wow, this escalated quickly
the forum has been quiet but not as hostile for a long while now.
Hi Tonyk; there is some interesting threads on Blockpay, Peerplays, Transres and OpenLedger as well as some smaller project looking grow and the merger ending should be a welcome sign for all holders.
newmine - it is an interesting time that you happened to be in the neighbourhood and thought they may stop in and say 'hi'; haven't seen you for months and all of a sudden the merger is finishing and the sun it starting to shine and bang.... here you are.. like magic... i do agree with one of your points that Bitshares is a gamechanger not sure if that comment matches your context exactly but there is a lot of potential for Bitshares; which i know you must recognise despite perceived execution.
mf-tzo - In regards to brownie.pts how do we know that 'me2' is not bytemaster? this account currently holds 230,000 brownies and bought half of that at market (i watched it happen); the other half was orders around 4-6bts
lil-jay890 - In regards to larimer lemmings being burnt on steem; i am a larimer supporter (despite feeling a bit unloved at the moment, the platform that was left for us is top shelf, it does need some further development i will agree but the base products function well and we have budget to pay core devs) so back to steem... i am not an early adopter, i did not mine but i am very far from burnt from the experience . sorry if your faith did not stretch that far that you were around to hear from the horses mouth and get involved. A lot of members from this community did very well, directly from their support of Dan and his visions.
Bitshares has a lot of untapped potential and the only reason the forums are so quiet is because there is a very active conversation elsewhere and members from Bitshares were first inline to try out steem so are active in that community also.
so i guess i'm going to get slammed now, but in the end one of us will be right and one of us will be wrong (and if that is me; i can live with that). Time will tell and until then it is all speculation.. but the proof is in the pudding; Bitshares as it stands today has far better tech than majority of its competition; and its competition can generally only compete against 1 or 2 features within Bitshares arsenal.
are you fearful?? because i am feeling greedy
