Don't you think some people in the forum are giving too much importance to Elon?

The amazing part of this is how it wasn't a problem at all when Saint Elon was being praised just a few weeks ago.

Posts mentioning "elon" or "musk" by month:

Code:
January    996
February  4052
March     1715
April     2151
May       3781

Ok, there is a bit of an increase and the month is not over yet but it's not a huge change in giving him importance, just that it turned negative recently.

The guy is a fucking clown. He's getting away with all sorts of shit just because he's a Wall Street darling. Exactly the type of person bitcoiners should stay away from but somehow we thought he's gonna be good for Bitcoin. Just like those kids on Reddit thinking that by giving Wall Street their money (buying GME stock or some shit like that) they're rebelling against the system. SMH.

Edit: adjusted numbers to account for some duplicates and words like "felon" (LOL).

He pumps prises, then dumps. He manages prices the way he wants. It means that Elon has a huge influence on people and they blindly follow the Elon Scam.
This sounds like work for the SEC, but they're usually quite slow. So if anything's going to happen, it'll be months from now.

It's really a shame for the crypto community. It's really funny how this man "uses" the highest part of the community the way he wishes. He pumps prises, then dumps. He manages prices the way he wants. It means that Elon has a huge influence on people and they blindly follow the Elon Scam.

Oh, I loved the way cryptocurrencies were rising in 2017, there was no Elon, only healthy and meaningful rise but now? I don't want to trade in such crypto market. Who could imagine that Doge would rise so significantly, who? I believe this man can make stone valuable if he wants, it's just a psychological factor.

Billionaire making billions on dumbs and people still get wet on him, hahaha...

Crypto community in general is paying too much attention to Elon and his shenanigans so I am not surprised to see it here too, but I think that's the usual case on Bitcoin Discussion board, to talk about whatever is the hottest subject at the moment. So one day is Elon, another day is something else etc so business as usual I would say.


One option is to ignore creators of this topics or maybe report some of them for duplicate topics and wait for moderators reaction.
Bolded part should be done more often. If more people report duplicate topics, I am sure that mods will react and do something about it.

You can't really prevent creation of gazillion Elon Musk topics but this is destroying any real conversation and it's turning this forum into circus show.

I'd love to have a -Elon -Musk -Tesla filter on Bitcointalk, so I wouldn't even see this topic and wouldn't have posted here.
I wonder if suchmoon can add this optional feature to BPIP extension, this would be brilliant and I would use it not onlyfor Elon Musk but for other words and phrases.
He can than rename this extension to something better like BPIP Swiss knife Smiley

Is it good to lock your topic?  Smiley

I usually lock my topics, when I see there is no much to be added. I'm not going to do it yet but you can report it and let the moderators decide. Apart from that, the thread might die by itself (by nobody else replying).

Farewell o_e_l_e_o
People on the forum have different main interests at different times. There are times the forum was flooded with topics about following aspects: merit-related, trust-related, Covid-19 and pandemic, US President election, China bans on crypto, etc.

Elon, Tesla topics will be tailed off soon because the crypto market will have other hotter topics.

As I wrote 3 days ago:
If you guys want to ignore the troll from that small battery car maker: why is he mentioned in all of the posts on this page?
Don't feed the troll!
Too many people care for the BS this billionaire troll posts on an unimportant website. And because so many people seem to care for no reason at all, all his BS turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Or as I also wrote:
Bitcoin doesn't care about that small car manufacturer.
I've seen FUD from so many different directions (China, bankers, governments, trolls), and every time people start dumping their Bitcoin. At the same time, other people buy their coins at a discount. FUD is meant to trigger stop losses and make people sell their coins.

I'd love to have a -Elon -Musk -Tesla filter on Bitcointalk, so I wouldn't even see this topic and wouldn't have posted here.



As for the topic title: Clearly Cheesy
People shouldn't believe a multi-billionaire shares their interests.

... considering that the recent dip can be attributed at least in part to Elon.

I think you pretty much answered that yourself  Cheesy

I could have red-flagged a couple more, considering that the recent dip can be attributed at least in part to Elon.
