I think some of the point is being missed here guys.
Does it point out some legit past mistakes and possible future hurdles, yea.
Is it obviously written from a biased standpoint, you bet.
The important thing to remember is Bitshares is being talked about. It wasn't a piece written about ltc,paycoin,nubits. It was written because the author believes this is a topic people will lead people to his site.
If people are interested in Bitshares you have all ready gotten them to take the first step. It doesn't matter if they love or hate us. Now that they have taken that step you attempt to educate them about the lesson's learned and the differences. You open them up to a intelligent conversation and shares thoughts and ideas.
This and any other article written is a good thing, sit back sip your coffee and prepare to expand minds.
