More mass deletions happening.
Yet troll comments are still up.
Interesting....
After further review, there is a fairly simple explanation.
Bitcoin Maximalism
Bitcoin Maximalism is the belief that Bitcoin is in fact the One Coin To Rule Them All. The "first mover advantage" is strong with this one. Bitcoin was the first crypto currency to gain world wide attention. According to this belief, all problems within Bitcoin can be solved either internally (block size debate) or as a supplementary feature (sidechains). The true believers of Bitcoin Maximalism must use strategies of crush and absorb when better ideas come along. This will maintain their position for as long as possible. There are VERY large stake holders that are betting on Bitcoin.
An excellent example of this problem solving is DASH. There are inherent weaknesses in Bitcoin that have been revealed after field testing. Transaction speed and fungibility are easy to point out. DASH has implemented vast improvements in these (and other) areas that Bitcoin will find challenging to absorb. Therefore, it must be crushed.
The Mods of this forum are true believers in Bitcoin Maximalism, and they have far and away the most popular crypto forum on the Internet. Why not use the platform to your own advantage? Some of the best and brighest minds in the industry freely post their ideas here. This helps Bitcoin by getting free business intelligence. Trolling on online forums is not new, and is even worse in some corners of the web. People who have time and money invested in Altcoin A sometimes think that trolling Altcoin B will help A succeed. This in turn starts all out war when Alcoin B attacks Altcoin C, who in turn attacks Altcoin A. Ask yourself who stands to gain by this activity? The Bitcoin Maximalists of course. The term for the army of Monero trolls congregating here is "useful idiots".
What can be done?
The initial first-mover advantage will last for a period of time, only to be replaced by the "Fast Follower". Ford Motor Company was the first mass produced manufacturer of cars. Within a short time, General Motors was outselling them by offering something Ford would not. By following a stragtegy of innovation, combined with focusing on getting the word out, DASH has an excellent chance of succeeding in the Digital Cash realm.
The bitcoinTalk forum serves only the interests of the BTC elite. This forum's admins and mods couldn't care less about the bigger universe of the cryptocommunities's most basic original ideas and principles.
DASH is, today, not seen as a sister technology in an open source effort. Much to the contrary: those who have usurped Bitcoin from its original ideals consider DASH a threat.
As latin is so uptrending here today:
divide et impera is their game. They want nothing but to destroy. They are criminals and liers. They make moral accusations, but, still, they have no morals.
Phony pseudocryptoprojects, amongst which stands out the scenographic honey pot currency that is daily promoting open shameless attacks against DASH, always receiving the bless of this forum's admins, are kept only with the nefarious goal of mantaining the Bitcoin's elite's coup
status quo.
And it is a shame that the DASH community accepts this situation. They play "good cop bad cop" daily here. And DASH welcomes it. DASH is dancing to their music, wasting time and resources for the benefit of no one
