I think we are in agreement that PTS should result in the creation of a new liquid asset class that performs the same function.
I think we are in agreement that 2 weeks is too fast...
I think we are in agreement that issuing on BTSX is best
I just think it should be clear that any new asset is not "PTS" and not produced by I3 or DAC Sun and if done properly will be recognized as "fair" by us.
I like this conclusion. I doubt anyone is strongly attached to keeping the mining part of PTS around, but I think it's important to keep it liquid.
I believe too many people have invested in PTS based on the understanding that it would be liquid to just pull the rug out from under them. Ander also made an excellent point about future prospective investors potentially turning away from the ecosystem due to not having a liquid token they are able to buy into as a speculation on the future of I3 supported DACs.
I'm nearly certain that DACs in general will at some point flourish, that you will see them spring up and compete all over the place. Hopefully by that time, Bitshares will be seen as a pioneer and will have sprouted at least some of the most successful and well known DACs to date. I think the decentralized revolution is just beginning and it seems crazy to cut off investment opportunities into the future of the Bitshares ecosystem.
Doesn't everyone imagine there being incredible and complex DACs still be launched and tested say 5 years from now? Isn't Bitshares positioned well to ride the crest of the coming tsunami of DACs yet to be invented in the future? Isn't the point of PTS to invest in future DACs? Feels short sighted to cut it off now and call it mission accomplished. I always assumed it would be years down the line when PTS would get very interesting, after the word was out and DACs following the social consensus were well known and well regarded, with more being created all the time.
I'm actually quite surprised to see so many supporting the "lock-in" of PTS.
I'm rather ambivalent about the naming of the new "PTS" asset, Genesis sounds pretty good but I think the other suggestions would also work.
