The Forum has become a menagerie.
Market timing trolls:

market's sideways troll: stagnation is prelude to a crash
market's crashing troll: don't buy because it's going to zero
market's rocketing up troll : BUBBLE!!!
equivocating troll:
an exchange vulnerability is the same thing as a block chain vulnerability
bitcoin is the same as eGold or Beenz

Over 6.5 BILLION people don't use Bitcoin. They must know something we don't.

like everything else that can possibly be used to do bad things, Bitcoin should be banned.
