Poloniex goes WILD, as the trollbox and markets are flooded with FUD about Ethereum, as ETC takes hold!

in #money8 years ago (edited)


The trollbox on Poloniex exchange is being hit HARD with FUD about ETH, as Ether Classic trades have gone up. It seems that many are flooding the box with posts related to ETH's downfall, as the true decentralized coin has been enjoying pump after dump for minutes! Don't miss out on the fun, as the coins take to battle!


Could the attacker be behind this? Who is standing to gain the most from this?


Sort:  

Are people seriously taking financial advice from the TROLLbox?! There are some insane pumps and dumps. But at the end of the day some people are going to lose huge amounts of money. They probably deserve too if they took the trolling seriously! Feel really sorry though.

Let's face, ETC is going to devalue to the point of irrelevance. Don't get me wrong - it'll still be around and miners will take advantage of the very low difficulty. But it's destined to settle around 0.0001.

Absolutely. It's disturbing to me how many people might actually be currently burned as people spam the trollbox with this crap. It seems to me very odd that Poloniex allowed for ETC trades....but I guess it was necessary after the DAO tokens were returned in both forks. I totally agree with you though, this thing is going to the pits.

I think as a major exchange they could have been a little more responsible and put a notice on the top or something. Or at least disable the trollbox!

@crypt0 So my question is why on earth ANYONE would buy a coin on fork. Shouldn't be in ETH or ETC until there is massive hash power on one side or the other. Am I missing something, is the fork over yet?

Bought some ETC! Lets see what happens

It's currently at 12.5% or ETH, that's crazy. Wish I had kept my Eth on Poloniex pre-fork...

ETH/ETC

Down to 4% now.

...And not back up again, as the pump wave continues. sigh

ETC. and ETH is it same? someone I could explain? Is it time to buy ETC? I do not understand because I am Spanish and I use the translator. Thank you

Do NOT buy ETC. It is a scam being perpetuated by people hoping you pick it up. No compres a ETC. Yo hablo español tambien. Es un truco. ETC vas a perder todo su valor en tiempo corto en loque los que estan supportando a ETC ganan su dinero. Cuidate, jefe.

Muchas gracias por la explicación @crypto. Ya estaba temiendo por mi ETH jaja. THX
