Dead coins always capture 5% of BTC's hashrate in their first month, amirite?
With every person that posts, ask yourself this: what is the motive. Nobody posts without a motive. ANYBODY posting in this thread, regardless of their supposed "opinion" on MZC clearly has a stake in the coin. Why else would they waste their time on every. single. page. if they weren't actually somehow invested? They wouldn't. So here's the breakdown of people in this thread:
1) The largest group: miners and traders who honestly want the price to go up and act that way, sharing positive and promising aspects of the coin. Most people in this largest group want to get rid of most if not all of their MZC when they hit some sort of threshhold - 2x, 5x, 10x profit? These are the sincere people - they might not admit their intentions, but they are sincere in being optimistic about price, and their optimism suits their cause by hoping others agree and help support the buy order side of things.
2) The second largest group: miners and traders that expect the price to go up but do not act this way. They don't plan on cashing out today, but they do like making money off of fear - so they spread it. They aim to spread panic now while uncertainty is highest, play the waves, and increase their position - because they know/expect that sometime this week, the price will be at a premium compared to what it is now, and that is their planned exit. Until then, it's all a charade from this group to make waves on the charts and open up margins. This is, on average, the most trade-savvy group. They're not just investing, they're working.
3) The third largest group: newcomers and simpletons who don't do an ounce of googling or backtracking through the thread. These people are naive and clueless, just got a sniff of a hot new coin, and are coming ready to ask questions first and read later. This group is the target prey of strategies employed passively by group #1 and actively by group #2. This is what all of the posturing from daytraders listed in the first two groups - these people are the most important ones in the thread to everyone above. These people are the fodder to fuel volatility. The best part is, it doesn't matter that I'm saying this - cause none of them will read it once it's not the newest page!
4) Fourth largest group: advertisers. Pool operators and promotion shills like that fucking spamming asshole from Atomic-Trade - just make a fucking image like everyone else don't act like "one of us" with your fucking referral link. These people don't really read threads so they're basically irrelevant.
5) Fifth largest group: the believers. I'm not even sure a single one of you posturing motherfuckers is in this group. I bet we're all daytrading scum trying to spin the market to our own devices. Nonetheless, this group is composed of people who actually support the overarching mission of MZC and aren't primarily concerned with price - they bought in at 14 and don't give a fuck about price, cause they are thinking about 2015 and beyond and what a beautiful revolution this could be. I consider myself 20% in this group because I plan on going long on 20% of my MZC holdings at worst, up to 50% if it gets traction.
Not Present: Whales and pure trolls. Whales don't give a fuck what us little guys think, because it doesn't matter. Everyone in this thread is essentially group #3 from the whale's perspective. Pure trolls would not come troll people about stupid cryptocurrency (pure trolling being just fucking with someone for the sake of a reaction, without any underlying motive). Nobody here is a pure troll. EVERYONE here has a motive.
The only logical conclusion: regardless of what anybody in this thread says, they all are here because they have money in the MZC market. Whether it's going in, or trying to get out, or just trying to stir up some shit to open up a margin - literally everyone that takes the time to post in this thread owns some MZC or wants to.
You hit the nail on the head, awesome post.
