Topic: Find out why sub reddit /r/btc full of bitcoin haters (Read 1384 times)

I'm tired of reddit posts as all spew hate on bitcoins and advise others to stay away from bitcoins.

The comments this thread has received are full of hyprocrisy
https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/4oimas/the_double_standard_at_rbitcoin_on_full_display/ It's as if the bitcoin section is to just promote ETH and not bitcoins. What's the point they want to prove?

I own both bitcoin and Ethereum with the value ratio 100:1 in favour of bitcoin. But I want the block size to be increased soon to accommodate more transactions.

Most of the reddit users here in this sub /r/btc are frustrated. They like atheist in bitcoin. I just visit there for got news and information I never post there. I really enjoy their post and replay. Sometimes negative comments helps you how to be to positive.

lol I'm just reading up there and just watching the flame and salt war.

Reddit is a place where people advertise, talk shit and don't really understand that anything SC can do, multisig can.

didn't even know there was an /r/btc ive only been reading /r/bitcoin, whats the point of two if not for an agenda to divide the communities?

So far I have not gone to deep into ETH, mainly because of the previous scams/phishing pm in various forums... I believe it is a good idea but I think bitcoin has everything I need. In addition, I feel like it was started as a project to make the founders very rich...

The irrational people are always at the wrong sides of those. Similarly they are at the wrong side of this "debate".

Wrong. Stop posting about things that you do not understand. Bitcoin had a problem at the protocol level, which broke the initial consensus rules (specifications) and raised the supply artificially. What happened to ETH is not comparable to that. ETH has not been broken at the protocol level in such a way that someone could artificially increase the supply. Do not justify an ETH bailout with Bitcoin's past. As soon as one does this ('forks' to "reclaim" coins), they aren't any better than the Fed.

Bitcoin did have a fault back in 2010 but it was rectified quickly and also the market cap was nowhere near what ethereums and the dao is. If this flaw had been only found recently in bitcoin history then it would be completely different. I also heard that the eth/dao developers were aware of this flaw yet it was never rectified, in fact it was spoken about just days before and they said they had fixed it. this makes the whole situation worse as well.

Hey, this whole little split in the community is just a natural thing happening with every technology out there... We have seen this with the OS wars {Linux / MS / Unix / Mac.. } and also the Browser

wars back in the days.. { Netscape / IE / Firefox etc... } ... It's just something we do. We all fall under the same category, namely : Crypto Currencies.. but we at each others throats all day. If ETH or

any other Alt fails miserably, it reflects badly on everyone involved in Crypto Currencies. So we should just think of that ... And remember, Bitcoin had a huge flaw like this in the beginning to, but it was

closed very quickly. 

I haven't seen any positivity on reddit as I can see here on this forum. I was a part of other bitcoin forums too which soon became inactive and mainly reddit users are altcoin lovers. They are lovers of ETH and earlier they loves Doge and bashed bitcoins and the users. The hate there is too disturbing.

This doesn't even surprise me, /r/bitcoin stops the divisive discussion of core v. classic, classic goes no-where anyways, all the mad kids go to /r/btc, once they don't get their way and everyone kind of forgets about classic they switch to Ethereum because Bitcoin MUST be a failed currency because Mike Hearn said so.

They declare ETH as the next great thing, and they all speak out against Bitcoin. ETH does relatively well.

ETH is a shitty crypto and can't be fucking coded properly, so the network gets hacked and everyone dumps their Ethereum because it is sompletely unsafe and not worth holding onto. The value of ETH has declined over 38% since the hack and is moving down still.

/r/btc gets mad and tries to prop up ETH, but fail to realize that faith from investors in Ethereum has been destroyed, and it is over.

/r/btc dies eventually or changes to another crypto.

Repeat

Well, I think anything big that happens to eth does have some bearing on its big daddy in terms of how the whole crypto thing is perceived so the major news is relevant in a way, but not the small stuff.

Either way r/btc is filled with hysterical assholes who need new hobbies.

If only your account didn't look like a non-participating ghost troll account, that would be believable. But you don't participate in the real Bitcoin community, because you're not representing yourself, you're representing your boss





And you're literally complaining all day every day about how unhappy you are with Bitcoin's design, so I don't know who you think you're fooling with your claims to be happy

funny part is i am actually happy with my bitcoin hoards.
but i wish you well with your altcoins

there there franky, crying isn't going to solve anything. You'll be alright.

I dont have any proven evidence with censorship at r/btc. But this reddit section is indeed overrun with eth supporters who upvote certain topics to top and and similarly downvote any blockstream-pro posts. The eth supporters just exploit the rules as no eth based topic is moderated (removed by mods) there. But similarly, if you make  blockstream-pro topic, it wont get moderated (removed by mods) there, you just get downvoted there. But your free to exploit the rules there as well, but I understand eth supporters probably have much higher financial incentive (thus put more resources) to keep things as they are now at r/btc.

I disagree. If you wanted to get information about altcoins, all you had to do is to go into the Altcoin section (specifically: Altcoin Discussion). All the relevant posts were moved there. Bitcointalk does not endorse censorship, it has moderation. There is a difference between those two even though a fair amount of people do not recognize it. I can't say much about r/bitcoin as I'm not involved with it.

I agree that we shouldnt discuss altcoins unless necessary but the community has been debating for a while now about forking to another bitcoin (altcoin). Some of us would never even be aware of this if it wasnt for other source of reading. If the only place i visited was bitcointalk and /bitcoin then i would not even be aware of other options to overcome current problems. That's the problem i see.

As soon as someone resorts to ad hominem, their credibility and argument goes pretty much down the drain.

I sometimes check both subreddits out to analyze the situation over there. Anything that I read, I usually take with a big grain of salt. I would never participate in such 'communities' though.

Altcoins should not be discussed in Bitcoin subreddits unless necessary.

If you think that most of the people involved in Bitcoin are "logical" or rational, you're in for a big surprise.

here we go again the blockstream cult trying to deflect their own love for altcoins by distracting people with ethereum drama to pretend that if you dont love blockstream you must love alts..

truth is actually the opposite.

all i ever see from these blockstream cult members is their jealousy, that bitcoin has infrastructure.. they want to demolish bitcoin in favour of their alts.
they insult businesses such as bitpay because their monero doesnt have the same retailer listings. they insult mining pools they insult anyone investing highly into bitcoin.

in my eyes anyone who loves altcoins so much, obviously doesnt have anything above 10btc to their name but wants to strike it rich on the crapcoin ecosystem

i personally dont touch altcoins because i know they wont survive without infrastructure. but i will say this
may these events of ether dying cause the blockstream cult investors to see their other crapcoin Monero rise. so they can go play with their altcoins. and be finally rich and happy with their lives, instead of trying to force fee wars, delay logical code, to enforce a totally different direction while blackmailing pools, etc.

then we can concentrate on bitcoin properly while they play with each other in their little couldron of altcoins boiling themselves to death in their own little unicorn ecosystem called Monero

or... here is the kicker
they realise altcoins are crap coins. stop devoting their lives to striking it rich with monero or side chains and start actually supporting bitcoin. rather than blockstream
