ok cool, that's what I thought too. I agree that people tend to be biased by what ever they are holding in their wallets, but I hear people say stuff like this on nearly a daily basis:

why the fook do you bother posting on this site i just dont get it Huh

you are a complete troll like seriously wise up wasting your time hahahaha

The answer is easy, he is a paid shill... his only goal here is to spread misinformation and to bad mouth Bitcoin. Just have a look at the post history and the whole objective of his presence here is laid

They always say "PAID shill" which gives the impression that someone is actually paying for this service. lol. It cracks me up because its about as conspiracy theory as it gets. I've seen many people use this term, typically the same three dudes always fighting in the altcoin dicussions. Spoetnik, Minecache, and that other dude lol.

So now I am curious, I want to see an instance of actual paid shills. I'm sure if people are getting paid there will be at least one instance of it on the internet somewhere, possibly a disgruntled ex-shillployee?

and to the three dudes I mentioned, please don't take this as a personal attack (even though undoubtedly you will), I am merely curious.

I have seen similar accusations bandied about on 9/11 conspiracy sites. All the time. It's the most convenient way for a paranoid person to explain why someone doesn't agree with him.

However, on this forum in particular there may very well be shills for altcoins. I don't think people are actually paid to do it, but I think developers may use alts to pump their own coins. Or bash others. But mostly people are just passionate about one coin or another, or one conspiracy or another, and just post because of that passion.

This should either be in Meta or off topic, I can't really decide.

Paid shill, shill, they're all the same. They have an agenda to take down a certain company/cryptocurrency and it's always obvious (because shills aren't the brightest/subtlest).

I've yet to see anyone offer mass amounts of people the opportunity to do paid shilling for them. I'd imagine even if it was done in the privacy of private messaging or some other forum unknown to us, some where there has to be proof. You guys are good at digging, I'd imagine someone has something eh?

Im being completely honest and serious here. I'd love to see proof of this happening. Can anyone supply it?

Thanks!
