« on: July 17, 2015, 05:52:57 am »See the problem is that the 3x collateral is based on the feed price. So one can only short so much.
1M BTS can only short like 2.5K BitUSD.
You can add collateral, but you can't remove it. It's really silly.
This is what people have been complaint about and losing money on for nearly a year. People left this project because they got burned from this and then a 10% hit on top. The Devs were too busy creating Graphene to do many thing about it. And now you all are seeing the effects of that. Nobody wants to buy back in because they got screwed and he project has flip flopped to something completely different, multiple times. If BTS 2.0 comes out and is the next best thing since sliced bitcoin, your market cap will suffer for awhile until it is clearly proven. And even then, these people who left are facing another dilemma, whether they want to invest in something like a ripple/bitreserve project or stick to the decentralized mantra of the cryptocurrency world. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bitshares is "decentralized" enough you say. Well it's not as blurry a line to all the people who are out there who haven't invested. And joe freaking schmo at bofA ain't gonna trust his money in a project who's ultimate control rests in a father son duo out of Virginia. Especially in a time where scams are the only things that carry weight in any new article beyond the crypto universe.
If you get rid of Cryptonomex ball and chain,Bitshares may be able to convince the billions of dollars in BTC to migrate over because with out that, you got nothing but all of you who are still here.
Just look at the BTS price. BTS did not ride up with BTC when it hit +$300. It actually faded. Then the altcoin pumps, and BTS faded. Then BTC and the Alts reversed, and BTS got hit hard. Hard like it was pumped. This last dump was capitulation and I would bet you see a steady slow down trend. Probably to the $.002 range you predicted last month.
