The problem is that you are attracting more greedy idiots with threads like these and those that get it and help make this a valueable and usefull forum will wander off and no longer care. Already a high number of old and knowledgable members are gone.
Thats how humans are, I already told you that only a small minority of bitcoin users are fans, the rest of them are just casual users.
We cant have bitcoin as a small private club anymore, to make it global, we have to deal with greedy people too.
If the high and knowledgeable members left because of this, then are were weak, and they are not really supporting bitcoin.
You are talking about price, not value. Bitcoin has intrinsic value due its properties. This has nothing to do with its price and this is exactly why the greedy can not give bitcoin value. They only see its price.
Bitcoin has whatever value we give them,and currently thats quantified by the price.
Whatever potential value it has other than what is quantifies, we will see in the future.
If they build something, shitposters dont build anything. They just rehash. This is exactly my point. If they come and learn and grow and want to understand bitcoin they can contribute to its value by explaining it correctly to others. The more people deeply understand bitcoin the better.
It's not just shitposters, look i wasnt the inventor of the sig campaigns, if it were up to me i would have done it in a different way.
Perhaps remove signatures, and have only avatar campaigns with fixed monthly payout, and then the spam would be reduced.
But it's not my forum, i`m just using the current opportunities.
Im not so sure about this. There is so much information (in the internet in general, not only about bitcoin) that people can easily feel overwhelmed by it. I think they are not sheep, they are just scared because they dont want to make the wrong decision. Failing to see that there are no wrong decisions in ones own life.
Haha thats funny but you have to learn more about human psychology.
I think we are drifting off a bit from the main topic here, but yes the system must remain open to everyone. I will try to bring this back to the forum and my main point. This forum is not attracting the majority. The majority will install an app and just use it. This forum may serve them though by spreading knowledge to those that help the majority. Discussing ideas on where bitcoin should or should not go. Think about new ways to use bitcoin or new businesses. All this is nothing the majority does, the majority will just consume and use. Pitching this place as a big faucet for posts is doing it discredit. Its a place of knowledge and exchange and yes this will include coins unless you fight against it, but it should not be the main focus.
Yes this forum is not the only magnet, and it should not be, because that would be a single point of failure.
But it's also the biggest community, so people will most likely find it eventually, and since 99% of bitcoin users are poor, we need to give them incentives.
Mining is not a hype anymore, because that was one of the major magnets that drove greedy people, now probably the sig campaigns are the only income source for greedy people.
