I don't understand people who dislike something but visit forums dedicated to it, they are trolls plain and simple. Boring, sad, dull people who have nothing better to do with their life.
You know what I can't stand or understand? Formula 1. It's boring as fuck, watching cars go round and round, but I don't join formula 1 forums just to call them all boring losers who are wasting their life. It's really quite bizarre behaviour for someone to do that,
Are some of them trolls? Probably. Are all of them? Not necessarily. I have a strict definition of troll, though, and I will never consider someone presenting their argument in a relatively polite manner to be one. I will always take into consideration the general level of tension in the forum. Basically, if insults are already flying around left and right, it would take a
whole lot for me to consider someone a troll. This forum is fairly intense for one that does not advertise itself to be as such. Unlike, for example, 4chan, where you walk in expecting everyone to be an asshole, or a comedy website, where you get a lot of jokers who try too hard and synonymize shallow insults with humor.
That's not to say intense is bad: it just is.
Regardless, I don't think anybody posting here hates bitcoin (except maybe Stolfi, but he still doesn't fall under my definition of troll). The vast majority just disagree on where the price is going to move.
Pretty much agree with what you say, even though at this point I have to wonder what the majority opinion in this thread actually is
EDIT: actually according to the current poll the majority is bullish but it isn't by a big margin.
According to this thread, it's mixed, but a lot of that is fear. If bitcoin were stable for 3 months, I'd say most would argue it was bound to go up.
