Anyone who is involved with web-design, is aware of the tactics
of making a forum appear busier than it actually is.

Why make a forum look busier than it really is?
Because people tend not to join or post on forums that are not that busy,
that is why.

How do web-designers make forums look busy when they are not busy?
Web-designers can create their own posts under many alt-names, in
order to create the illusion of having more activity on a new forum.
Or, if they have the money to spend, they can hire paid-posters
to fill the forum with even more posts that way.

And once the forum is looking busier, then the web-surfers are much more
likely to join up and start posting themselves.

It works. That is the truth. It is deceitful(lies), but it does work.


That is likely what dogecoin did. They used paid posters and lots of them,
in order to create the illusion of being a popular coin when in fact,
most people had already rejected dogecoin because of the lousy name.

Dogs buy a dogs coin, and dogecoin is based on lies from the time it first started.
The paid posters even started to lie and say that dogecoin went viral, when
in fact, it was the mass-spam paid posters who kept on posting and being paid,
who went and spread the dog-gospel of dogecoin.

As investors though, you have the choice, of whether or not you will be fooled
or deceived by these tactics or not.

That seems like a decent condition as a prerequisite, but it hardly describes what is actually going on. That set of expressions simply states that the chance of loss of value should be zero while there is a strictly positive chance of profit. In other words: There has to be the chance for risk-free profit.
