There are aspects of the trust system that are clearly less than ideal, some of which are probably solvable (and some probably not). But caucusing with people who have very clear and serious questionable behavior isn't going to help you convince people of anything. Anduck had a good case for the trust system being broken. You (cryptohunter) might've had some case for the trust system being broken if you had handled your initial trust issues with rationality and patience instead of absolutely losing your mind and throwing lies around, and even now I could imagine your red trust eventually being cleared if you were able to attain a stable mindset. olcaytu2005 on the other hand hasn't even attempted to defend himself against the accusations (from several independent widely-trusted members, based on publicly-available data) of knowingly assisting scams, so he does not have a good case for the trust system being broken.

I don't know if you can take that as 100% confirmation. He might have just been stating the blatantly obvious (like most of us can see).

I think Stolfi genuinely believed all the crap he used to spew. I dont think that he thought he was a troll if you know what I mean.

Indeed. Which makes him a five bedroom, fur lined, twin turbocharged uber troll to the rest of us.

The most compelling villains in the movies are always convinced they're doing the right thing.

I remember Adam always offering to give him BTC which he always refused. The most bizarre of all is that he's still there on Reddit plugging away as dedicated as ever despite the relentless mushrooming of Bitcoin. The amount of time he's put in means he could've been a millionaire using that time to mine with a pencil and paper.

He must have put in thousands, or tens of thousands of hours in by now.

Sad state of affairs really, mate. Imagine spending all that time & dedication on something youre not passionate about. Itd be like me on a train spotting forum telling them how pointless it is.

Well that's what makes them trolls. Imagine someone going to a Lamborghini forum and then just shitting on Lambos constantly. I think the people who come here even to troll about bitcoin are probably fans or are at least interested or invested in the subject in some capacity. In NLCs case I used to think he was either a person who had made a lot of money from bitcoin and could afford to just sit back and troll about it all day or the opposite and he'd either lost a lot of money or cashed out at the wrong time and that hundred thousand or so he cashed out was now worth millions and that pushed him over the edge.

Maybe discovering BTC, realising he hated it and deciding to tell us over and over and over again turned his life around. Perhaps it turned him into a tiger in the bedroom and a warrior in the classroom.

All the same I'd prefer it if Theymos had allocated him his own forum with bots to agree with him.

Something tells me we'll never get trolls from that era quite that deranged in future. I think many back then truly believed they could talk Bitcoin into its demise. Even the most deluded can't convince themselves of that any more.

2017's bubble pop attracted nothing like the same amount of mindless doom 2013's did.

They'll be back, but don't tempt them. Bitcoin is probably going to be going up and down for the foreseeable future and if we get a huge crash again the fear-mongers will return but we've been through these cycles several times over the years and rode the waves of trolls that came with them.

I'd suggest Game-protect too, but I really don't think he's a troll so that would be a hard NO from me.

I guess the people he effects consider him a troll, but I'd say harassment is just part of his business model as I previously addressed.

Quote from: eternalgloom on July 24, 2019, 08:31:50 PM

I do have another suggestion though, he isn't that active anymore, but every topic I've seen from him just screamed 'troll'.

RawDog:

Yeah, he's a troll. That RawDog guy was like some anti-bitcoiner youtuber but I don't think that's his actual account and someone created it just to troll with.
