It is easy to game reddit & make it appear so by using sock-puppet accounts which flood that forum these days. This is internet & sybil attack is unsolved.
I don't know what you should do but reddit (or no other forum) represents the bitcoin community fairly.
- BoysenberryPi 11y agoBe it reddit, twitter, hacker news, or people I talk to offline. Everything in the bitcoin community seems to be a dispute about something.
- kang 11y agoYes, what should be a conversation is now a dispute because of polarization tactics deployed. A lot of money has been spent because a lot of money is at stake. This often happens in a winner-takes-all scenario & that is the key difference between bitcoin & other open-source projects.
- BoysenberryPi 11y agoIs this article another "polarization tactic" because it definitely isn't a sock-puppet account

- ATsch 11y agoI think that might just be selection bias. For example, you rarely hear anything positive about the middle east. This is not because nothing positive happens there, but because news space/time is limited and conflicts are intrinsically more interresting. Similarly, if you follow HN, Twitter and Reddit, you can only see a subset of the news and events happening. Because conflicts are more interresting, they are the only BTC news that gets pushed into your visibility.
