General Discussion / Re: Bitshares needs some type of trademark slogan
« on: September 23, 2015, 07:55:06 am »Google has "don't be evil", which we all know is some Orwellian bs, but that's another story.I like the commodizie everything slogan. The good about it is that you first have to think why Bitshares comoditizes everything.
I went back to Rome for inspiration in finding one for Bitshares. There was a saying that if you went against Rome, "it would put it's boot on your neck". Since "kill you and take your money" is probably not a good idea for a slogan, I sought to emphasize one of the currently more underestimated features. User issued assets will be much bigger than people expect. For example, Individuals in stocks, such as Jim Cramer or Brian Kelly, probably do things like issue frontrunning newsletters. They could issue a finite number of tokens via user issued assets and commoditize their newsletter to the highest bidder. Even things like the Bilderberg group, instead of manually selecting people to join their kleptocracy, can issue tokens for the highest bidder to have a rolling, fully autonomos, aristocratic kleptocracy. User issued assets can be used for almost anything, club membership being one of many.
Based on this, the best thing I could come up with for Bitshares is, "Bitshares: Commoditize Everything". If you just see the words "Bitshares" now, nobody knows what that means. Nobody knows if it's a cryptocurrency product or some kind of Irish slang for "a bit of sharing". Maybe a potato company that shares potatoes with you? If you saw the words "Bitshares: Commoditize Everything" on a card or T-shirt, you would immediately know it's a financial product. It sounds like something you just want to toss money at with a shovel.
