Just thinking out loud, it's not that I am disputing what you are saying but have you also considered if this same 100s of newbie accounts are not your usual Btctalk members shitposting for some bounty campaign to increase the number of posts they have and not necessarily spreading FUD?
you are not wrong. there is a lot of different reasons for topics like that, including the shitposters who are just increasing their post number. it even is possible that some of them are thinking that way for real. but the point is how many of them do you think are legit and how many are spreading FUD or what they think is FUD? i'd say most of them are the later.
Exactly. There are many types of shitposters. And in many cases it's hard to differentiate which try to increase the post count and which are made for FUD.
However, most of the ones just repeat the last comment with different words. Or at least we see their number of posts increasing. Those can be typical shitposters, OK.
But I've seen too many doomsday posters with 1-5 posts that it makes me believe they were created for this sole purpose: FUD. I hope that at least on that part we can agree.
