Why do people in the altcoin community take their investments so personally? If someone goes to the ANN thread of almost any coin and asks an honest question that may not make the coin look good, people become hostile. If they go to that thread and express an opposing opinion, they are treated like the Devil himself.
I've never seen such nonsense with any other investment. Most GM stock holders couldn't care less whether I like GM or not. So why are so many altcoin investors so childlike in that regard? What do you think?
Actually it's an Internet thing and has been going on in stock forums such as the
Silicon Investor for years. There is a book called
Scam Dogs and Mo-Mo Mamas that I think you wound find very interesting. while reading the book, just replace the word "stocks" with "altcoins" or "Bitcoin" and you could swear that it was written about this place.
