I'm not even using this term figuratively. Most people here seem to be literal idiots. Not only do they type like idiots, but they also make claims without basis.

"It will fall now, sell now"
"It will go to moon, weak hands"
"Bitcoin is kill Sad

"

^^^
WTF seriously?

Everytime you make any claim about price. Not "I think", but "It WILL" you HAVE to provide arguments WHY.

Provide exact calculation by which the Bitcoin should go to 100, 300, 1000, 10000.

If you don't do this you are a very stupid human being and should kill yourself.

Also, if you cannot sleep over the price changes and need to check daily, then it means you are so stupid you risked a big proportion of your income on a speculative asset. In which case I think you should kill yourself.

Someone had to say this.

This is nothing if you compare it with btc-e troll box

And btc-e troll box is nothing when comparing to Poloniex troll box.

Both of these troll boxes are designed to be able to catch actual vulnerabilities to their sites. There is often some level of truth when trolls make crazy accusations, even though trolls almost never want to prove what they claim.

I feel the same way. From what I have heard, this forum wasn't always like this. I heard it started to go downhill after the boom in late 2013 and especially after the introduction of Dogecoin with all that broken english crap.

Do you think the reason Satoshi stopped posting here is that it all started to go downhill? Maybe he thoght there are too many literal idiots on Bitcointalk.

The reason Satoshi stopped posting was because it wanted bitcoin to be able to grow and evolve on it's own. If he stayed here then he would likely have too much influence over bitcoin, essentially making BTC be backed by him.

Time is on our side, yes it is!

Yeah I tend to agree with many of the points that you made but not so much the killing yourselves part. I think a clever meme or a popular term like "check yourself before you wreck yourself", would have been more appropriate. It doesn't help get your point accross any better and makes you seem irrational, I do understand your frustration though.

This is how people try and manipulate the market in my opinion. The fact that they don't give any real reasons or evidence for the outlandish statements should show their not credible or qualified to be giving advice in my opinion

You sound like a very hateful person, with the kill yourself talk, but you do make a valid point:

I'm pretty sure a lot of people, especially in the speculation category are just kids, they do not have a clue if it "Will up or Will down" and the lack of proper spelling and grammer really gets to me...

But hey, if you can't fight them...

Such momentum rising star dojo reversal! Will down for sure now!11!1 Sell before bitcoin go 0, stupid HODLers!

I agree. I think that the masses tend to "promote" that the price of bitcoin will continue to go in the direction that it has gone in the previous short to medium term. You really do not even need to look at any charts or the price of bitcoin to know which direction the price is going, all you need to do is measure sentiment on the speculation subforum.

Bears and bulls alike easily have their arguments shut down when the price has been climbing or falling. There is not much you can say about the direction when every response is "do you see which way the price has been going the past few days/weeks?!?!".

Actually I don't think it has really changed much. People were a lot more optimistic before with no way to make money from the price going down.

So almost every thread was about "TO THE MOON!".

Of course the price was way more volatile then too...it jumped from $2 to $32 based on pure speculation.

Now you can make just as much money from the price dropping so you have both types of idiots.

I think you can lighten up on the kill yourself talk. Makes you sound like a high school jock picking on people. You literally sound like the idiots you're complaining about, or a callus asshole at the least.

I don't care if I'm an idiot. I never said I wasn't. I never said I know shit. I don't. But that's why admit it. I speculate and gamble and accept the reality that this market is pretty much random and unpredictable for us. So I hate people who claim they know shit without giving any logical input whatsoever.

Idiots need to voice their limited opinions because they have so few and feel strongly attached to them due to their scarcity. Without inner satisfaction and peace that can be obtained through intellect and culture, they need to gain your attention by using advanced communication and collaboration tools. They believe they are being super insightful and they are conveying very important information, as they lack the ability to compare various types of information or comprehend time periods larger than their feeding schedule.

Basically you are asking us why do monkeys throw so many rocks at people.
