Topic: Here’s How I Would Bring Down Bitcoin - page 3. (Read 3515 times)
Even if they take down bitcoin, what about the other 1000's of altcoins??? Does these people even have a brain?
I'm pretty sure this is already happening.I have no doubt about that.
Even Andreas Antonopoulos spoke about that at the last DevCore Event.
Divide and conquer!It's always the same dirty game.
So stay calm, be smart and don't fall for these bastards!!
EDIT: this should definitely be a sticky thread

Don't know about the sticky part but what's for sure is that that's a new way to see things.
It would be rather an incredible destabilization campaign! With incredible ressources thrown into the battle.
Very good article this is very new to me,so there are ways to bring down bitcoin and this is a clear methods but have they employ that already or will they employ in the future..But it's great that they are unmasked..
Even better is that this article applies to neither side. Its fluff and nonsense designed to enrage. The article is crap.
It certainly applies, you're being hyperbolic and choosing to ignore the individual methods that are presented. Let's take for example:sock-puppets. Did we not see a huge increase of those advocating for either side (i.e. shilling)? We did. So how does it not apply again? It was not designed to enrage anybody, it was designed for people to realize that is going on and to wake up.What, it's crap because it's description describes your corpulent position?
I didn't see a relevant argument explaining why it's "crap", nor arguments defeating the specifics points, ergo this possibility exists.These are just social engineering strategies that try to influence the price of bitcoin so that they'll get rich.
It is not just about the price.

What does it matter because truely revolutinary tech will break through the mud slinging........ 
Are these not classic CIA/Mi6 covert ops type stratagies anyway?

What are we trying to imply here? That if we keep nodding contentedly, thinking that the description applies
only to the "other crowd", we might benefit re-reading the article and perhaps our own
output. That's what we try to do here.

You people are losing, and it's because you're on the losing side of history. It's over for you and your paymasters.
Take my advice, bail out fast. Bitcoin is still winning. And it will win decidedly.

I agree that the overall scenario described here is sensationalist yarn designed
to feed conspiracy theories, but the attitudes and mud-sling techniques
described there, taken individually, do exist and are being employed by both sides
of the dispute.

So through social engineering, not technical skills. Also - why would you want to do something like this?
Interesting move, you've created an account just to make this post which mentions sock-pupets as an important point.It does sound familiar. 
At least we all have one thing to counter this type of attack, our brains. When I hear someone talking about what he did or what she said instead of the issue I assume this is not about the truth. It is an attempt to persuade me based on my feelings about his/her actions. That does not work on me. I base my financial decisions on mathematics rather than emotion. I kinda think this is true of all serious people and that FUD only works on the weak and fearful.

Divide et impera, indeed. This is definitely an article that should be read by everyone in the ecosystem.EDIT: this should definitely be a sticky thread
Anyone who has participated in such campaigns or has educated themselves
in the history and cases of PSYOps and BlackOps knows this is very likely.
I'm looking into spreading my knowledge in these areas (especially concerning open source projects). However, I've recognized behavioral patterns and changes of such in certain members, ergo realizing the campaign in progress a few months ago. Here's a good video: How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People. in the history and cases of PSYOps and BlackOps knows this is very likely.
There was no "divide" until the previously uncontroversial blocksize increase was yoinked in place of something else. All the drama since then is the stuff that is described in your linked article (on both sides) is what created a divide. The entire article is a cheap parody of the "CIA Handbook" in its various incarnations. It reads very naively to me "I'm a green beret.. I'd make sock puppets on reddit".
This article seems intent on furthering the idea of a division.
The article describes controlling everything on the ground. There is inference of some kind of central command, but then nothing describing how that central command would operate. A police force is only as strong a the government that leads it. Controlling the map is done by controlling the generals not the troops. Very little is said about central command.
The article is written assuming that authority is the correct model. It characterises attacks on authority as attacks on bitcoin.
Bitcoin *shouldn't* be controlled by anyone. Any attempt to create an authority structure around bitcoin is in fact an attack on bitcoin.

Some of us already have experience, especially if you are coming from country where mass hypnotic spin (From mass media's) was part of our daily life. I know how this can mess up many weak heads.
Sorry for swearing.
Turn off the tv and the pesky shit radio and talk to people on forums...
It's crazy people still actually watch the news it'sfucking positively crazy.
Complete lies and rubbish. They sit there watching let others control their opinions and are so arrogant to believe they are in control and have the power to make their own judgments.
Totally makes me insane that 99% of this plant are zombified anal sphyncterarse holes that makes them very dangerous.

Hahaha, Lauda yes it sounds familiar but all of those things happen in a typical day at work for me and on this forum and wherever women gather.
You're blaming women? This is like your horoscope where it's a bunch of generalizations that are just so typical that it's not much of a prediction at all. The predictions are usually correct.
This wasn't the case here 2-3 years back (at least not this intensively), so I don't think it a generalization.If not: take a look at the mirror...

I have been recognizing this trend for a while now, and it gets worse with every price spike. They always have some strategy available to dump bad news, when there is a price surge. I think they are stalling for time, to engineer their own technology to replace Bitcoin, and do not want Bitcoin to be successful before they launch their replacement.
The shills and trolls crawl out of hiding, on the upward and downward spiral of the price.

Well as long as we can keep Bitcoin on track, it represents a good buying opportunity for newbies like me.
Now what have I done with those old socks?
