Topic: Who is this micgoossens?? - page 3. (Read 2142 times)

I have been thinking that the WO thread is the forum's closest thing to a troll box that might also allow a kind of one-stop bitcoin current events shopping that will bring attention to other forum threads too.   

Sure there is a bit of a bitcoin preference twist and a desire to shut down the shills and alt coin pumpers from most but not all of the discussion, but the thread is supposed to be largely bitcoin specific too - while anyone knows that shills and trolls do seem to prefer a one-stop shopping location too (that's what Jorge Stolfi used to say through 2014/15 about why he would not leave the WO thread - until he discovered some "better" places on reddit - I believe r/buttcoin). 

Surely, the volume of posts can become a bit too much, too, and especially during periods of rumblings in BTC's price, my posts included, so sometimes, you can merely just filter, skim or ignore what the posts that do not appeal to you.. again my posts included..

From the outside, there may seem to be some periods of "over-consensus" and cliquishness, including the recent hat thingie-ma-jiggie, and some assertions of other supposed traditions that might merely be talking points  ...  Anyhow, I believe that overall there remain decent attempts to entertain meaningful deviance from attempts at meaningless consensus and substantial challenging of ideas, while a tolerant kind of piling on the shutting down of the shills and altcoin pumpers, to the extent that is even possible.

yeah visit the wall observer from time to time

edit:  ^cool
swallow your pride, unignore me for a sec, or at least my post up there, all will be revealed^

I agree with you there, and I've probably shared more personal information about myself in some of my posts than I should have.  Then again, I'm not in fear of anyone on the forum, haven't scammed anyone here, and I don't have anything worth hacking or stealing (lol).

I still have a hard time comprehending how I made it into the top 10--and that's not a humblebrag or compliment-fishing.  I'm genuinely baffled.  But if it's any consolation about the merit situation, Vod, you're still #2 in the most recognized list (which you designed the criteria for, lol).  

At least you've succeeded [I know you're joking].  Many members here really are only on bitcointalk to rise in the ranks for whatever reason (ego, power, & money are the usual culprits) and they end up failing miserably, either from ineptitude or being tripped up by greed or some other fatal flaw.  

I've been here for a few years and I know the WO thread exists, but with a red face I have to admit I have no idea what it's all about or why it's so popular.  I think I heard other members mentioning how it's a bunch of TA analysis being shared between a tight group of members.  I feel ignorant--probably because of all my ignorance.

Edit:
Hey, I don't have you on ignore.  I have a serious attention deficit problem (not joking), and I rarely read through entire threads when they get to a certain length so I probably missed something important in this one.  I'll go back and read.

Edit edit:  Heh heh.  I skipped over that post because of all the pictures, but I did just read it now.  OK, fairly good summary of the WO thread, thank you.

shit, I'm in the top 40 with half my amygdala tied behind my back

Meh - you know I don't care about bitcoin.  I'm only on this forum to manipulate stats and boost my fragile ego.   

Speculation is more BTC related Then the merit improvement threads perhaps? 

Visit the thread from time to time and take a HAT

Well, he passed me.  I guess speculation is more popular than busting scams!

He's suchmoon's problem now - I have to concentrate on Jet Cash who wants to knock me out of the top ten.

That indeed was Some fine TA with my old lady holding that paper

Yeah the anti hatter but true WO’er

^^^ We do even have "this guy" that refuses to wear his hat because of.... "reasons". ^^^

(He also refuses segwit outputs as payment so...  Go figure!)

Ya Vod come on down to the WO saloon. We are all very friendly


We have the finest technical analysis known to bitcoinland


er https://www.tradingview.com/x/REFJQRFt/


On Thursdays we chant 'stfu jjg'

We break important news before the msm has its morning enema


We keep each other motivated during the tough times

We pick apart the scammers in fine detail

We give each other merit (which frankly you badly need) for excellent posts


... and much much moar

Yup.

I don't know what are those PMs about... but yeah, you should pay a visit to the Wall Observer thread at least once in a while. Much more entertaining and instructive than the flat-earth thread and, if enlightening people to the truth is your thing, maybe you can even convince r0ach (realr0ach - our resident hateful troll) that Silver/Gold are soon to be outdated and superseded by crypto ... or better yet, please don't, just put him on ignore upon entering as everyone else does... Thank me later.

Who knows maybe you enjoy it AND you might even come out with a nice hat carefully crafted by our fine milliner xhomerx10.


P.S.: @JJG I am not praising his poor opsec at all, maybe on the contrary... That has nothing to do with my opinion that he is without doubt one (or the more) likeable individual of the entire forum... And I know you agree

only those of my old lady .....

damn and thank you guys, for giving such kind posts about me ...... i know its not the real meaning for merit giving, to just MERIT all the good posts about me and (not forum, BTC related.....)
but i have to total empty my BAG in here   
so sorry for those i didn't give 1


AGAIN THX very much appriciated "especialy HAT community    "

then again from all the threats in here you MUST say the WALL OBSERVER is a special on, yeah there is some nonsense/drunk posting/game playing ETC

but many of the true BTC'ers/HODLERS are in that space.      (everyone there knows i got into BTC with much luck and very low computer skills "still nothing to special", very bad english......) and i improved on all so i can say i have learned a lot around there.

A gambler with a penchant for nice boobies.

I asked the same question not so long ago, start reading here

My real question regarding this subject is, what is up with all the hat avatars

Call me a party poop or a skeptic, but I doubt that sharing a lot of supposedly personal information is any kind of good example for how other peeps (whether newbie or more experienced) should hold themselves out on the interwebs, or in this forum, especially when we are talking about financial information and various other possible personal and controversial information that can bleed over into real life, too.    

We should already recognize that the vast majority of forum members are operating within a pseudo-anonymous basis in this forum, and that is the expectation, so disclosing personal information is not necessary, and many already understand such practices as problematic.  I think that is part of the reason that doxxing people can be reasons to get suspended or banned from the forum, yet I will definitely concede that self-doxing remains another question that is discretionary, but I still would question any rational to attribute credibility to self-doxing based on supposed weaker opsec and supposed "transparency".. and certainly I would question whether it is prudent for a vast majority of members to emulate such self-doxing or to obtain less credibility because they chose not to disclose personal information in these forum threads.

Such pseudo-anonymous basis of most forum members remains the norm of the forum, as far as I can see, and it would not matter if you are on the WO thread or any other thread, and such choice to continue in pseudo-anonymity should not cause people to be less credible because we have various forum systems in place to attempt to help with aspects of credibility when it comes to the forum reputation - including merit, activity, trust and of course post contents and track record in regard to post contents.  

In other words, those who choose to attempt to continue to interact on the forum with largely quasi-anonymous practices should not have any less credibility.. and supposed openness and transparency is almost the opposite of a good model for newbie members to emulate about how to attempt to gain credibility on the forum.  So, in that regard, I would question any praising or even reliance of such supposed transparency and openness, even if some peeps make such voluntary choices about their forum interaction methods.

You're outnumbered by hats in this thread Vod!

I mean, one Vod:

VS.


I like the thread, but there's too much nonsense to read through A summary of all the useful information would be a great addition

And I need a hat too

You could always create an alt... and then accuse him of being an alt of Thule

Unfortunately, he seems to be way too coherent and switched on for that strategy to work... Plus, you know, he is chilled... and wears a hat.
