These guys who were spending 6+ hours per day trolling with dozens of different accounts on BTT and Reddit did not simply quit and go home:

They changed their accounts and style to something much more clever and less recognizable:

Quote
A concern troll is a false flag pseudonym created by a user whose actual point of view is opposed to the one that the troll claims to hold. The concern troll posts in Web forums devoted to its declared point of view and attempts to sway the group's actions or opinions while claiming to share their goals, but with professed "concerns". The goal is to sow fear, uncertainty and doubt within the group.[51] This is a particular case of sockpuppeting.

You look less like a nutter when you're actually replying with arguments/refutations, rather than this concern troll theory.

Is snkns (the person you just replied to) a concern troll? Because he's been very active on reddit, with his concerns.

Is it possible for anybody to raise any concern at all, without them being labelled a troll?

You're being a silly billy. Alex Jones level silly.

Oh, and don't think I didn't notice when you replied to me from your newbie account, and promptly deleted it the other day. I wouldn't be throwing trolling accusations at other people, while you're using sock accounts to agree with yourself  Tongue

You're being silly if you think the guys behind the February troll campaign aren't still trolling under different names with a different style.

It's obvious to anyone who has been paying attention, including you.  Although, you may not admit it if you think the trolling aligns with your interests.

It actually doesn't align with any of our interests because the biggest source of profit in this venture is not wasting energy trying to influence someone to dump (seasoned people in crypto are immune to these tricks and will dump when they need liquidity or want to take profit anyways), but rather using energy to welcome new investors/users to ICN and the platform.
