RE: Bitcoin (BTC) Evening Update: Bull Flag Fractals Everywhere!!
I was already following @taskmaster4450
I removed my witness vote for themarkymark as he was supporting this stupid idea called reward pool rape. Many people asked my if I even know how the reward pool work. My idea of it was exactly what @taskmaster4450 described.
I'm also very glad about the way @teamsteem acted in the background giving his vote on few of the posts. He was one of the first (probably the first) person I voted for witness. Glad to see that happen.
The second really upset me last night. I mentioned that I had taken those three actions, and he data-mined my Wallet page and then posted a screencap of it, accusing me of "begging". He really seems like an ass. Was I wrong in interpreting his post this way? I have wrongly interpreted "satire" in the past here.
Considering a post describing my experience with this new jerk -- "do we want a witness who behaves this way?" Thoughts?
Edit: thanks for the mention of themarkymark, I had him as a witness until just now. And, turns out I already had @teamsteem as a witness, so glad to hear what you saw!
And he made a bunch of money from that post too.
Things don't exist in a vacuum. They have a context. If I saw this "satire" on reddit or FB or something I'd laugh and leave. But given the timing, style, content, resteemer(bernie), comment section and even the formatting of the post This is clearly not satire.
This post had some good explanations and I also added a bunch of comments: https://steemit.com/steem/@taskmaster4450/steemit-new-motto-earn-lots-of-money-launching-personal-attacks-so-we-all-can-laugh-at-others-it-is-a-sure-winner
themarkymark gave me the first red flag with the way he reacted to Net Neutrality which was anti-free market. Then he was promoting a manufactured crime RPR without any clear idea about how reward pool works (due to feelz/cognitive dissonance getting in the way I guess) and his response towards @tt-dogg was unprofessional.(https://steemit.com/steemit/@themarkymark/huge-whale-about-to-buy-up-a-lot-of-steem)
Joking about serious issues and spreading fake info without research (.6% not 6%) is not what I'd expect from a witness. Also @tt-dogg could easily BTFD and do his buys in small portions without sending STEEM to the moon. Charlee Lee actually sold his LTC silently. themarkymark lacks knowledge in economics and trading. Demands can be satisfied without price hikes if you are careful and has low volume compared to market capitalization.
