Every other post is people accusing users of being clones or puppets of other users.
Please we need to brainstorm a way reduce this,
This is a classic divide and conquer technique, not sure who it is being used by. Maybe it is happening naturally. It is not good for btc or this forum though.

Brainstorm your ideas.

This is happening because there is a lot of bad shit happening in the last three months. BTC is getting bigger, more finance-heads are playing old-world fraud games, and people's confidence is being eroded. The hobbyists are feeling taken for a ride, people are losing LOTs of money. Paranoia follows. Paranoia is actually healthy to a limited degree - we need more skepticism to keep BTC stable.

We are seeing massive level scams being made.
We need more serious buisnesses to invest in Bitcoin, so that it can gain trust of normal people.

A currency cannot gain wider audience if it is mostly used by all kinds of con-artists.

Bitcoin is as powerful tool as it always was, nothing has changed in that matter. All the amazing properties are the same, and no new technical weaknesses has been discovered.
What failed is the dark part of human nature. And that is what we need to improve.
