It's true that everyone has an opinion, and it wouldn't be the same if everyone thought the same, just agreed with everything, and just went along with the herd mentality.

That said, the role "Trolls" play here in Bitcointalk lately is simply to derail topics and persuade newbies to side with their agendas. Most of the time it's to push some altcoin or just to get a rise out of everyone. As for the "Scammers", sometimes they're easy to notice by their sign up date and their 1 post scam letters, sometimes they're more intricate and wait awhile longer, before they pounce.

So overall I wouldn't say it's a good/evil debate, because if everyone just went along with things, it'd be a boring ass place. Trolls play their part, and as long as it's not malicious, and intended to scam, then they also belong here. Scammers on the other hand, have no place in Bitcointalk or the whole Bitcoin community in general, and if we all do our part to point and weed them out, it would help to legitimize Bitcoin.

the problem of not accepting an opposite point of view is unfortunately very common in BTT. That is especially annoying in the altcoins section, where group of people that invested in that given coin is treating the coin as kind of religion-like belief. Don't dare to say something that goes against their "official" line, otherwise you would be called a troll in the best case.

Newbees need to know:
In 98% of cases a person on here is called 'a troll' or being accused of spreading 'FUD' that person is actually right.
Just to share my experience with you.
On this board everyone is full of shit and the scammers are the most friendly and most 'official' ones. We have seen this time and time again.
Don't fall for the scammers and to-the-moon-pumpers.

where do you get those number?
are making survey of it?

Wouldn't call them an asset by any means, though some of them can be quite funny. There are a lot of scammers aswell but I suppose that's to be expected on a forum like this. Not much we can do about either unfortunately.

is this place had scammers too Shocked

Over thousand scammers. Actually one can limit it to under 100 as scammers make new accounts instantly after getting a negative reputation and come here to scam someone. I don't know why the forum can't ban their IP address. Angry

the problem is some users call other users as troll if they're against or have an opposite idea. IMO trolls are the ones who seek attention and don't know how to make their time productive.

Oh my... By that logic, basically EVERYTHING on this forum would be true, including totally opposite ideas.

Won't call you a troll of FUDder, I'm afraid you might think it means you're right.

Trolls are great, but i think the scams on here are a better asset. you can learn a lot about human nature just watching it all. Gawminers is a good recent example.

unfortunately, there is quite lot of spam and misinformation on this forum (probably a bit more than on a regular internet forum). It is actually
very interesting and very educational to look how the discussion develops in this thread. That gives you a slight idea how easy someone can be called a FUDer, or a scammer here, even though that person may be actually right, or there is just a slight difference in your opinions, or the discussion doesn't bring much to the topic.

"Trolls" posting threads about "Trolls". Now I've seen it all here in Bitcointalk.

This forum never fails to entertain!

That image is all that was needed in the first post.

Serious question how much would a troll and his services get if he/she is the most valuable asset here?

They provide a reality check to the forum now and then.
I don't think anybody would be willing to pay for their services.

What we have also learned, is to enable "ignore" for 3 post NEWBIE accounts, with negative comments on fellow forum members.

Bye..bye... to the ignore box you go!

None whatsoever. Trolls are just troll. They have no value or real use for anybody. Trolls just tend to be quite stupid so maybe they are valuable only for scammers and similar individuals. I just don't agree that they are valuable, they are not - at all.

So they are valuable to scammers? but they have no value to anybody? I see what you mean Grin

Harry i reckon you may well get a BTC or two trolling away for some whale to cause panic on a coin he wants to accumulate depend how good of a job you do i guess.
