[...]over such a little thing as account sales[...]
Not a little thing.
Sure, the money you get is pocket change, but the damage it has caused to the forum is serious.
If the bitcoin community is judged by this forum, we're nothing but a bunch of bumbling crooks and inept street hustlers, stealing as much or more from each other than from outsiders.
I realize you're new, but please read some of the posts from the early days of this forum, and compare.
It's an embarrassment. I, for one, am embarrassed. And I'm sure Satoshi would not be proud
Please explain how it has caused damage when, for the tenth time, whether we allow or disallow the sale of accounts it changes absolutely nothing. The beauty of bitcoin is it can be used for everything by everyone good or bad, but what it is used for is up to the individual. Bitcoin gives people freedom and that's what satoshi intended. We've got entrepreneurs to child pornographers using it, criminals to charities, altruistic libertarians to greedy capitalists and everything in between. Don't like one of them? Suck it up and deal with it. And you don't know how satoshi feels about anything. Maybe he's immensely proud that an account on a forum he created is now worth hundreds of dollars. Maybe he finds it humorous. Maybe he's disgusted by it and what he created in bitcoin or what people now use it for. Maybe the opposite. Nobody knows, but one thing I do know is you're projecting your own beliefs onto him and I doubt you're no saint either.
