It is just that, you know, there are 4 or 5 very known and annoying trolls that are a bit aggresive in this forum and constantly insult those that think btc is not a ponzy scam. What is really wierd is that they use their time and effort creating new accounts and opening discussions with the plain intention to let you know that you are not selling your bitcoins because your are just an idiot.
Is there something behind the trolling or are just idle people?

I agree OP...and it's not just here. I don't know if it's that the subject is money and that's what brings out the strangest inappropriate behavior from people who would never act that way in real life (sober) or the cognitive dissonance arising from the deeply held belief that money must be issued by governments, but what ever it is, it is really weird. Is someone bankrolling theses weirdos? I doubt it.
That said, a good lesson to learn (one that I'm still learning) is to not feed the trolls. It's more than a cute saying. Not responding is by far the best thing to do...although i must admit, I love your self moderated topic...moderating and locking are the best weapons against the trolls.
I've put up with a ton of trolling elsewhere, so I did some digging to try to understand the mindset that drives people to act so rudely...I found this really insightful: https://bitcoinfoundation.org/forum/index.php?/topic/1028-article-i-found-insightful-on-trolling/
I got it, I really did not realised that I was feeding them with this topic. Thank you.
