I will be even more impressed when bitcoin's 200-WMA valuation passes up silver and the other assets and currencies... but sure, no problem considering the spot price accomplishments too, even though the spot price accomplishments tend to have a lot of variation, so it might take a bit of time for the spot price valuations to remain consistently higher than the asset that we are comparing it to.
USER COMPLAINT (please be brief): ____ vapourminer, constantly ignoring and not appreciating even quality posts __________
I always receive merit from him. Does that mean my post have poor quality
Pardon me if it annoys you. How can I mean so, you are a gem.
Or you mean on this thread?
I just correct my initial reply:
USER COMPLAINT (please be brief): ____
vapourminer, constantly ignoring and not appreciating
few quality posts ______
I think we are all settle now?
To say it in another way. I am going to complain about vapourminer with the hope that he becomes inspired to send me more merits in the future.
There is probably a better way to go about trying to accomplish that.. .. but hey, what do I know? I am an alleged "push-over" (an smerit sending "softie" who apparently falls into the trap of being "played" by the merit farmers and the other members who don't deserve smerits).
[edited out]
yeah, I also prefer to do the 1 smerit thing. So I see that that naturally comes with difficulties when you have a lot to distribute as a merit source.
Sometimes I just thought, and probably users like nutilda as well, "why is JJG meriting this so obviously merit farming account?"
Which might be not so obvious when you have to go through many new accoutns and decide if to merit
It seems to me that nutildah likes to be a bit of a drama queen, and perhaps even thinking that "he's got it all figured out," and sure, perhaps there are advantages to publicly calling out matters rather than trying to go about it in some kind of a less public and/or diplomatic way.
So, yeah, members have rights to "call out" other members publicly instead of reporting (or maybe supplementing their attempts to report such members), yet it seems that he's trying to be too imposing, and yeah, sure maybe it helps for some merit sources to see how nutildah or others might whine about their smerit sending practices, so whatever he is doing is not completely without affects on how some source members might reconsider their smerit sending practices... and you never know, on the margins too, there might be some ways that nutildah complaining might affect some other more credible members to complain and then theymos might decide to take some action to attempt to address the issue as it had been presented.
Perhaps? perhaps? or there could be some Streisand effect, too... depending on how matters might evolve. I have frequently thought that part of the solution would be to have more merit source members, yet I doubt that would even resolve the problem that nutildah is trying to get at and for some reason he thinks that ongoing whining about me might someday have more benefits rather than disadvantages.. .. .since surely there are some members who agree with his position, so it is not like his fantasy ideas are completely without support... and sure ever once in a while I like to call him a dweeb or to tell him to fuck off, but if I were to only stay with that kind of a response, then some members might start to agree with him more because they believe that I am required to make some kind of a further explanation in regards to his ongoing and fairly regular inflammatory attacks implying that I am being abusive or crossing some kind of an imaginary line (that's in his retarded head) that I am being too liberal in my smerit sending and supposedly not engaging in enough due diligence or whatever.. fantasy requirements he would like to informally impose since theymos is seeming to not inclined to be giving nutildah an smerit Czar position (at least not so far, lucky us (meaning the forum))..
But sadly, most people - majority of the middle aged adults relate BTC to silkroad or terror funding, which ofcourse is there.
Where the do you get these asinine ideas-from Ms Lagarde?
Bitcoin is in ETFs that many millions of people buy.
Stupid people can get all kind of ideas but we don't have to listen to this irrelevant crap, especially here.
Oh! i never knew this forum belonged to you.
When you say dumb shit, it is likely other members are going to respond to your assertions, especially some of the members who have been involved in bitcoin for longer times than you (which seems to be the case that shows some of the things you are saying from time to time). And, surely, in recent times, you have been saying some pretty dumb shit hypebrother which can be misleading to other members, if none of us say anything and let you get away with your superficial assessments that may or may not have some truths contained therein.
Accordingly, sometimes any of us might end up repeating something that we had read or heard in another place, and then we might not even realize how stupid the thing that we just said was... I have done it plenty of times, and even Biodom sometimes has said some pretty crazy things.. so hopefully over time we learn from each other and from some of the batting around of mostly bitcoin-related ideas, even if we might not always agree or understand the point(s) that the other member is making (or trying to make).. and yeah, sometimes we get mad at the other member in the process, too and lose sight of whatever point they were making.
You are correct that any member has a right to participate in this thread and even to say whatever he likes, yet he is going to get some backlash if he presents certain topics like shitcoins in a positive light or bashes on bitcoin without having some kind of reasonable evidence or acceptable logic... so sometimes any of us might point out some flaw in bitcoin and even we might not be sure in regards to what side of the debate that we are on regarding some bitcoin related issues, such as issues related to OP_return or whatever, so we might start to go on a tangent about some concerns that we have about bitcoin, even whether it is a good or bad turn of events regarding the proliferation of bitcoin treasury companies getting involved in bitcoin or questioning whether some of the recent legislation about stable coins is helpful or hurtful to bitcoin, and in some sense, we might end up not supporting our arguments very well, and then other members will attack us for both our opinion and our failure to back up our arguments and then they might even attack us personally based on our previous faulty presentation of a bitcoin-related issue.
yeah, I also prefer to do the 1 smerit thing. So I see that that naturally comes with difficulties when you have a lot to distribute as a merit source.
Well that's the thing,
merit sources don't have to distribute the merit... its a totally voluntary thing with no benefits or requirements. Admittedly, I'm a pretty jaded person when it comes to new accounts in this thread and estimate that 90% of them aren't actually "new" -- they are alts of greedy tards who are ready to take advantage of anyone's goodwill for the sake of potentially earning a few more bucks. I suppose its the utter phoniness of their participation here that gets me the most.
Sometimes I just thought, and probably users like nutilda as well, "why is JJG meriting this so obviously merit farming account?"

The problem (for me) is the behavior being reinforced when suckup slop is rewarded with merits. Maybe its just me, but I think if you really want to help someone, teaching them how to kiss ass is not the way...
I am glad that with your high levels of astuteness, you got so many of these kinds of smerit sending balances figured out nutildah.. and you have identified some important existential problems in this here forum.
Perhaps if you were able to clone yourself, the world (and this forum) would be a much better place?
Edited: By the way nutildah, your supposedly insightful little claim that merit source members do not need to spend their merit sources is factually true, yet it is in tension with the objectives of the forum's merit system as it had been established as part of forum dynamics since January 2018.
Could we consider the forum's merit system to be serving much if any purpose if merit sources were overwhelmingly inclined to hoard rather than spend their smerits?
It seems to me that over the years, several times theymos has had to make adjustments to the source merit members including that there have been times when some of the merit source members were removed from being a merit source member for failing/refusing to spend their smerits.
You, nutildah, seem to be blind to a kind of underlying preference that the forum and the forum's administration has for the merit source members to be erroring on the side of spending their smerits rather than hoarding them.. as you, as the lack of perspective nutjob that you are, seem to consider some kind of value that source members possess some kind of inclination towards smerit hoarding, as if smerit hoarding were a "good thing."
