No protections, irreversible transactions, gigantic sucker pool...what's not to love if you're a knave? I try to think the bitcoin user base is more than what's on this forum, but that may be wishful thinking on my part.

Bitcoin enviroment is very specifical. Many people made quite alot money on it. Like with every succesful enterprise there are many vultures that want to pray on the fame of "easy money" or get rich quick scheme.
Bitcoin just fall victim of its success in that regards.
Greed for a lack of a better word is..... bad :p. To paraphrase a classic.

To buttress, This is expected in such a global community, human are diverse so also their characters. There good ones too. This forum had provided check by introducing negative tag on people who are capable of doing such,to protect people from them
False. Scammers are pretty much free roaming on this forum, by using throwaway accounts or until someone finds a connection to their original account with which they've scammed with.You might think twice if you knew the victim was a unemployed divorced mother with three young children, but some of these people are cold-blooded narcissists, so they feel nothing for other people.
IMO true criminals, i.e. those with a very strong criminal intent do not care at all about the victims background.This are happening in blockchain technology its becasue of the anonymous transactions that is going on in blockchain.
False. Bitcoin is not anonymous. Bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous at best and has a limited anonymity pool per day.

This are happening in blockchain technology its becasue of the anonymous transactions that is going on in blockchain. This scammer, cheats, hackers, thieves are everywhere because they are not afraid of being caught since they can hide their identity. This is one of the reason why decentralized transactions is not 100% positive since it becomes the shelter of illicit activities.

Why is it that the Bitcoin community is full of these people? Every imaginable way of stealing, cheating and scamming is done on the blockchain. Every imaginable scam is being deployed in conjunction with Bitcoin. People going to jail left and right. How did it come to be that Bitcoin people are so damn dishonorable? Will that ever change?

Hahaha so you are saying that such people exist only in the Bitcoin community, these people were and always will be there with or without Bitcoin. This people just want to make quick money and will go any length to achieve it. And before you blame them, point a finger at yourself what made you fall for this scams, it's greed. We humans are wired to go for a quick profit. No I beg to differ the community is not at all posined, look around every one tries his best to help avoid people from falling for scams, so much information is given, but there no mechanism op and how can even one create such one. Look at hacking can it be stopped no right, I would say just don't loose faith yet.

Bitcoin just make it easier for people to scam people globally. Most of these scams are also "faceless" because the victim is unknown to the person doing the crime. < This makes it easier > You might think twice if you knew the victim was a unemployed divorced mother with three young children, but some of these people are cold-blooded narcissists, so they feel nothing for other people.
The world is full of these people, and Bitcoin is one of the tools that are being used for these sadistic crimes. Bitcoin is also not the only tool, so let's not over exaggerate it's role in this.

fiat is no better
bank thefts
blackmails
murders for hire
pickpockets
card cloners
nigerian price phone scams
phishing for love 'my love i need hospital bill paid or i die next week
sugar daddies, girls marrying old guys just to get name on a will
corporate money laundering
the list goes on
the only difference between fiat and bitcoin is there is less (never zero, but less) chance of knowing who the other party is to slap them with a wet fish/court order.
so never trade with anyone you dont know anything about. unless you can slap them with a wetfish/court order should they do you wrong, dont trade.
AKA.. rule 1: stranger danger

Exactly this. This community isn't poisoned or worse than any other community... The world is poisoned. People are like this, not Bitcoin. People scamming with fiat always existed, always went to jail left and right, always were dishonorable. That won't change anytime soon, if at all, unfortunately.
These are the kinds of threads that give mainstream media something to jump on regarding saying crap about Bitcoin

Even the real world is full of thieves and cheaters hence the online market is also just a replication of the real world. Nothing less. However, you may feel that the numbers are higher because the community is not that big. So the concentration of these cheaters seems to be higher.
However, if you know the online world, then you might also know how to avoid them. I have been earning online since 2009, and by God's grace I have not faced these scammers that much because I know how to avoid them.

At least now it's more fair than before bitcoin, why them all get to scam, steal, hack and bitch around? look at you all free to express yourselves with no fear of stick or maybe you preferred stand in a corner and stare like a goat, simply a bystander one? when you decentralize herds of sheep you'll end up getting what you deserve.
Question is, what are you going to do about it? have you ever see a person scamming people and let it slide by not tagging their trust just because you weren't involved? very convenience way to put your head under the sands not knowing you are getting abused from behind when you see a bully, scammer, thief, abuser and say nothing to protect their victims?
In this community individuals should be responsible and concise, when you have the power to make changes for the good you need to stop thinking about doing good and start acting.

Bitcoin is start from darknet. And darknet is nest of these people. The criminal and corrupt being one. They love this technology to hide and keep they money clean. During its development, more peoples got interested by blockchain technology and bitcoin as an instant and anonymous payment. And you know, when many peoples surf for it, google finally indexed it. And boom, it's going to "legal" article to read. And 15 years old student can earn this internet money easily.
The peoples that you said is still here, but more "normal" peoples is getting more.

that is right. in order to get money inclufing bitcoin, a few people take bad ways. it exists in all currency, not in bitcoin only.
so I think, why this happens is because the users theirselves. however here in my country, I do not find that high amount of criminals of bitcoin even fiat.

you are either a big troll or it is your first day on the internet, and i say it is the first one.
ever since internet became a thing and people sat behind their computers and started looking at monitor instead of the other person in the eye, everyone "felt" anonymous and started lying. some lied small and some took it further to scamming.
and this has been going on for more than 8 years (age of bitcoin).
January 26, 2017, 12:16:07 AM
anonymous irreversible money that lives on the internet.
i'm seriously impressed this place isn't more of an absolute shit hole because that's the perfect recipe for attracting scum.

That was a thoughtful remark. Yeah, with so much (relatively) anonymous money sloshing around in the Bitcoin Ecosystem (and various players here too at bitcointalk), I understand your point.
Many times I come here I see various small kind acts done by other members (advice and accelerating small trx are just today, that I saw just this evening) on behalf of others, and not just newbies.

Are you specifically talking about Bitcointalk as a community, or the general Bitcoin community? Nice catch! Good question! Such wow! Personally, I assumed it was the former. RawDog, what say you?
When referring to me, it's Mr. Asshole to you.
I'll pretend I didn't see Ross' name on your short list, by I do have issues with Charlie's name being mention, with due respect toward your sentiment. Oh, and I guess I assumed incorrectly, my second mistake for 2017. Carry on!

Bitcoin is simply another tool that some people are taking advantage of. Every currency that we use and know of is neutral in the sense that it is something that can be used for both good and bad. The greed for money and other material things can really blind someone and make them want more and more. Half of the news we see, read, hear consist of these awful human activities.

This didn't just start because of Bitcoin. It has been going for years and years with fiat. Now that Bitcoin is out, people started to do illegal activities with Bitcoin because it is completely anonymous. They can't get traced easily so they is a lot less risk when compared to fiat. There are always going to be these kinds of problems with any kind of currency. There is no way to avoid them so we just have to deal with it. This community is poisoned.
