Lightning network is good with small amount of BTC

Most of these threads are more or less crude attempts to get merit, which sometimes backfire on them. That's why I think it would be worthwhile to create a "Likely made-up stories" board and move them all there.

You mean true life stories. Stories that have no evidence of existence. If there is a board of bitcoin true life stories, it will only open more ways for other people to read and form their own false stories to narrate. Grin

The truth is that posts like that should fit well in off-topic board since they are obviously not real and we’re made up, but the fact that forum members can easily make their weekly signature posts quota from such thread they have all decided to turn a blind eye towards it and still reply as if the stories are true. And as long as users still reply to thread like that without proper analysis then more of it will definitely be made.

Still it is about bitcoin and that is what bitcoin discussion is for.

Make-up stories are baseless and I believe we share value on this forum, even the thought of it should have been resisted by you. Let the conscience judge anyone who cooked up stories and you may leave and laugh over the supposed such and go your way if you come across them.

Frankly, you are not a perfect person, what if what you term "make-up stories" are the actual events? This is why what we can't be 100% convinced of, see or prove without a reasonable doubt shouldn't be labelled as we believe it.

I understand that since we are not there with these people who create such threads, we are left with no option but to believe it, right? But what I think he is saying is there are some that are so obviously a lie that just looking at it will make you cringe, those are the ones he's saying should have a board so that way people who want to exaggerate things for which Bitcoin made them do, they can just go on the board.

You've got a point. But I feel @Poker just enjoys poking fun at things or people just for the fun of it, right? You too could have just read and passed on if it were that disturbing but you chose to reply eh, well thats the freedom we are talking about. It's a free country and if he wants to do what he wants to, it's his choice and don't take it too seriously.

Sounds like joke. Hopefully it is.

Let us assume this board request is granted for moment, still most of those would go to Bitcoin discussion only, for you these stories may be made-up but for them they are trying to get it across as legit.

Although we adhere to very careful handling of tags, a neutral tag with the wording “fabulist” would probably discourage many storytellers from creating similar topics. Moreover, even those who may have a drop of truth in their story will think a hundred times about creating such topics. Today, managers are attentive to neutral tags, although sometimes tags do not carry anything dangerous for the user, and the fabulist icon will also play a certain role for each manager and his contact with such a user.

Well, I must say, I wholeheartedly agree with the OP's request.

But before that, I think we need to have a separate board for the "Request for a board" topics.

Please, theymos.

We could name it:

Request for a Board Request Board
A place where users can put in their earnest requests for a board, specifically designed for requests about requesting boards.

Please don't.

Rollbit is for you. Take $RLB token!

You can leave links of made-up stories in two topics
Announce your story with Bitcoin, first purchase, sale, business, education ...
Announce your rank up, merit or any achievements that makes you feel great!

I want to tell my dad, my mom, my friend, my children about Bitcoin. I teach them how to buy, sell bitcoin. I buy, sell my first Bitcoin. I want to sell my land, home to buy Bitcoin. My family was broken because of Bitcoin heritage. My friend lost bitcoin because of carelessness.

All are made up stories but how those topics received many merit, it's a secret that I can not understand.

These made up stories no doubt are meant to get some merits but usually these days everyone knows this and they have to come up with some new plan Wink

By the way, what is the purpose of moving all the made-up stories here. These stories are almost similiar and no more interesting to read.

Serious response: The made-up stories in Bitcoin discussion section didn't receive a merit or only receive few merits, which means many users already use their common sense before meriting someone. So I don't think there's should be a necessary move for this case except the moderator to lock the topic.

Fun response: Yes, there are so many made-up stories, so they deserve it's own section. Cheesy

Not a serious request but at least one thing I think is worth commenting on.

There are a lot of threads in the Bitcoin Discussion section that are probably made up, some simply by analyzing the OP's post history are proven false, and those that are not proven false due to lack of evidence at least smell made up. They are threads along the lines of "I convinced xxx to buy Bitcoin and today he is a millionaire" "Bitcoin has changed my life".

The latest installment of this saga is someone who claims to have sold his family's land, without their permission, to buy Bitcoin, and if we take into account that the Bitcoin was kept by him, he is confessing to a crime.

I sold our family land and used the money to invest on bitcoin.
...
My resolution to invest in bitcoin is final and there is nothing anybody can do about it.
