I believe Stellar has recently been rewritten and is no longer (or soon won't be) a clone of Ripple.

WHOA now...didn't know this.

How has it changed?

Should we invest in Stellar instead then?  :P

Could you elaborate on on your analysis of stellar's consensus model?

Can't find the comparison, but basically, it's an instant confirmation based on quorums. In a way I view DPOS as a very special case of what Stellar has done.

https://www.stellar.org/learn/explainers/

And they also have big plans for decentralized exchanges, developers, API, etc. That said I don't know whether the exact implementation has centralized elements or not. Needless to say their whitepaper is a game changer and will change the landscape of crypto.

That said - BitShares could at some point implement their protocol - it is after all open source. At the very least an integration might be very beneficial.

What I think the platform needs, is the ability to look at everything priced in BitUSD, BitCNY, BitEUR. So it looks like a real trading platform and would appeal to those who want to use it as such.

Take for example ability to trade the pairs BitUSD:BitCNY, or BitCNY:BitGOLD, etc. That would really create demand for BitUSD, BitCNY, etc.

Most of the traders out there don't care about BTS price. They want to buy stocks, futures, options represented in a currency they are familiar with.
You can already trade the markets you listed, they are just not easy to find.  You have to search for them in a very particular way.

I agree though.  I'd like to see some big obvious buttons on the featured markets page that sort the featured and listed markets by that base.

Actually we can trade bitUSD agains bitCNY. U can check the wallet. However there is no volume now.
Pls check this. Real adoption

So you missed what I said above about the blockchain generating synthetic liquidity?

i.e. if there are people selling BitUSD for BTS, and people selling BTS for BitGOLD, it should automatically show on the books as synthetic order to sell BitUSD for BitGOLD.


I suggested something similar.  https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,15118.msg195232.html#msg195232

Stellar is a clone of ripple.bitshares gives the holders the ability to choose delegates. Stellar gives the delegates the ability to choose delegates. Big difference.

You can already do this. Every asset is tradable against every other asset already, most of those markets just don't have much adoption and liquidity.

I need to elaborate - I'm saying the engine could create synthetic liquidity.

e.g. someone wants to sell BitUSD for BTS, then someone else wants to sell BitGOLD for BitUSD. But both these orders are sitting on a thin market. However  when a third party wants to sell BTS for BitGOLD. The engine could match this 3-way order and populate the order books.

Finally - I think Stellar is showing a far superior implementation of distributed consensus, so even if BTS delivers on amazing product + marketing, it may still be outpaced by other solutions.

I share much of your view on bitshares valuation btw.

Let me call out the elephant in the room - there is no solid demand for BitUSD (or other Bit assets for that matter).

Market cap of all Bit assets is under $500K. So with 2.5B BTS in existence, what is a fair price do you think to support $500K in collateral?

Yes, I am taking out of the equation the speculation, because the reality is - the product is there, for some reason there is no adoption. Whether it's marketing, or the defects in the software, or both.

Now I know $500K in BitUSD is laughable if product was free of defects and there was really effective marketing (although I'd rather see defects addressed before marketing goes in). But reality is that this is what BTS is really worth. Ok, let's double it because of collateral. Technically at the moment BTS as market cap, if we take out the speculations is worth $1M.

I think it's great though, because it is creating market dynamics - speculators still try to short, and then they have to re-buy the BitUSD they shorted every 30 days. All the way down to $1M market cap. Once that happens, everything will reverse. BitUSD holders will scramble to sell. A healthy market has these extremes.

And then again - there will always be speculation, so clearly speculators are comfortable with BTS being around 24x the market cap of all bit assets. But I wouldn't be surprised if we dip down to 5x may be even 3x before recovery.

Finally - I think Stellar is showing a far superior implementation of distributed consensus, so even if BTS delivers on amazing product + marketing, it may still be outpaced by other solutions.
