I know the definition of strawman already
But ill paste it for you:
an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument
You are making arguments such as:
1. his screen name says "ShortCoins" so he must have a short position
2. user xyz doesn't like bitcoin so it must be "ShortCoins"
3. user abc is a newbie so it must be "FUD"
Instead of discussing the pros and cons of Bitcoin. Not only are these straw man arguments, they are also incorrect.
If you want to actually discuss the topic which is about the 1355 different cryptos and how each new one can be bad for bitcoin, then go ahead. But I am done addressing your harassment and false accusations about things not even related to the topic
Topic: ☠☠☠ Is Crypto A Rip-O? ☠☠☠ (Read 180 times)
I don't have a short position on Bitcoin, nor do I have a short position on any crypto. Please stop making stuff up just to support your straw man arguments.
Of course, you’d deny it—especially once I mentioned the potential legalities. But it’s awfully incredible that you created an account named “ShortCoins” on the eve before the historic date of 10 December 2017, then started promptly spewing cheap propaganda which transparently screams “SELL”. Surely, “ShortCoins” has no short position in any coins. [Edit to add: “ShortCoins”, who created an account and first topic “✨✨✨ Time To SHORT For Massive Profits!! ✨✨✨” on the eve of a huge market event, surely has not shorted coins.]
P.S., try educating yourself as to the meaning of the term “strawman”. That word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

Why are you so focused on my "newbie" status. Do you really think bitcointalk membership status has any bearing on the validity of my posts?
I have spent more time learning about crypto currencies and I have provided much more substance than your spam.
It is your choice what to believe, and if you want to go around shouting FUD everywhere, go ahead. It makes you look unintelligent

In matters of “substance” versus the “unintelligent”, I invite readers to compare my post history to yours.
I didn’t say anything about your “newbie” rank. You have a reading comprehension problem. But yes, now that you mention it: It is telling that you created a new account the night before futures trading began on Gemini, and used it to start spewing all this garbage.
Hey, legal eagles, isn’t Gemini a regulated exchange? Would it be legal for someone with a short position to spam message boards trying to push the price down? Just wondering. I mean, hypothetically someone self-styled “ShortCoins”.

Since when is being a realist a bad thing?
Everyone who believes that bitcoin can only go up is in La-La Land. Discussing both the good and bad things about Crypto is healthy. The people who just scream "FUD" are not providing any substance. They are simply spamming the boards. So again, I will request that the spamming and false allegations of FUD cease.

Oh my, it talks back when it should shut up.
There is a world of difference between “healthy” discussion, and spamming the forum with hyped-up, emoji-wreathed garbage designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Sometimes, multiple such topics in a matter of a few hours! As I said, check the timestamps. And all this, from an account self-evidently created for the sole purpose of saying “bad things” about Bitcoin. “ShortCoins”—no, there can’t possibly be any agenda or ulterior motives there.
I am posting this reply, to encourage newbies to examine your post history and decide for themselves if you have any credibility. Your opinion, I don’t give a damn about.

Nullius I am not sure why you come to all my threads and spam the same copy and paste over and over.
Please refrain from spamming in the future. It detracts from valuable discussion

I shall paste a post on your FUD post history onto of your FUD-spamming wherever I see it, as long as doing so does not bump your garbage up too much. If you don’t like it, go jump in a lake. Actually, you should do that anyway.
Why the shilling? Should we all use BCH instead or some other shitcoin what do you suggest? Obviously that other guy is posting that because you're a fear mongering moron.
Exactly. Well said.

I think in the end governments will make their own crypto-currencies
Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ripple, IOTA, BCH, Ethereum appear to be the most popular coins as of right now. I don't see any of these lasting long term but I think there is plenty of money to be made until theres a bubble or some significant government ban/replacement. I think the main reason to invest in bitcoin and the biggest altcoins right now is because investor sentiment is very high and new money is coming in at a high rate. While I do feel Cryptos are a ripoff, I also believe a ton of money can be made off them. If one realizes that for each win there is a loss. And for each win or loss there is a fee. Those fees are becoming massive and cutting into profits - especially for small time investors. If you are going to invest in Crypto you need to have a solid strategy - especially an exit plan.

Caveat lector.
It is alarming how many new digital currencies are created every day.
A few days ago there was 1335, now there are 20 more and we are up to 1355!!!
All of the forks and new currencies make crypto feel like a rip-off. Surely most of these crypto currencies will not succeed.
Is Crypto one big Rip-O?
