Topic: People paid by banking elite to troll this Forum? (Read 7593 times)

A better question are whether those who moderate this forum are genuinely scammy?

When someone points out that SPV is NOT peer-2-peer and if the 'default recommended client' is switched to SPV Multibit while the Bitcoin sales pitch retains the P2P descriptor it smacks of dishonesty, and has their post deleted by unknown moderators for unknown reasons it does not smell right.  It would be hard to argue that said post was 'off topic.'

Bitcoin is cool, but it has been and continues to be pumped in a highly questionable manner.

 - peer2peer:  Known by informed persons to be largely untrue in the not to distant future, and some people have put a great deal of work into driving the solution in this direction.

 - Anonymous:  Fuck no, particularly in light of Snowden's confirmation of large numbers of network taps and the PRISM family of corp/gov relationships.

 - Deflationary:  Maybe arguable several four-year cycles down the road.   Or not.  It's just code, and when only a handful of people mine and hold the block chain, who knows what they can be convinced to do?

Whatever the case, Bitcoin has been a good speculative bet for me and I have as much hope as ever that it will continue to perform even as it's soul is sucked dry.

This is a no brainer to me, but would love to hear other people's input.

I don't think so... in idle conversation with the people who work at my bank I've mentioned bitcoins and they said that it was a good investment. Unless they want me to invest in it because they know it will fail... I really don't think that bitcoins are even that much of a threat to them.

Lets be honest, they aren't above- Well, I was going to say trolling but the thing is at least to be a troll you have to have some class, if you look at reviews of forex brokers you have constant accusations of price fixing etc. when things haven't gone their way, here in the UK there's this never ending debate on taxing big financial institutions etc. where the financials threaten to leave if they get taxed too much.

The banking elite doesn't care about this forum.  We are like little gnats buzzing around their heads at worst.   They care about bitcoin in general and want to squash it in its infancy but they don't care about the few people who use this board, so no reason to troll it and post anything.

Wouldn't a 'troll' label be great.  People earn it, it would be a great way to save having to read bollocks over and over again...

I would not put some degree of paid activity on behalf of big powerful organisations, corporations or associations. History is riddled with infiltrations into great ideas.  The recent allegations that senor Snowden has revealed before our eyes is the most recent.

The intelligence agencies are definitely 'all in'.

Why wouldn't some of the most powerful corporations in the world?  

100%.  It's messing with their mojo's.  Shocked

Firing it up
Even these bankers try to, they fail if the user(s) use finCEN registered service to.

My place, currently questionable. May some people notice more in future. Usinf FinCEN registered can block some of them as bankers are also FinCEN registered.

Why would anyone bother to troll this forum when it is so much easier to contact the NSA and request detailed analysis going back to post no1 ( in triplicate)

Trolling ? No.

Spreading some propaganda ? Yes, why not. That is possible.

I have no doubt there are people being paid from all sorts of different industries to read and post on this forum.

Not just banking, but other industries as well.

It's the nature of the net.

OF COURSE THE ELITE HAVE THEIR HANDLES AND AGENTS IN THIS PLACE!!!!

This forum is the single MOST important forums and places online right now for the banksters and powers that be to try (last gasp) to keep their handle on the monetary controls.

So I get the ignore system, but without also implementing a secondary authentication this leads to situations like
mine wherein my account was hacked, a hacker posing as me ran around every major thread one Wednesday (7/10),
then when I logged in on Friday I discovered a bunch of people had suddenly ignored me and this prick had bid on
multiple posts in my name which suddenly makes me look like an asshole, all the while I was probably sleeping.

Two form authy seems like it would've made this much less feasible, and I wouldn't have landed on anyones shit list.

Yes, I've upgraded my password.

Not sure where you get 60%.

But I find it funny to peruse the absolutely certain comments from this community as to how absurd is the idea that people are hired to disrupt these forums.  This, in spite of the fact that this kind of activity has by now gone mainstream.  This is an article from the guardian that describes the "sock puppet" phenomenon.

If you are a man, chances are you are a know-it-all.  If you are also a software engineer it is a certainty.

The 60% is the 59.7% that voted "no", despite the fact that the government has already admitted that they troll forums.

I don't think people can be that stupid, or that certain, and that leads to the conclusion that those who voted "no" are the gov paid trollers themselves.

WTF then I never got paid! Bankers, please send my bribe to

Thanks in advance!

But in all seriousness, yes I can be that stupid. I still fail to grasp why the Illuminati would pay for something they'd get for free anyways.

Standard human behavior is to skip by posts that people find unimportant. They don't actually take time out to block/ignore spammers. We need a hard auto silence switch. Something like 2.5% of all established members ignoring? If you have spent 4 days and 4 hours of your time here to become established, and you are ignoring people, its a serious issue.

Banking elite dont care about bitcoin, they laugh at its price swings over morning coffee.
You are correct. it's value is too unstable to contract, estimate, forecast or pay anyone in, it's too slow to transact and it cannot handle large liquidity exchanges without huge value penalties, so it's limited to small potatoes transactions and really no competition for money.

It is a serious threat to the debit and credit card monopolies though, and a huger still challenge to the central banksters because it endangers the lifeblood of their most treasured deregulated  "credit swap derivatives" loophole.

I doubt they pay people just to troll the forums. I'm sure they have a few people that have keywords on google so that whenever something is made with that topic they get an email about it. Just like any stock trader watching the competition.

If you have been on the speculation subforum for long you will know it's probably true, other than that some of the FUDers, rather than being paid, may have vested interests in the old system themselves.

e.g., check out this guy here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/nagle-28488 Why did he show up only after Bitcoin crashes? If he is not interested in Bitcoin at all,  why did he feel it's his business to spread all kinds of "doom and gloom" to the most fervent believers of Bitcoin? Why does his website contain nothing but FUDs? Do you believe he did all this just because he was, like he claimed, concerned that people will lose money to Bitcoin?

Shilling is an industry, you have to see it to believe it.
