A 1:1 Bitcoin sharedrop isn't a bad idea but not because you can buy it cheap from dumpers but because there will be very few dumpers.
A new coin with less than $10 million CAP would mean that for every $100 worth of Bitcoin you have, you have <$0.16 of this new coin. So it wouldn't be worth their while to claim.
So you get the PR benefit of a 1:1 mapping but with very little supply on the market until it reaches a MUCH higher valuation.
Noshit, where did this guy come from, and why has nobody been listening to him.
Of course the positive PR benefit overcomes any negative FUD over time. How do we know? Because it has been proven (not theoretically, but experimentally).
Clamcoin did an even more half assed arbitrary sharedrop on BTC/DOGE/LTC, and with zero development (pure 1.0 Peercoin POS fork with no 2.0 anything) and wound up being in the top 25 cryptocurrencies on the planet ($1.5 million dollar community today, and all you can do with clams is send them).
Talk about marketing 101, and it's all proven precedented hindsight marketing technique, nothing to fear. Nothing to lose, everything to gain from free sample sharedropping as a successful positive initiative that has been real world proven to grow your community.
Do you want to grow your community (while simultaneously growing your market cap)?
Obviously not.
In fact, it's old news, and anybody who has not learned and accepted the reality of what has already happened is probably denying Auschwitz as we speak.
The money is just sitting there, it's up to you weather or not you want to pick it up.
This is the opposite of speculation, it's old hat old man:

Jesus, wake up you guys, and claim that with the release (hard fork) of blinded transactions, that BitShares2.0 is "finally launching for real". Your last 2 launches sucked so bad that nobody remembers them anyway, and you can always say that you were still testing this kickass DASH-like feature (since anon is hip).
Just collect a few donations (preferably from Daddy Warbucks) and let's drop them on the BTC community (minus the mega-whales, exchanges, big accounts that were created simultaneously (gaming the system) and dust accounts) in conjunction with our
"MORE ANONYMOUS THAN BITCOIN BLINDED TRANSACTION COIN" launch fanfare
Write it up like a committee proposal, and lets fund it. It can't be that hard to sharedrop, we've been calculating vesting percentages for years now (PTS/AGS/ETC/ad nauseam), so I imagine we must be getting pretty good at it by now
Or for simplicity's sake, pull 100,000 random accounts out of a hat, and send them to the ones that are under 1 BTC and give them all a significant amount.
That way many small fish will get some, and the big whales won't have any incentive to mess around.

With what we know now, we are leaving money on the table by not doing this.
Do we want adoption or not?
Well this is a proven effective way to get it.
Fine print:
(of course we are going to have to lower the fees for a limited time so that these newcomers can test the system with their small stake)(this will also help to create viral buzz)
That my friends is how you make others as addicted to our community as you currently are.
Or are you just waiting for someone to fork graphene and do it before we do?
