General Discussion / Re: Perspective is Everything
« on: October 23, 2014, 03:41:03 am »Do folks really want to model DACs on traditional corporate paradigms?
Take BM and the key devs up into the ivory tower and have all correspondence vetted and neutered by the PR police to ensure the share price is not inconvenienced?
The whole point of DACs is to implement a public and transparent business model with direct and unencumbered lines of communication to shareholders.
BM saw an opportunity and presented it to the community.
Funny how folks love to knock big bank/corp/gov but push to recreate the same systems they deride.
Freedom and security do not run together.
Respect to BM for his candour and courage.
Maybe you haven't notice,every time BM does something that's not in the basic principal of a DAC (total decentralization),he and stan claim that
"that's what a traditional company would do"
"merge,that's what a traditional company does"
"This is not a crypto currency,this is a company,we do what company does"
"the social consensus is not a suicide pack"
That's alright,for the sake of the future of the Bitshares enterprise,I concur every major decision Bymemaster does.
But that does not change the fact that this is still a enterprise,not some dream of the libertarians.-----If you want libertarians's DAC , go to the ones who don't not care about their shareholder's price,just like ..... .... .... .. you name it ,the ones who watch their share price shrink 90% and still do nothing aggressive to change that.
Just like bytemaster said, Perspective is Everything.Forum has only 200+ people behind it ,there are more shareholders and supports out there ,as well as enemies. If bytemaster were to entertain a few people on the forum instead of making right business decisions for the very best interest of his shareholders , I would've go to the PPC community.(That's a happy family,even the price of their DAC shrink 90%,they're still very happy,dancing with Sunny King,and Sunny King was very happy too,he does all kinds of little useful software for the people,and still not concern with the Price )
Bytemaster is an entrepreneur, not just a developer.
One wrong move,the future of this enterprise would be in deep trouble.
Had NXT at least pretended a fair distribution model other than 71 people,they would have been popular , Bitshares would not have been grabbing the heart of the people by "fair distribution" so easily. Every time people wants to buy NXT , there are always a lot more people out there reminding him that "NXT only enrich 71 people".Although I think now the distribution of NXT has become more fair than before,but still,the
"71 big stick" is a worst nightmare for their image.
You don't need to believe me. I've watched startups fallen , I've watched major business failed .
I'm a libertarian myself,I've never wore a suit.I like T-shirts. But that kind of decision only threatens what I look on formal events.
This is a business,one wrong move,there are thousands of people lives ruined. I haven't even count in the "depositor" that would deposit their money into BitUSD on this equation.
That why I'm supporting this merger event if I don't agree with everything and I'm not talking about the distribution.... I know this is the best move right now.
