makes us trolls. You can look at coinmarketcap and see the ongoing trend slight interest followed by huge dumping of basically everything. I own only Bitcoin right now but there a few alts with a chance, primarily just  the ones that are actually 'new' in that they were created from scratch and not copies of Bitcoin.

Agree.

Darkcoin will probably be in percentage and marketcap terms the biggest dump in Crypto history so far.

I'm not sure if reading comprehension difficulties should be added to amnesia. Again, I wasn't referring to specifically darkcoin or any coin. And I did say junk coins that pump, and go back down, should be expected... I used taxi coin as a reference, but almost all nation coins apply, as well. The airdrop concept has some serious flaws.

Again, I was wondering why repeating patterns seem to work as well as they do. And why does anyone believe trolls in the first place.

Instead, it appears people are using this thread to.... well, do what they usually do here.

Yup...and also there's 1.5-2 millions DRK instamined,so dump was expected sooner or later. Party is over, only ones who are not greedy will take a profit.

Agreed, I've been waiting and watching that to happen for a while. Amnesia?, do you remember Aurora coin. Nearly all of the alts get artificially pumped to some degree before dissapearing into the night because they were crap to begin with.  

Something with the name 'Darkcoin' will never have mainstream adoption. One of Bitcoins biggest flaws is that folks associate it with criminal behavior or worse. 'Darkcoin' has created an even worse connotation for itself with its name.

'It's different this time'. 'New paradigm'.

It will ever be thus when you're in the middle of it hoping hard.

I should have prefaced this by saying I am referring to all coins, no coin in particular. It was more brought on by simply watching the polo trollbox for a week, rather than anything happening to Drk. Although many of the Drk comments people have been spreading do apply. I got my reasonable amount of Drk when it was 10x cheaper than it is now, so no, not angry about anything. If anything, I've wanted it to go cheaper, as I never got as many coins as I originally hoped for. Price corrections should be expected for all coins.

Again, I was mostly just curious about the repeating patterns. No specific coin.

only the dark descent

DRK will dump so hard that many here will remain bagholders forever. Just saying.

1. People are greedy
2. You can't fix stupid

There is something I've wondered about.

No coin ever goes in a straight line up, forever. BTC didn't do it. Stocks don't do it. No investment does. Yet when a coin gets pumped, hits its apex, then tumbles down to a new floor, people go all into panic mode. The sky is falling, get out now, etc.

What I wonder about is, why do people repeatedly seem to behave in the same way? Sure, on a pure pump and dump junkcoin, it may tumble to nothing again, but people should have realized that would occur way before the pump. If, let's say Taxicoin, all of a sudden zoomed up to .01 for no good reason, no sane person would think it would remain there forever. I simply don't get why people go into panic mode on coins they previously believed to have good fundamentals, when it just moves down to its new floor? Human nature, I guess? Or selective amnesia?

Then there are troll types, who seem to behave in mostly the same pattern. There are always regular trolls who simply take joy from being jerks. And those who sold off, and don't want to see the coin zoom up while they are on the sidelines. But typically it looks like a pattern where trolls come out after a pump, spread fud, watch coin go down... then logically they'd scoop up the cheap coins at around half of what the pump level was... meaning 2x the coins, or profit + same coins they started with. We also have trolls/fud spreaders whose basic purpose seems to be to try to get people to invest in by spreading fud against coins they deem a competitor.

What I don't quite understand in regard to this is just why does anyone believe trolls/fud spreaders? I mean, nobody should assume anyone saying anything, fud or hype, is doing so for altruistic reasons. If someone says, 'Get out of now, buy instead!' they must realize they have an ulterior motive for doing so.

I guess I am just confused by the repeating patterns and why they still work. Or maybe I have been watching the polo trollbox too much. I sometimes think they should put a little Pinocchio image next to the box, to better illustrate how valuable the info provided there is.
