But spending at least 15 hours a day in this forum bad-mouthing something they apparently hate, one has to ask what is their real aim in being here. So it would be great if we could have more data about those people.

It is a legitimate question. Even if you truly hate Bitcoin, why not go somewhere else and make positive contributions to something which is antithetical to Bitcoin? Hell, there are lots of things happening in the world that I dislike, but I will not waste my time seeking out and trolling places where those things are discussed. Life is too short. I'd rather hang out with people who have similar goals and objectives and try to accomplish something together, cooperate rather than antagonize. I have to believe that one or more of the following three things are true: 1) these people are paid to be here, 2) Bitcoin threatens their very manner of existence in some way, or 3) these people operate with a totally different set of values than the rest of us.
