I think that alphabar and his dev team need to review this thread and realize that they are actually going to hurt the BTS ecosystem. Marketing will hopefully be starting soon and this PTS vs BTS mantra needs to end. Newbies will be really confused about it and it will create a major turn off for adoption.
I would like to hear some good arguments from alphabar on this
I really do not see how this hurts BTS. BTS is a SuperDAC that can (and will) take any technology it thinks will give it the advantage. It is complex and has many moving parts...however. This means it is difficult for me to sell to the everyday person. It is also now becoming a more centralizing force.
PTS, on the other hand is simple. The value proposition is simple and elegant and it works more as an investment in future bitshares-based chains. I think people are thinking more in terms of bitcoin when they look at what they want bitshares to be. To many (especially those here first), Bitshares is an entire ecosystem that competes with itself to make the best of the best solutions...and the SuperDACs that employ the best of these solutions will become the strongest.
I am glad to see people expressing their opinions, but I am holding far more BTS than PTS/AGS and
still want to see PTS/AGS exist far into the future. Otherwise we are not diversifying risk. We are restricting our investment vehicles in the bitshares ecosystem to 1 single point of failure...and that is a terrible terrible idea. Why is this value proposition lost?
