Fellow Steemians and the world
I would like to discuss the upsides of the Poloniex trollbox being disabled in the wake of other technical issues on the crypto currency trading platform.
In my own personal experience these sort of chat spaces are not somewhere that any serious trader would be going to get any real investment advice. However, despite this fact i would be lying if I said i never looked at it whilst waiting for a position to clear or when just bored.
I knew very well that people saying pump and dump or other calling for people to buy was merely just a ploy to coerce people into making emotional trading decisions.
It's not until it was simply gone that i have realised how much focus i have when i am trading and actually how much even i was influenced by the TROLLS.
In the early days these types of open chatrooms acted as kind of a community forum where people could earn respect for helpful information and really helped rally support amongst its users.
But as more and more money became involved, the trollbox caught the same sickness that has been plagueing man since the dawn of commerce. GREED
This greed has turned these trollboxes into pools filled with hungry piranhas, laying in wait like death traps-just waiting for a newborn trader with a fresh handful of bitcoin and bright eyed optimism. They often fall into them like lost gazelles and subsequently get mauled death after investing poorly.
They then log off, they say crypto is a scam cos they lost their money and more importantly-THEY TELL PEOPLE
Those people tell people and before you know it you have another group of people who think places like this including Steemit are just bubbles or scams.
See people this affects all of us involved in this industry, despite the fact the growth of the cryptocurrency world is an inevitability.
I think these trollboxes are now outdated and detrimental to everyone involved and are unnecessarily scaring away new people.
Another point to add is people who end up trading steem or any other crypto need to do there research!
People will become educated, which will further attract more traders growing the industry much faster.
This is very good news for those of you holding crypto. we want more people involved. We want to be recognised. We want your steem to be worth more.
So to those at Poloniex or other trading sites. Keep those Damn trollboxes away. They suck balls anyway.
Anyone Reading this follow if you agree or give me a yell. or hell just crack open a beer and tell a friend.
Thats all i have to say about that.
Someone....
