Why pay people to be brainless idiots when there are millions and millions of people who will be untiring brainless idiots all day long for free?

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.

So..a little over a year later and we have a percentage of how many accounts on here are full of shit. (I say 'accounts' instead of 'people' because many are sockpuppets)

Roughly 60% of the accounts on here are ran by the same old gang of dickheads - we know that now.

Say what!! Shocked

No, the average bitcoin customer already didn't have a lot of money in "evil fiat currency" to begin with before bitcoin, and the total market capitalization of the entire bitcoin system is smaller than about two hours of trading profits at Goldman Sachs.  Why would they care?  Moreso, with people like me who think most bitcoin embracers are completely nuts to choose this system over putting their assets in a bank, why would they bother?  There are already enough voices of dissent out there.

For all of you mush-headed morons who found your way here from SomethingAwful, I'll just put some documented facts here in a format you can understand:

Back in September we noted a peculiar RFP by the Fed which sought to become a secret 'big brother' to the social media world, and to "monitor billions of conversations and generate text analytics based on predefined criteria." The Fed's desired product should be able to "determine the sentiment of a speaker or writer with respect to some topic or document"... "The solution must be able to gather data from the primary social media platforms – Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Forums and YouTube. It should also be able to aggregate data from various media outlets such as: CNN, WSJ, Factiva etc." Most importantly, the "Listening Platform" should be able to "Handle crisis situations, Continuously monitor conversations, and Identify and reach out to key bloggers and influencers."

Ah, but Clown Cowboy Crypto the Lone Tool was able to start a thread, so obviously this bitcoin tent is big enough to even have parking for Special Needs Users From Colorado.

Banking Elite? Puh-lease. Next you will open up about ZOG and the Freemasons putting secret messages on your fiat. Until banks figure out how to monetize their relationship to bitcoin, bitcoin means nothing to them. If they can wrap a fee around it, they will adopt it, and they will do so with massive subsidies and the full faith and credit and blessings of the bitchmasters in Washington. They don't need to co-opt any techny early adopters.

Hah, it's threads like these that make me thankful Bitcoin's code and inner workings are complicated enough for them not to be handled by utter morons.

I think Banking elite doesn't care about this forum, and never will.  Even if some day they get interested in Bitcoin, it will be because they smelled profit. The "damage" some of us think we do to the system is really non-existent, and system doesn't need to defend itself from us - especially not by trolling the forums.

Good, sensible comment.

I work for HSBC and I have been told that I would be fired if I did not downplay Bitcoin in every way and detract from its usefulness. My bosses were very clear on that point. They said that even after I was fired, if I used Bitcoin that my life would be "difficult" after.

I'm really scared.

I am sorry if you got scared; this was not our intention, really.
By "difficult", we meant that you would probably have difficulties finding commerces where you can actually spend your Bitcoins.
There was nothing more than that in that sentence. Really.
BTW, we have been very satisfied with your work so far, and we have absolutely no reason to fire you.
Please relax and keep up with the good work.

sincerely,

There is more to Bitcoin than bitcoins.
